As early as February 24, 2022, I said in many TV shows & essays that we, the Allies, must intervene directly against russia.
I have often repeated since then that we can't win #OurWar without participating in it.
I reiterate this now.
Taking no risks will lead us straight to defeat.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.

Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

Well well well. Just came off a month of travel where I did not study Portuguese one single time. We did watch some Portuguese shows on Tv during the cruise, and I did some reading, but my focused study was not there. The drag of the renovation is partly to blame, it makes me want to be elsewhere.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Why is learning a language so difficult? Watching some Portuguese shows while on vacation, and now the news. After 3 years here I still can't hold a conversation, I can't understand most of what is said by a native speaker at full speed. Sounds change when words are combined, syllables dropped...

Maybe I will post my immigrant thoughts in my own words and not wrapped in current political phraseology. Though I will say I know I am privileged. First thought, what does it really mean to "adapt to the culture"?...

Okay, gonna give this a try. I have always been a lurker, with the exception of educator chats on Twitter. But that account is no more. I am curious to see what I do on Bluesky.
