Silly question. The world's survival is not under threat - unless russia is allowed to win.

Ukraine is sovereign and has no need to sacrifice anything in its fight against an illegal colonial invasion by a murderous neighbour.

This. Just this.

Finally, after 1000 days of russia's murderous invasion, we must give Ukraine everything it needs.

Their frontline is our frontline.

There's a lot more active and proactive content moderation apparently - presumably to exclude the fake/extreme views that fester in the other place.

Scouser refers to anyone from Liverpool, not just football fans. It's not a derogatory term, Scousers use it themselves.

"Back to square one" is a phrase with an apparent football origin dating back to the early days on radio commentary. Pitch divided into squares to aid listeners understanding of where play was. The goalkeeper occupied square one and the phrase denotes a back pass to the keeper.

Callum good and saved our blushes. Other positives: despite our recent dip in form, we are still 3rd in the league, 1/3rd of the way through the season. Also we are significantly outperforming where most of us thought we would be this season, and still a team that can compete.

It's quite a ballache to re-create what was a very finely curated list of follows and feeds from the Other Place... but it also feels quite liberating, and this isn't the fake/toxic/lying/racist/anti-intellectual environment the birdie has become.

Any tips tips to shortcut the process?

Time Traveler by Merriam-Webster: Words from 1984 See which words were first recorded in 1984. Or search for other words by the year when they were first used.

1973 was clearly a vintage year.

My new words included:

bikini wax
duct tape
gender expression
kneecapping
radial cleavage
super-spreader
urgent care

All in all that sounds quite a wild night out....

Well, I suppose we should start with "Hello World" shouldn't we...
