Remember: the SPLC was idiotic enough to call Maajid Nawaz a spreader of Islamophobic hate.

I hate it when someone says they'll be a "little" late for when the amount by which they're late causes significant inconveniences for others. Many people are incredibly unable to be considerate of others' schedules.

What is being human, if not a most obscene dance?

It's World Diabetes Day!

Damn, this earth's had too much sugar.

The fire in Butte County, California (unhelpfully named the Camp Fire) is now the deadliest wildfire in Californian history.

75% of African Americans, 82% of Asian Americans, 87% of Hispanic Americans, and 88% of Native Americans dislike PC culture. Start realizing this already and thinking maybe this means something.

Why did they use Trader Ming's for Chinese food? What is their story with "Zhou"? Was all the similarity up to here coincidence? Did they think just Chinese food should be different? Or did their marketing team literally not have a single person aware of the phonetic proximity of "Zhou" to "Joe"?

There's something I don't get about Trader Joe's. For their products more associated with certain worldly cuisines, they tend to label their products with some name similar to "Joe" in the respective language, like Trader Jose's for Mexican food, Trader Jacques' for French food and Trader Giotto's for Italian food.

When you say "all the European countries", and then later it turns out you're wrong and you mean something like "10 of the European countries", don't follow that up by correcting yourself to "all the European countries that matter".

This is an example of something Americans everywhere along the political spectrum seem to fail at fathoming as insensitive.
