In all honesty, I don’t go there, as they’re an extension of the subreddit. Pointing out the failures in, say, Discovery makes me a bigot.

In all honesty, I don’t make use of federation (and I’m aware of the irony in this specific case). I like this little corner of the internet. While .world would provide wider exposure, I’m about 25 years past going for the widest possible audience when it comes to things other than news.

This is the work of the alcohol lobby. This shit’s happening in Texas as well as at the federal level. They want us beating our wives instead of having a relaxing evening.

If you still think Meta is providing a service, there are likely mental crisis lines locally. I don’t understand why anyone uses any of their platforms.

That misses the whole part of the article.

I can launch into a tirade using Southern English, but I choose not to. Nana was English (you’ll note that I sometimes don’t lump it into the UK), so when I was up in Seattle visiting, I heard “aluminium” a lot.

“Here’s,” as my college roommate would say, “this about that.” It’s inconsistent with other elements on the periodic table, sure. We don’t speak of “sodum” or any such nonsense. Caesesum would be a terrible idea to throw into a lake.

It’s just customary. We don’t have the same size pints, either, but no one’s up in arms.

Chocolate and peanut butter.

I’m relatively certain David Warner played Adronicus at some point.

You have not truly experienced Shakespeare until you’ve heard it in the original Klingon.

Shhh … someone will no doubt take that to mean manscaping and bring it full circle.

Clearly, you’re talking about Applebee’s.

Fascists hate facts. Simple as that.

This is an objectively terrible take. Cinemax is fine, but Sesame Street is where the rubber meets the road?

When I was growing up in the '80s, some considered it scandalous that they had a Black character whom everyone got along with. This is just the latest boogeyman.

Show me the data that 3-year-olds are being turned trans by Sesame Street, and we have a starting point, instead of pointless, naked bigotry. The literal core of the show is teaching tolerance, acceptance and friendship. If you find this offensive, the problem is you, not CPB.

Now that corporate media are kowtowing, gotta get rid of those pesky public broadcasters. It’s absurd to think of any other country where this shit would fly. Killing, say, the BBC would not go over well.

Somewhat pointless without all cables supporting those features, though.

And if some of the forest burns, two birds, one stone.

CPAC: Where you go if you want to spew vitriol.

Of course the whole thing was a sham. But it is important to see what’s happening now in the states through that lens.

None of my classmates had anything good to say in Germany about … well, anything from that era. In fact, anyone who did was ostracized.

I fear this is where we’re headed.

Let’s not pretend Tusk did much for the average Pole. This is merely another example of leaders talking about the importance of democracy while things go to shit at the ground level.

I have another example, but it trumps this.

Let’s not forget the NSDAP. This is scarcely news.

It is an indictment of our educational system that, at 45, I was unaware the UK had a civil war. I obviously knew about Cromwell, and of course we have the fifth of November, but this is the first I’m hearing of this.
