It's still closed, I think. Officially it's temporary, but I wonder if it may not become permanent. There already is an alternative, afaik.

If Trumpers think that the left are the real fascists wouldn't that make Trumpers antifa, which is a terror group? I'm just asking questions.

The only way to read any book is prime numbered pages first, then even numbered pages working backwards, then any remaining pages ending with a 3, then whatever’s left over, but in alphabetical order of the first word on the page. Only then can you discern the author’s true intention.

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

Say what you want about Discord spam bots, but their work ethic is great. Getting up early on Monday morning to show how eager they are. I caught two between 6AM and 7.30AM.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

@thegoldenratio4.bsky.social If "goonen" wins Jugendwort des Jahres 2025 one of you is going to have to read the definition. In German. Including the proviso.

I love the season of 'Panickly message all your friends, coworkers, and loved ones every few days after a massive missile and drone strike', this is a normal situation that normal people are psychologically adept at handling for years at a time
