@realmittenhands @batterystaple42 @WowieGuy11 Right, such as when the civilians are the target, like Oct. 7th.

Imagine an adviser to Biden had said this about Jewish Americans on the day of a synagogue attack - or any day of the year!
Just imagine the response.

In light of the Islamic center shooting today, I think it’s time to make sure Muslims are safe. The best way to ensure their safety is for our DHS Secretary Markwayne Muslim @SenMullin to deport every Muslim in America back to the Middle East where they can live in fully Islamic societies and blast their call to prayer without triggering Amercians into psychosis as a side effect of having their non-Islamic habitats disrupted by invasive species. Let’s make sure Muslims are safe. Send them back to the Middle East where there’s a mosque on every corner.

@batterystaple42 @WowieGuy11 We all know terrorism is the DELIBERATE targeting of civilians.

@Tennis @CocoGauff I read it is based on the clock face divided into four. 15, 30,45, game, but 45 was shortened to 40 because players couldn't be bothered.
English

"It's 15, 30, but it goes to 40. Why?"
@CocoGauff has a very relatable take on the tennis score system 😂

@mehdirhasan Hey @grok
Is "I ‘edited out’ your response? The Daily Wire published three clips from our debate featuring only you speaking and none of my responses." a whataboutist argument? And does Mehdi Hasan ever lecture against using whataboutist arguments?

@estockill @EmergencyInfoBC @BCRCMP @TerraceRCMP Nah, I will turn off the notification for emergency alerts.
English

UPDATE: The Terrace RCMP has CANCELLED the #AmberAlert issued earlier today. The children have been returned to safety. Follow @BCRCMP and @TerraceRCMP for further updates. #BC

@EmergencyInfoBC @BCRCMP @TerraceRCMP Smart move sending out a. Amber alert at 1am. Now I will disable future alerts. 👍
English

For those people crying about an amber alert at 1am. You can fuck right off, awww you get woken up for about 5 min. I bet if it was your children, you wouldn’t care what time it was. Fuck off go back to bed!!! #BritishColumbia #Amberalert #BCamberalert

@TheTennisLetter That is a back handspring, not a backflip.

@preta_6 Bill Maher did a terrible job of presenting an argument to counter Cross's statements.

@Fractal_Flesh @SwipeWright I guess it was actually Hannah Chinn who said " sex is hard to define" I don't have to articulate her argument, it's in the text above. Sex is defined by a reproductive system set up to produce large or small gametes.
English

NPR's Short Wave podcast casually promoted sex pseudoscience this week. Their guest, Dr. Emily Kwong, says sex is “hard to define” and can be defined by “a lot of things, like anatomy or hormones or chromosomes.”
NPR then plays a clip mocking biological accounts of sex: “I’ve never been to appointment where someone checked how many X chromosomes I had or what kinds of gametes I make,” as if that somehow disproves sex categories rather than just showing that doctors usually rely on obvious and reliable proxies instead of running invasive diagnostic tests at every checkup.
They even apologize for using the terms MEN and WOMEN “in super binary ways because many studies and experts still use these terms, even though we know that gender and even sex are not binary.”
Thanks to Trump, this nonsense no longer being funded by taxpayers.

@ontologyofsumud They players agreed to the 2 week masters in exchange for more prize money

@TennisUpdates26 @NotLite_03 @vanshv2k If a clay court is located at high altitude, it's not a "real" clay court? Wtf makes it a "real" clay court?
English

@NotLite_03 @vanshv2k IMO only 2 real clay events on the WTA are Rome and RG
Charleston is green, Madrid is altitude, Stuttgart and Linz are indoor. This baffles me every year

@SamaHoole Modern excerise scientists would classify agricultural labour as "extremely high intensity" exercise? Definitely not. Humans cannot do extremely high intensity activity for hours a day.

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239.
Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens.
Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to.
5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning.
6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June.
Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss.
10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it.
1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama.
4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt.
7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime.
Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth."
Robert would have a great deal to say about this.
Robert does not have the energy.

@Collinson_C @jkenney What is your argument? That the state of Palestine existed 4000 years ago? The word was derived from the Hebrew word Pelesheth, which referred to the Philistines, who came from Crete.
English

@jkenney Hey Jason, you may want to crack open a history book at least once in your life. The ancient Egyptians had dealings with the Palestinians at least as far back as 2000 years before the birth of Christ, in the language of Rameses III they were called the "Peleset."
English

No Canadian flag.
But a flag of a non existent state that is the raison d’être of banned terror groups like Hamas.
But they regard Canada as an “illegitimate settler state” characterized by white supremacy and genocide.
Tommy Douglas must be rolling over in his grave.

Of course there’s a Palestinian flag waving on stage. It’s Avi’s NDP now.
