How many decades of study does it take to come to the conclusion that ‘Israel was right to detonate pager-bombs’ and not deserve shit for it?

That is to say not every greybeard academic is immune to shit takes.

Inner Mongolia is technically part of China, not the independent nation of Mongolia.

I think they’re talking about the s in older documents being written differently, such that if you weren’t familiar, you might confuse it with an f. But only the first s in such cases that there were more than one.

<3. I love you all the more for your dedicated introspection and understanding.

Things may have been easier on the gender front were you cis, but that just means that other things would fill that void - especially considering your empathy in these times of global strife.

I shower regularly, so I guess I can’t vote Mamdani.

Cool? Facts being in your favor is a very cold comfort - they haven’t much mattered for this admin’s overreach so far.

How ‘unclean’ are you willing to tolerate?

I’m not convinced that folks actually believed that she was against it per se. Maybe they said it errantly in passion or out of bad faith, IDK.
