Christians and Catholics lumped together
This fellow is from North Carolina. It does seem mainly to be an American trope.
EDIT: PLEASE NOTE. The complaint about Christians and Catholics being lumped together is coming from the United Statesian dingus, not me! View the image!

[####] Wordle can't please everyone
Wordle can't make everyone happy
I'm hearing complaints that Wordle is doing repeats already after about 2000 puzzles, saying there are thousands more five letter words.
Bro, some players bled from the nostrils when Wordle used CAROM and RUPEE. If those words are too obscure, I'm not sure there would be a good reaction when they get to GRIKE, WOALD, and BRIZE.

You think that's bad...

Armin Mueller-Stahl
Remember the great streak that Armin Meuller-Stahl had in the late 1990s?
He began his film career at the age of 25 in 1956, and for 30 years mainly appeared in German and other Continental European films.
His first appearance in a prominent English-speaking production was in Amerika (1987), the miniseries about the USSR taking over the US.
But it was his role of Peter Helfgott in the Australian film Shine (1996) that earned him his Oscar nomination. After that there was a cavalcade of appearances in English-speaking media in supporting roles, including the following:
12 Angry Men (1997)
The Game (1997) with Michael Douglas
The Peacemaker (1997) with Clooney and Kidman
The X-Files (the movie, 1998)
The Thirteenth Floor (1999) with Vincent D'onofrio
Jakob the Liar (1999) with Robyn Williams
Mission to Mars (2000)
The Dust Factory (2004)
The West Wing (regular appearances as the Israeli PM)
The International (2009)
Angels and Demons (2009), alongside Tom Hanks
He is still alive, aged 95, but appears to have retired from acting.

I cannot get the joke because I don't know what SNUS is and Google doesn't help, and I don't recognise what's in the can.

I was looking at the list of Hebrew manuscripts from the 1st millennium AD.
There are plenty of sources discussing how, when the Ashkar-Gilson Manuscript showed up, it was quickly realised that it was from the same scroll as The London Manuscript that was once housed at
About the Ashkar-Gilson, there is an abundance of information about its discovery and provenance, its state, dimensions, description.
About The London Manuscript, not so much.
The book The Dead Sea Scrolls by Dr Peter W Flint (2013), which can be found in Google Books, mentions that is in the Stephan Loewentheil collection and now loaned to The Israel Museum. It says that it has been known "for some 60 years" (ie since approximately 1953).
Do any of you have more information about the circumstances in which it came to light?

A lot of Americans in the comments were seemingly shocked that an American didn't get free healthcare in Canada.
It's on Threads at 6ixbuzztv if you want fuller context.
