fascism
totalitarianism
primitive nationalism
ethnic paranoia
the crap of racial superiority.
Let's never forget what these heroic folk were fighting AGAINST.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

According to New York Times' John Mc Whorter, (difficult to pronounce?) phonetics - or to some - 'difficult' phonetics, is an indicator of an inability to govern or a barrier to taking one seriously.

In Opinion
Early in Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, “it was easy to assume that failure to learn his name reflected a failure to take him seriously,” John McWhorter writes. But “as a matter of pure linguistics, it would be surprising if people didn’t have trouble with the name Mamdani.”

Happy #FossilFriday! Today is my last day at the AMNH before I return to Oxford so in honor of that here’s one of my favorite fossils on display here, a full skeleton of Cotylorhynchus romeri! Cotylorhynchus is a caseid, which were among the earliest large terrestrial herbivores on Earth! 🧪⚒️🦊
