a “couple” means two, a “few” means three, and “several” means four but no more than nine. “many” means more than a third but fewer than half and “most” means more than three-fourths. i am so glad this is not controversial and we could easily reach a consensus on this.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.
Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

If I don’t use a certain app it doesn’t mean I’m engaging in purity politics. For me - and this, again isn’t a political statement - I find this one easier to navigate. It’s not that deep. Sometimes people want to say what’s on their mind without being deluged by flying horseshit.
“Leaving X because you don’t like Elon is the kind of purity politics that landed Democrats in this mess to begin with.”
Democrats Face an Existential Crisis on X
Conversations with a dozen insiders point to a party that is unsure about whether to leave or engage with the increasingly MAGA platform.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

Possibly the greatest saga in social media history.
If you have never seen this story before, grab a cuppa, put your feet up, and prepare to giggle like a loon.
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

As I told Wolf Blitzer here:
If you were seeking to destroy the country, the Gabbard, Gaetz, and RFK Jr. picks were exactly the ones you’d make. And that’s not surprising. Because Trump is a malignant narcissist, and malignant narcissists, subconsciously or consciously, *do* seek to destroy.
