Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
Join us in Canberra in November for the 2026 Languages and Cultures Network for Australian Universities colloquium, held alongside the ASFS and FATFA conferences slll.cass.anu.edu.au/events/…

Things are looking up at @UniCanberra.
UC staff have put in the hard work to turn the University around.
The least they deserve is not to have real wages go backwards.

I built this system to help my university students master their vocabulary lists more effectively. It's free to anyone. It combines spaced repetition algorithms with AI-assisted formative feedback.
Supports many languages.

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.
“Streets of Minneapolis”.
He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.
Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰
"Every university should renovate the disciplinary framework of its courses [...]. But no university that does so in a robust and principled way should recognise any merit in withdrawing from the engaged and purposeful study of other languages, cultures and societies."
The universities of Nottingham and Leicester are taking a swing at language departments. But those proposing closures have taken their eye off the ball, say four linguists

Despite Australia's multicultural society, "we don't necessarily take language education as seriously as other countries. The messaging for children really is that English is the only real language that they need, and we need to change that messaging,"
