After a crushing electoral defeat in 2018, one senior opposition politician told the Financial Times how he had spent the night in a “humble home” to learn what it was like, proudly showing pictures he had taken on his mobile phone.

“After I returned to Mexico City, it struck me that perhaps my maid lived in a similar sort of home, so I showed her the photos and sure enough it turned out that her home was very similar,” he beamed.

This... this is probably the single most out-of-touch thing I'd ever rich. A rich dude took pictures of a normal house, and then bragged to his maid that he went there.

I'm pretty sure it's implied that said Fallout 2 kid was talking out of their ass if you had a high enough Intelligence to press them.

I attended BYU-I in person for three years. There was a lot of dumb s### that happened there, but I can say with confidence this wasn't one of them. To not be a buzzkill though, I'll share an actual saying that people use around campus: "BYU I do." Because like 80-90% of students there expect to be married by the time they graduate.

To save people from having to squint at the small text; top chart is measured in seconds, bottom chart is measured in days.

Another video distributed by Russian state news agency RIA showed an inscription in an unidentified book supposedly recovered in the arrest — signed in Russian with the words “signature illegible.”

This whole article is just bonkers.

Unintentional as it probably was, I love the use of trans colors and what can be implied by it.

Does "Lawful" apply here when they're buying politicians to change those laws for them?
