These dudes are giving each other tips on how to lie to women.

Ask specific questions based on scenarios, it's harder for them to recite rote memorized responses.

Please ask specific questions

how many braindead liberal companies, orgs, parties etc. need to get burned in this idiotic way only to realise you can't attract fascists with fascism lite when they have fascism original available, but you WILL lose leftists?

That's all true, but it seems to me that for Bezos it is *much* more valuable now to be aligned with the regime, than WaPo to have subscribers. Projecting a liberal face was useful for years. Not anymore.

Stopped the night in Aachen recently en route to a funeral in Cologne. Had always wanted to see Cathedral but knew it wouldn't be open early enough. As we walked past we noticed that the door was ajar. We went in: an elderly gent beckoned us into the chapel and gave us a quick tour. #visitaachen

The word 'word' is etymologically related to the word 'verb'.

'Word' was inherited from Proto-Germanic.

'Verb', on the other hand, was borrowed from Latin 'verbum', which also simply meant "word".

They have a common Proto-Indo-European ancestor.

In the book Judas is Jesus' closest friend. So he is the only one who can be given the task of "betrayal" and he does it with great distress. Therefore the kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane is genuine – two intimate souls parting with each other tenderly.

This is what UNBEARABLE agony looks like.
Who knows for what reason this poor man was taken hostage - along with 1000s of other Palestinians - but we can easily imagine how his torment is compounded on learning that his wife and CHILDREN were murdered by the same brute forces that held him captive.

One thing is clear: renewables don’t fit within the political economy of neoliberal capitalism.

We have to choose between the profits of oil producers, and the health and prosperity of entire societies. But our politicians
care more about the former than the latter.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

- released Palestinian prisoner

Palestinian prisoner Shadi Abu Seed has given a harrowing account of life inside an Israeli prison after his release as part of the ceasefire deal.

“I went hungry for the past two years. I swear to God, they didn’t feed us. They kept us naked. They beat us while we were naked day and night. We were tortured,” Abu Seed said.

“Until our last day in Israeli prison, they cut us and hit us and abused us. We endured every kind of torture, emotional and physical.

“We couldn’t even sleep. They threatened us with our children. They told me they killed my children. They told us that Gaza was destroyed. I arrived here and found that everything was gone. It looked like the end of the world. Everything is different.”
