  • Didnโ€™t the KKK get their aesthetic sensibility from various medieval/early-modern religious paramilitary organisations like the Spanish Inquisition and the Holy Vehm?

  • The rich will have actual human teachers, but the poor will be trained by AI. The result will be language diverging into two Eloi/Morlock-style subpopulations.

    Though given that people acquire language from their peers, and invent what they need, Poorish will have a bland, almost mechanical formal register, and a lot of incomprehensible-to-outsiders slang about actual life stuff.

  • Looks like someone emptied a bag of cats

  • Alas, Andrew is on his way back to a Mel Gibson-style rehabilitation. (If anything, the token ostracism he experienced, solely for the benefit of the cameras, was far less that Prince Harry did for marrying an American of the wrong colour.) Meanwhile, other rapists not only walk free but thrive.

    The unpleasant realisation is that Giuffre served her purpose as a warning to other victims to stay silent.

  • And โ€œfuckโ€ has been used as slang for sexual intercourse since at least the 15th century. (Before that, it meant something like โ€œto strikeโ€.)

  • Apparently the lights in the letters L, M and A in the Islamabad Airport sign once went out, treating new arrivals to the news that it IS A BAD AIRPORT.

  • Youโ€™d expect the neocons to be bringing this story up to build a myth of Judaeochristian settler brotherhood between ANZAC-era Australia and Nakba-era Israel.

  • If Putler had any sense, heโ€™d spend a fraction of his military budget on making nicotine patches available for free to his orcs. That would pay for itself in no time.

  • Such a huddle of penguins is called a pengle

  • Theyโ€™ve got gigs scheduled in the Schengen Zone. Which is bold, given that Germany has a policy of blacklisting people from the area for the kinds of statements theyโ€™ve publicly made.

  • The great cycle of life

  • Thereโ€™s a Klaus Barbie joke to be made somewhere there.

  • Also, he had, by all accounts, a crush on a noblewoman named Beatrice, whom he made into the embodiment of beauty and goodness in his books.

  • Have you checked recent polling? The Stop The Steal scandal has saturated the press and the bottom has fallen out of Liberal polling. If US hedge-fund owned media can keep it going for the next week and a bit, PP is likely to run away with it.

  • As Churchill said, โ€œI love Germany so much I want to have six of them foreverโ€

  • Possibly not, but it may take you longer to return to the nitrogen cycle

  • Is it legal to not be a Muslim in Saudi Arabia? I thought it was a crime unless one had special dispensation (typically granted to foreign advisors and such).

  • The real-world equivalent of a typical fediverse account
