@HannaannahE @mehdirhasan My 17 yo is telling me this is some years old, so unlikely. Humans still ahead in rickrolls!
English
@swordsjew Yes, but the actual title means a person. And the lyrics has "korobushka", not "korobochka", a slightly more endearing version I think. Native speaker here.
English
@AlbinatorB korobochka is a little box, a korobeinik is someone who carries little boxes, the song is about both
English
@swordsjew I thought "korobeiniki" meant "vendors who carry their wares around in small display boxes"? Initial verse has him ask to lessen the load on his shoulders by making a purchase.

@TheRealHoarse Restrictive internet policies appeal to people, because the alternative is to talk to your kids, often and at length, about what they are watching and following. This is a lot of work, and some find it hard to believe there's no shortcut.
English
It’s been such a Twittery weekend. I’ve had people proudly defending parents using the literal communications rules of a supermax prison and others suggesting kids should randomly wander the streets after school looking for their parents’ car.
Twitter is just so… Twitter.

@ElijahSchaffer Curious to learn your definition of modest. It's very form fitting, slit is up pretty high, deep neckline - would be inadvisable for a female tourist in a Muslim country, for example. And honestly that hat by itself is enough to turn heads.
English
@findgodtakecare @mattyglesias It might be, but doesn't make it inaccurate. When you exist in a sexist society and get used to being blamed for any undue risk taken by men or children in your life, by middle age that's what you are, and what I am, down to freaking bandaids in my purse.
English
Is it woke or anti-woke to observe that women take fewer risks than men so it would probably be better to demand more more DEI in bank boards and executive teams not less?
Male skew of finance seems bad!

@swordsjew @Juan58729 More importantly, historical inevitability is cold comfort for people victimized by this right now. If anyone can be helped by us not being complacent now, it's worth saying and doing.
English
I find the most difficult part of far right research & writing is not finding out their nefarious plans, but rather convincing people that the nefarious plans they state clearly and often are both real and in progress right now

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles calls for states to "ban transgenderism entirely" in a rant that also attacks gay rights and marriage equality. There are 1.6 million transgender people over the age of 13 living in the United States.

@jowanabueser She's so cool and, for lack of better words, regal. I liked "everything everywhere all at once" a lot, and it worked for me in all ways but one: I could not buy Michelle Yeoh as frumpy in one of her multiverse avatars. Just, no. She's still Michelle Yeoh.
English
That time Michelle Yeoh put the racist James Bond stunt double in his proper place.
English
@natsechobbyist She's in effect running for VP, and there she has a real chance.

@charles_gaba Me 4 days into the war:

@mattyglesias As long as we're joking, as China I would wait until peak anti-Russian sentiment and then go for most or all of Siberia and far east of Russia. Vast territory and resources, very little people, military overextended, everybody hates them.
English
I'm not saying that anyone else should invade Russia from the east or south while their entire army is in Ukraine. I'm just saying that the map looks like this at the moment.
Peter Baker@peterbakernyt
The British estimate that an astonishing 97% of the entire Russian army is in Ukraine now as Moscow seeks to turn the tide of a war that it is losing nearly a year in. @IsabelColes @davidluhnow wsj.com/articles/russi…
English
@AdinOfCrimea @igorsushko This will only shut off ordinary people. Anyone who is anywhere close to power and all their relatives have other citizenships in addition to Russian and will travel as they did before. So max inconvenience for people who can do nothing, zero impact on decision makers.

@ask_aubry "She wore black to appear the vulnerable mourner, but also to disguise the blood stains. He wouldn't be the first man she'd maimed with a hat pin, just the latest. And even though vigilanteism was her calling, she still wished just ONCE she could ride the damn train in peace."
English
@astro_alexandra At conferences, people I know would always ask "who's looking after the kids ". Most of them also knew my then husband; I asked if they ever ask him that, got incomprehending stares in response, "just making small talk".
English
@ women in stem, whats the most sexist thing anyone has ever said to you at work?
English
Have you ever noticed that the save icon is a floppy disk, even though they became obsolete twenty years ago?
That's called a "skeuomorph" - when something new takes on the appearance of what it replaced.
And once you start to look, they're everywhere...

@goldnecklace2 @bessbell It is likely safer by a sizeable measure to keep you awake. Full anesthesia is quite risky by itself, no need to layer that onto another procedure without good reason. Besides, you could hold the baby right away.
English
My son turns one tomorrow so it’s a year since I survived this ordeal and what I’ll say to you now is if you think pregnant people in this country aren’t completely fucked then you are a 100% silly goose. besskalb.substack.com/p/forced-birth…

@cmcfamily @_JRobison @helensclegel @MattWalshBlog He never indicated that what women want factors in any way into his consideration.
English
@_JRobison @helensclegel @MattWalshBlog THIS tweet is well stated. First, Matt shouldn’t speak for all men. Second, Matt shouldn’t assume that all women want is to make a man happy.
English
All a man wants is to come home from a long day at work to a grateful wife and children who are glad to see him, and dinner cooking on the stove. This is literally all it takes to make a man happy. We are simple. Give us this and you will have given us nearly everything we need.
English
@juliewrites This is a sentiment that somehow makes women responsible for everything, and then makes it their fault that the world is not fixed. Don't do this. Men have agency, and should use it responsibly. If they don't, it's on them.
English
@TheRickWilson I keep getting mail from my HOA to join it. I will not; I'd rather suspect that some of my neighbors are insane and/or racist than know for sure
