Just did my same 10 exercises again and then got to the "unit wrap up" and that's the only time it teaches me anything new. Cheers Duolingo

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."
'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'
We hope neither carries you off today.

It is very dispiriting to see authors and artists reposting AI garbage regurgitate. And don't say 'it's not serious, it's a joke'. You're a CREATOR. Don't be a lazy little dipshit about your fellow authors and artists' work and livelihoods just for a joke. Check your damn sources like an adult.
