Does it include the phrase "none of your fucking business" in any form?

@SaltSpecial @portraitinflesh A terrible shame, because clearly you, a random person on the internet, understand environmental science much better than a man who's been studying nature for 80 years.

De politie heeft vanochtend drie kinderen (4, 6 en 7) gearresteerd omdat ze spulletjes aan het inpakken waren voor de vrijmarkt morgen.

Dat mag niet op zondag.

Laat dit een waarschuwing zijn. Deze drie komen dinsdag pas weer op vrije voeten.

Some incel weirdo actually sat and calculated how long after her husband died a woman had sex again, then judged her for it like it was any of his damn business.

> Aubrey Plaza’s husband Jeff Baena died in January
> She is now expecting her child from another man in April
> So she must’ve gotten pregnant in July.
> She didn’t even wait 6 months before getting a new partner and getting pregnant by him

This is what modern relationships are like.

Before, women used to wait a lifetime for their husbands.

She should’ve at least waited a few years.

@SamVanivray @tweeter_f @NotThatHughes It's OK, you've proven to everyone's satisfaction that you're a blue-tick doofus. Relax and go drink some paint or whatever you do in your spare time.

Een van de antwoorden op De Slimste Mens luidde dat Angela Merkel werd geboren in de DDR. Dat is onjuist. Zij is in Oost-Duitsland opgegroeid, maar geboren is ze in Hamburg. #slordig

Since people on this abysmal website are so fond of quoting Orwell without really reading him, here's yer actual #Orwell describing a public meeting in Coming Up For Air that is unnervingly similar in mood to modern social media.

Having failed to conquer 85% of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin launched a special military operation to annex Donald Trump's brain. He met virtually no resistance and the campaign is expected to conclude tomorrow.

Dad phones to say he was expecting us to arrive for a visit today, when we're coming tomorrow. I worry this is an early sign of dementia.
Then I go to pour myself a second cup of coffee, only to find the pot empty because I've already drunk it.

Are the Americans who've been fined, harassed and even charged in the room with you now?

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For too long, Americans have been fined, harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising their free speech rights.

Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans. Free speech is essential to the American way of life – a birthright over which foreign governments have no authority.

[Gordon Darroch @emigrewidower]

@maenadea I collect very short ones, but this one's out of my league.

[Gordon Darroch @emigrewidower]

It's almost like they came up with a family and childcare policy without consulting women. Maybe they're too busy addressing women's real concerns like whether men should be on their sports teams.

"The White House has been hearing out a chorus of ideas in recent weeks for persuading Americans to get married and have more children". Everything except for paid medical/parental leave, affordable childcare, and affordable health care for parents AND children. Great job, dudes.

@SaliSelahQuest @StephFolf @martindelp @RichardHanania Did it start with one of two democratically constituted parties changing their candidate for an election that they went on to lose? Be honest now.

@chewy326240 @MattWalshBlog OK, sit down a minute and maybe grab a drink of water, because I'm about to introduce you to a sensational new concept that will change the way you look at the world.

I want to know the lettuce's point of view. It can't be further removed from reality than this.

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

Trump has been proven right about pretty much everything.

Now he is trying to do something about it, the elite is howling with indiscriminate outrage.

Those who consider him too audacious underestimate the power of the establishment he faces.
