Not just sophomoric, as the article points out. Plain old bigoted.

"It's one thing to mispronounce someone's name on the first try, right? But to do it repeatedly and deliberately, it feels purposeful. It's certainly done to make a point. It is othering, a way of saying you don't belong here," said Jean Sinzdak, the associate director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

"I would describe it as a racist and sexist attack on her because she's been the vice president for three and a half years," Sinzdak said. "It's not hard to say her name. It's not complicated."

I don't know, but be sure and let us all know when you call Russia and make this deal so we can definitely congratulate you and not in any way contact the authorities for you violating sanctions.

She has a doctorate in clinical psychology from UVA apparently. So she knows this is all bullshit culture war nonsense and is just clawing her way to the top.

Hey, my house hasn't burnt down this summer yet.

We're out $3000 because a huge storm knocked down our huge oak trees, but...

Someone made up a rumor that Vance wrote about fucking a couch in his memoir and it took off as a thing and now people are repeating it as if it's true and I'm fine with that for once.

 

Trump thinks mispronouncing Kamala Harris' name is a good attack route.

Do you know what the negative impact of not giving trans kids gender-affirming care is?

Suicide.

My instinct always told me that body is a complex machinery and it comes with two unwritten instructions: Do not screw with it, and maintain properly

So I assume you will never get a stent or a pacemaker or a joint replacement or a pin in a broken bone or even a blood transfusion.

Come to think of it, even glasses is screwing with your body's normal standard of vision.

Do you wear clothes? Why are you screwing with your body's temperature regulation abilities?

Also, during the trial, she heavily implied, but did not outright say, that she did not consent.

They've been asked to name such a candidate and admitted they can't. And also that they didn't canvass for anyone. So basically they want an imaginary person to magically pop into our reality and be the nominee. But not Kamala Harris.

And yet cows are supposed to be sacred to Hindus?

 

First it starts with a comedy video which turns into this weird creepy thing about kids running through the Paris sewers, encountering an alligator, then getting rowed out and into the Seine by a ghost and it cuts to reality and all the nations are going down the river on boats past a bunch of water jets because they're not doing this in a stadium.

This looks awful and ridiculous. Compare this to the spectacle of London 2012.

Now they're doing some weird old Hollywood movie musical style musical number with Lady Gaga and she's on a staircase, which is... somewhere in Paris?

I am so fucking confused.

Edit: They just cut to Macron and he looks as confused as I am.

I wonder who judges what the best mermaid documentary is? Like is there an annual Best Mermaid Documentary award at Cannes or something?
