Is "ketch him a yard, ketch him a road" basically "give him an inch..."?

See him at home, see him on the street.

Basically "sure these guys are all tough when they're beating their wives, but they turn into big sissies on the streets" I guess? Not sure if it's supposed to be more anti-domestic violence or anti-gang.

No, Weed is the mad scientist guy who does the weird rants all the time. The coffee guy is Angus, and I think it's just about how much the author loving loves coffee.

The gently caress was the Twitter "brand" before he came along? Who was going "yeah, this is a great platform for productive communication"?

It was just a fun social media platform. But their association with the alt-right neo-nazis harassing people actually prevented twitter from being sold last year. That's why they finally started trying to police it a little bit and kicked Milo Yiannopolous off.

Apparently my father, who's turning 60 this year and wears his hair past his shoulders, usually in a ponytail, occasionally has his peers lecture him about how he needs to cut his hair already because he looks so ridiculous and he's way too old for something like this. Cut your hair and be respectable already! There's some real, honest anger towards anyone who doesn't conform to the masculine ideal exactly, I guess. poo poo's hosed.

My dad told me the other day that when he was a teenager, if your hair touched your ears you would be sent home from school.

Yeah I had to learn cursive in grade school. But I did not have to use it, ever, so I don't remember a bit of it.

The problem with depicting a reverse witch hunt is that it implies that normal witch hunts are good things that we should all enthusiastically engage in.

Although given that it's Branco, he probably does think that McCarthy was a hero who valiantly defended the US from hordes of secret communists.

I thought he himself was popular with citizens, but his party hated him, and people hated his party?

He's popular with the people who vote within his party, not in general. Otherwise Labour would be winning more elections. The other politicians in his party generally hate his guts because they're a bunch of horrible blairites.

That's why they kept having intra-party elections to try and kick Corbyn out but he kept winning.

It's hard to blame Ramirez for that one when it's all over hospitals and medical organizations. It's a much clearer reference for a political cartoon than the single-snaked Rod of Asclepius.

Alternatively, its a reference to a method of paying for healthcare rather than medicine so the caduceus is actually more appropriate!

Japan needs greater representation of its Ainu minority.

There also tend to be a lot of racist depictions of Korean and Chinese people, and general racism towards southeast asian immigrants. Japan is not the monoculture it pretends to be.

But their racism looks different from ours. Saying "look at then besmirching the purity of French literature!" is pretty goddamn ridiculous.

Also that show does sound pretty good.

Sounds like it's a class thing. Even Tory voters don't really care but it keeps ending up on their manifesto because TRADITION.

There are, if anything, too many foxes in England, but rich people chasing them with hounds and shooting them is not an efficient way of controlling the population.
