This. I've been translating for 20 years, and I've been complaining about British English removal of Polish diacritics for longer than that.

The WSJ is vying for the Worst Op-ed Prize against the WAPo this week.
These kinds of nonsensical gibberish promoted by media is why it’s harder to have meaningful efficacious climate action.
And it’s climate, not weather, you ignoramus author. At least get the terminology right.🤦🏽‍♀️

American banks in a nutshell...

In the meantime, I need to provide 17 DNA samples and have to write and send 4 essays on online fraud to a bank employee in the EU every time I have a new client sending me money... because anti-money laundering rules.

I would personally really like it if the word "app" could go back to just applying to smartphone applications. Websites are not apps, desktop software is not apps. Words have meaning and this is the most important thing in the world to be mad about

First time seeing such a clear statement against #NativeSpeakerism in #AcademicWriting 👏 Thank you, European Journal of Applied Linguistics!

My charity is attempting to buy a piece of woodland in east Bristol and I need you all to come out in support. It’s tiny. We all see stories of 200 acres or 2000 acres of community buyout, but this is in the middle of a major city, and it’s just as important as something far bigger out in the countryside. Please read this description, and help me save a tiny important fragment of amazing woodland. #BiodiversityCrisis #WoodlandProtection #Rewilding #TreeProtection https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-blackswarth-road-wood-crews-hole/comments#start

When you're getting stabbed but you're in Minneapolis so you don't call the police because whatever the guy stabbing you does is still a hundred times better than what the MPD would do to ya

Regular reminder: if your site or app doesn’t work in Firefox, it’s broken.

I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that.

Pro-tip: Firefox does most things better anyway. Give it a spin and enjoy a less-tracked web.

I didn’t intentionally plant the giant sunflowers as supports for the runner beans, it was just a happy accident. Next year though, I think I’ll do a long row of both together as the sunflowers are proving to be much more sturdy than the bamboo canes #gardening

Watching the scramble to figure out if LK-99 is an Actual Thing™ is fun, but I'm hearing comments like "If it's real it'll mean high-speed trains everywhere!"

My dude, we could ALREADY have high-speed trains everywhere. The resistance in the wires isn't the thing that's blocking it from happening.

Lol the Wi-Fi on this bus is adult blocked so I can’t do the promo toots for this evening. If you can get porn on your phone/laptop feel free to go to https://www.girlonthenet.com/audio-porn, pick a piece of guest audio and do your own toot then tag me in. I’ll retweet you, and this way essentially outsource the only bit of my job I actually needed to do today. #Capitalism

What could be better than experiments in space? Experiments on the Moon!

#OTD in 1971, Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott performed his feather and hammer experiment on the Moon, demonstrating that without air resistance all objects fall at the same rate. https://go.nasa.gov/47cbHuk

@sarajw This blows my mind. Imagine making infrastructure so car dependent that you make walking illegal.
