thinking about the académie française
This is very silly. Does anyone really think the phrase in question "Post Milk Generation" designates low milk (as the Supreme Court has decided)? Rather than people who don't want to drink milk?
Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK
Swedish company claims ruling is ruling is anti-competitive and ‘solely benefits Big Dairy’

gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

hey @salinas.house.gov just wondering: what the fuck are you doing?
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

NP-final adjectives (parenthesized)
this is certainly a point (complimentary)
Has anyone looked at the "nonspecific statement = criticism" linguistic construction? e.g.
"Those were choices they made."
"That's a thing you can wear."
"That was an action he took."
Realizing this one has slipped into the discourse repertoire without much fanfare.

The reckoning must include paying reparations, to citizens and non-citizens alike
ICE stalked an elderly woman who works in homecare for her grandchildren on her way to pay her rent. They stopped her, broke her car window, and roughed her up enough to cause a concussion, bruised ribs, and a torn rotator cuff. Then found her passport in her purse and fled. gofund.me/b7afaa65e

@salinas.house.gov if you can find mitch's bravery in your heart i will give you $25 too
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

ontologically evil newspaper
They're going to get sympathetic treatment. On the cover of the Magazine. It's Been Ten Years Since [TK ATROCITY]. But People Won't Leave This Former ICE Agent In Peace. And you will be the villain of the story.
when all of this gets slightly less heated the NYT is going to be profiling anonymous ICE agents like they’re regretful Trump voters just you watch

it is absolute loser shit
Negotiating over warrants and citizen deportations is incredibly foolish, dangerous and irresponsible.
They are conceding that these things are not *already illegal*, giving away powers to the admin that they do not have as a starting point.
Not to mention, they will just lie and do it anyway!

and you don't even need experts to know this! you can tell from the images taken from the ground, and from the desolation shown by aerial shots, that this is so much worse than the confirmed numbers. you can tell from the drone footage israel periodically releases of its own volition.
Media often appended it with “Hamas-run” as a way to subtly discredit its numbers. Many experts credibly argue those figures are in fact far lower than the real number today.
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!
