Political economy must begin with a recognition of the inherently conflictual nature of international relations. The nation is, as early mercantilists held, the key unit of political-economic analysis.
[…] it is necessary for political economists who wish to be similarly critical to be self-conscious of their method of theorizing as much as they are self-conscious of their political-economic theory and its concepts so that those concepts, and even the theory itself, do not become static but instead remain perpetually critical.

Cisalpine
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Topics: Catholicism
Christianity
Roman-Catholicism
Etymology: The adjective is derived from cisalpine (“on this side of the Alps (chiefly the south side where Rome is located)”). Adjective sense 2 (“of or pertaining to cisalpinism”) was popularized by the Cisalpine Club which was founded in England in 1792.
The noun is derived from the adjective.

pos: noun

pos: noun

pos: noun
tags: UK
historical
examples: Some of the Cisalpines carried their opposition to the monastic orders so far as to be very unfriendly to the French émigrées nuns, for whose expulsion from England Sir J. Mildmay introduced a Bill in 1800.
But the Cisalpines began to be overshadowed by the ultramontane spirit in the 1830s, and it was not until after the Second Vatican Council a hundred and thirty years later that English Roman Catholics again asked themselves whether they were primarily English or primarily Roman.
Just as with the Blackloists and Jansenists (and perhaps even more so), suspicion of the supernatural came to characterize the Cisalpines, although this time it had little to do with their doctrine of grace and more to do with the Cisalpines’ desire to make Catholicism comprehensible to a sceptical age.

Senses:
gloss: A post published on the French social media app BeReal, consisting of photos from both the front and back cameras of a user's phone, providing a visual depiction of what they are doing in that moment.
pos: noun
examples: Once a day you get a notification from the app. It tells you that it's time to post your BeReal for the day and you have two minutes to do so. […] Users can also see where their friends are on a map and discover other publicly posted BeReals.
While scrolling through BeReals in the past few weeks, I’ve occasionally felt gripped by loneliness. Seeing others partying, hanging out with friends, or curled up on the couch with their significant others, framed as everyday slices of life, elicited a more intense fear of missing out than I’ve ever felt on Instagram.
BeReal is driven by the desire to be "authentic" online, which is oxymoronic even on the app itself. For example, you can post late BeReals when you actually want to document your current surroundings, and you can retake photos as well.
This BeReal is going to be epic. Worshippers in the seats around me swipe open the app, hold their phones high, and angle for the perfect two-way shot that will frame their selfies with the famous figure who brought them here tonight: Sadie Robertson Huff—reality star, mega-influencer, and America’s foremost spiritual ambassador for feminine submission.
What happens to your BeReal after you post it?
All of your BeReals are archived for you to see. One of the best features of BeReal is being able to see a collection of your daily posts.
gloss: To use the social media app BeReal.
pos: verb
tags: intransitive
examples: BeReal loves to notify me when I’m doing something mundane like heating up beans in the microwave or wiping down my salt lamp with a damp cloth. This can be solved very simply by turning off your notifications and only BeReal-ing when you’re doing something genuinely interesting like, I don’t know, singing karaoke or holding a puppy.

I knew that when it came down to the word of a lawyer versus the word of a doper ex-con, I was going to get ass-blasted every time. I’m a gangster so why would anyone believe me?
Even if you've never had any negative consequences from drug use other than getting ass-blasted by Johnny Law, these cocksuckers will call you a "functional addict."

The gameplay is pretty tough at times, considering the age of the WAD. While it’s not slaughter-styled, it does pose a threat thanks to the usage of tight corridors, high density of enemies and monster positioning, which requires to pay a slight degree of attention to avoid getting ass blasted into oblivion.

Megatron
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: Blend of Meghan + -tron (influenced in form by Megatron, a fictional character among the Transformers, whose name was influenced by megatron, mega-, M, and -tron).
Base: Meghan
Affixes: -tron
Inflected forms:
form: Megatronz
pos: noun

form: Megatrons
pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: A fan of American singer-songwriter and television personality Meghan Trainor (born 1993).
pos: noun
tags: slang
examples: Megatronz, check out Meghan Trainor's 'Lips Are Movin' video here, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the vid below!
The attention span of the #Megatrons, as Trainor has christened her fans, presumably falls somewhere between the six-second length of a Vine and the 15-second limit on an Instagram video.
But when L.A. Reid, CEO of Epic Records, heard “That Bass,” he fell in love with Meghan’s empowering, in-your-face lyrics—as did all her fans (hey, Megatronz!), who have clicked on her YouTube video roughly 500 million times.
It was “Title” – which Trainor later deemed “the best song of the night” – that had the singer seemingly marvelling at her “Megatronz,” who sang the whole way through.
From then on, it’s wall-to -all hits as she leads a full backing band and troupe of dancers, and has her ‘Megatrons’ – her largely pre-teen fanbase – in the palm of her hand.
Lots of Megatronz may have missed this relationship, or fling if you want to call it, because it was so quick.
It’s extremely clear that Trainor respects and loves her Megatrons as much as they do her.
This is a major moment for us Megatronz! Our Grammy-winning icon is keeping us fed!
