Well.

Not only was the US peace plan not a peace plan, it was from Russia and not the US.

Soon midnight in Kyiv.
No power,
but I promised myself not to complain – we must show resilience now.
Calm.
Generously dark outside.

One day at a time.

You’re all A.i., and I’m onto you.

A terrible photo of a keyboard obfuscated by blurred fingers.

Taking shit pix remains a skill unknown to A.i..

I am hoooooman!

It’s yours isn’t it, Doctor Robert.

I can’t see your pix.

I agree that he does cover the Negro Leagues but it still deserves a series to itself.

A cartoon pickle is standing in a jar. The look on his face indicates he has either just farted or is pantsless and enjoying it.

Please allow me to share this pickle, who clearly is not wearing pants.

"...my full name is Uzoamaka, which means "The road is good." Quick lesson: My tribe is Igbo, and you name your kid something that tells your history and hopefully predicts your future... I was the first in roll call, and nobody ever knew how to pronounce it. So I went home and asked my mother if I could be called Zoe. I remember she was cooking, and in her Nigerian accent she said, "Why?" I said, "Nobody can pronounce it." Without missing a beat, she said, "If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michelangelo and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka."

“If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michaelangelo and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka.”

Two women dancing in white at a wonderful wedding in Ireland.

This photo took me a while to frame. A wedding in Boris, Ireland.

'Teacher refuses to learn my real name so I got revenge' A woman has blasted her teacher for purposely calling her by the wrong name simply because she 'couldn't be bothered' to learn how to pronounce it correctly - and people say she did the right thing

I'm an educator and don't claim to be perfect. I have forgotten names, or taken too long to learn them. It's difficult when you meet a large number of new students at the same time. But deliberately changing someone's name because you find it "difficult" is totally unacceptable.

If Phil Collin had met Connie Planck (sp) after Something in the Air, we would like Phil.

Not the point, I know, but what's the deal with Sweet Caroline and all these different teams claiming it as "their" song?

Love that alt text!

Cool cat too.

he ancient city of Crosschester used its history like Cleopatra selective history were its lifeblood. It fed off the faithless payments of tourists who had superseded but not entirely replaced the subscriptions of pilgrims from a thousand years before. Like Cleopatra's baths, however, the longer it lay there, the more the milk softened its body, the more time it took to shower and scrub away the sourness, and the feeling that everything was forever held under a thin layer of white scum. Modernity would occasionally mount an assault on Crosschester but it would inevitably be forced back out to the big cities, or to Abroad where it had come from, leaving only shallow scratches behind. The local newspaper reported cattle auctions, garden parties, cricket scores and jumble sales. Crime and dread happened somewhere else.

Somewhere around here my granny Plunkett met my grandad Murphy. She lived around here. He lived in the British army barracks. It was 1920.

Our Lake District guide on Lake Windemere. I forgot his name, I am a bad man.

Took me a while to frame this photo.

Mine. Obviously mine.

@davidleavitt.bsky.social hi, David. Thanks for the follow. I hope it's you and not an unresponsive marketing bot.

Anybody fancy joining 'X' and then leaving a month later to screw with Elon's share price?

It could be a monthly thing.

PS: I know nothing about stocks.

Anybody else going to the Authenticate People Awards tonight want to share a cab?

I'm running late, and I'm one of the authenticators! What am I like!?

A link would be good please.

Now you tell me.

It's about time he did one on the Negro Leagues or on Roberto Clemente at least.

My forms of introversion and social anxiety are evolutionarily related to that one creature who crawled from the sea.

The rest of my cohort flittered onto the beach feeling 'well-human bro'' .

I took one look and headed right back into the sea and my comfortable sandbank hole.

That scene in Wolf of Wall Street where Di Caprio and the others are all laughing because they’re being rich & disgusting but it’s me because I’m in bed at 8pm wearing nice pyjamas & drinking tea
