@DrugGovoruna @SketchesbyBoze I always want pulchritude to mean stinkiness most foul.

Abnegation = denial esp. to oneself. Anathema = excommunication. In 1054, the Pope and the Patriarch of Constantinople pronounced anathemas against each other. Antediluvian = from before the Biblical flood, very old. Apocryphal = not confirmed, alleged, from the Biblical apocrypha. The story about Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee in the men's room of the House of Commons is apocryphal. Bourgeois = in Marxist theory, relating to the exploiter class under capitalism; outside it, middle-class. Capricious = picky. Circumlocution = not naming something directly, e.g. "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" for Voldemort in the Harry Potter universe. Deleterious = harmful. Achondroplasia is caused by a deleterious mutation. Effulgent = don't know. Impecunious = not interested in money. Legerdemain = sleight-of-hand. Malediction = the opposite of benediction, cursing. Ostensible = seeming. Pellucid = don't know. Pulchritude = beauty. I learned it from Against a Dark Background by Iain M. Banks, which I read in 1995. Surreptitious = hidden, concealed. Timorous = fearful. Vociferous = vocal in insisting. Zephyr = a kind of wind, don't remember which.

How many of these standard SAT vocabulary words do you know? Abnegation Anathema Antediluvian Apocryphal Bourgeois Capricious Circumlocution Deleterious Effulgent Impecunious Legerdemain Malediction Ostensible Pellucid Pulchritude Surreptitious Timorous Vociferous Zephyr

@1realFormula I’m buying all the tampons and giving them out for free to all the women.

You get $75M and 30 minutes to spend it… No cars, no houses, no stocks. What are you panic-buying?

@JohnAlway @FFRoyallty @thetomcelica @ksorbs Queen’s English? You’re from Missouri. Please.

@MaryGElliott @FFRoyallty @thetomcelica @ksorbs I might be grammatically correct, but it's not the Queen's English, is it. So a better question, how do you leftists maintain a leftist ideology in the face of all of your contradictions?

This woman with a "kindness" shirt is the epitome of leftism.

@blvkstvh @Trevornoah *sexually assaulted OR harassed

@Trevornoah Do we say “Lock your doors”because everybody’s thief? Or is it because thief’s exist. And saying every woman you know has been sexually assaulted is a lie 😂. Or

It’s not about the bear. It’s about why that feels safer.

@Mercurial101101 @JoJoFromJerz @WhiteHouse How does someone get high on SSRIs? That doesn’t even make sense.

@JoJoFromJerz @WhiteHouse The metaphor is that he holds all the cards….how fucking high on SSRIs are you at the current moment?

@JohnAlway @FFRoyallty @thetomcelica @ksorbs It’s grammatically correct.

@MaryGElliott @FFRoyallty @thetomcelica @ksorbs That's some poor English.

@ick_real Deep dive.

An overused word or phrase that needs to be retired in 2026

@JohnAlway @FFRoyallty @thetomcelica @ksorbs How do y’all’s brains function like this? Is it hard work?

@FFRoyallty @thetomcelica @ksorbs I remember them being given a tour between the red velvet ropes, and I remember the FBI guy out there pushing for it, and I remember Pelosi reversing the National Guard before hand. And I remember Trump endorsing peaceful protests the the BBC edited out and got caught for.

@BiggestRonald @Lifeinvestmoney There are one year PhD programs?

@Lifeinvestmoney Education... Get a Master's or do a 1 yeah PhD program and become a gym teacher or school counselor or principal/vice principal.

Need a job where I can make six figures but I have no skills and I’m not very smart What field is this?

@SundaeDivine Motherfucking piece of shit granola bar.

Your Kentucky Derby horse name is: Your favorite word to describe Donald Trump + the last thing you ate.

@dieworkwear People who write like this are so mad right now lol

Why do people write tweets like this? Where every sentence gets a new line. Sometimes a line might have two sentences. Like this one. But generally speaking, every sentence has a new line, making a tweet look like a long block of text that no one reads. Worse still, such tweets are often repetitive and winding, hammering on the same point over and over again. The writing is often very bad.

