Happy 3 year anniversary to this post
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant. 9,742 L7 19.4K 43.8K 个 AP The Associated Press @AP Replying to @APStylebook The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense.

Amazon’s MGM studios spent tens of millions, but the documentary is projected to make just $1M in its first week.

This comes as a new report from Rolling Stone details serious labor issues and two-thirds of the film’s staff requesting not to be credited at the end of the film. trib.al/Clr03cD

Universal in all languages, actually!
Screenshot of an X.com post by Count Mysterioso (@MysteriosoX) saying, “Oh man, Dutch is such a difficult and enigmatic language, if only we could know what this means.” Below is an image of JD Vance in a suit, with overlaid Dutch text: “Buitenland” and “Wie is J.D. Vance, de First bitch achter president Trump?” (contains a derogatory phrase).

Thanks to the Guardian for publishing this extract from my new book. It's about one of the many very bleak aspects of the global anti-money laundering system.

De nieuwe bestuurder bij mijn klant leek me al een prettig mens en nu zie ik tijdens call ook nog een Ajax-shirt aan zijn muur hangen. 👌🏼

En om bij het thema 📖 te blijven: in april komt nieuwe Patrick Radden Keefe uit, over deze zaak:
A Teen’s Fatal Plunge Into the London Underworld
After Zac Brettler mysteriously plummeted into the Thames, his grieving parents discovered that he’d been posing as an oligarch’s son. Would the police help them solve the puzzle of his death?

Hij lag vrij lang op de stapel omdat nadat ik hem had gekocht ik de niet hele positieve reviews las. Maar vond hem mooi. Het taalgebruik, de beschrijving van de vriendschap tussen Hai en de oude oosteuropese demente dame en de kameraadschap op zijn werk. Prima boek.

The good news is that at this rate by mid year I'll be able to buy the US Army and send all its stuff to Ukraine for the price of a small coffee at Geneva Airport.

I always said I'd never vote for Reform because they were a bunch of nasty, mediocre spivs but now Suella Braverman's joined, well, that pretty much changes everything.

Dit duurde lang. En “I would hope that administration officials will reconsider their approach” klinkt alsof er een verkeerde oplossing werd gekozen voor een probleem. Maar het probleem is verzonnen.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

There is simply no world in which this clothing choice is a coincidence.
The photo, whose credit is unknown, shows Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol commander wearing a Nazi-style coat. The picture is black and white, echoing the haunting photos taken in the Nazi ghettos. The racist fuck has a tight skin face with spiked up black hair and he is clasping his hands. He stands as an eternal reminder that we all must, at every available opportunity, punch Nazis in the face. Cunt.
