@wischlist @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy If they have requested to be called Côte d'Ivoire, yes. If they haven't, then no. Do you understand it now?

@senagles @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy FOX has now pivoted to start calling it Ivory Coast. Does that offend you?

Why for the World Cup are American sports commentators using "Türkiye," "Cote d'Ivoire," and "Czechia" but not "Deutschland," "España," and "Brasil"? Can't we just refer to all the countries by the names that we typically use for them in America?

@shairnn @Khushi741173003 Not wrong. A different answer that works.

@Khushi741173003 Sorry wrong

bunu çözersen, zeka seviyen ortalamanın üstündedir. çözebilir misin?

@Chicago_History You just pick a lane and hope for the best!

@wischlist @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy Ok Davut. That's what we'll call you now since we don't have to respect what people want for themselves. Have we specifically asked to be referred to as USA? That's the issue here - it's what they want to be called. Some countries don't seem to care (ie South Korea).

@senagles @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy Turks call the United States “Amerika Birleşik Devletleri” (often abbreviated as ABD). Is that disrespectful by them? I don’t think so. It’s their language. What wrong with us using ours?

@wischlist @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy Türkiye changed its name in 2022 specifically to align with its indigenous culture. They also wanted to get away from the anglicized name. It was a conscious decision on their part and it is how they have asked to be referred to. Why is this hard?

@senagles @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy Both Turkey and Czech Republic remain commonly accepted names for the country. And almost certainly the most commonly used names for the countries among Americans.

@wischlist @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy Türkiye officially changed their name in 2022 to better represent who they are and their indigenous culture. They also wanted to get away from the anglicized name. It was a conscious choice on their part. Why shouldn't it be used?

@Super70sSports Where are all the women?

What the fans looked like at a major league game in 1975. I’m gonna recommend you zoom in and poke around for a minute or two. Just trust me on this one.

@Kupilainen @mikesully97 @edtechmathteach I posted studies. You ignored them because you clearly have an agenda and no facts will change that. You clearly haven't spent any time as a classroom teacher or you would see that it's much more nuanced than "technology is good," which seems to be your only argument. Bye!

@mikesully97 @senagles @edtechmathteach Can you provide the time period you are talking about?

Wait a sec.... I am a professional. Don't professionals deserve to have a desk? Why and when did teachers having a desk become a hot take??? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@mattlindner @Cubs That girl is being raised right!

First words out of my toddler’s mouth when I got her from her crib this morning were “Dada, you take me to @Cubs game?” So, uh, guess I gotta get tickets for next week.

@Kupilainen @mikesully97 @edtechmathteach Nobody is saying that learning media skills is bad.

@mikesully97 @senagles @edtechmathteach Well it has certainly been a boon for the kids who got a chance to learn and document their learning by doing videos, podcasts and other new media skills while in school. Teachers who have not embraced that have left their kids behind.

@Kupilainen @edtechmathteach It's not moral panic. It's data based on a lot of studies.

@senagles @edtechmathteach I clearly do, you refuse to think how we have seen this moral panic before. First it was fantasy books, then TV, then video games. Its also something that will destroy our childrens attention spans.

@wischlist @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy But Turkey and Czech Republic aren't the normal accepted names anymore. Czechia has been the name for 10 years!

@IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy That was mild hyperbole to emphasize a point. I understand that Fox made an editorial decision, and I find it to be an odd one. Turkey, Czech Republic, and Ivory Coast aren't disrespectful names. They're accepted ones. And the broadcast is for an American audience.

@wischlist @IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy It is that simple. We call them what they want to be called. Why is that hard?

@IowaRallyYak @Wrigley_Ivy It isn't that simple, though. Why as English-speakers, are we apparently not allowed to simply translate the French words "Cote d'Ivoire" into English? And South Korea has asked the UN to refer to it as "Republic of Korea," so why are we using "South Korea" for the World Cup?

@wischlist Or we could refer to all of them by their actual names.

@Super70sSports 100% this! Such a great comic! 🤣

When you’re talking about great comic strip characters, I’m coming to the table with Opus and Bill the Cat.

@OptaSTATS @Phillies It's all that facial hair!

The @Phillies are the only MLB team in the modern era to be down to their last strike with nobody on base in the 9th inning 2 games in a row but win both.

@junkyard_red @CohenJeffr13976 @marceelias Sure. Keep believing that lie. And how hard is it to simply understand and follow the constitution for you?

@senagles @CohenJeffr13976 @marceelias Retired teacher from Illinois... Your pension is probably 40% higher than it would have been without vote fraud. Don't let them pull the teat away!

@DireStraits77 So good!

Goosebumps every time. Best song ever.

@tg_bgolf And there are so many cameras all over the Mall! Why do people continue to believe him?

Trump is now claiming that scuba divers cut the vinyl at the reflecting pool. let’s remind everyone the depths of the pool, 18in on the sides, 30 in at its deepest. Think scuba divers would have been spotted pretty damn easy!
