– Newsweek, “The Maid’s Tale,” from an interview with Nafissatou Diallo, who described being raped by Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
I wonder how the defense will try to explain this account away. Or the hospital records. Or the 911 call.

The European right is pissing itself right now because its beloved capitalism is flaking away, and even with logic aside, they can’t blame it all on the Socialists. And they have a zillion less-than-ivory-skinned immigrants who made the bullding boom possible (and 90% of those, Muslim or not, give a rat’s ass about ideology) They just...

Lazy me, recycling a comment I wrote on Jezebel. This was on a thread of comments on a post about Americanisms that annoy British English speakers:
I speak two languages: English (spoken by 375 million people as a native language) and Spanish (over 350 million native speakers). I am from New York City and have lived in Madrid for 22 years. I have gotten shit from: Americans who mock my new Yawk...
