An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

« Car la véritable menace qui pèse sur nous n’est pas la présence de femmes voilées dans les écoles, mais l’appauvrissement démocratique qui survient lorsqu’une majorité s’autorise à décider qui mérite d’appartenir à la communauté politique. »

Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.
Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

The Vietnamese word for a ladybird, bọ rùa, means “turtle bug.” The Ukrainian word, сонечко (sonechko), means “little sun.” And the Norwegian word, marihøne, means “Mary’s chicken.” But my favourite word for a ladybird will always be the Welsh buwch goch gota, which I’d translate as “stubby red cow”

I know is there is a lot of love for Ovechkin but do we really need the long close-ups of his face while he is sitting on the bench and industriously rolling a series of loogies along his tongue, displaying each on the tip, then expectorating them onto the ice…?
