Accordion to a recent survey, replacing words with the names of musical instruments in a sentence often goes undetected.

Hi. Norwegian here. Some people seem to think that high taxes destroy freedom. But in Norway, a lot of our freedom comes from what taxes protect: - Study without lifelong debt. - Change jobs without losing health care. - Have children with no medical bills. - Get sick without going broke. Freedom is not the absence of taxes. Freedom is the absence of fear. Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege. trond_solberg71

Why is it that the people who think teenagers can be trusted with guns don't think they can be trusted with books?

I find this especially appropriate since my younger son, who is trans, was obsessed with Lisa Simpson as a kid.
Lisa Simpson standing in front of a screen on which is projected: "The people who made Jurassic Park didn't think it was possible to transition from female to male and that's why they got eaten by dinosaurs. Moral of the story is, support trans rights or get eaten by dinosaurs."

Funny how millions of people on an internet platform where they can communicate instantaneously with people on the other side of the world using incredibly powerful handheld computers linked to orbiting satellites hundreds of miles in space don't believe in science.

The state dining room was perfectly good for all of the presidents who lived in the WH until Trump. The ballroom is just another one of his grifts.
IMAGE: A photo of the White House's state dining room during a state dinner. Caption: It's so odd that the White House was able to host such a big dinner with no ballroom. It's almost as if they've been doing it for a long time and the ballroom is totally unnecessary. Credit: threads.com/@ally_said_it

This reminds me of Sam Vimes's organizer in the Discworld books.
It helps if you imagine autocorrect as a tiny little elf in your phone who's trying so hard to be helpful but is in fact quite drunk.

The mass deportation is not deportation at all. When people are captured without due process, that's kidnapping. When they are sent to another country against their will, that's human trafficking. When they're put in a prison with no way to get out, that's a concentration camp. Stop calling it deportation!

Plus he laughed with a murderer in the Oval Office after yelling at and insulting a reporter for asking about the murder. This was in my feed right under your post, so it was begging to be added to the list of reprehensible things.
The text of Max Berger's post with a post from TheRoadie beneath it featuring a photo of Trump laughing with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in the gold-covered Oval Office. Text of the post: "So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing."

The early bird gets the worm but the late bird just gets a slightly worse worm. There's worms everywhere. Who cares. Sleep late. Do not let the worms dictate your lifestyle.

Hey so "underage girls" are...children. The word you're looking for is children. They're not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They're children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Some folks think teenagers are adult enough to be forced to deliver a pregnancy or responsible enough to open carry rifles, but too fragile to learn about slavery. - Jess Piper (@EnglishTeach07)

Reminder that Starbucks' CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a contract with its unionized workers? Solidarity with Starbucks workers who are on strike. --Robert Reich (@rbreich.bsky.social)

"Caucacity is spending 8 years calling the nation's first black President, 'Barack the magic negro,' 'boy,' and 'tar baby,' and his wife a 'gorilla in heels,' because you have free speech... but now wanting to FIRE everyone who calls a deceased racist a racist." --Bishop Talbert Swan

A billion is obscene. A trillion is profoundly and exponentially obscene. If you made a million dollars a day from year 0 to now, you would be about 700 years away from a trillion. --pat_dimitri

I think this every time I see someone using "then" for "than" or "than" for "then". Why yes, I am petty and pedantic, why do you ask?
Stop saying, "They didn't teach us that in school." Yes they did. You were talking.
