The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

I saw a "films as haiku" thing on here and now I'm obsessed. My second take on this one, with my apologies to all poets, Japanese people and film fans: One word unravels A life's story, ablaze then Winter's memento

I hope there will be Unix overflow parties on 19 January 2038 under the motto "tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1901".

Today in misheard lyrics, I just realized that the Kinks were sipping on an ice-cool beer in Sunny Afternoon, not a high school beer. :-)

Ich verkehre nicht in Nazi-Kneipen, ich gehe nicht in rechte Buchhandlungen, wo ich mir auch keine rassistischen, pseudowissenschaftlichen Bullshit-Bücher hole; ich wähle nicht die AfD, und ich lese keine "Bevölkerungsaustausch"-Kolumnen von Ulf Poschardt. Warum sollte ich also auf "X" sein?

My work place has a program called Unisafe apparently meant to make people feel safe at their uni, which my work place is one of. Just to make sure the "i" stands out properly and the name is not misread, they print it in all-caps sans serif with kerning.

I just saw "How to Make French Fries in Blender" on my YT tab and had a confused moment until I realised they meant Blender the software.

Doctor: You have NO vitamin D. Actual blood test: Consistent with moderate vitamin D deficiency. I did think that surely NO was a bit of hyperbole, but anyway, will have to start taking a supplement now.

I also learned that consistently having higher blood pressure at a lab or doctor's office is apparently common enough to get its own medical term: white coat hypertension.

According to Apple's voicemail transcript, my "mouth focal conductance trials" are now ready for collection. That was fast.

Pressebild des Tages: Schulze übergibt händeschüttelnd Blumen an Rausch. 2020 warf Hennig-Wellsow, von der Linken Kemmerich, der sich mit Hilfe der AfD hatte wählen lassen, den Strauß vor die Füße. Sechs Jahre später hat die Union immer noch nicht gelernt, wie man Nazis korrekt Blumen überreicht.

I have my music player sort alphabetically by album, so Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World is directly followed by his The Next Day, a 43-year jump.

Wer wegen "Reichweite" bei "X" bleibt, geht auch in Nazi-Kneipen, weil es da Freibier gibt.

Wait, does this mean there is a T or that there is no T? Wordle 1,933 5/6* ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It's so weird to me now when people talk casually about being on Instagram or "Twitter", like walking into Mordor for a shopping spree and a chai latte twice a month.

Zohran Mamdani hat den ersten städtischen Plan zur Bekämpfung von Antisemitismus in NYC vorgestellt und mit knapp 10 Millionen Dollar dotiert. Ihr könnt euch nicht vorstellen auf wievielen Seiten das gerade für einen Meltdown sorgt.

It's curious that I don't eat pilaf more often, considering that it's the next laf in the alphabet. (This post brought to you by me forgetting to buy potatoes and carrots for my lentil stew and putting in basmati rice instead.)

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

I just started reading Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction. I never know what manga to read, so I usually pick ones with an anime I liked. Like with Dorohedoro, I'm blown away by the artwork, which is amazing in a completely different way.

Merfolk in Goodbye Lara: maybe we could forgive all the destruction and pollution the humans have brought upon us. But the fact that they're walking about on those disgusting legs? Never!

You know you're getting old when you start attributing things to your age that you used to not attribute to your age when you were younger.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

I always think of molecular biology when people talk about domain name services because DNS is the German for DNA ("Säure" replacing Acid).
