Keep her away from the tea for God's sake

The defining strategy of all modern, right wing movements has been to reduce the likelihood of critical information (in both the meanings of that word) penetrating the view of info-poor people.

From gutting local papers, to controlling TV news and Facebook news.

This.

Plus the commentators and supporters in other countries (I heard one on the radio yesterday here in the UK) are just beyond contempt. He's not even your sodding leader!

Shame, I would've been very amused if "New" York St had been named in 1650

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I got some of my computer games in a book. I keyed the code and any I liked I saved on an audio cassette.

Also, I recorded stuff at home on cassettes 😃

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

Two Americas.

True - probably a better way of expressing it than I managed too!

Correct, but he wasn't a king of his French holdings. He may have been a good duke or count but he was a terrible king

Sorry, I must've looked at the wrong list (or the list was wrong)

Either way it doesn't feel that old!

I had to look up 2003 releases as I'm old, but GTA Vice City is head and shoulders above everything else

Great thread, thanks for starting it. Especially on a day when so many will be wound up by petty gripes IRL

Alternate doesn't mean alternative. Even having to write this out pisses me off.

Did we change the definition of 'literally'? Literally every modern dictionary includes this definition

I used to think this, until I found out literally has been used figuratively for literally centuries www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/misu...

That always annoys myself
