ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”
Thanks to the first volume of Michael Palin's diaries, I recently discovered the glory of one of the greatest travel pieces in British publishing history.
In early April 1977, The Guardian published a 7-page travel supplement on this "little-known" island nation.

A medieval king was hunting in Africa...
He killed a lion, an elephant, and a hippopotamus, and awarded the skins to his three squires back home in his kingdom.
Thus, the three squires became known as the Lion Squire, the Elephant Squire, and the Hippo Squire.
As the years passed, the Lion Squire and the Elephant Squire became very jealous of the Hippo Squire because they wanted the hippo skin too. So, they hatched a plan to assassinate the Hippo Squire and divide the hippo skin between them equally.
Now the Lion Squire had eight sons, and the Elephant Squire had ten sons, but the Hippo Squire was childless.
The Lion Squire and the Elephant Squire sent their eighteen sons to kill the Hippo Squire, but the Hippo Squire drew his sword and single-handedly slaughtered all eighteen of them.
And thus, it was proven once and for all that the squire of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squires of the other two hides.
@AK_Organizer@Mike79990@isaiah_bb This also happened with NXIVM, but eventually the story hit nationally and leveraged a lot of the initial local reporting.
kind of funny that matt walsh's whole thing is attacking the idea that gender is a performance when every square centimeter of this set and outfit is about gender performance
@turntineforwhat Not to pile onto your struggles here but you should look up hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Sleep apnea, stretchy skin, freak accident injuries… all part of the package. I wish someone had told me when I was 25, would have saved me a lot of Dr visits.
@Nads_Shariff As a former swim instructor: please don’t do this. You’re risking your own child’s safety and everyone else’s, plus slowing down the entire class.
Always remember that Tony gilroy got hired to write Andor bc he sent an email explaining why disneys original plans for the show sucked. Never stop being a hater.
