Our university could use "viewpoint diversity" mandates to hire more people who think that knowledge, research, science, and understanding really have no place in the neolib academy at all.

Ok, people:
1. Recording your conversations? Gross and creepy.
2. For heavens sake make your own pasta sauce. It's easy, and the stuff that is sold in jars should only be given to people as punishment for a criminal offence.

Vučić zamolio građane da uplate 100 evra za legalizaciju, „jer će izgubiti papir“ ako ne plate Predsednik Srbije Aleksandar Vučić prisustvao je danas otvaranju železničkog mosta u Tomaševcu koji će zameniti stari most preko Tamiša koji spaja Orlovat i Tomaševac, a nalazi se na jednokolosečnoj, ...

But srsly now, Starmer's defence was that he does not control the government of which he is the titular head?

Starmer didn't resign? Ajme, nobody resigns anymore. Not our VC, not him, not the smorgasbord of repellent submediocrities and crooks who are now governing the USA.

Help! We are out of fenugreek.

Ok je, ali za razumjevanje čega?

Yeah, last time I ate in a restaurant there I had čorbast pasulj, kupus salata, and pivo, it was like 15 or 20 Euros. Not mindboggling, but more than I was accustomed to.
