A Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Effrenate" with its pronunciation “(eh-FRIH-nayt)” and definition: “Unbridled, unrestrained, unruly, or excessively wild.” Below is an example sentence describing someone as an “effrenate nuisance.” On the right side, a detailed black-and-white illustration shows a mischievous, wild-looking person wearing a zany assembly of old-fashioned cleaning tools like a broom and brush, etc. giving the semblance of a knight on horseback.

Effrenate [eh-FRIH-nayt]
(adj.)
- Unbridled, unrestrained, unruly, or excessively wild.

From Latin “effrēnātus” (let loose, unbridled)

Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

found myself considering a legal explainer about why the government can’t lie their way into a residence to kidnap someone and then was like wait why the fuck would I need to explain that

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

LOTS of people need to read more Twain. He's got things to say about that whole "God on our side" thing.
