@MsMelChen The funny thing is, in the case of many of those who have taken such offence on behalf of the ancient classics, the only Homer they had heard of until recently hailed from Springfield.
@mhar4 It again begs the question if the litany of such pro-PRC statements by former politicians and diplomats being wheeled out at this circus, and who in theory should know better than the average wumao here, is evidence of mere cluelessness or something else. 🤔
@Mr_Andrew_Fox “The Guardian of the Hormuz Strait” sounds like an ’80s B-grade film starring Chuck Norris and Rutger Hauer that went straight to VHS and the local video shop had to give away as a freebie.
@dieworkwear@nikitabier The bots are not just targeting the US but its allies and other democracies. When X accounts just a few months old have pumped out tens of thousands of (re)posts or hundreds of thousands in a couple of years and X does nothing, it’s hard to believe they take the issue seriously.
Trump: "The game tonight's going to be amazing. We're going to have a full team and Belgium is going to have a full team…If they beat us, we'll say it was — I say it was rigged just like the election was rigged in 2020."
@RadioFreeTom If the USA loses fairly and squarely, what are the odds of a 2020-style “it was rigged, stop the steal” narrative taking hold from others who don’t understand the rules of the game? (Coincidentally this opponent’s name also starts with a B…)
@ChrisCillizza Yes, an iPad is very versatile though the 11th generation base model (A16 chip) is much cheaper than the Air and would suffice for your needs. You may even be able to find it for a lot less than Apple’s recently hiked retail price. If cost is a consideration for you that is.
