salt is not only the perfect spice for any dish that brings out richer flavors, it also has use in the winter. when snowfall sticks to the ground, if you put salt on pavement, the salt will act as an absorption device, sucking up all the snow and making paths safer. thank you salt!

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Oh dear. On youtube, the legacy media & other social media, they refrain from callling (what Musk did) for what it was. One even called it a "racist" style salute. No, it was the 𝙃𝙞𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚! Not even the simple nazi salute, but explicitly the Hitler salute! They are too chicken to say 𝘯𝘢𝘻𝘪 now?
