The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Köln: Aufwendigste Bombenentschärfung seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg - Tausende Anwohner und drei Kliniken betroffen Experten haben in Köln eine Zehn-Zentner-Bombe aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kontrolliert gesprengt. Dafür mussten drei Krankenhäuser evakuiert werden und Tausende Menschen ihre Wohnungen verlassen.

Yesterday in Cologne, we saw one of the most difficult bomb disarmaments since 1945. 3(!) hospitals and 6.400 people had to be evacuated.

You wanna guess how many (mainly WWII) bombs are being disarmed PER YEAR in Germany?
5500.

A young girl uses an X-Ray Shoe-Fitting Machine in a store. Her mother peers through the viewing window, smiling at the bones in her daughter's irradiated feet. A suited man, possibly a shoe salesman, stands behind the machine. A crowd of kids and teens stand around an X-Ray Shoe-Fitting Machine as a woman X-Rays her feet. A young man in white stands on the opposite side, his foot one the raised machine platform, exposing the bulge in his pants to an extra helping of radiation. Old print advertisement for X-Ray Shoe-Fitting at Rochester Sample Shoe Store. It promotes the benefits of giving your child's tender foot proper shoes "for a lifetime of foot health and comfort." The drawing of a family standing around as their skirt-wearing daughter x-rays her feet appears as if they're all glowing with sweet, sweet radiation.

Thread 1/6
The first half of the 20th Century introduced us to the wonders of radioactive technology. People rushed to embrace it.
It was the future.
In shoe stores you could x-ray your foot for a "perfect fitting shoe." While dosage levels were mostly minimal to customers, not for store employees.

A detail from a 1591 German pamphlet about "Ketzerei", heresy. You see a man standing, carrying 7 cats. This detail is part of a title page: https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/details/bsb00086437

Meet the 1591 cat man. I am counting 7 cats on and near him. #catcontent

The classic Book of Adventures from the first edition of Das Schwarze Auge 1984

Like many other German role-players, my journey began not with D&D but with Das Schwarze Auge (The Dark Eye).

Yesterday I was talking about interviews with small channels/podcasts, and then this pops up.
The Dungeon Plunger is a small channel that deserves more love. He & I had one of my favorite interviews ever (I confess my ADHD was flared to full glory, turning our "short" chat into 2 hours)
Check it out

Ohne jede Schadenfreude: Vielleicht rafft die #SPD ja endlich mal nach Jahrzehnten, dass ihr a) mehr sozialdemokratische Politik helfen würde und b) das Mittragen und -verantworten jeder Unions-Fantasie zum Schrotten des Sozialstaats offenbar auch keine Punkte bringt.

We needed this gif, for reasons too complicated to go into here, but apparently it didn't exist. So we had to invent it.

Publicly announcing that the limiting factor on the duration of a war you just started is how long it takes you to get bored with it is an incredible move.

There is a very very obvious answer to this question.

(1) the imminent threat to the American people is Trump.

(2) his strategic goals are to suck every one of you dry and discard you when you are no longer exploitable.

(3) when the bombing stops some new calamity will be undertaken to distract you from the fact that you live in a dictatorship.

Netflix exits bidding war for Warner Bros after Paramount offer Netflix said it was backing from buying Warner Bros Discovery's streaming and studio assets, saying the deal was no longer financially attractive.

Netflix drops its bidding war for Warner Brothers and Paramount will soon own CNN and will turn into another CBS. This is a consolidation media which is against anti trust laws and will benefit the regime. Please call your AG esp if you have a democratic one and demand they sue to stop this.

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

"As his post goes on, his language gets older. 100 years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words" Fascinating. So how far back in time can YOU go?

Thiel: Freiheit & Demokratie passen nicht zusammen.

STARK: lasst uns den Bundestag über Thiels Rolle bei uns in die Irre führen.

Verteidigungsministerium: wir verlassen uns -ohne Prüfung- auf die Aussagen von STARK.

Union & SPD: lasst uns deren Drohnen kaufen, passt schon.
