I couldn't swear to it, but that is very likely a clip from Protective Love by Kelsie Calloway, a short romance about a professional baseball player who comes to a sultry southern belle's rescue in a dive bar. I had a blast narrating those voices!
If that sounds like your cup of (sweet) tea, you can check out Protective Love on Audible, Amazon and Apple Books. https://geni.us/ProLo
What US gov is doing to Tiktok, is just like a guy named America says to you:
"Your wife is incredibly beautiful, and I yearn for her day and night to the extent that it threatens my health and safety. I hope you will divorce her and give her to me. I am willing to compensate you with some money; otherwise, I will forcibly take her away or even kill her."👿
It occurs to me that, since the demise of Twitter and the half-hearted move to Mastodon, most of my communication on social media is only with people I know. My brain is currently actively calculating if this is a good or a bad thing.
I do miss old Science Twitter, however. Is that still a thing here or elsewhere in another form? Is everyone partying without me? Leads welcomed. #Science#SciComm
#interview Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir on "Face the Nation," October 1973
Israel's leaders' megalomania and hubris were always so evident, it's embarrassing to think Netanyahu and his Ultranationalist coalition are somehow different from what came before them.
[~18:15] There's no problem of a solution. If you're talking about refugees, they should have been out of the camps 20 years ago. We almost took out of the camps many refugees in the Gaza Strip since the 6-day war, but there is room for the refugees in Jordan and there is no doubt that if they want a peaceful solution, Jordan is the natural place for Palestinians if they want to live there.
[~18:50] There are 20 independent Arab countries, but if the Palestinians want to come to more of self-expression, there's no doubt that between Israel and Jordan there would be one Arab state - Jordan. And that part across the border of Israel, that's an Arab state, that's Jordan. They call it Palestine, Jordan, Palestine, doesn't make a bit of difference.

Israel's leaders' megalomania and hubris were always so evident, it's embarrassing to think Netanyahu and his Ultranationalist coalition are perceived an anomaly.

@dmcahill Thanks for sharing. Good article. Even though I live in a different country, have a different gender and a different job, this text could have been mine. So many stories of those identified later in life are quite similar to one another.
Sergej Sergejitsj woont in een dorp in de grijze zone in de Donbas, aan de rand van Oekraïne. Aan de ene kant vechten de separatisten, aan de andere kant soldaten van het Oekraïense leger. De meeste dorpelingen zijn in 2014 al gevlucht. Er is geen winkel, geen postkantoor en geen stroom meer. Drie jaar later wonen er nog twee mannen: Sergejitsj en Pasjka.
@technology Oh, for sure, they mention the App Store fees and extensive review process, but in my opinion involving the price of the iPhone and past history of Apple is strange (and seems to make the case weaker).
Eeeeehhhhhh… you can’t really fault a company for a previously unknown hardware defect going against their stated principles. That’s like faulting the devs of OpenSSH for their principle of security because CVE-2023-38408 existed for years.
Hate on Apple for legitimate things, of which there are many.
TL;DR Putin is a MGS character: anticom russophobes miss that he doesn't get the USSR+thinks orthodox christianity can magically boost birth rates+stonks, criticism of Russian elections has to be insane because is it is broken the same way as western demo
@OldGermanicGuy@linguistics
Auf Helgoländisch sieht das ein bisschen anders aus; z.B. altfriesisch 'bām' und 'strām' wurden zu 'Booam' und 'Strooam'. Ich weiß aber nicht, wie 'ooa' auf Helgoländisch ausgesprochen wird, wie /ɔ:ə/, /ɔ:/ oder etwas anders? Ich verstehe, dass das Nordfriesische sich aus dem Altostfriesischen entwickelte: könnte 'ā' im Altostfriesischen wie 'ō' im Altsächsischen ausgesprochen worden sein?
(#Halunder).
@simonwilliamson
tja, und ich suche jemanden der Halunder spricht. Mir fehlt Übung und die Sprach CD nützt mir nichts ohne das passende Buch was selbst gebraucht vergriffen ist und nicht in der Bibliothek verfügbar. So verstehe ich nicht mal ein Drittel. Mit dem üblichen Platt habe ich keine Probleme, aber Halunder ist wirklich speziell. @linguistics
