@DalrympleWill I absolutely reject the idea that these idiots would have anything worth saying on the subject of Pearl Harbor.

Such irredeemable morons... The near-total lack of knowledge of world history or geography leaves so many American politicians floundering when dealing with any subject more complex or nuanced than Pearl Harbour...

ICYMI — Tennessee congressman @RepOgles invokes the crusades to imply everyone in 🇺🇸 who isn’t Christian is “evil”

@susie_dent A while later, Kenneth’s friend announced that he was going on holiday. “Are you flying?” asked Kenneth. “Yes,” his friend replied, archly, “we’re leaving from the aero-drommy.” 2/2
English
@susie_dent I once heard Kenneth Williams tell a story about his correcting a friend on the pronunciation of ‘syndrome’. Kenneth insisted it ended like ‘epitome’, i.e. with an ‘ommy’ sound. 1/2

I am loving the replies to this. Thanks to everyone for sharing their own epi-fannies.
Susie Dent@susie_dent
Thank you to the lovely audience member at @hayfestival who shared that her daughter had once corrected her pronunciation of ‘epiphany’ and told her it should of course be ‘epi-fanny’. Which word have you royally mispronounced because you’d only ever seen it written down?
English
@susie_dent For far too long I thought ‘misled’ was pronounced ‘myzulled’.

@justified_left @ENO8Jeff @donwinslow When you characterize law enforcement personnel as armed thugs, you are arguing in bad faith from the start.
English
@justified_left @ENO8Jeff @donwinslow Remember when your tribe celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk?
English
@ENO8Jeff @donwinslow Honest question: when you see heavily armed thugs trying to separate children from their parents, how much of a ghoul do you need to be to pretend this somehow conforms to the rules of polite debate?
English
@donwinslow Honest question…what’s the context here? Are they in the country illegally? Are they resisting arrest? What’s the scenario here?

Hey @gofundme you have received several complaints that this fundraiser wants money for illegal activities, but you haven’t responded. Can you please take action!

You know when anti-migrant loons say they want to stop the boats so we can take care of ‘our own people’? Well here’s how they feel when workers stand up for themselves. Don’t imagine for one minute that cranks like Rupert Lowe really want you to be comfortable and secure.

@DalrympleWill @EmpirePodUK My wife and I love this film. Even today, when one of us runs an errand that will separate us for a few minutes, one of us is liable to exclaim: “I will find you!” It amuses us, anyway.

@jackinthecentre @MichaelRosenYes Yes, words do have meaning. Taking a lot of people from a large area and forcing them into a smaller area = concentration. Policing the borders of this area with fences and armed guards = camp. Concentration + camp = whaddya think?
English
@MichaelRosenYes Words have meanings. Obtuse misuse of these words doesn't benefit anyone.
English
How dare you call it a concentration camp! Just because it's a camp and we're concentrating people into it, doesn't mean it's a concentration camp.
English
These cranks really believe that spraying a bit of paint on a couple of war planes is terrorism. I don’t imagine they’re quite as agitated about tank crews spraying starving civilians with machine gun bullets.
Na'omi 🪷@iNaomiAllen
They're acting like the Red Army Faction. Yeah, they're terrorists. What's deranged, is thinking otherwise.

@David_warren198 @BobBobs64 @richardpbacon Lots of infrared energy from sunlight is reflected back into space. CO2 and other greenhouse gases absorb this energy and retransmit it as heat. This causes the lower atmosphere and planet surface to become warmer. This is taught to children in schools. It is basic physics.
English
@BobBobs64 @richardpbacon Ok but tell me how CO2 is damaging the planet, considering plants thrive I a high CO2 environment. The whole thing is a crooked scam, to keep making the poor even poorer.

@Thedanishcookie @JohnSimpsonNews Yet strangely, despite being so resolutely Marxist, the Telegraph has remained utterly silent on the Okishio Theorem and the value form in general. I think they may need reeducating.

@JohnSimpsonNews lol saying that on a Marxist paper, China is probably the editor

Excellent, thoughtful and very sad. I haven’t always agreed with you, Janet, but this is admirable. telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/202…
