Good. Judges have decided the #Netherlands has to stop sending F35 parts to Israel

They are using it for war crimes so.. that's not done

It's time #Israel is gonna stop it's terror attacks

Once again, my favourite linguistics thing.

A calque is a word or words borrowed from another language whole being translated.

A loanword is a word borrowed from another language without the spelling, at least, being changed.

"Calque" is a loanword of the French "calque".

"Loanword" is a calque of the German "Lehnwort"

Funny how people always go with the classic,

"If you're not doing anything wrong, you should have nothing to hide."

over a far more sensible:

"If I'm not doing anything wrong, you should have no reason to spy on me."

My fav take on the Orcas Attacking Boats thing is that this is just… like, what they’re into this year.
Orcas have fads and trends.
A few years ago, for a season, they liked to wear a dead salmon on their head. For fun.

Orca memes are on another level.
