If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.
Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.
“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.
We are aware of all internet traditions.
Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.
If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

I wasn’t New Zealand to win, but am afraid Netherland will.

OT a bit, but, um, hey, did anyone notice that we have a new Triple Crown winner? First time in 37 years!
I mean, Wow! (And I’m not even a racing fan.)

Looking forward to the recipes if you continue that. They were fantastic. (New Zealanders taught me to eat fresh tomatoes on toast; habit still going strong.)

Well, looks like the NYT is emanating giant squid clouds of butt-hurt b/c Hillary’s flipping the script from ’08:mobile.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/us/politics/hillary-clinton-traces-friendly-path-troubling-party.html?…

Clinton won five more electoral votes than Obama, and the Times wants to talk about Obama’s “far narrower path?”

@efgoldman: And some of them so lonely!
Also, too. For anyone interested Netherlands won 1-0 (though I didn’t watch it, just reporting the result)
fuckwit
Fuck the High Broderist New York Fucking Times. Fuck them! With a rusty pitchfork, fuck!
Valdivia (The Terrible)
@fuckwit: I think we are going to need more than one rusty implement. I am willing to bring my own.

@Valdivia (The Terrible): I would need to go up to our cabin, but I think I could find a few in the shed.
Valdivia (The Terrible)
@Omnes Omnibus: I was going to say that buying them is no good because they have to be rusty. I am sure some smart person could come up with a way of selling the rustiest ones, for political purposes.
Omnes Omnibus
@Valdivia (The Terrible): Some people want to monetize everything.
Valdivia (The Terrible)
@Omnes Omnibus: True true. But I wasn’t thinking of the monetization angle, more about making sure we had enough. For the movement.
Omnes Omnibus
@Valdivia (The Terrible): We could just have the local soviets ‘nationalize” the things.
Valdivia (The Terrible)
@Omnes Omnibus: Oh yes, we could liberate them. Excellent idea. Me and my false consciousness talking about selling them.
Omnes Omnibus
@Valdivia (The Terrible): “Liberate.” That is the word I was seeking.
Omnes Omnibus
Wow, fresh tomatoes mentioned on this thread as well. It must be the season.
Valdivia (The Terrible)
@Omnes Omnibus: Not to worry. You will be refered for a refresher lingo course tout suite ;)
Omnes Omnibus
@Valdivia (The Terrible): Is the one of those courses where “intellectuals’ and “liberals” work with their hands for a while?
rikyrah
@Mike J:
Oh, this just tickles me.
Valdivia (The Terrible)
@Omnes Omnibus: Indeed. If one is lucky one gets sent to make beer.

judging from the last three or four “football” threads, it seems that very few people really give a shit about soccer. We have some comments about rugby, horse racing and Hillary. Soccer, not so much.
but it looks good on you, though.
(sorry, can’t resist taking a jab at soccer and its fans….I have issues…what can I say? I’m sure the fans are having a very rewarding time watching these Women’s World Cup games….oops….matches. Lot’s of excitement on the field…..oops…..pitch.)
Omnes Omnibus
@magurakurin: As one of the people who made rugby comments, I can say that I will start taking an interest in the Women’s World Cup once it enters the elimination phase. I think a lot of people are that way.
magurakurin
@Omnes Omnibus: fair point, but it still doesn’t resolve my issues. Soccer, the Olympics and Apple…haters gotta hate…guilty as charged.
oh and Go Nadeshiko….頑張れなでしこ
Omnes Omnibus
@magurakurin: Hate on, if it makes you happy. It causes no distress to me.
magurakurin
@Omnes Omnibus: thanks, bro. ;)

Not even a pre-programmed late night thread? One haz a sad.

@Omnes Omnibus: grindr is pretty lively this time of night, you could try that.
