Yup. He's just proving the point: don't try to force people to say words they don't want to (Black, transwoman, non-binary, climate emergency, etc) it's bloody annoying isn't it?— TheEducator (@DanExplainsIt) February 17, 2025
The AP aren't real journalists any way, they are leftist propagandists. There is no fighting the Gulf of America, it is what it is.— Easy did it (@Ezekial725) February 17, 2025

Don't use the term mistress for a woman who is in a long-term sexual relationship with, and is financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else. Instead, use an alternative like companion, friend or lover on first reference and provide additional details later.— APStylebook (@APStylebook) April 13, 2021
We added this guidance last year; it's not new. We understand it's problematic that the alternative terms fall short. But we felt that was better than having one word for a woman and none for the man, and implying that the woman was solely responsible for the affair.— APStylebook (@APStylebook) April 14, 2021
Are we still allowed to use the word "corpse", or is it "formerly alive human"?— TerribleSwift (@wmcarterelliott) April 14, 2021
it carries a negative connotation ...because it should. if the situation doesnt fit that term use another. but this one describes the situation in most cases just fine.— DragonSire (@DragonSireMods) April 14, 2021
Don't use the term journalism for an organization that redefines language.— Joshua Lisec, Ghostwriter (@JoshuaLisec) April 13, 2021
As a journalist i will continue to call them mistresses because thats what they are— dr. z, esq. (@zeynepmyenisey) April 13, 2021
She is an Adulteress. As Orwell pointed out in 1984, the State’s greatest tool is to destroy language. Newspeak.— Eric Conn (@Eric_Conn) April 13, 2021
Do you have a story about why you want this, and what positive outcome you expect? Otherwise it seems like a random edict. Are there people compelled to follow the AP Style Book, as amended on Twitter? Or do you just throw these edicts out there and hope for the best?— Tim Freeman (@ovjocm) April 14, 2021

Frits Bolkestein overleden, op 91 jarige leeftijd. Hij signeerde ooit een door hem geschreven toneelstuk ‘Floris, count of Holland’ voor mij, toen ik nog als student-acteur op de toneelacademie Maastricht zat.

Frits Bolkestein was een messcherpe intellectueel die zijn stempel drukte op de Nederlandse politiek. Als klassiek rechtse liberaal stond hij mede aan de basis van het Paarse kabinet met sociaaldemocraten en sociaalliberalen. Gecondoleerd en sterkte aan zijn familie en dierbaren. https://t.co/RpxqJnb7UZ— Rob Jetten (@RobJetten) February 18, 2025
Anders dan in zijn eerste ambstermijn gebruikt Trump nu alle middelen die hij tot zijn beschikking heeft om kritische media dwars te zitten. De rechtszaken die hij aanspant hebben een huiveringwekkend effect op de hele mediasector. https://t.co/SDdK9OWpam— NRC (@nrc) February 18, 2025
Was Bolkestein de wegbereider van Fortuyn, Wilders en Baudet? (Trouw). Hij kon kwaad worden om die vraag. Maar het antwoord is natuurlijk volmondig "ja". pic.twitter.com/KCqtB1q37T— Peter van Heemst (@petervheemst) February 18, 2025
Our country is covered under a canopy of darkness. We grope in the dark to bathe, drive through pitched darkness, and alas, to work, in the dark.

Are you sure, sir? Let's talk data. There are more Sierra Leoneans with access to energy than ever before. Let's not take our privilege for granted.

Wat een verdriet. Een groot staatsman die niet alleen in ons land, maar ook ver daarbuiten voorop liep met zijn vooruitziende blik. Een inspiratie en mentor voor velen.
