I welcome the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by President Trump.

If German native-speakers just pronounce it old-school-style,
it's a:
WEDGIE-Börga
Problem solved.

a cartoon drawing of a man ordering a burger at a burger place and the server's underwear are wedged in the burger so the man ordering says, "No I said I want a veggie burger not a wedgie burger!" it is deeply unfunny but since some German people call veggie burger wedgie burger because of native tongue pronunciation in second or third or whatever number language, it is moderately funny for me. Not really.

I’m doing an interview in a moment with an Austrian radio station about what it’s like being an American in authoritarianism and I’m nervous. Even though I talk about this constantly on social media, it feels extra real suddenly. My hands are getting clammy and I feel like I might cry.

Too much of a challenge in critical thinking for the supremacist mind-set prevalent in our bubbles.
