If you ask me... #bluesky #blsky

@br00t4c At least they will make the voters pay immediately and with their very lives for their stupidity.

@balglaas @liilliil @kaia Austria 🇦🇹 or, as some call it , Gouda with hills.

@br00t4c yeah like the 60s is all hippies and the 70s is entirely disco. This is nothing new.

@clintruin @QasimRashid Religion doesn't enter into it at all. I know I shouldn't even be starting this argument because it's utterly pointless, but calling this a religious war is like calling the Troubles a religious war.

It has nothing to do with gods. Many Israelis are not religious. Many Palestinians are not Muslim. These crude oversimplifications only serve to stoke up hatred in the rest of the world, against the Jews or the Muslims, or religion in general.

@selzero @kaia if you like your (red) wines with a stronger flavour, choose wines from more southern regions. Doesn't always work that way, there's some great wine from northern Italy with strong flavour like Lagrein, but in general it's a good rule of thumb.

@ParanoidFactoid Mediaite has it that he took it down himself, and that his was a "conspiracy theory". No explanation for the remarkably pristine ear.

@finche @Daojoan "Rude language" is raw emotion. You don't win people over talking like an insensitive bureaucrat.

Funny how those who condemn Biden for his stance on Israel, never talk about the other guy. They seem to like him a lot more in the Apartheid state. One wonders why.

@Miro_Collas @palestine Whereas in the Netherlands a proposal has been voted in Parliament to criminalize the slogan 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'.

@UnconventionalEmma Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose has a monastery's library and scriptorium at the center of the story. And it's very famous, having been made into a big Hollywood movie and all.

"When Coca-Cola publicly released the report in September 2010, it revealed that it takes 35 liters of water to make every half-liter of Coke in Holland."

Bedenk daarbij dat er zevenTIG liter water nodig is voor de productie van één liter cola.

@oppen My brother, an audiophile, responded: "Audiophiles don't listen to Alan Parsons." To which I replied: "Exactly. They listen to their equipment."

@georgetakei Craiyon is not high quality but I think we can get HBO to make the series Pope George on the basis of these.

@georgetakei As pope?
