thing abolitionist

I fully support Olivia Nuzzi having all the sex she wants with people she’s not reporting on. Slut it up, girl!

got lost on the way to the microsoft offices?

Another student asked Ms Matthews about orgasms and how many girls can have, to which the teacher responded: ‘Girls can have eight orgasms but boys only have one which is up their bum.’

sacked for telling the truth, it's political correctness gone mad!

well worth reading the article, brightened up my day

there is no bigger red flag than a guy who likes trump but REALLY likes vance

B2 Descriptors calibrated at Level B2 represent quite a break with the content so far. For example at the lower end of the band there is a focus on effective argument: account for and sustain his opinions in discussion by providing relevant explanations, arguments and comments; explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options; develop an argument giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view; take an active part in informal discussion in familiar contexts, commenting, putting point of view clearly, evaluating alternative proposals and making and responding to hypotheses. Secondly, running right through the level there are two new focuses. The first is being able to more than hold your own in social discourse: e.g. understand in detail what is said to him/her in the standard spoken language even in a noisy environment; initiate discourse, take his turn when appropriate and end conversation when he/she needs to, though he/she may not always do this elegantly; interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without imposing strain on either party. The second new focus is a new degree of language awareness: correct mistakes if they have led to misunderstandings; make a note of “favourite mistakes” and consciously monitor speech for it/them; generally correct slips and errors if he/she becomes conscious of them

not sure how helpful the a level comparison is, i mean i guess this is what you would expect of an a level student?

Gonna start a thread of articles I re-read every time I have an excuse, because after this thread I am thinking a lot about @cormacmccafe.bsky.social‬'s "No Yanks on the Thread" piece.

Feel free to add your own.

we will look back on this fondly come mid march next year

everyone is rightly pointing out the abuse of the y axis but what gets me is the lack of a range of values for the forecast.

even if she was a saint before, the fact she immediately turned around and leveraged it to try and get the us to do a coup is pretty awful

so what exactly are the numbers? no of people joining a public sector teachers' union?

you'd inhale it in one you sick puppy

the behind the bastards ep on eugene talmadge is excellent. that fascist southern governor really was the proto trump. stupid, gigantic ego, personalist rule, marshall law, the whole lot

i believe the technical term is folie à deux

no matter how smart or careful you are you are cooking your cranium to some extent if you regularly interact with a chatbot

do we need any more evidence at this point that the nobel peace prize is a black mark on your record? the forbes 30 under 30 list is less problematic

nobel peace prize winner dedicating her award to trump and calling for him to coup the venezuelan government? it will be a bloodless change of regime I'm sure.

i mean yes this is bluesky

mobility scooters keep getting bigger

i listen to some languages and they don't sound language shaped. philologically they wear a toupee and have an oversized coat on. Dutch was my go to example but I'm finding Welsh has this quality as well.
