Maybe not the worst but most annoying thing about this Kennedy Center debacle is going to be the thousands of people with little to no knowledge of how nonprofit arts orgs are managed or funded busting out their uninformed axe-grinding takes all over the barely literate news coverage.

The description of Renee Good is the polar opposite of Donald Trump and his acolytes.
RIP

Yesterday, in Minneapolis, Minnesota one of Trump’s jackbooted, marauding ICE enforcers shot & killed Renee Good, a 37-year old, U.S. citizen, mom of 3 kids in cold-blooded murder! She was executed at point-blank range, shot multiple times trying to comply with conflicting ICE orders. ICE get out!!!

So the Labour Government in Westminster expect immigrants to speak English to an A-level standard. I look forward to them reaching Welsh language GCSE standard here in Wales....

I doubt I'll be speaking any Dutch today on a Paris shift. German can't be ruled out. I'll probably end up speaking some French with a colleague the moment I walk in the crewroom or locker room. The mix of languages and cultures makes e* very special.

Today is the European Day of Languages. And this year, we mark 25 years of celebrating multilingualism in our Union. 🥳
Languages open doors. They help us connect, explore cultures, make lifelong friends, and journey further.
We remain stronger, united in our diversity.

Whenever Nigel Farage is properly challenged, he reminds me of those 1920s burlesque entertainers, whose act consisted of swapping the position of fans or balloons, really fast so nobody could catch a glimpse of their fanny.
