Every time Duolingo insists that the French "biscuits" must translate to "cookies" I come a little bit closer to cancelling my subscription.

And, I know I've said it before, but don't get me started on Duolingo insisting that my accurate translations from German into English are wrong. E.g.,:
I write: 'My mum is very mischievous' ❌
Duolingo wants: 'My mom is real sassy' ✔️
I write: 'My mum is very mischievous' ❌
Duolingo wants: 'My mom is real sassy' ✔️

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Say it with me:
... yeah okay this would work.
I've had sex with dozens of men, many of whom said sexy things to me and asked me to do sexy things. The hottest thing a man said to me was this simple and sincere request: "Can you please let your hair down? It's so pretty." I think about it frequently.

I don't know what sort of training you'd need but I imagine "fixing up all the damage done when a company fired its qualified employees and tried to replace them with AI" is about to become a very lucrative industry.

There’s no point having on an international diplomacy expert to talk about what things mean or what he might do next. There’s no 3D chess here.
Get a domestic violence expert.

Fell for it again. Cheez-its this time.
America did you know that cheese flavoured things can be flavoured with cheese and not toenail dust?
Last time it was oatmeal and before that it was red vines.

Absolutely insane that any American could criticise the concept of "landing some boats there hundreds of years ago" as a claim of ownership of any piece of land.
The irony is, of course, lost in the shit-smearing hyper-madness.

to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjjhbsc3pp3vkqjsivk6z2yd/bafkreicg4lld3sqewqfgx6clcfr5blf356o3fqzfhw722vg6uqrnfhvdxq@jpeg)

If you're annoyed at me for nagging you about the misogyny in your activism, you haven't been paying attention. (Clue: "fucking bitches")

There's a thread of images of ICE officers having things thrown on them, photoshopped into the Porn Hub UI. You know, as a joke.
But tell me more about how sex work is just normal work and porn isn't the filmed abuse and humiliation of women.
