As someone who speaks a 2nd language at about the same level of fluency as Zelensky’s English, it surprises me that no one has referenced this in their analysis of the oval office row. Nuance, dexterity and manners are very hard to achieve 2 against 1 in a foreign language

This is a must watch. This mans reaction to the way his leaders, Trump and Vance, and the media treated Zelenskyy is so deeply moving America is lost #SlavaUkraini

Hands up if you wrestled last night with nightmares of horror in the White House, and woke up remembering it was all true.

I don't post much on Bluesky. I just remember when I first saw this photo and comment. It seems very appropriate to share it again today.

After having spent an inordinate amount of time on X, one thing that is now abundantly clear is that WE ALL KNOW HOW TO SPELL OVER HERE. I wondered why the writer in me has been so calm these past few weeks. Pat yourselves on the back, people. 💙 😁 💞

If you watched #Matlock last night, you'll now know the twist. And what a terrific ruse. (SPOILER: the not-who-you-think-they-are trick making it feel kind of like a legal Ludwig.) No wonder it got recommissioned in the US almost instantly.

Word of the day is ‘sequaciousness’ (16th century): the slavish and reckless following of another person in matters of thought or opinion.
