1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Strongly feel that adults learning a new language should be treated like babies doing the same thing. Look, I'm going through a developmental leap this week, so I'm just going to be more cranky, hungrier, cry a lot at night etc.

If our economic system is so brittle that it can be destroyed by free buses, maybe we should try for something more resilient.
Holy crap, WP. “The young politician was born into a life of wealth and privilege, and from that perch he adopted a worldview centered around destroying the economic system that made his adopted country thrive.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Opinion | Zohran Mamdani’s success is a warning

It's good to know that this is more of a universal experience than I'd imagined. Very happy to be part of this group 🤣
I'd like to apologise to anyone on the canal tow path who was minding their own business this morning until a cyclist declaimed to the world at large "oh fuck off!".
In my defence, I was listening to a nice podcast when that got interrupted by "I am George Osborne". And he can absolutely fuck off.
