Englishmen: We’ve been invaded and occupied for centuries by sooo many different nation states. Which one are you again?

You can also hear it every day if you’re an English speaker. The Roman conquest of England greatly affected the English language.

No, but decelerate is.

It’s not happening to us, but it’s happening all around us and we choose not to see it. Once my own daughter began talking to me about her experiences and pointing out men’s problematic behavior in public, I can no longer not see it.

Everyone seems to forget a bunch of tech bros bought almost $1B worth of land in Solano County CA with the stated goal of building a new city. It made national headlines for a bit as the buyer was initially a mystery and it’s near Travis Air Force base so there was concern it was foreign actors.

Sometimes external actors set the date for you and it’s your job to figure out how. I worked in health care IT and heath care regulators don’t play around. You can and will be fined heavily for missing deadlines.

They weren’t fucking with the fire department. They were trying to open massive water pumps (incapable of delivering water anywhere near the fires mind you) that have the capacity to flood entire towns. If you or I did that we’d be facing terrorism charges.
