Why has Duolingo suddenly started filling my feed with achievements by people I don’t know or follow??? (I think they may be people followed by people I follow, maybe) Please stop!

My old Aiwa Walkman from the 80s. Loved this thing, very compact it was, auto-reverse and dolby NR. Eventually it packed in but was superseded by a compact CD player. This went everywhere with me. Good bit of kit. Anyone else have anything like this …?

Beyond the particulars, the Epstein files massively corrode trust in elites and political institutions. They consolidate two suspicions among the public. 1/3

FIRST CLASS bit of archaeology here. Brilliant work.
In April 1976, in a café at Cambridge railway station, Douglas Adams bought some biscuits. We know this because he told the story so many times that it somehow opened up a wormhole in the space-time continuum, travelling both forwards and backwards and, intriguingly, sideways in time. (1/some...)

So there is evidence of DEATHS
?!
🤬😡🤬
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.

WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???

Cat bed complete! Now to see if he’ll use it… Took just over 4 hrs to crochet and is 16” across inside. This was just the quick and easy break from my other WIPS that I needed 🧶

Recently I met a drum and bass DJ who'd opened a supermarket.

It was an Aldi but Goldie.

If you've been wanting to make a Melt the ICE hat in Tunisian crochet, now you can.

It's made sideways with a straight hook, no short rows (although if you want one with short rows you can try the elf hat).

All proceeds go to help those affected by the raids. payhip.com/b/rn5xk

This is excellent 👌🏻
As the world stands with the people of Minneapolis the Trump regime continues to pedal lies about domestic terrorists -
slaughtering US citizens in the name of normalizing state violence.

It’s like Felix knew (maybe me being up and showered so early tipped him off 😬) and he hid under the bed. All attempts to lure him out for treats have failed so I’ve missed my appointment 😞 Ugh…
Ok. I’d better get to bed. Tomorrow I have to get Felix into the carrier for his vaccination appointment at PDSA at 11am. Last time I tried to get him in the carrier it took me 3 hours (and almost 19 pace points on Visible*) so I am understandably not looking forward to it. Gulp…

They seem real to me. But I'm just some guy who likes seeing ICE tail lights get kicked.
@captaindisillusion.bsky.social Any thoughts on the recent videos of Alex Pretti kicking the taillight off an SUV? There's multiple angles, but the whole thing looks so uncanny.

Side note, kicking a tail light does not justify a death sentence more than a week later.