@SomeSymbiont I have terrible news for you: ENGL 101 students do not know what free verse is.

People used to condense knowledge into paragraphs, and write books or articles. Poetry—with our without rhyme—has always existed, mind you. Free verse poetry is no stranger to any English 101 student. The greatest measure of intelligence is the ability to state something simply, and correctly. Arguably, poetically. We live in the age of intellectual compression, and it makes us light enough to operate coherently amongst the stars. If you have learned to condense an idea that could be a paragraph into a sentence, you break it up so people can absorb it. The physical separation means it's a pause, and this is how short form online discourse has worked for all 30 years I've been online—from chat rooms to forums, and social media. Welcome to the free verse club.

@DeHumanitas @dieworkwear @Libuse_Carodej This is not necessarily true.

@dieworkwear @Libuse_Carodej Writers find writing easy. Lovecraft wrote some 100,000 letters of correspondence over <20 years

@Libuse_Carodej since you joined twitter on dec 2022, you've tweeted 195,700 times. assuming you sleep 8 hours a day, that's about 162 times per day. or roughly a new tweet every four mins, every day, for the last four years. how do you have time to be a writer?

@rystm @MetamateDaz Taxing people appropriately is not punishing them.

@MetamateDaz She’s already given away $26 billion and plans to keep doing it for the rest of her life. But sure, let’s punish her for being rich. Brilliant strategy: reduce her net worth so there’s less money available to donate. That’ll definitely help. You're a fucking retard.

MacKenzie Scott divorced Jeff Bezos and got $36 billion in the divorce. She has donated $26 billion to charity since then. She’s now worth $42 billion, six billion MORE than when she started TAX THE BILLIONAIRES. THEY’LL BE FINE.

@objectextinct @magi_jay The ACA still very much exists.

@magi_jay If this is your read on Obama's presidency then you've been propagandized. Obamacare sucked, it was a forced mandate to private insurers and his climate change legislation was worthless. There wasn't a problem with racism until Omaba's SPLC started paying for it either.

It did feel awesome. With cause. We got healthcare. LGBTQ people could get married. Racial justice advanced. Climate change was being addressed. We almost had a 6-3 liberal Supreme Court. And then people decided to burn it all down because it wasn't exciting enough.

@JeffEStein @KhandaniM @NC_Renic @Khuze_Elikhulu Why are you so mad?

@MaryGElliott @KhandaniM @NC_Renic @Khuze_Elikhulu Delusional old fuck

AI cheating has gotten so bad that I now feel genuine affection for horrifically bad essays clearly written by the student

@KhandaniM @NC_Renic @Khuze_Elikhulu English profs and literate people will always know. It’s incredibly obvious.

@NC_Renic @Khuze_Elikhulu U can still tell Ai to write an essay badly, soon no one will be able to differentiate between Ai and Human writing

@simonesaysx @NC_Renic Yeah, but it’s still obvious AI slop.

@NC_Renic there are tool out there that can add bad grammar and typos in ai generated content

@mrj21 @NC_Renic Because they need to learn how to write.

@NC_Renic Why not embrace AI then and make it about who can do the best essays using AI? Eventually the essays will average out in grade and only exceptional essays which combine AI and the student's personal effort will get top grades

@PlasticChairDis @andyowa97 @eattherich6969_ @groypocalypse @weijia @PinoAmericano First, why are you equating ICE detention to prison, and second, are you defending sexual assault in prisons perpetrated by the guards? What’s wrong with you? Gross. You might hate immigrants, but they’re still human beings.

@andyowa97 @eattherich6969_ @groypocalypse @weijia @PinoAmericano Do you think this is institutional and deliberate, or the natural consequence of being in a prison environment? (Remember, similar bad things happen in regular American prisons and jails, too.)

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.
