@CurtainSilicon @MarioNawfal Which part is bullshit? Gabbard is a batshit crazy Russian asset who has spread blatant lies about the diagnostics labs supported by the biological engagement program, but which bits of this statement about funding GOF in Wuhan and stifling debate on COVID origins is untrue?

@MarioNawfal Weapons grade bullshit

🇺🇸 Tulsi went out guns blazing, exposing Fauci for funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Covid lab "Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024."

@Gerashchenko_en Reminds me of when I was in Moscow in the 90s when things on the shelf were priced in US$ but charged at the till in rubles, coz the exchange rate was changing so rapidly

The situation at a gas station in Khabarovsk region, Russia. Both gas prices and lines are growing quickly.

@wirbelsturm13 @RobertJMolnar lol. We on GSD #5 and still wouldn’t dream of getting a Mali

@RobertJMolnar Also, don’t start with a Belgian Malinois.

I say this once again....please do not get a husky as your first dog....i know it seems cool...wolf looking and shit....they will fuck you up....hence whey they are one of the leading pound dogs in the nation Sibes are not for starters,,,,,period

@GenivieveIsFine @RobertJMolnar Was going to post the same but you beat me to it. Particularly true of working line shepherds. Our current GSD is our 5th - no way I could have coped with her had she been our first

@RobertJMolnar Also true of GSD. I think people should have to prove that they’ve successfully parented these breeds before acquiring one.

@reiska67 @JayinKyiv Perhaps it can be reclaimed by Finland 😀

@treveghan @JayinKyiv Karelia is now just a wasteland. It can't stand on it's own.

With the Russian military busy being destroyed in Ukraine, and Putin surely soon to allocate what remains of these forces to cracking skulls on the streets of Moscow in a last ditch effort to hold power, it's time to begin discussing which inmate in the Kremlin's prison of nations will secede first. With most of these "republics" being vastly resource rich yet impoverished due to all yield being for centuries carted off to Moscow, its now only a matter of time. Which falls first?

@dbltoe @renabaddie_ What about Utah?

@renabaddie_ Ohio has only three distinct letters, whereas Iowa meets the criteria.

Your first guess was wrong… now think smarter 👀🇺🇸 Read twice….. answer once 🤯without googling 💕

White to move! Mate in 2!

@RevillJames @pdmillett When compliance is necessary to maintain the licence to continue doing your raisin d’etre and failure to comply threatens your professional and institutional future, it becomes the most important thing - ahead of safety, ethics, truth, or learning

@pdmillett Interesting piece: “About 43 per cent of the 750-odd study subjects said they felt “very real” pressures to engage in misconduct”. And both compliance and education still seem important.

Compliance ‘more important than education’ on research ethics share.google/EAWMBjW06tnnA0…

@btrekman1 @disgustedrepub1 @RpsAgainstTrump I guess you can if you’re prepared to trek through Saudi, Kuwait, and Iraq on foot. Better take lots of water with you though

@RpsAgainstTrump He is a blithering idiot. Dingbat Trump said you can walk across the border of Qatar to Iran. Look at the map below. 👇👇👇

Trump arrives late to a G7 meeting after all the other leaders are already seated and says, “I’m the boss.” (Only a deeply insecure man feels the need to keep telling everyone he’s the boss and ends every post with “President Trump.”)

@WalterKovacs69 @Microinteracti1 I left the UK in 82 and sort of lost contact with British sports for about 30 years living the expat life by which time I guess football was the common term. But it is only recently that I have become aware how snobbish people are against soccer

@treveghan @Microinteracti1 Bit older than me, definitely not a thing through 80s onwards

⚽️🏈 Why Do Americans Call It Soccer? Blame England. Americans get a lot of grief for calling it soccer. It is, the argument goes, a typically obtuse piece of American exceptionalism, a nation so convinced of its own importance that it renamed the world’s most popular sport just to be difficult. The rest of the world calls it football. The Americans call it something that sounds like a position in a law firm. How very them. Except it isn’t them. Not originally, anyway. The word soccer comes from Association Football, the formal name given to the game when the Football Association was founded in England in 1863. A few decades later, schoolboys at Rugby School and then Oxford, with that particular genius the English have for mangling perfectly good words, took “Assoc,” short for Association, and bolted on the suffix “-er,” a standard piece of Victorian public school slang used to make anything sound more cheerful. Rugby football became “rugger.” Association football became “soccer.” The English invented the word. They used it cheerfully for decades. It appeared in British newspapers and formal writing well into the twentieth century without anyone apparently clutching their pearls about it. There is a lovely wrinkle here, too. “Soccer” was largely the word of the upper class, while the working and middle classes preferred “football.” So when the upper class began losing its grip on British society from the 1960s onward, “soccer” went down with it, quietly dropped the way you abandon a phrase once it becomes unfashionable, and then pretend you never said it at all. By the time America was building its own professional leagues, “soccer” had become entirely natural there, partly to distinguish the sport from American football, which had arrived earlier and planted its flag on the word “football” with the confidence of someone who got there first and has no intention of moving. So the next time someone sneers that Americans can’t even name the sport correctly, you can point out that Americans are faithfully preserving a word the English coined, used for generations, then quietly abandoned and somehow turned into evidence of foreign stupidity. Which, when you think about it, is a very English thing to do. Stay connected, Follow @Gandalv

@WalterKovacs69 @Microinteracti1 60s and 70s, in both UK military base schools and in state schools in England

@treveghan @Microinteracti1 When was that? I've never heard anyone here call it soccer unless they were taking the piss

@jaynordlinger @GeorgeWill When Star Trek Next Generation came out I was relatively recently out of business school, and thought it a great show about management

In 1986, @GeorgeWill wrote a column declaring "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" the best movie ever -- "movie" as distinct from "film," he said. Today, we have Sunstein on "Obsession." I like it when these political- and legal-theory brains do movies (and films).

@NoContextHumans Might as well post “Customers not welcome”

If you can’t afford to pay a living wage, you can’t afford to own a restaurant

@MontyDK1 @RasmusJarlov @mike_petriello Really mature to block me

@MontyDK1 @RasmusJarlov @mike_petriello No. But do keep showing off how ignorant you are in your arrogance

I love soccer because you can score zero goals and have it be the best day in the history of your nation

@beaglelady54 @RobertJMolnar Perhaps he hopes it will be by then 😀

@RobertJMolnar Didn’t Cruz say something about having to be born in the US to run for president? He was born in Canada. Last I checked that isn’t part of the USA.

My way too early prediction for the GOP field in 2028....in no particular order 1. Rubio 2. Haley 3. Marjorie Taylor Green 4. JD Vance 5. Ted Cruz 6. Desantshit 7. Cotton 8. Hawley Dark horse candidate Thune also, stop with the Don Jr bullshit

@RobertJMolnar Remind me, how many delegates did Giuliani get in his bid for the nomination…

no no Mayor has ever been elected to President directly out of their Mayors office stop it
