I love English. It's a trash fire disguised as a language and I'm here for all of it. However, I really need to be better about people not speaking it "correctly." It's a goddamn trash fire. Of course people don't speak it correctly. I'm pretty sure there's no correct way to speak it. And that's leaving out all the racism and classism which goes into "grammatical perfection."

English isn't Latin. It's a glorious clusterfuck of stolen parts bolted onto a bastard chassis and powered entirely by the burning of dictionaries. There is no way that it should be the lingua franca of international affairs, and yet it is. Speak it any way you want. English doesn't give a fuck. English will take your error and turn it into a part of itself. English drinks prescriptivist tears like fine wine. Contribute to the delinquency of English any way you can.

A federal judge has ruled members of Congress are not required to give advance notice when visiting ICE facilities.

A dozen House lawmakers filed suit earlier this year in response to an ICE memo
requiring members of Congress to provide at least a week’s notice if they plan to visit a site where detainees are held.

The suit argues the new policy goes against a U.S. statute that guarantees lawmakers the right to make unannounced visits to facilities for oversight.

“The administration very clearly violated the law,
which was agreed to by the president,
agreed to by both Houses of Congress,
establishing the legal right for members of Congress to access these facilities,”
said Peter Kenny, vice president of litigation and investigations with American Oversight.

The watchdog organization is one of the groups representing the lawmakers.

I keep seeing anti-vaxxers, freebirth advocates, etc., be like, “Well, what did babies do before modern medicine, then?!”

This. They did a lot of this.

Did you know in Iceland, it's illegal to have sex on Christmas Eve. You will be arrested if caught? Not sure about the other supermarkets though.
