This is important because people are continuing to tell their personal 'business' or sharing their creativity on TikTok, a site now owned by friends of THIS govt, while making pennies— if that.

It video really is a public service announcement.

Méndez-Ortiz centers the Black woman in her homage to Gordon Parks's famous 1956 photograph.
Mendez-Ortiz kept the central figures of this iconic image and dramatically altered the setting by collaging found photographs from magazines, personal archives.

As of 2025:

The country with the most Spanish speakers ("speak Spanish at home") is Mexico at ~135 million.

The country with the 2nd most: the USA, with 45 million.
If you include bilinguals, it jumps to 58 million.

About 10% of all Spanish speakers, globally, live in the USA.

Why Sweden’s young people are so good at English
Learning English in Sweden is so much more than what goes on in school.

"This English language use is based on students’ personal interests, such as gaming, sports, pop music and reading.

The students are not actively aiming to develop their English, but pick it up while doing something that interests them, combining classroom learning with out-of-school exposure.."

they will be (en)forcing this, how? anyway, the point is: they are thinking surveillance, force and punishment rather than addressing the problem of ... access to fresh, nourishing foods.

Jessica Tisch wants to be mayor after Zohran's two terms. She's been talking about this since she was at Dalton & it's the reason she is now NYPD commissioner despite never having been an officer. Drilling down on this stuff now is really important.

we live in fucking hell.

next thing you know they’re gonna be promoting predatory journals which probably have all kinds of AI work in them.

you don’t even have to do the research or the analysis or the writing to call yourself a researcher!!!
Nothing to see here other than a university telling its research community that AI can appropriately be used to "generate first drafts."

This is the consequence of doing everything for content. When we (millennials) were in school, our phones barely had internet service
