Got to change prehistoric history to match the narrative as well now.
But lets remember this is coming from people who can't even define a woman.

Quote
Their study found that not only did prehistoric women engage in the practice of hunting, but their female anatomy and biology would have made them intrinsically better suited for it.

'Rather than viewing it as a way of erasing or rewriting history, our studies are trying to correct the history that erased women from it,' said Dr Cara Ocobock, lead author of the study.

Quote
The findings show that the female body is better suited for endurance activity, which would have been critical in early hunting.

The main reasons for this biological advantage are hormones - in this case, oestrogen and adiponectin, which are typically present in higher quantities in female bodies than in male.

Guess that's why trans-woman dominate actual women in sports. Oh wait...that doesn't fit the narrative
Quote
'With the typically wider hip structure of the female, they are able to rotate their hips, lengthening their steps,' Professor Ocobock added.

'The longer steps you can take, the "cheaper" they are metabolically, and the farther you can get, faster.

Lets just completely ignore the fact men's averages in running sports is on another level from woman's

You want to explain to them what the wider hips are actually for? Oh wait... men can have babies too, nevermind.

How about NO

Would YOU order one? Scientists claim we should rename vegan burgers 'Juicy American burgers' to make them more appealing to meat lovers

"Scientists". How embarrassing.

Changing to more appealing names for vegan faux meats might get more folks to order them.  Just once.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Lady Ballers | Official Trailer

New movie about to be released on Daily Wire.  Looks like a throw back to 90's comedies.  If it is funny, it doesn't matter who makes it.

Remember when the US was accusing the USSR and the Eastern Block in general of having biological men on women's Olympic teams and crying foul? My how times have changed.

That was back when they were found to be using anabolic steroids or something like that, right?

"Cognitive security" to ensure people think correctly. Wow - that is scary to me. It is well worth listening to this five minute testimony by Michael Shellenberger regarding what he found regarding the government's "disinformation security" and censorship strategy.

Buying 3 adjacent economy seats was cheaper than one First/Business class seat? Maybe. But she'd still have plenty of room - I still remember a (very) few occasions years ago when I enjoyed 3 seats to myself because of low passenger count.

Wrapping them all in plastic? That's either just plain nuts, or an ill-considered publicity stunt to get on YouTube or TikTok.

I've seen versions of that, but I have a hard time believing the airlines wouldn't notice that only one person checked in to three seats, and sell the other two seats to standby passengers, or the overbooked ones.

I haven't read all the fine print on a ticket, but I'd bet money somewhere in there it says that you have to check in an individual person for each seat or you forfeit the fare.

Nope, not the Babylon Bee
That one was from 2021

This one is from 2019 so not new

I don't fly enough to know, but I imagine there might be a way to buy 3 seats under 3 different names. Of course, the seats might be sold to others when the 2 fake passengers don't show up.

Not that MSN is a reliable source, but they're saying it's a dramatization of an actual event. Not sure where they get that information.

I suppose it labels me a nazi, but if someone is so weak that calling them by the wrong pronoun causes them to kill themselves, they were already too weak to live and were just an anchor on the human race and evolution.
