I puzzled over "bone petite", thinking it was a bilingual slur over his body type, and then said it out loud.

I know it goes against the Founders' objective of establishing a monarchy on the Louis XIV model. They just had no historical precedents to fear the over-concentration of power in a single person's hands.

Typically how it goes: * Someone calls you "American" * Mildly nonplussed because you were being polite, you explain that you're Canadian * They say that "American" means "person from the Americas" * You explain that in the Americas, it means person from the US * They apologize

On Aug. 10, 1914, the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry was formed. It became the first Canadian infantry unit to enter the First World War theatre of operations. Since then, it has earned 39 battle honours. This is the story of its formation. 🧵 1/12

The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia. It's the the first-ever planned migration of an entire country. Read more: www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

But there weren't population transfers in Yugoslavia, sort of my point. But the fact that there are almost no Germans in Kaliningrad or Szczecyn has substantially reduced irredentism in eastern Europe.

It took the forced population transfers of 1945 to make it work in Europe. And the 1922-4 transfers in Greece and Turkey.* * This being social media, my point is not that forced population transfers are good.

They may misunderstand the difference between "rate of price change" and "price", as shown in the attached headline from yesterday.
