52% of those who voted

In reality, Trump was voted in by around 32% of Americans who are eligible to vote. He's tearing everything apart with a mandate from 23% of the US population.

Democracy, baby!

I have an Italian friend, so tried to learn Italian. I did French at school (30 years ago), so how hard can it be, right?

Real fucking hard.

WHY DO SO MANY THINGS HAVE GENDERS?! WHY IS AN APPLE TREE HE, BUT AN APPLE IS SHE?! (or is it the other way around?)

I'm English, so I guess I'll just carry on the grand tradition of talking louder and using hand gestures.

My gran once gave me a toilet brush. The base had penguins floating in blue liquid, but it was ultimately just a cheap toilet brush.

I gave her a beautiful marble maze.

I didn’t bother after that.

As a fellow school child in the ‘90s, I can confirm that almost anything anyone did was gay. Holding hands with a girl? Gay. Liking video games? Gay.

There are two whole months in which things can go wildly off the rails.

It’s astonishing how long the US election cycle is. There’s longer until the next US election than the entire campaign here in the UK, yet it’s all I’ve heard about for the past three years.

Can you guys not just chill the fuck out?

Speaking as an English man, I don't have a problem with that front page. They're not exactly lying, and it's (mostly) in good humour.

One of the nice touches in The Last Of Us was Ellie finding pads when they were in a shop.
