At what point does “fuck ageism” transition to “maybe people in their 70s and 80s, and jesus christ, their 90s shouldn’t have the deathgrip on power”?

I thought he was trying to be hip and it was a tattoo on his face like the kids do nowadays. Maybe get a little extra money from Polo in the process.

What am I wrong about again?

Emily is a fan of Deutscher Fußball-Bund. I’d like to think Frauenfußballclub Turbine Potsdam, but it could very well be Köln for all we know.

Alas, Venezuela is a bit further south. Honduras has textiles, coffee, and bananas? An outward-looking strategy that focuses on economic growth through labor-intensive manufactured exports ... not so much.

Animals in a zoo can’t start fires. I’m pretty sure these are humans (and should be treated as such).

Watch sloth and heathen Folly

I think the bone saw would have been caught by the metal detector.

Thanks to decades of American meddling we also have South Korea.

I wouldn’t call her European. Her lived experience is American. European ancestry, like Native American ancestry, makes up her genetic ancestry, but may or may not be part of her identity. Does she think it metric or think fondly of Kraftskiva? Probably not.

I was going to go with China for the example. A billion people who have managed to minimize ethnicity, minimize religion, and still have class, politics, and personalities to coalesce around/against.
