What are your thoughts on a Russian poetry prize banning entries from transgender people? Why is Russia so transphobic?

At least the Tories aren’t openly fellating Putin the way the Republicans are.

Russia seems hell-bent on re-inventing itself as a mustache-twirling cartoon villain on the world stage, in every possible dimension: economically, politically, militarily, socially. Their overarching aim seems to be, “Is it pointlessly malevolent? Yeah yeah yeah, let’s do that!”

And for whatever reason, today’s Republican and Tory parties seem to be all about “ooh, that Putin is so dreamy, we sure do like that, let’s do the same thing!”

Why is the French way to say please is "S'il te plaît" and not "Pour Favour" like Spanish and Portuguese "Per Favor" and Italian "Per Favore" in the Romance languages group?
