We’ve got a poll going in Discord. Peter Thiel was the frontrunner before the mods did a bot purge; now the American people seemingly want Hornet from Silksong.

It looks from the head of the post like there was once a top pole.

Probably got damaged from someone sitting on it or climbing over. Or someone interpreting the “dispose of trash” sign too enthusiastically.

*boucey – they’re Irish, not Scotch

He rejected the Polish government’s offer to send a member of the Polish foreign office along with him, on the basis that he thinks they’ll offend Trump and his officials.

Ok, now we’re cooking with gas! They cite The Sharks of North America (Castro, 2011) which says:

The name “nurse” comes from “nusse,” meaning fish, which appears in print as early as 1440 in the Promptorium Parvulorum, an early English/Latin dictionary. […] “Nuses were there so plentie, that they would scarcely suffer any other fish to come neere the hookes” (Hakluyt 1589).

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “nusse” is derived from the earlier “huss,” the ancient name for the catsharks

The Promptorium Parvulorum has an entry for husk:

Husk of fyshe: Squamus, -i; Masc.,

with a note against that entry:

‘Huske, fyshe,’ Harl, some kind of fish.

• ‘Hush, the Lump, a fish,’ JAMIESON.
• ‘Husse, a fysshe : rousette,’ PALSGRAVE.
• ‘Huss, the dogfish,’ HALLIWELL.

So we have to trust the OED about the transformation from huss to nuss. I guess it could be the classic misdivision/rebracketing (“an huss” becoming “a nuss”) that gives us “nickname” and “newt”.

Did you find any convincing linguistic or etymological source for nusse? I can find a lot of near-verbatim articles repeating it, including the NatGeo article you’ve linked, but nothing independent and scholarly about the word.

Did some quick reading on this. A few articles linked back to Belgian news site 7sur7, so I’m referencing that article here:

• The group who did this was Stop Arming Israel, not Palestine Action.
• They targeted OIP Land Systems because they’re a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, who are a major manufacturer of weapons sold to Israel.
• OIP used to sell military vehicles to Israel, but haven’t for a couple of decades.
• The result was a one-month delay in delivering the vehicle shipment to Ukraine.
• The CEO described the activists as “sympathisants du Hamas”, which personally makes me mistrust anything else he says.

I don’t mean to condone the damage they did - Ukraine needs all it can get - but it would be easy to read your message and think they’d deliberately taken action to hurt the Ukraine defence effort by raiding a company unconnected with Israel’s genocide.

Doubtful, but it could perhaps be The Nightmare Stacks by Charlie Stross?

Do we have any evidence or indication of that, other than this one spurious article?

The New Yorker has an article limit, but their entire article is just this BlueSky post. Image follows.

I’m confused, what was the injury? Did you launch the rock into the air and it came straight back down?

Happy Indepedence Day! Because you can write “independence” without three Ns!

Not to mention that they were happily selling Kanye West’s Nazi clothing until the press and social media called them out for it.

Things I’d want to know before deciding for myself whether the screenshot montage is real, regardless of whether Trump shared it (he did):

• Have we seen other screenshots where Trump use enormous font sizes? Is that how bigger system text looks in this app? He’s not exactly youthful, so it’s no great surprise, but worth asking the question.
• Is it realistic that Trump or an aide would have screenshotted the entire message within two minutes of it being received?
• Does this messaging app routinely display the contact name offset and the profile image vertically cropped? What app is it?

And skins, tanned, stitched, and treated with resin. Pottery is also an ancient skill.

Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.

I agree about the latter, he’s a centrist Democrat at best, but he’s got a lot at stake directly opposing the Trump administration on their latest actions as the US slips into dictatorship, and I’d hardly call that cowardice.
