@asrivkin.bsky.social Looking forward to your "Thunder of Eels" EP
Eels are frequently active during thunder storms...a fact that the premodern English used extensively as a metaphor!
In 1604 John Hanson used the image of eels roused by thunder to describe Catholic priests coming out of their slimy caves to spread their heresy in the world.

"have pushed legal boundaries" 🤦♂️
After federal agents descended on a Home Depot parking lot in Los Angeles this week, they arrested a U.S. citizen they said attacked them — and then drove off with the man’s toddler. Advocates say it underscores how agents have pushed legal boundaries across the U.S.

The child was later reunited with her grandmother, but the episode alarmed immigrant rights groups. The father, a U.S. citizen, faces a gun possession charge.

Whoa
Ha, this Polish saying has already been assimilated into English enough to end up in Cambridge Dictionary, first English-language dictionary other than Wiktionary to include it.
It's become popular in English in the last few years, starting mostly with its use in Orange Is the New Black in 2017
