There are those who think that insisting on the 5-7-5 syllable rule in English haikus is to misunderstand the rules of Japanese language and poetry. Me, I like the discipline. The puzzle of 5-7-5 ties up the conscious mind and frees the subconscious.

Willa is 16/17 and no longer has any use for the diminutive playhouse and slide. It was Bob's job to clear these toys away years ago. He hasn't done that, not only because he's a lazy-ass stoner, but also because he wants Willa's mother to see them once before he does so.

Bill's dad, Donald Barr, was a perv. Check out his sci-fi book about raping and sexual slavery of underage victims.
I believe Donald Barr is a crucial part of Epstein's origin story. And Bill was taxed with helping cover up, only able to finally escape after J6

I’m struck by the similarities between the brutal police raid in Brazil and the ICE raids in America today. The dress, the arrogance, the viciousness — they’re are all there. JFC.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

When Harry Met Sally poses the question "Can a man and a woman truly engage in a Platonic friendship, without the intrusion of romance?" The film for this age would ask the question "Can a bigender and a demigender ever be fnovers?"

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.
