How to actually learn something with Duolingo You know him.

Great article by @irinadumitrescu.bsky.social on how to actually learn something with Duolingo:

(Especially love the possibility of changing the home language, to practice two languages simultaneously, as well as alphabet practice.)

Putin threatens Kyiv decision-makers after striking energy grid Russia says it is selecting Ukrainian targets and may hit government offices in the capital.

It never gets easier to see these headlines. Putin’s killing civilians for no legitimate purpose. He’s evil incarnate.

Speaker Johnson’s holier-than-thou decree to ban transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their identity is a cruel and unnecessary rule that puts countless staff, interns, and visitors to the United States Capitol at risk,” said Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02), Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus. β€œHow will this even be enforced? Will the Sergeant at Arms post officers in bathrooms? Will everyone who works at the Capitol have to carry around their birth certificate or undergo a genetic test? This policy isn’t going to protect anyoneβ€”but it is going to open the door to rampant abuse, harassment, and discrimination in the Capitol. Republicans can’t even pass a Farm Bill or pass major appropriations bills, so they turn to using these cruel attacks to distract from their inability to govern and failure to deliver for the American people."
