“I consistently break a rule I consider to be not only fake but pernicious. I know what I’m doing and why.”
-ursula k le guin
Fake Rule: The generic pronoun in English is he. Violation: "Each one in turn reads their piece aloud." This is wrong, say the grammar bullies, because each one, each person is a singular noun and their is a plural pronoun. But Shakespeare used their with words such as everybody, anybody, a person, and so we all do when we're talking. ("It's enough to drive anyone out of their senses," said George Bernard Shaw.) The grammarians started telling us it was incorrect along in the sixteenth or seventeenth century. That was when they also declared that the pronoun he includes both sexes, as in "If a person needs an abortion, he should be required to tell his parents." My use of their is socially motivated and, if you like, politically correct: a deliberate response to the socially and politically significant banning of our genderless pronoun by language legislators enforcing the notion that the male sex is the only one that counts. I consistently break a rule I consider to be not only fak but pernicious. I know what I'm doing and why.

My guess is the contempt hearing in Don’t Shoot and Jesse Merrithew was crossing Schoening or Dobson. I remember crossing one of them but not on anything terribly important (“isn’t it true that the sky was blue that day?” “Well, under the totality of the circumstances, our officers couldn’t assess…)

Chat, sound off in the comments if you think it’s divisive to preach that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”
As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’
Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

I love Burgerville despite the burgers being mid (seasonal items and chicken/fish/coconut bliss subs are where it’s at), but I’d personally be praying that they got my order right. It’s always dealer’s choice at BV.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

In an interview, Miranda, 46, says he got up, drank a shake, said his prayers, and drove from his home in Milwaukie to the metal shop where he works on Northeast Airport Way. He parked at 6 am and noticed lights behind him. Two men sprang from a small, unmarked SUV and called him by name, he says, asking for ID. They said they were from DHS and wanted to determine his citizenship. “They looked like day laborers,” Miranda says. “They were not looking or acting professional at all.” Both had thick Central American accents, said Miranda, whose mother is from Mexico. Miranda has spent time there and is familiar with the accents in the region,
