What’s Your “WHY?” 😂🐱#polyglot #langsky

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

A French University is funding a Safe Place For Science program meant to recruit scientists who cannot continue their work in the US. www.univ-amu.fr/fr/public/a...

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged more military aid, as well as the possibility of weapons and boots on the ground, to secure peace in Ukraine.

Every accusation is an intention.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

Duo — full name Duo Keyshauna Renee Lingo — was born in 1000 BC, according to Duolingo "Tbh, he probably died waiting for you to do your lesson, but what do we know." 😂😂😂

What bothers me most about the “speak English. You’re in ‘Merica” crowd is that ENGLISH IS SUCH A BASTARD LANGUAGE!! 80% of the language is ripped off from other languages. Up to 350 other languages contributed to what we call “English” 😐 #langsky #polyglotsky www.dictionary.com/e/borrowed-w...

I did tune in for the halftime show. Kendrick performing “Not Like Us” and calling Drake a pedophile in front of 100M plus viewers live at the Super Bowl is the energy I’m here for. Someone might want to check on Drake’s mental health after that.

Actually, that is precisely what the legislative branch is supposed to do.

This energy.

At least Rome was sacked by cool dudes like the Visigoths instead of incels with bad haircuts and disheveled clothes.

Researchers from Griffith University have found similarities between whale song & human language. “Human language & whale song are both culturally learned, so whales learn the songs from the other whales that they spend time with," says Dr Jenny Allen. Read more: tinyurl.com/4j2euhhe #langsky

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.” Alexander Vindman www.avindman.com/p/hostile-ta...

This is Bolt. He's just wondering when dinner is. No rush though. 12/10

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Beyonce winning Best Country Album at the Grammys gonna piss off allll the right people.

Trump has so far blamed the deadly DCA plane crash on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, Pete Buttigieg, the 2020 election, and diversity. No evidence was provided.

Huh. Guess he was gonna do Project 2025 after all.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

You are allowed to feel joy. Yes, even now. Joy is resistance.

I think it is terrible that people are reporting homes with MAGA signs as possible locations for illegal immigrants. It is terrible and I wouldn't wish that anyone do this at the immigration reporting website.

Studying Italian and Duolingo keeps giving me a sentence of "Help! There's a ghost in the sugar!" and it makes me wonder what's going on over there. Anyone been to Italy? Is this a major problem?

A coalition of nonprofits, public health organizations and small businesses filed a lawsuit to block the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo instructing a pause on all agency grants and loans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Don't impose something right away. Be curious. Observe. Ask questions. Why does that grow there and what is its function?

When life gives you invasive Bradford Pear use it for root stock. This is flourishing Huffcapp Perry pear from England grafted on a wild tree 2 yr ago. This harnesses the (grown from seed) in situ root structure (tap root) and the immune system of a very agressive and hardy plant. 🌱 🌿#permaculture
