Yeeeees!

Wth Todd, how did you know I just rewatched this??

Migration im Stadtbild als „Problem“ bezeichnet Sprecher wertet umstrittenen Merz-Satz als parteipolitische Äußerung Der Kanzler nennt Migration im Stadtbild ein Problem. Die Kritik daran lässt nicht lange auf sich warten. Sein Sprecher betont: Merz habe sich in seiner Rolle als Parteichef geäußert.

Achsoooo! Das hat er nur als CDU Chef gesagt und nicht als Kanzler. Na dann sind öffentlich geäußerte ethnische Säuberungsfantasien ja gar kein Problem.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Dry yellow, red and brown maple leaves on the ground, glowing in the sunlight. Green grass is still peeking through, and in the background a small creek rushes on.

Gorgeous autumn outside - I just went for a walk and had so much fun crunching through the leaves

For any who need to hear this:

Most people, throughout history, have not had to cook every day. It's not weird to not always have the energy to do that. And when you have some but not tons of energy, a lot of packaged or frozen foods have gotten good in the past 20 years.

Lesson learned, no more errands ever

Muzzle?

Woohoo! Congratulations and hope you can both relax now!

Same here! Would still not use AI...

Listen, I'm definitely tempted to just go on opening calendars after Christmas! Especially for the crafty ones, I just have so much more time "between the years" (which is what we Germans call that time of year). So 24 days + 12 days for the win!

This is about moderation in social media but damn what an evergreen skeet.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Oh hi there!

Happy birthday week! 🎉🎂🐸

Medis oder Magie?

I had like 5 minutes of motivation to do things in August and then I blinked and it was October

Same, except it was July. My heart is still convinced there's six more months in the year...

watching waffles turn from a light-hearted joke about social media dynamics into a right-wing dog whistle in a few days on here has been wild.

Partly, I think. I changed my keyword focused search terms for silly questions and got better results (because that matches well with forums and Reddit, which is where the most useful info can be found). But mostly Google has just been thoroughly enshittified

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.

The same black cat, now with yellow eyes staring balefully upside down

Why you waking me up to take photos, hooman?

I wish you all a relaxing caturday night!

Yeah I felt that too after I made waffles the day this kicked off

Apparently not! I had to go look it up. Says Wikipedia: The modern name originated in the 14th century as a plural of quoyn, via Old French cooin from Latin cotoneum malum / cydonium malum, ultimately from Greek κυδώνιον μῆλον, kydonion mēlon "Kydonian apple".

This entire thread explains one of the REAL reasons I'm so pissed about this whole Bluesky CEO Waffles mess.

I liked that meme. That was a good meme. The waffles tweet from years ago was a *good tweet*, and they are DRASTICALLY misusing it and turning it into a freakin' dogwhistle for their ingroup

For a good analysis of the weird way the waffles meme has been used by the Bluesky CEO and then Jesse Singal: bsky.app/profile/drya...
