Can't wait for Spořilov!

At least in Polish (where I've also heard it) it makes more sense orthographically!

Look, man, you can just be Protestant.

The economic tradeoff between America and Europe is that America has much more expensive costs for essentials like health care but much more (relatively) affordable consumer goods. Once that's out the window, whew.

A text mostly in Computer Modern reading: \multirowsetup Just before ⟨text⟩ is expanded, the \multirowsetup macro is expanded to set up any special environment. Initially, \multirowsetup contains just \raggedright. It may be redefined with \renewcommand.

I love it when my LaTeX problem ("why is my multirow cell ragged right instead of justified") can be answered by reading the documentation.

2025 version of the NYC subway map

Say hello to a new subway map! 🗺️

Today, the MTA unveiled a new subway diagram that provides riders with essential travel information in an easily readable, bright, and orderly manner.

The balls and strikes metaphor is also good, though not in the way Roberts intended: although they're supposed to be fair, umpires give harsher strike zones to lefties.

Gonna start calling golden milk a "spiced babyccino".

Yes, but as far as I understand it, it took a real period of sustained protests there before it went fully nationwide (that is, centered in Belgrade as you say).

The Serbian protests started in Novi Sad.

A sizable crowd waits to squeeze into a blue tram pulling into its terminus.

Two months after its long-awaited reopening and one month after apparently missing its projected date for returning to full capacity, the Trieste-Opčina tram, now running once every 45 minutes, is a big draw for locals and tourists alike on a mild spring Sunday.

Ron Darling praising Lindor's fundamentals in practice, we're back baby!

The common clipping of "casual" is another good one IMO.

The Lorax is all about propaganda of the thneed

Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Also, I don't have too much experience with Czech dubbing in general but I do really appreciate that they localized some of the references in Simpsons episode titles (The Regina Monologues -> Obtěžoval jsem anglickou královnu, Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em -> Kladivo na Homera)

Forgive me, it was my Czech friend years ago who was being unfair, I should have double-checked. 🙂

Not always true, the Czech translation of HP is generally praised for creative name translations (especially in comparison to the Slovak one, which left the English names alone).

think it's important everyone understands what is happening on tiktok: right now, people are making increasingly ridiculous lebron-centric covers of songs. it is getting weirder by the day. see here:

For many years until last week I thought Travis Scott was the lead singer of Gym Class Heroes who had gone solo.

Does anyone know anything (or know anyone who would know anything) about the cross-border connections between Ukraine and Romania in Zakarpattya/Maramureș? They were reopened in 2023 (see article) but trains were cancelled a few months later. Will they be back? www.aviation24.be/railways/ukr...

Well, also, people watch the Olympics for feats of athleticism, not charisma. A strategy explicitly rejecting athleticism undermines the enterprise.

I Teach Jewish Studies. There’s a Bitter Irony to What the Trump Administration Is Asking of My Campus. Students were willing to be honest in class. Now they're worried.

I published a piece yesterday about the impossibility of teaching Jewish Studies at this moment in history, and in particular how ridiculous it is to try to teach Jewish History amidst bans on DEI: slate.com/life/2025/03...

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it

Most Men Don't Want To Be Heroes (And That's Okay) Despite the self-pity of some, there has never been a better time to be a man.

“This is one reason why conservatives (and fellow travelers like Arnade) hate liberalism so much: free choice disproves their biological essentialism.”

A trans refugee's court case against Hungary just improved Trans+ rights across all of Europe A landmark case at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on Thursday set a significant precedence for Trans+ rights across Europe.

LOL wow a dude just argued in the EU courts that misgendering is a GDPR violation and he *won*.

Researching concentration camps, I often saw governments justify atrocities and genocide against a violent opposition by saying "they would do worse to us if they could," without acknowledging that these opponents lacked any real capacity to rival the level of state violence that had been unleashed.

Schumer's whole plan, in his words, is "I am focused on bringing Trump’s numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," but when asked about specifics like Columbia & Khalil, he leaps to Trump's defense while admitting he doesn't even know the details.
