Every country should boycott the World Cup. We are a fit country for this.
In the analogy, saying that Adderall is identical to amphetamine is like saying that a scalpel is identical to a blade. There are different amphetamines, and the dextroamphetamine salts in Adderall are not chemically identical to either methamphetamine or racemic amphetamine.
*infuriate, now I wonder what βinferiorateβ means and whether it infuriates anybody.
I prefer βburgleβ, but I can see how that would inferiorate people too, since it's a back-formation and the noun is βburglar', not βburglerβ.
Destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the world, does seem to be his priority.
Conservatives were on the record in January 2023 in the NYT saying explicitly that they targeted trans youth to be able to ban transitioning for everyone. They admitted it but then every dumb centrist was like "but what about the evidence on trans youth."
And here we are.
And Joanie Loves Chachi, and officially Blansky's Beauties (although the setting was inconsistent), and arguably also Out of the Blue (although this is officially an independent series that just did some crossovers). But the last two I've never seen and only heard about in relation to the HDCU.
Imagine if Benjamin Franklin had had flea collars.
chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

Now you've got me singing that song, except that I'm singing it to Leonard Bernstein's original melody, because I can't remember any of the Animaniacs' parody melodies.
Which is of course a spinoff of Happy Days, itself a spinoff of Love American Style, and there are three other sitcoms in that cinematic universe (plus an animated AU).
I've heard βsidequelβ for a spinoff that takes place at the same time as the original, although I'm not sure if that's actually the case here (and even if it is, it's not exactly what you were asking about).
Journal news: 80% of the editorial board of Communications in Algebra has resigned. The resignation letter cites Taylor & Francis' dismissal of managing editor Scott Chapman and their recent top down approach to running journals. (E.g. implementing a 2 reviewer system without consulting the board.)
This email from Elliott Payne sounds like he is fuming with rage

It would work if the IRGC treated him like Scotus does, but somehow they don't, and he can't imagine why.
That's it, we can go home now, we're done.
They could just call it the Death Bets Act. They don't have to make up a backronym for it. It's good name as it is; just call it that.
Regardless of its box office success, they'll make a sequel because of the hype it gets, like with Morbius except that they'll actually fall for it.
Yes, that's all that I could think of.
Yes, that's the meaning I take from it, which makes sense in context: www.goodreads.com/quotes/31598...
Leaving out words that can be inferred from context, like this, reinforces the character's dismissive attitude.
I'm seriously trying to figure out what punctuation this writer thinks it's missing. My best guess is that they misunderstood it.

I heard it was the Indus. Which just really does not make sense geographically, but kind of works as a metaphor for the origin of civilization.
There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts.
There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.
Looking to speak to immigrants rights groups and immigration lawyers ASAP for a story about ICE/DHS and mass surveillance. If thatβs you or anyone you know, DM me your best contact number!! Or tag ppl below who would be good to connect with.
A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz.
