I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI.
I urge everyone to delete their app.

All-dressed chips (crisps) are a staple of Canadian cuisine. While visiting family, I noticed that a St. Louis, Missouri, snack company is taking a stab at this mysteriously perfect flavour. I haven't mustered the courage yet to open and test.

"Shillbilly" is the term coined by Rep. Jamie Raskin for Vance.
Vance grew up in a 4 bedroom suburban home in Ohio, in a family that earned a little over $175k/ year in today's dollars and paid for his golf lessons.
He eventually overcame this tragic upbringing to attend Yale Law School.
Neither poor, rural, nor Appalachian.
Just a grifter.

cicadas: they’re just like you and me
A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and die of sexual exhaustion.

Because Katies are very elegant creatures.
This is from a 1950s coloring book about the three little kittens who lost their mittens. I love the addition of this fabulous Auntie Katie character.

Well, I've learned something today!
I just now realized that when someone says "The game's afoot!" they don't mean that a game is being played, but that a game animal, like a deer, rabbit, or pheasant, has been flushed out of hiding and it's time to chase it down and kill it.
The game is the target, the villain, not the challenge.
