"Flüssig" is more to do with general fluency of expression/delivery, "fließend" is more fluency in a language. I have heard the former applied to the latter (as in this case) but it sounds wrong to me.

Except that justice has been subverted and corrupted in the US, just like government, and morality.

The Onion launches new bid to take over Alex Jones’ Infowars and turn it into a parody platform Satirical news site The Onion said it has reached an agreement to take over conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' InfoWars company.

ground.news/article/the-...
The Onion won the IP known as InfoWars when it was auctioned off to pay the Sandy Hook families that Alex Jones TERRORIZED after their children were massacred. Alex Jones sued to stop the Onion from taking InfoWars. He lost. 🤣 The NEW InfoWars will be a Satire Site. 😂

Same. It's part of the reason I moved to Australia. Well, the BS with titles is a symptom of part of the reason ...

Although expectations of him as PM were far from high at the start, he still had a huge amount of goodwill going for him, and it's almost as though he's deliberately pissed it down the drain. Why???

My mind went straight to Doctor Who and the Ice Warriors.

Good to hear! My daughter, born with various disabilities, had 3 major operations under the NHS, plus 7 years of excellent primary healthcare & follow-ups. The cost to me? Zero.

We then moved to Australia: 2 spinal fusions, both huge ops by the country's finest surgeons (as with UK). Also free.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

Exactly. Wealth hoarding is a type of psychopathy.

This is also imperilling scientists' livelihoods in other countries such as Australia, where we rely on US research and development to save and improve lives here and in the wider Pacific region. (But at least nobody here has to rely on their employer for healthcare.)

They're systematically destroying the country to clear the way for the rapture/Armageddon/second coming, or whatever they're calling it now.

I just can't imagine why they think Jesus is going to give them favourable treatment when they deliberately break his commandments every single day.

The Dems need to pick their next candidate carefully or there won't be any celebrations.

Yep. Hard to tell if it's really getting worse, though, or whether social media just amplifies the unspeakable.

The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.

I write things down as they occur to me on the magnetic mini whiteboard on the fridge, then just before I leave, I take a photo. Doesn't stop the impulse purchases, of course 🤣

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Unfortunately it's long since been corrupted by the far right.

It's also safe to assume that anyone with an Australian flag as their profile pic is a racist.

I'll never forget the satisfaction of winding that last little section back successfully, or the despair when it didn't work 😔

The misogynists (like my leftwing ex) would only find another excuse to object to her. The Dems will go for a straight white guy with a trad background and square jaw, at least 6ft tall.

They spell (& pronounce) most things wrong!

My daughter's dad is American, and visits her occasionally. He messes up most Aus names because he won't bother checking the pronunciation. She set a trap for him by taking him to Lake Cathie, and waited for him to say it. Then she fell about laughing 🤣🤣🤣

Americans don't know what a "litre" is.
