@AlliFlowers in that instance, it's understandable. Perhaps more the relation itself. An 'ex' is personal and directly connected vs. someone you don't know (former president, former head of XYZ Company, etc.)
@Deacon That seems like a good rule.
@virtualtoby@poboy.social That works with relationships. Now do presidents. 😉
@Deacon That’s what I was thinking. But we use them interchangeably all the time as in with former president and ex-president.
@MessagingMatters @MKSinSA That follows with my “simple solution:” https://talkedabout.social/@AlliFlowers/110335752187656201
Why do we sometimes say “former” and other times say “ex?”
He’s my ex-boyfriend.
He’s my former boyfriend.
What is the difference? What should the difference be?

@GottaLaff More like McConnell’s list of concerns starts and ends with his own pursuit of power (and money).

Kids can learn about bleeding from gunshot wounds but not menstruation? Sounds republican.

@retrohondajunki@mstdn.social @ambulocetus@qoto.org Maybe we can breed out their hate. Hate is taught.
@ambulocetus@qoto.org BUT…we have to start somewhere.

@TonyStark You can't remove a non-viable fetus, but it's ok to let pregnant women die just so some state legislators and a religious nut governor get to say they're against abortion in all cases. FFS.

@ambulocetus@qoto.org Beating them in an election will lead them to hide in the shadows. All they want is power, so if we take that away from them, they’ll go away.

TWO HUNDRED and EIGHT *infrastructure weeks* with tfg & co
Biden passed a BIPARTISAN infrastructure bill in FORTY ONE WEEKS!
Contribution or retribution?
The choice is OURS!
