I read the r in purses as an s at first but the joke still worked

In that case the US can just arm the resistance groups. Nothing bad has ever happened by doing that.

I'm just using a self hosted git repo with markdown files. I was having trouble finding something open source that I could edit with vim that also had a good mobile solution. I also didn't want to get locked into a file format that was specific to an app.

Markdown is ubiquitous and I use git all the time as a developer so it was easier to tack something onto an existing workflow. It's a little janky but at least I won't be screwed by devs abandoning whatever app I was using.

When you're used to seeing the word classist it takes a second to remember a classicist isn't someone who is prejudiced against ancient Greeks and Romans.

Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?

Look, I'm sorry I didn't vote in 2016 but I've voted every time since then and started paying attention to local politics. Now I have a protected bike lane next to my neighborhood and the roads aren't full of holes

I love the attention to detail in the armor. It looks straight from 15th century Germany (well, the area eventually known as Germany)

The IDF must really love killing Palestinians. They can't even stop for a few days. They need an intervention

It comes from Latin iactare meaning "to cast". Over time the c was dropped as French evolved and the i shifted to a y consonant and we get yeter. Once it was borrowed into English it further changed as the -er was dropped and short e became a long ee following the great vowel shift.

I am lying but most of those bits are facts and I'm actually describing the etymology of jet. Also the proto Indo European ye is hilariously uncanny.

I feel this whole case is everything wrong with the justice system (aside from him actually facing consequences). A corrupt cop with a history of violence gets attacked in an overpopulated and understaffed prison where folks are punished instead of rehabilitated.
