Correction, Belle's dad in Beauty and the Beast talked like that

This is not in any way how witnesses report what they've seen. Why do they talk this way?

I assume they showed him a pizza as a pie graph at some point in time, and this is how his demented brain is processing that information

Why does the one always look catatonic, and the other looks like the server presented him a pizza cut into squares?

Seeing a lot of ads for Walk a Mile in her Shoes events around town. I find it amusing that the female experience apparently just means doing the same thing men do, but with additional inconvenience and discomfort. Honestly, fair.

Now, obviously they are, yes. But in general thinking, extending back more than just 2 years, I did not think Congress was this useless, let alone actively dangerous. Perhaps I was naive the whole time. But yes, they're now either a fascist themselves, or mostly unbothered by it .

Gotta make sure we know what they're capable of. I did not think the descent into fascism would be so obvious and so stupid, nor that it would be largely ignored by Congress.

Y'all, this is getting more and more dangerous every day. The rhetoric from Trump, Rubio, Vance, and Hegseth is very rapidly coalescing around real violence directed at Americans and other human beings in this country. This is the dehumanization stage.

The headline is misleading. The effect is really just in young girls (ninth grade), and it's mostly them not identifying as bisexual at the same rate as in the past.

How much sleep does he usually get between god waking him up to tell him he's Moses and what I can only assume are terrifying nightmares built around the memories of what he did the day before?

I'm sure nothing bad will come from the president openly identifying enemies. I'm sure his definition of 'enemy' won't change on a whim. He's definitely not trying to see exactly how obsequious the GOP will be when he demands they do and say asinine things jfc

I'm hopeful that with him, people will begin to see that our current federal gov't does not serve us and that things can be better. Gov't can do things we actually like. He is setting an amazing example, and I hope US-born people with similar vision run for the top office.

I am looking forward to the Republican 2028 launches. They will all dive to the bottom of our societal ills, get out a shovel, and dig deeper; rejecting reason and humanity all the way Then they'll spend the rest of their non-presidential life living with the consequences of openly being a fascist.

Linguists were able to document the birth and growth of a language in Nicaraguan Sign Language. Looks like we might get a chance to document the birth and growth of Newspeak. War is peace.

Let's keep using 'rapers'. People don't seem to mind rapists.
Language is fun!

You can attach -er to a verb to create a label for one who has done or continuously does something. Example: There are at least 7 rapers on that campus who raped women.

You can attach -er to a noun to assign affiliation to the noun, like 'New Yorker', or "2 years ago, the 7 rapers went unpunished for their rapes"

You can attach -ist to a noun to tie someone's identity to their chosen pursuits in life. Example: these 7 rapists need to go to jail to stop them from continuing to rape, as they are rapists.
