Omg. This is like every time I’ve been at a wedding with mostly white people i don’t know, and they always ask me to “show [them] what I’ve got” on the dance floor. Me: 😑

If they had only just thought through this reference attemfor like, I dunno, maybe 10 seconds longer, maybe they would've realized the error of their ways

The further away "Not Like Us" gets from its intended target, the more we all lose

I mean, if they’re that huge I guess you can stretch that out across 2-3 meals. But still—food portions have gotten extreme on both ends!

Boooooo corporate greed!

He will never live that down, I don't give a fuuuuuuuck

Goes both ways, Evan. 😊

No place is perfect, and few pubs are as powerful as NYT. I can understand why some would consider it to be poisoned based on … *everything*, right up to today. (“Have women ruined the workplace?” Looolol fuck all the way off!) Unfortunately, like everything else…it’s still kinda complicated
