One name in one language, different in the other

Teacher who lived in South America for a very long time, now back in USA. Usually going on about politics, policy, school, or Everton.
It's genuinely bothersome to see so many people follow accounts that are supposed to be experts in stuff like finance, but post shit so far disconnected from reality that it should immediately render their opinions irrelevant on anything else.

Holy shit, now not only does "shipped" not actually mean anything directly resembling its actual meaning, but "delivered" is going the same way.

This is quite honestly the best mixing rum I've ever had (yeah you could mix like a Zacapa XO and it'd probably be better, but at $100 a bottle that's not a mixing rum). Really wish it were available where I live, but my wife is probably very happy with it not being easily available in daily life.

Decided to block the person because I never ever under any circumstances want to stumble upon their idioteces again, so here's the screenshot.

We are with the urawa red diamonds fans, apparently

Thanks @itsflanoy.bsky.social ! Now I'll never forget the number to call on the bananaphone to get my Tuesday tacos.

Happy to see no red shirts

Trust me lads, wearing a right proper amount of blue for this.

BTW here's an extremely rough map I just sketched of that trip.

Received this anonymous note from a colleague today. It made me happy cry because it's literally the highest praise I could ever receive from another teacher.

Realized a couple weeks back that my rear license plate (on an otherwise clean white car) has no frame and fairly rusted screws. Couldn't really find an Everton one so went the custom route and had this made up. Happy with how it turned out, but if I didn't work with children there be "UTFT" below.

"Folks should just block me" is the most useful thing he has ever communicated in his life.

And he's now reached a hall-of-fame-level of being blocked. Just unheard of stuff here, like the Serena/LeBron/Brady of being blocked. His 24 hour total alone ranks 4th all time for blocks!

This is pretty representative, tbqh.

Decided to pull these out of Mom's house closet. Since I can't imagine actually making any real money off these, I'm tempted to do a random draws remembering some guys account.

They're still really bad. Even within the past couple years they've had incidents. Really doubt they'll ever change.

adopted Rosy, who is epileptic and had been in the shelter for almost a year. The previous dog was also epileptic and we figured nobody would adopt her otherwise, plus she's adorable, so that's why we chose her. We imported her with us when we moved up from Peru to the USA in March.

I'm not asking for anything here, but my dog, Rosy, the one who is my profile picture, took a sudden horrible turn last weekend and went from seeming pretty well fine last week to being in the vet hospital with a shockingly strong kidney infection. She may soon no longer be with us.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #503,435!

Here's a fun meme on Perú Twitter (they haven't moved over... I check on my locked almost no followers account when stuff goes down).

Dog's bed was set outside to air out. It has ended up lying flat, and plans have changed.

Photos I just stumbled upon from last day in Perú. Look at how gorgeous Pía is! Mario and Tito aren't so bad either. These cats were literally found as like two week old kittens in garbage by my mother in law. She originally wanted to adopt them out, but now I don't think she would give them up.

Great way to talk people into shedding blood for the revolution - discount what well over half the workers would have to say, even if they're making clearly true factual claims!

I hope somebody pushes the best possible option for Vice President
