Oh, you have no idea how hard it was to type that post.

Marathons bring out the best in humanity. The idea of people standing on the sidelines and cheering non-elite athletes, at like hour 4 of the race, just because those runners are trying really hard to accomplish something... the whole scene makes me cry every time.

It certainly will make it a bit easier at your citizenship ceremony to swear allegiance to His Majesty, his heirs and successors.

Dorian Lysnkey and The Mountain Goats bantsing around is a nostalgic throwback to the golden age of social media.

And what does "give more than they take" mean, anyway? Is this a mathematical formula, like taxes paid minus benefits received? If someone gets expensive but life-saving treatment on the NHS while they have ILR, does that make them a financial burden and therefore not worth keeping?

Which is to say: If you are suggesting that the attack was somehow deserved because all Jews support Israel, you're being antisemitic.

And if you think that the attack shows why the state of Israel is behaving as it is in Gaza, you are being awful.

You've stirred up your share of controversy before, but are you sure you want to do this?

Back in the day there was a freeview channel, I think maybe More4, that was essentially 24-hour Friends reruns. Meanwhile hardly anyone here has ever seen Seinfeld. It's just wrong.

Seriously. If DiBlasio could win as a proud Red Sox fan, then clearly there is no answer that is disqualifying.
