@jk_rowling I agree with all points—and when it is maybe one day possible to actually change sexes biologically, the procedure ought to be named after you. But only if it’s safely reversible.
@GadSaad The worst thing about tribalism is the aversion to common sense that it instills. Feeling compelled to share and seek validation for illogical beliefs is the result of not having the courage or will to form one’s own opinions. It’s pitiful, really. Or, religion.
@JohnCleese I love our shared Anglo-American culture, and Western culture in general. There are still so many kinks to work out, but at least we try. Back-sliding isn’t an option.
@VanceNate@LauraLoomer It’s performative, though. It doesn’t take a visit to Ukraine to realize how deranged Russia is. It just takes a brain and a beating heart.
@piersmorgan No surprise there. As Holocaust victim Etty Hillesum wrote, “Socialism lets in hatred against everything that is not socialist through the back door.”
@Kasparov63 And the world sees why Americans prefer baseball, North American football, and basketball. Though these sports are not perfect in many ways, they don’t as often leave fans weary and frustrated due to systemic unfairness.
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
@England As an American, I’d love to see England win it all. During the 250th birthday year in America, which owes everything to Great Britain, to be honest. Kind of poetic?
@EmmanuelMacron Americans will never forget how much we owe the people of France. Thanks for the win, and thanks for keeping us honest when we go astray.
@ZelenskyyUa Thank you. The more we celebrate what makes Ukraine and America great, the more Russians realize they’ll never have it if they continue on their current trajectory. This, perhaps more than any other reason, is why they must leave Ukraine and focus on their own sorry state.
