I've come to realise that 7:30 is the best time to use Bluesky nowadays. Many followers are already up, and my timeline hasn't been flooded yet by our American brothers and sisters posting about ICE and Trump and MAGA. No offence, but... I like the tranquillity.

The fun thing about writing Alt-texts is that you learn what all the gestures are called. A chin flick. Pinched fingers. The sign of the horns. Had to look those up, as we only ever make them physically.

For years I had a colleague who taught Dutch at the Lille office. Met him once; he wasn't friendly. Never so much as received an email from him in 8 yrs.
Now, after he's been fired for watching porn at the office in plain sight of our trainees, he is asking me, repeatedly, to hook up on Linkedin.

Surely the poses and the fact they all look like girls "looking for a good time" would be a clue 😂
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

“To the company’s disappointment, “people who stopped using Facebook for a week reported lower feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness and social comparison,” internal documents said.”
No surprise they suppressed the research!!

To anyone saying “this will just piss off paying customers who would otherwise support your cause,” remember that Home Depot has been allowing ICE to operate *inside store properties*
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Watched this tonight. Fantastic cinema.
Took us a while to realise the director, Edward Berger, not only directed All Quiet on the western front, but also Deutschland 83! 😮

Hi, are there any Brits here who are renewing their titre de séjour "article 50" or have already done it?
We're just wondering if there is or isn't a language requirement.
