‘Rage knitting’ against the machine: the hobbyists putting anti-ICE messages into crafts Makers take a stand through ‘Melt the ICE’ red knit caps and sparkly nails – all while raising funds for those affected by immigration raids

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.

They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.

They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

Is there a cool phonetic/phonological story to be told about the interchangeability of Hamnet/Hamlet?

In Korean, the expression I know (목청껏) refers to vocal cords. It uses a particle that means like "to the extent possible", and so it's roughly "pushing my vocal cords to the brink".

Dutch has 'uit volle borst zingen' (singing out of full chest), meaning singing loudly/enthusiastically, which seems similar if a little more restricted in application (I don't think I know it to be used for shouting, just singing)

In English we say “at the top of my lungs” to mean “as loud as I can”. Do other languages have similar phrases? Do they refer to lungs or some other body part? Or use a different metaphor entirely?

Taking one of these apology shaped objects as meaningful is *just as much a huge red flag* as thinking any of its other output is meaningful.

It's a sign you've got the exact same brainrot as the guys calling it their girlfriend.

Oh, you're adding 1 to a number at midnight? Great fun, is it? I add 1 to numbers all the time but you don't see me making a big deal out of it, but have fun I guess with your math holiday

I am 100% in favour of renationalising passenger rail services, but PLEASE can we stop the stupid cycle of building good things, dismantling them, then rebuilding them again??

The promise of AI in education is it will save educators time. That's rubbish. It's sapping all our time already in working groups, committees, workshops, and marking anxiety. It's the most time-sapping, exhausting and frankly boring thing I've ever encountered in HE - and it's in my research area.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.
