Die russische Justiz hat ein Strafverfahren gegen den Bildhauer Jacques Tilly eingeleitet: Seine Karnevalswagen beleidigten Putin und die russische Armee. Was bedeutet das? Und wie reagiert Tilly selbst?

Not sure what this means for 2026. 😬

Might lead to more missed flights though. 😂
Airports are inherently stressful places, especially when they are packed with families. To moderate the stress, airports should close all bars and give adults lots of cannabis edibles. People are much more reasonable when stoned than drunk.

One of my favourite examples is 'biceps', both in English and in Dutch.

In Latin, 'biceps' consists of 'bi-' (two), 'cep-' (head), and '-s' (case ending): "two-headed".

However, since the 1800s, 'biceps' has been reanalysed as a plural and given a new singular: 'bicep'.

The Latin plural is ... 1/
Some people vocally oppose using ‘data’ and ‘panini’ as singular nouns, saying they come from plural nouns.

That’s true, but that also goes for ‘marvel’ and ‘joy’: they used to be plural too.

And ‘cherries’ and ‘peas’ used to be singular.

Zoom in to learn all about this phenomenon: reanalysis.

"Polyworking" is the fancy, sanitized term invented to normalize people being forced to work multiple jobs to afford basic necessities.

Don't glorify the grind.
Dismantle the system that requires it.

The BBC also recently confirmed the future of the main show, revealing that the deal with Disney is no longer in place. However, the Doctor and the TARDIS will be back in action next Christmas, with showrunner Russell T Davies set to pen a new festive special. Recently chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Davies revealed the status of that special. Asked whether he's started writing the special, Davies told us: "Not at the moment because I'm busy on [The War Between the Land and the Sea]. I'm also shooting a show in Manchester, so next year my plate clears and we'll get to work on that." While he's keeping quiet on the details, Davies also confirmed he's got the plot all worked out, saying: "I know exactly what happens in it, don't worry about that." The War Between the Land and the Sea is coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 7th December. Doctor Who is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Who’d have thought that your school French, German or Spanish would lead to unique opportunities, enhanced experiences and broader perspectives? Those vocab lists and set phrases open doors. Chinese and Arabic become new options. Languages exceed your expectations and take you to new destinations.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

"no matter how proficient AI translation becomes, it can never substitute the cultural understanding and personal rapport that learning a language offers."

Spot on. AI isn't sentient & doesn't understand people. Trade, diplomacy, communication are about people
