 Pope:  Rowe:  Australia, US and UK confirm Japan could be brought into AUKUS fold on eve of Kishida's Washington visit (ABC). Before AUKUS and before France we were originally going to buy submarines from Japan so it is all coming round again. Knight:  Golding:  Spooner:  I'm guessing Australian renewable sector recorded ‘alarming’ slowdown in 2023, energy body finds (Guardian) but that was a month ago so it could just be Spooner.

I was going to say that Ishida was taking the “terf to Nazi pipeline” a touch too literally, but Rowling is denying the Nazis burning the Sexology institute in the 30s sooooo maybe not.

Look we can't know they burned gender research because all those books were burned so who knows what was in them, maybe they were cookbooks and there was nothing transphobic about the whole thing (actual TERF argument about this)

"Er, uh, them went to the grocery store" c'mon you can try a little harder, I know you can do it. Singular "they" has been kicking around in English since the 14th century. It's a completely affected inability to use it properly. I have yet to find someone who doesn't use it correctly in casual conversation all the time, especially possessives and reflexives. People like to make a big show, but if you just wait until they're discussing an unidentified stranger, they use it effortlessly. Unless they actually have a full grammaticality judgement failure every time they hear "themself" (note the overt singular!), they're just being an rear end in a top hat. For reference, that should be about as bad as "who do you wonder whether if that that John kissed?". People have precisely zero self-awareness of how they talk unless they've had it formally taught to them and they've had a bunch of practice. Usually their self-assessments are laughably, hilariously wrong. Yes, that applies to you reading this too.

No - there had been a campaign since before the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to support Jewish people buying land and moving to Israel; much of the land bought was from Ottoman landlord living well away from then-Palestine and so there’s certainly an argument to be made that the Jewish settlers spent thirty years bringing in people from outside of Palestine and displacing Palestinians who had absolutely no say in the matter. Very few of the Jewish people in the new state of Israel in 1948 had lived there their entire lives. Specifically, from https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2979/israelstudies.23.3.14#:~:text=The%20state%20of%20Israel%20was,Jewish%20people%20in%20the%20world. - only 35% of Israelis in 1948 are estimated to have been native born. skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Apr 10, 2024 |

Less competitive Scrabble sounds like how my mom would play Scrabble with me when i was six and we just didn't keep score, and I actually didn't realise for years that wasn't how most people played. Skelley clearly thinks this was a bad thing. I would kick his rear end at Scrabble.

This unassuming article makes it sound like there have to be quite a few funny stories since those involved have the right mix of low-level mania and elite focus.  quote:In the latter category, a top expert named Josh Sokol mentioned that Anderson had missed a crazy play: HIGHVELD. Anderson was competing in a division that uses the international English word list, which is based on the British dictionary Collins. With 281,698 acceptable words from two to 15 letters long, the Collins list is more expansive than the North American list under which I was competing, which contains 192,111 words. Among the many differences: a bunch of words from Afrikaans, like highveld, which the Dictionary of South African English defines as “the inland plateau of southern Africa.”

Very few of the Jewish people in the new state of Israel in 1948 had lived there their entire lives. Rall's analogy would only work if the "home invader" was a previous owner (or a descendant of a previous owner) of the house who had been unlawfully forced out of possession and later came back to claim what he thought was rightfully his. Now if the cartoon was about the relationship between the original inhabitants of the Americas, Australia, and South Africa and the settlers from Europe, it would be more accurate.
