circleWhat’s going on? I thought we all agreed with what Joe Biden said about the Orange Man. The only “existential threat” Loyalty to democracy. But now that he’s been shot, should we just assume he’s just an ego-driven old man who wants to be president? And why is Biden apologizing for his servile phone call and saying “it’s time to zero in on Trump”? I thought that’s what we wanted? Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who once called Trump “dangerous” and “evil,” now says “political violence of any kind has no place in our society.” Weak! Pathetic! At least we’re happy to see the Republican Party belatedly realizing that hurtful words are literal violence after Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance said, “The idea that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs led directly to the assassination attempt on President Trump.” Didn’t they realize that before? Were we always actually trying to kill him when we say these things?

The Welsh Government This guide Since last year, members of the Welsh Terminology Task & Finish Group (in the area of race and ethnic equality), which translates social justice words into the language of the dragon, have met virtually eight times in two years and not been paid a penny. This is a real shame, because we should reward those who gave Welsh speakers words for intersectionality (croestoriadedd) and microaggression (microymosodiad). Welsh speakers are told to capitalize “Du,” which means black, when referring to a person, but not “gwyn,” which means white, in a similar context. We are also told that “whiteness” (gwynder) should not be capitalized because it “has no cultural dimension.” Meanwhile, “blackness” (Duder) must be capitalized because it is “a positive word that defines the characteristic of dark skin and the positive culture that may be associated with it.” Personally, I’m happy to have resurrected an ancient white language that was almost dead just to tell white people that they don’t exist. It’s also refreshing to finally see the acknowledgement of a return to a 19th century-style racial hierarchy – perhaps something like Du (black), gwyn (white), Y cwn ffycin Saesneg (English).

Focus on the race
To remain progressive, did not notice When American women’s 100m hurdles champion Aleisha Johnson qualified for the Olympics, She cried in front of the camera She said the award encourages people who “look like me” to keep trying, adding, “Everyone always told me I’m not good enough, I don’t deserve it… This is for everyone like me who’s ever been doubted… I’m paving the way for everyone who’s been in my shoes.” It’s best not to notice the fact that there was only one white woman in the race and she looked to be at the bottom. First we saw color and it was racist. Then we became color blind and it became racist. Then we started seeing color again and lo and behold, it became racist again. It’s hard to keep up and it’s better for white women athletes not to keep up.
Read my lips
New “Children’s Literature Laureate” Exposes the Truth, Reading is an “invisible privilege” Many children in the UK are being deprived of the opportunity to read. Frank Cottrell-Boyce says research shows that children who are not read to at an early age face “huge barriers” later in life. I myself never knew reading was so important. In my working-class primary school, I was the only one in my class who was taught to read, and that too as a challenge. But who is to blame for this lack of literacy? The rich, of course! “For too long, the life-changing benefits of reading for children have not been taken seriously… 1,000 libraries have been lost. In the same period, superyacht sales have risen by 42 percent,” Cottrell-Boyce said. For a moment, he came dangerously close to blaming parents who barely worked. [surely hard-working? — ed.] Not the billionaires who closed libraries privately, presumably to avoid taxes. [I’m not sure that’s how it works — ed.] Superyacht sales are down 17 percent at the moment, but illiterate kids are unlikely to notice. My editor points out that UK billionaires pay around £6 billion in taxes, while public libraries cost just £725 million a year, to which I tactfully reply: “Just look at the rise in sales of certain luxury goods!” In the interest of comprehensiveness, this article is narrated by an underprivileged robot, so you can hear my truth bombs without being seen and without the previously unappreciated benefit of word recognition.
I put on the chain and sawed it off.
Argentina, which once prided itself on accepting refugees with gold bars from war-torn Central Europe without question, is now run by chainsaw-wielding madmen who will stop at nothing to chop off all traces of minorities. Javier Milley, who calls abortion “aggravated murder,” has separated from the government the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity, which his predecessor transformed from a boring office focused solely on women classified female at birth into one that celebrates women. all Millay celebrates women, gender identity and queerness. Her only saving grace is that she wants the UK to give up the Malvinas, but she also rails against left-wing leaders like Brazil’s President Lulu, calling him a “corrupt communist.” Indeed, the Brazilian president has a Wikipedia page that reads:Corruption ScandalBut Lulu didn’t learn to read or write until she was 10, so I think I know what’s causing it.
