If Iran already lost and surrendered to its neighbors the why would we be bombing them again today? This bonkers statement doesn't even have internal consistency.

Sounds familiar.

Workers in the US have more in common with workers in Iran than with their own billionaires and politicians.

Definitely better than nothing, but 12 weeks is still shitty. People with irregular periods (or teens in denial) may not know they're pregnant that quickly. Also many fetal anomalies aren't found until the 16-week ultrasound.

I #knit a hat & then I had more yarn so I made a couple more. Hats are one of my favorite things to knit. Alas, I have only one head & live in a mild-ish climate. Suggestions on where to donate handmade hats? I'm in the US near DC if that matters. #knittok

I think a huge number of people think "bee" is shorthand for "honeybee." I'm sure many have even seen bumble bees & not registered that they're different from "regular" bees. Most people don't pay attention to insects unless they're trying to kill them or run away.

Dear @nytimes.com, the Connections AI bot sucks at guessing the category for our wrong answers. On the one hand it makes me feel superior, but on the other I feel so misunderstood. "Transaction talk"??? Come on. This category is "Last words in the titles of classic plays."

Beaitiful! What's the yarn (if you remember) or blend? I've only knit a few pair of socks & they haven't lasted well.

Trump is one of the few I could believe writes some of his own posts. Probably not this one. This one has less random capitalization & caps lock than usual, though. The PR folks have to learn to write quotes that sound like they could be him. It's an art to write so poorly on purpose!

Trump is literally The Worst & the media is extremely shitty at times. But this specifically is very normal. Politicians, big company CEOs, famous entertainers, etc don't generally write their own press releases or social media posts. That's a PR staff job.

Those marble statues are all white therefore ancient Greeks were white. Flawless logic!

Opening Pandora's Box seems like the wrong analogy. The evils from Pandora's Box have already been among us for decades. This is more like a See Invisibility or Dispell Magic spell.

Hey, Propaganda Barbie:

We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up.

Ever.

More of this, please! I hate the 6-8 episode season. There's no room for character development, experimentation, or whimsy. Some shows need space to breathe.

ICE is running a β€œconveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

When I lived in rural Japan I couldn't find spaghetti so I just used soba for any Italian-ish pasta I was making. Worked great.

Just be sure to check the ingredients. I've seen a lot of soba in the US that also contains wheat as an ingredient.

❀️ Canada. I don't know anything about Carney, but can you even imagine any American president *ever* being in this photo?? And joking about taking credit for getting a spicy gay romance show made??? Not even Obama.

Totally agree! It's really frustrating when people mischaracterize DC as being only politicians (not that the OP did that).

I'm in the US near Washington DC. I think Canada geese are the most common for the Mid-Atlantic & northeast US, though I've traveled to other areas as well.

Hm. It occurs to me that the only wild geese I've ever seen have been Canada geese.

This is pretty accurate. I'd also add that politicians =/= DC, especially the Trump administration. The regular residents of DC & the surrounding suburbs are very diverse & liberal.

Pretty color! It's interesting to see how you hold the yarn. I also knit continental, but loop it around my finger. Cool how there are different techniques even within the same method.

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I guess these must also be criminals since they're carrying guns on our streets.
