A picture of the character Martha at a public phone in the show The Americans

It's wild Alison Wright never won an Emmy for The Americans. Martha is such a complex, fascinating character and Wright plays her SO well.

There is literally no way to find a real life fox that attractive and that’s sort of the dealbreaker for folks, most real life foxes just want to eat chickens and not be sexy

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy. Two of Onfim’s works.  On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork.  On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.” Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands. Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

At a local immigrant rights group presentation, the message was "to be an ally, you have to decenter yourself and do the unspectacular work you are told needs doing." SO MANY of the questions ignored that central message. It's so ingrained for white folks to center themselves!

That angle was pre-prepared by the Swedes. It's not a usual angle. The Canadians didn't know this angle existed. It's usually from the front where it's impossible to see a touch.
The Swedes stated in the post-match interview that they made it into a big deal because the Canadians have done this before in other games.
The refs never act and they wanted to force them to more actively rule the games.
The Swedes can be heard during the game saying that "it's fine, Magnus is recording", refering to a guy from Swedish television operating the camera from that angle.
This was pre-planned and expected.
It's the reason why Oskar is so confident that it's on camera.

Almost Spring

39 people found dead in the back of a refrigerated truck near 
London were likely from Vietnam, said a priest from the rural,
rice-growing community where many of the victims are believed
to have come. -- Reuters

Anna Bui Thi Nhung, 19, posts on her Facebook page
and a friend responds, asks how the trip is going.

Not good, Nhung writes back. Almost spring, she adds, 
a Vietnamese phrase meaning close to one's destination.

She had meant to find work in a nail salon.
The driver told inspectors he was hauling frozen biscuits.

In Nghe An Province, a mother is unable to rise from her bed.

Another kid claimed that tigers were girl lions. I told her she was wrong. When we appealed to the grown up on the bus, the grown up (probably actually a teen) said tigers were indeed girl lions. Still mad!

a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides him In the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal.

And then – unprompted – he made an admission:

– And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.

One of my most woke opinions: France needs to pay back all the money they made Haiti pay for their independence (with interest).
