Richmond, BC, Canada is so Asian that one block from my house there’s a bilingual English and Mandarin school.
Most people assume it’s only for Chinese expats. This is not the case.
I see a few white and Indian kids attend Chaoyin Bilingual Academy. Thing is, Mandarin is a super useful language. It’s actually the most spoken language in the world.
But my town is a great place for this school because you can speak Mandarin everywhere.

What word do you use for a carbonated soft drink? @TheConversationUS takes a look at the origin of some of the most common terms in the U.S. — soda, which likely comes from "sodium," pop, an onomatopoeia, and coke — as a generic term for all drinks, not just cola. We want to know, what do you say?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren quoted this from the Washington Post: "The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength."
Sen. Warren added: "RFK Jr.’s war on vaccines is hurting America's kids."

Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

Bombshell report alleges El Salvador disclaimed responsibility for those U.S. sent to CECOT
Challengers filed the document, from a U.N. investigation, in court on Monday. An update on the rule of law: Alien Enemies Act, birthright citizenship, and law firm litigation.Chris Geidner (Law Dork)
The image is a scanned document from a legal case, specifically Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB, Document 160, filed on 07/07/25, and is page 2 of 4. The document discusses the Government of El Salvador's response to a UN inquiry regarding the disappearance of four family members. The text states that the Salvadoran authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The Salvadoran State's actions have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, facilitating the use of Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. The jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, in accordance with international agreements and principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. The document mentions that the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned. The exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report, with the exception of one case for particular privacy reasons. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request.

Good Morning Earthicans!
Hosted my first dinner party in my "new" (not really new) apartment last with two of my closest friends, then showed them Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon (which rules).
Now it's time for a quick walk to get coffee and fresh air before working on Deck & Conn all day.
But first, here's a picture of what happened when I was playing Mario Kart World at my friend's place over the weekend. (Lark the Kitten began booping my hands as I was playing.)
I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Easily, among the most interesting and entertaining and well paced books I read lately. hachyderm.io/@al3x/11478409589…
