I did see her described as far right in L'Humanite. I know it's the paper of the left (like the Morning Star here) but still

And, of course, sex.

The post WWII German experience suggests sex will not be bartered at a premium.  After all, an apocalypse would not interrupt the supply.

I wanted to read the news articles to find out more about this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner.  One thing I learned about her is that she's not Trump.  Still going through them to see if I can learn anything else.

I am very confused by the oh wow it wasn't Trump angle.

It is incredible how much everyone is under this guy's spell. As if there was even the remotest chance that a destructive aggressive asshole would get it.

Including the winner, it seems...

We're probably definitely going to overthrow Maduro now...

Ireland put up quite a good fight in Lisbon. Selecção reverting to its bad ways, I guess.
Portugal 1 Ireland 0
Goal scored by Rúben Neves in stoppage time. Ronaldo missed a penalty or rather a great save by the Irish goalkeeper, Kelleher.

Lots of penalties missed, even Haaland missed one, earlier in the day.

Italy 3 Estonia 1

Nice fluke by the Italian goalkeeper, without consequences.

I believe his "argument" was again being more about Tylenol than the circumcision itself...so that is kind of a mix of RFK nuttery and misleading reporting.

His statement was a direct one about circumcision, and an indirect one about Tylenol. The reporting is quoting him and so not misleading.

Quoting can be misleading as well if done out of context.  That's especially so for incoherent or rambling people who may require a very large context window for their quotes to be interpreted as intended.

I am not sure what point you are making here. What do you believe RFK Jr intended us to take from his statement, and how can you tell that that is what he intended?

incoherence is best translated by incoherent people?
