Meet Miles, the new AI voice. I just had a lot of fun talking to him—he sounds just like a real person!

The future is here… but should we be excited or a little freaked out?

Here’s something funny to watch before bed.

This SNL episode from last year pokes fun at the imperial measurement system used in the US, along with a few other American oddities.


Here’s a little excerpt:

One of the soldiers: so, in football, there’s no kicking?

Washington: there’s a little kicking… you kick the ball to get points.

Another soldier: how many points, sir?

Washington: sometimes 1, and sometimes 3.

I’ve never taken Donald Trump seriously, even back when he first announced his run in 2016. His understanding of politics, the economy, medicine—you name it—just feels so surface-level. People might say I’ve been brainwashed by the mainstream media, but honestly, if you actually listen to what he says and fact-check him, it’s hard not to cringe at how often he contradicts himself or just flat-out gets things wrong. The sad part is, a lot of people either don’t notice or don’t care, which is probably why he won so decisively in 2024. Just watch this video—he’s completely twisting the facts while trying to justify cutting funding for medical research.

I think such an animated version of the Task 1 graph would make it easier for candidates to describe the changes. Would you agree?

Happy International Women’s Day!

A common mistake among Uzbek learners is saying “congratulate with 8th of March.”

Instead, remember that we congratulate people on their achievements, but for holidays, we wish them happy holidays!

#music #songs

I’ve started listening to Garth Brooks almost religiously ever since I discovered him through the show The Ranch. One of my favorite songs of his is The Dance, which feels like a dose of sanity after a hard day’s work. I’ve always loved country music, but there’s something especially soothing about his voice.

Any predictions for today’s crucial game against Iran?

Here are my thoughts about these three games (with useful language highlighted)

I think the Kyrgyz Republic might be able to hold their own against Qatar, but the UAE will likely beat North Korea by a landslide. As for our team, we might manage a draw since Iran only needs a single point to qualify. But if they play for a win, there’s a chance we could lose—though probably by a narrow margin.
