Not to mention Scooby-Doo, where each episode revealed that the monster was some grown-up authority figure abusing his power.

I hope Sweden’s preparing those Gripens, just in case.

Real men bleed out

Which, given the location and geopolitical situation, makes sense.

The idea that splitting infinitives is wrong comes from an 18th-century fad of treating English grammar as if it were Latin, to demonstrate that one had been educated in Latin and wasn’t just a common peasant. English is a Germanic language and its infinitives are made to be splittable where it helps expression. If you avoid doing so, your sentences will have a noticeable formal stiffness to them, which may ease your acceptance among the 18th-century gentry, though these days will just look awkward and archaic.

In any case, it has little to do with semantics. Actual anti-semantic graffiti would probably be more like Dadaist tone poems or William S. Burroughs’ cut-up technique. Or, these days, AI slop.

So, guaranteed roles for conservative white men then?

They’re now called “Freedom Spots”

This is one of the darker examples of “what’s trashy when poor people do it but classy when rich people do it”. If it’s the poors, cue hillbilly jokes/banjo music. If, however, you’re talking about the upper strata of a steeply hierarchical society trying to preserve dynastic wealth (or imitating the customs of those who did), you’re now in Crusader Kings territory.

I’m guessing they don’t actually have any offices, assets or staff in Sweden.

Signal don’t block users from countries where they are banned, and in fact have options to make bypassing firewalls easier. OTOH, it’s a lot less likely that they might be arrested and extradited to Iran or China while on holiday.

You can instantly get whatever you want, only it’s made from 100% technical debt

Or just a 99% tax on all wealth over, say, 1bn, belonging to any Canadian citizen regardless of residence. The problem will thus solve itself.

They’ll presumably remedy this by giving husbands extra votes on behalf of their wives and children, as in Franco-era Spain.

Wasn’t he the token Italian kid in the TERF wizard school book?

Great! The US will soon have an air traffic control system as modern and efficient as the Las Vegas subway

Do the super-rich have a hard time moving to the US as is? Given how many multimillionaires end up becoming US citizens, I’d have thought that it was doable if expensive, with most of the hassle easily outsourced to highly-paid specialist lawyers.

Obvious plant-based chips

… he thought as he balled testily down the stairs

She ceased to be a British citizen upon her coronation (the monarch is specifically not a citizen), so she wouldn’t have been entitled to one.

If a monarch hypothetically fled or was deposed, they would legally be stateless.

What proportion of their GDP is that?

There must be a lot of soul-searching taking place in Berlin tonight after Germany ended up voting against Israel at the UN.
