WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

@susiedentwords.bsky.social any inspiration for this one? For something that takes a number of hours, it feels like 'dedecorate' or 'undecorate' are a bit feeble!
There must be some clever compound German word for 'dechristmassify' I can adopt to encompasses the chore of removing eleventy-billion baubles and lights! #xmas #dechristmas #german #language

My year in books is fewer than I would've hoped this year - there have been a couple of books that were just like treacle and held me back. Standouts were 'The Devils' and 'The Tainted Cup' #goodreads #books

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
