He said this at the time, as did many, and it remains a bald-faced lie. Not a matter of opinion. It's just completely untrue as an objective factual matter. Civil marriage laws don't work like that and never have. Just like the legality of divorce and remarriage doesn't affect the Catholic Church.

baru cormorant is funny because she is nineteen years old and in charge of the world and has revealed to everyone around her they have promoted a sociopath willing to do anything for power and instead of locking in she just keeps walking in circles going "its fine i dont get pussy" over and over.

Me, doing my best impression of an American studies expert: "so you see, flying airplanes into skyscrapers and killing thousands of people is very insulting in American culture. And when the American Native feels his honor has been impinged upon, his mind turns to something called 'revenge'"...
Wall Street Journal Opinion Piece:

Revenge Is a Central Pillar of Iranian Foreign Policy
A diplomatic agreement can’t bring real peace with a regime that has a long history of terrorism.

RHG and his ilk's response will be to do some racecraft, insisting that these are Berbers and thus not really racially Black (while ignoring the ample evidence for dark-skinned Romans) and/or to just botch the chronology and claim that this was part of Roman decline.

One major reason that Microsoft was using a definition of intelligence borrowed from white supremacist Linda Gottfredson a couple of years back in their AI documentation is that scientific racists are pretty much the only ones out there pretending that intelligence is well defined and understood

Russia has bombed a school basically every single day this week, so for those people who say "if this was happening in Ukraine, it would be on the front pages every day", how many times have you seen that on the front page of even one of your national newspapers this week? Zero.

I feel the need to note that the Romans don't really present 'power' (potentia, vis) as their chief virtue. Instead, the Romans were "always harping on fides ['faith, trust']" (Dioc. Sic. 23.1); Cicero gives the virtue where Rome surpasses others as pietas (piety, Cic. Har. resp. 9.19).

I do sort of get why a lot of education PhDs go a little insane because one thing that working in a high need school will make extremely clear to you is that school is a permeable part of society and new way of teaching fractions won’t fix a kid not having a bed to sleep on.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
