Many people are telling me this is actually about capitalism. I've never heard of it. Can someone tell me more?

I think in terms of insults, it's more substantive to reference the president's relationship to Jeffrey Epstein as well as his disinterest in the democratic process than simply calling him orange. I still don't think it's funny but there's more to work with here.

They're unhappy with me for saying this but it's like this every day lmao

Its a profoundly alienating feeling watching people interact with posts like that.

I don't want to tell anyone how to cope with the current state of things, but I need you to know that the "Donald Drumpf" or "cheeto in the white house" nonsense I see all the time here is really uninspired.

I get that opinion columns are written sometimes as obvious rage bait, but this seems over the line.

There are many words you can use to describe Rowling's recent behaviour. I struggle to see how courageous fits.

J.K. Rowling. It’s not the Hogwarts stuff that entrances me, or the massive Robert Galbraith mysteries, or the movies and stage shows, all of them ultimately emerging from one young Scottish mother’s head as she endured poverty and a husband’s violence. It’s her courage. Rowling goes out of her way to defend women as they move in an ever-unfriendlier world. She’s stalwart, a modern Decca Mitford or a Sarah Polley at the prow of her great ship. She is unassailable, a voice for women when so many have been silenced.

How am I supposed to explain to my son what a b-word is (he's a terrible listener and doesn't exist)

If you are going to have hot mics in a champagne party with jubilant youngish players there will always be a chance of expletives on air! It isn't offensive to me but I can understand how some don't like it, an easy solution is a slight delay and producers monitoring the feed like old live radio!

Sorry but a baseball game is no time for swearing. That time should be used for quiet reflection

Eric Wickham @ericwickham.ca · 2d

Erica is right

This is not who we are!

Eric Wickham @ericwickham.ca · 2d

There's no room for swearing or joking in baseball sorry
