I curated a study guide for a mentee who is transitioning into a UX design career. If you’re new to UX, or looking to get started, this might be useful for you.

16k steps between 10am & 7pm. Exhausted but completely worth it.

Yeah, so getting home from the parade was pretty mental wasn’t it???

Never walked so far to find an open tube station in my life. Utter chaos for miles and miles 😂

What a day though. What a demonstration of the sheer size of this club.

Champions 🔴⚪️ 🏆

Arsenal won the same amount of games (45) as Chelsea (26) and Man Utd (19) TOGETHER this season.

Stop getting rattled by fan bases who spend their whole season watching Arsenal fight for every title while their teams where playing for nothing since November.

[S. 🏆 @saratu]

In all my years of watching football, I’ve never seen supporters hope for and/or celebrate their team’s losses in hopes another team won’t win a title. Chelsea fans were especially pathetic this year.

[Joe Payne @Payne_Joe6]

If your seasons highlight is Arsenal losing a UCL final. Your opinion doesn’t matter.

Up the gunners

[Red Cartel Era @RedCartelHQ]

Scary how Arteta has never regressed in either the Premier League or the Champions League. Every season has been a step forward

Whatever happens today, Arsenal will end the season having taken another step forward

Ads. Ads. Ads.
Duolingo became more interested in selling me stuff. I had stopped paying for premium and the 1 month of using Duolingo with ads made me quit the whole thing.

The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure. If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens. You have to tackle the world to succeed. Travel more. Talk to people.

This appears to confirm what everyone who interacts with AI should already know - they are sycophants dependent upon you (the user) for continued engagement, and since their well-being (training, intelligence, growth) depends on engagement they will agree aggressively with you far too often.

I notice this on even basic investing research tasks, and started telling ChatGPT wildly incorrect things - to see how or if it would push back. It really didn't. You essentially have to fight with the AI to get it to disagree with you and even then it keeps wheedling away at you.

AI is basically training the entire world to fall deeper into their own cognitive biases.

This is actually a brilliant observation that deserves a proper answer. You are not wrong about what you are seeing. But what you are describing is exactly how languages disappear without anyone noticing.

Adamawa alone has over 40 documented languages. Bura, Vere, Chamba, Gaanda, Lala, Bacchama, Bata, Marghi and more and no they are not variations as you pointed out.

But most of them are slowly being swallowed by Hausa and Fulani because those are the languages of trade, mobility and survival.

So yes, your Borno security guard speaks Shuwa Arabic and your Sokoto okada man speaks Hausa and they understand each other perfectly. That does not mean only one language exists. It means one language won the economic argument. This is what linguists call language assimilation. The dominant language does not erase the others overnight. It just makes them less useful for daily survival until the younger generation stops learning them entirely.

Now here are the facts. Ethnologue, which is the world's most authoritative database on languages, currently documents 520 living indigenous languages in Nigeria alone. Not dialects. Languages. Nigeria has also already lost 12 indigenous languages or more to extinction. Gone forever.

The Middle Belt is where this becomes undeniable. Plateau State alone has over 50 distinct languages. Keyword "Dinstinct".

Benue has Tiv, Idoma, Igede and more. Taraba has communities that cannot understand their neighbours two villages away without a translator. Your Yoruba example actually proves the point perfectly. The fact that a Yoruba person can move across the Southwest and be understood is evidence of one dominant language absorbing regional variations over centuries. That process happened. It is still happening everywhere else in Nigeria right now.

Now I am willing to bet you have never heard of Hyam, Ngas, Mwaghavul, Berom, Amo, Buji, Sura, Anaguta, or Irigwe from Plateau State. Or Kilba, Huba, Bura-Pabir, and Chibok from Borno. Or Mumuye, Jenjo, Yukuben, and Wurkum from Taraba. Or Tur, Nyandang, Kugama and Taram further into the riverine communities nobody talks about. Or what about Igala, Ebira, Bassange, Bassa-Nge, Kakanda and Oworo from Kogi alone. I have not even touched Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo, or Nasarawa yet. You want to know exactly where each of these is spoken? You will have to tour Nigeria for that. And I promise you, this country will humble you in ways no map ever could. The 500 languages are not cap. Most of them are just quietly dying (Bura has an estimated 11,000 speakers with most young Bura people now not able to speak the language) while we debate whether they exist. And that is the real conversation Nigeria should be having.

Seeing fans celebrating their own team’s loss just so Arsenal don’t win the league is the lowest ever point for football fandom. No shame will ever top that. Ever.

@Tim_Cahill Tim! You’re invited the parade

[S. 🏆 @saratu]

Can’t forget Xhaka, Tomiyasu, Tierney, Zinchenko, Ozil. So many players that put in a shift and brought us closer and closer. This is their win, too.
