@MarioNawfal She looks like a K Drama cutie. He looks like a drunk monkey.

A Korean fan was filming herself at the World Cup when a group of Mexico supporters behind her started pulling their eyes into a slant and laughing at her. Social media tracked the main guy down. He's reportedly the president of Jalisco's college of surveyors….

This is the kind of thing that haunts families, and it haunts me and my deputies.  All because a prosecutor won't prosecute a crime. A man cosplaying as a woman sexually assaults a young lady as part of a sport.  It's on tape. That's what happened.  We recommended charges.  The Pierce County prosecutor declined to charge and says the fact that it was a man doesn't have any bearing on the assault. It's right there. On video.  They don't want you to believe your own eyes.  It's gaslighting.  It's awful. To everyone on here.  Flood the internet with this story.  They're not listening and it's time we got loud.

@japan_nobunaga “I had been defeated by a courtesy.” I’m not sure when or how, but I’m going to use that. With permission of course.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@JohnCleese @cdrsalamander I thought it was those pesky beheadings. Turns out it’s Elon.

I find it hard to understand why people who point out divisiveness that is already there, are considered more trouble than the people who created divisiveness in the first place

Sun Anus and Live Evil are the only palindromes I can think of where the spelling is symmetrical but also the concepts are opposites as well, in some sense. Can you think of any others? I also think they deserve their own classification. Like a pataphor is an extended metaphor, maybe an extended palindrome can be a ‘patapalindrome.’ Maybe Madam I’m Adam works too? Kind of.

@KylePorterNS Loose for lose.

What word or phrase irks you the most when it is misused or misapplied?

@CapatanEl4662 Wisconsin, USA. Great grandparents were part of the diaspora. From County Cork.

Went to bed lastnight with 2k followers and woke up with 27,000 new patriots. Grateful would be an Understatement!. THANK YOU 🙏 Where you all from? 🇮🇪

@Darnell1283 @WNBA @WashMystics Repost!! 😠🔥👀

@Noirchick1 The Lion in Winter, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?

What single classic film would you recommend to someone who never watched older movies?

The CA Legislature tried to strike these words from the state constitution in 2020 (put there by Prop 209 in 1996). The voters smacked them down when 57.23% said NO—despite the YES campaign outspending the NO team by more than 14 to 1. Now they’re trying again—calling it a “clarification” instead of an effort to gut the provision’s application to public education. Don’t believe them. If approved by the voters, this would be a major change. The aim is to pave the way for the recommendations of California’s Task Force on Reparations. The Task Force wants to make college free to African Americans no matter how well off their parents are and to get school districts to fund individual schools based on the race of the students who attend. @christopherrufo

@FriarMario Thank you Father. I’ll pray for you at Mass today.

On the 3rd stop of St. Anthony’s visit to Toronto, I'll pray for you, your personal intentions, & for world peace before St. Anthony’s relics. I'll remember you again this morning at 10:00 AM during the Holy Mass I'll celebrate at St Bonaventure Parish in Toronto, ON. Blessings🤗

저는 한국인입니다. 지금 우리나라에서 벌어지고 있는 일을 많은 분들이 알고 계시리라 생각합니다. 정치 성향을 떠나 제가 지금 할 수 있는 가장 큰 일은 이 글을 써서 사실을 전하는 것이라고 생각합니다. 불편하신 분들은 언제든 블언블, 언팔, 차단 해주셔도 좋습니다. 현재 대한민국에서는 국민의 주권이 침해되는 심각한 일이 발생했습니다. 투표를 제대로 하지 못하게 된 것은 국민의 참정권을 침해하는 일이며 이는 국민주권 자체를 훼손하는 일입니다. 대한민국 헌법 주요 조항 제1조 대한민국은 민주공화국이다. 모든 권력은 국민으로부터 나오며, 주권은 국민에게 있다. 제13조 ② 모든 국민은 소급입법에 의하여 참정권의 제한을 받거나 재산권을 박탈당하지 아니한다. 제24조 모든 국민은 법률이 정하는 바에 의하여 선거권을 가진다. 헌법은 선거의 기본원칙으로 보통·평등·직접·비밀선거를 명시하고 있으며(제41조, 제67조 등), 제116조에서는 선거관리위원회의 관리하에 균등한 기회가 보장되어야 한다고 규정하고 있습니다. 참정권은 국민주권을 실제로 실현하는 가장 중요한 권리입니다. 그 권리가 제대로 지켜지지 않는다면 대한민국은 더 이상 국민의 나라가 아닙니다. 저는 우리나라를 정말 사랑합니다. 그래서 잘못된 것은 바로잡아야 한다고 생각했습니다. 현장에서 목소리를 내주시는 모든 분들께 깊이 감사드리며 작은 영향력이지만 조금이라도 더 멀리 퍼져서 도움이 되길 바랍니다. 외국인 친구들아 이 글이 보인다면 한 번만 공유해 주실 수 있을까? 한국이 진정한 민주공화국으로 남을 수 있도록 도와줘

@Vitus_osst Did he say one wrong word? I didn’t hear it.

Likely, this was the video that got The Chief exorcist of Washington Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, to be fired. Sad Just listen. And retweet

@Defensofidei Holy, Holy, Holy. “Early in the Morning our Song shall rise to Thee.” Beautiful entrance hymn.

Catholics, what is your favorite song or hymn? We'd love for you to share it with us!

@Hot_Pepper76 Did you leave out Lola?

All Day and All of the Night. You Really Got Me. Sunny Afternoon. Come Dancing. Every one of those songs was written by the same person. Can you name the band?

What is the protocol and training for law enforcement in the UK if they arrive at a scene and one man who is standing and healthy says “this man said something racist and hit me” and the other man is curled up on the ground, incapacitated and says “I can’t breathe, I’ve been stabbed.” Two men. One is on the ground unable to move, clearly the weaker and less threatening party to the incident. Why would police immediately handcuff the man on the ground. No interview or discussion with him. No examination. No assistance or aid rendered. No investigation, just automatically handcuff one man, the obviously weaker and incapacitated one; and leave the other man standing without handcuffs? What procedure leads to this. The man on the ground didn’t threaten anyone, he was barely able to speak. He said he’d been stabbed. But police automatically believed the stronger party, the one standing over him. Why? What training and doctrine tells them to arrive at a scene and automatically believe one man, among two, who claimed to have been in an altercation? And why would they handcuff a person who can barely move and already be reading him his rights without ANY investigation or interviewing both parties. The dying man on the ground wasn’t armed or dangerous or doing anything. Why would he immediately be placed in handcuffs. What’s the procedure that leads to that. Anyone in the UK or visiting the UK should want to know. If one is a victim of assault or a stabbing how does one not get handcuffed for being the victim? What could the victim have done or said so that police wouldn’t immediately handcuff him and accuse him and basically judge him guilty without interviewing both parties to the altercation they believed had taken place? Is there anything that the victim could have done to get police to render assistance? He said he had been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. Two officers (at least two) dismissed this and automatically judged him guilty and were inclined not to believe him. What training tells an officer that they shouldn’t believe a wounded person who is curled up on the ground saying he has been stabbed…and instead believe the stronger man standing over him? What is the protocol and training that leads to this? It should be investigated and the entire training changed so police are trained to render aid and assist and not automatically believe the perpetrator of a crime and dismiss the victim This isn’t “he said-he said” or “both sides”…they never interviewed the dying person, Henry Nowak; they just put him in handcuffs. Why? Everyone should be shocked by this case and demand more answers We need to know why the officers did this. Anyone walking the streets of the UK should want to know.
