Correct. My example for another necessary intervention would be YouTube. That’s a space in which Google does have a monopoly.

Let the darn woman rest in peace already! Y’all just hopin’ to keep mooching off her pension.

The Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster disagree with you. Yes, the primary meaning of the word fly is moving through the air on wings, but they explicitly say space travel can also be called flying. Also this was about the man flying through space, not the craft.

Push him from a spaceship and he will fly even longer.

Sounds like a basket of deplorables to me.

I like the idea of not yielding semantic authority to fascists. Like here in Germany, I’ve seen (minor) shitstorms over the phrase “to each their own” (“Jedem das Seine”) because the Nazis put that on the gate of Buchenwald concentration camp. But the principle of “suum cuique” goes way back to ancient times and is a central tenet of our legal system. So why should we let Nazis dictate what the words we use mean?

That said, they coined a whole bunch of expressions that are rightfully frowned upon to this day and I have no issue with that kind of criticism. I’ve never felt the need to label anyone’s relationship as “racial shame,” for instance.

Just my two cents.

FYI the “.ML” does not stand for Millesian Liberalism.

MFW He wants me to be with Him in His heavenly kingdom.

F zodica sounds like a disease. 😅

Wow, Eugene Cernan really should have dedicated that moment to Lucretius instead of Galileo.

Bye Francis!

$750m? That company worth about three fiddy.

I actually just bought a saddlebag for my bike which was cheaper because it has a (rather inconspicuous) company logo on it.
