Americans - listen up! At the Bylines Network in the UK, we've taken on a new project to amplify (non-MAGA!) American voices at a time when there's so much damage to people's lives that the US media can't or won't keep up. But we do citizen journalism - we're collecting the stories. Take a look. 👇

II think it’s a chances missed and aesthetic thing. But i see now you’re only talking about until the end of the season I’m inclined to agree, as the other two aren’t fit enough. It’ll probably be Beto for 60 then one or both of the other two for the final 30.

Two software developers became quietly known in tech circles in the 2000s and were almost the reverse image of each other. Both developed web alternatives. Both developed alternatives to the current government model. The right has read Yarvin and it shows. The left has not read Marsh and it shows.

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

“This is the best performance of The Sound of Silence” is your opinion and not one I share. Capitalisation in titles can follow different styles. Most important is, I think, consistency. It seems we prefer different styles. Despite these two huge setbacks in our days we can still be friends.

More men need to tell us they've never been a fan of The Beatles. It shows an independence of thought but also profound intellectual insight; a refusal to run with the herd. I especially like to see it in response to someone expressing their love of the group. It's outspoken, contrary and brave.
