@OurOwnNation BS. Clickbait.

Due to the Muslim population, German schools will no longer have musical education.

@TheSaraTalks Rubbish, here is the General praising the French Legion youtube.com/watch?v=gmDwLd…

Not lying!

@wine_018 We read one Shakespeare play each year in High School, one major poet each year in high school along with typical novels. By the time I left high school I had read Macbeth, The Tempest, Hamlet, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, and Twelth Night. Memorised Prufrock for senior

I had a conversation with one of my guys at work. He's 23, a good "kid" and he seems to have a great head on his shoulders. We were talking about required reading when I was in school; Animal Farm, 1984, To Kill a Mocking Bird, etc. He never heard of 1984. No idea about Animal Farm. He did know about "Mocking Bird." The look on my face had to show my disappointment. I said, "Bro, these are important books. So relevant today!" Hours later, he showed me his Amazon receipt. That's a win.

@RichardGrenell @StevenErlanger Ivy school education?

The New York Times’ Chief Diplomatic Correspondent for Europe @StevenErlanger. Yikes.

@ThaEuropeanLad Argentina

Who's your dark horse team to win the world cup?!

@sissenberg @nytimes US education at its finest.

Does the @nytimes know what NATO stands for?

@narendramodi Adding the "indian" microtones is nothing unusual and can be achieved on normal notation

In the midst of election campaigning, had the opportunity to meet Thiru Ramesh Vinayakam Ji and his family in Chennai. Ramesh Ji is a music composer and has devoted his life to popularising Indian music. He gave me a glimpse of his work in making the Gamaka Box Notation System. This is an innovative way to take Indian music to the world! @RameshVinayakam

@BrandonStraka @LadyFaye7 Just like the DOJ under Biden and Obama

Trey Gowdy calls for a reset at DOJ, arguing the attorney general must be independent and guided strictly by facts, not politics. “We have to change our expectations… get the politics out of the department.”

@NationalRoast @WanjiruNjoya National Roast by Buster Hyman. lol

BREAKING: Canadian Government Mandates Land Acknowledgment During Artemis II Mission. "Even at great distance, we must honor the traditional lands we launched from."

@CED_LD_Guy @TheCinesthetic A little too graphic for me. And why all the French heroics after the event. Never stood their ground.

@TheCinesthetic The anthem is one of the greatest ever, it's goosebump material even when not in a great film scene.

The “La Marseillaise” scene in Casablanca (1942) still lands with staggering power. Many extras were actual refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe, which is why it feels so painfully genuine.

@brexitblog_info Civil service adage: "Rise to your level of incompetence"

TV gold. “A failed German defence minister whose soldiers had to use broomsticks for guns. That’s the woman who is now President of the European Commission” Watch an incredulous Andrew Neil on Starmer’s new best mate Ursula von der Leyen.

@DannyDrinksWine Theme: "5 minutes of fire, a lifetime of ashes"

Burt Lancaster on how he got cast in "The Leopard" (1963) after he rejected it the first time: "I bought 11 copies of ‘The Leopard’ because I thought it was a great novel. I gave it to everyone. But when I was asked to play in it, I said, no, that part’s for a real Italian. But, lo, the wheels of fortune turned. They wanted a Russian, but he was too old. They wanted Laurence Olivier, but he was too busy. When I was suggested, Visconti said, ‘Oh, no! A cowboy!’ But I had just finished ‘Judgment at Nuremberg,’ which he saw, and he needed $3 million which 20th Century-Fox would give them if they used an American star, and so the inevitable occurred. And it turned out to be a wonderful marriage. My best work. But you see, nobody told me not to do it. I was the one who said I couldn’t do it.” (Burt Lancaster's interview with Roger Ebert, 1986)

@GoldenAgeUnfold Was it Alice Weidel who said that? Is it official AfD policy? Or is it Clickbait?

@GoldenAgeUnfold If AfD said that, then Germany and Europe is truly lost.

what do you make of this? Germany’s far-right AfD party leader Tino Chrupalla, came out and said it’s time for all 35,000 US troops to pack up and leave the country completely. US military has been based in Germany ever since World War II, first as the occupying force, then as part of the NATO alliance.

@europa Colonisers?

🇿🇦 In a new Black Economic Empowerment draft, the South African National Roads Agency proposes that petrol stations, restaurants and roadside businesses along national roads must meet race-based ownership and hiring targets. The policy would apply even to private businesses on private land, including those with no SANRAL contracts or funding. It gives SANRAL control over who may operate, what requirements they must meet, how businesses are structured, and introduces levies of up to 10% of turnover. Follow: @europa

@flashbak71 @WHLeavitt Simulation and AI

@WHLeavitt Thinking this is AI. The 2nd dude's shirt there changes a couple of times from a tshirt to a jersey back to a tshirt. Also, the 2nd guy's head disappears for a few frames and comes back in. The audio also has that tinny AI sound to it.

A cop rescues a woman from a knife-point rape attempt by taking out the perpetrator. Do you stand with this cop on this? A. Hell yeah B. Nah.

@visegrad24 The country that gave the world, Christian Barnard. What a horrible fall

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

@thewolvenhour The gear mechanism and its accuracy defies logic. How did they do it?

They had analogue computers to calculate movements of planets and stars, 2 millennia ago! The Antikythera mechanism defies the academic consensus about ancient societies. Particularly for the Hellenistic world, we know they came close to an Industrial Revolution!

@OversLife The incomparable Sir Garfield Sobers

Kids: Why are the Indian players showing so much respect to this old man? This “old man” in his prime: 👇

@IfindRetards It's the good ole US of A and american voices leading the way.

Retard says Artemis II is going to the moon for all humanity this time because it's not all white men like Apollo. "Apollo was all white men, and this time it's not"
