The "wieder" is carrying so much weight in that sentence

Sitting in the doctor's waiting room just now and a guy was next to me staring at his phone with a dire expression on his face. When his wife emerged from her appointment, he greeted her with "Arbeitsauto wieder geklaut." One of those moments when you realize how much worse your day could be going 😐

Puppy needs smoko

The guy near me with a shiba inu just got out a bag of dog treats but it looked exactly like a bag of loose tobacco, so I assumed he was about to roll a cigarette, but then I glanced over a moment later and he was feeding it to the dog off the palm of his hand and I almost had a heart attack

When I was younger, people would say “your education is one thing no one can take away from you” and only now do I realize the importance of that statement.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Two days ago I made a huuuge soup (with leeks and carrots and potatoes and parsnip and so much more) and yesterday I made banana chocolate chip muffins and I am feeling so successful right now

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

I'll start: "giraffe" is the sin of being unaware of one's own privilege and the fact that one can easily reach/achieve things, due to one's birth advantages, that others can't reach/achieve

or was the sin named after the animal? in which case I propose we make up a LOT of new sins all named after animals :D

Wait, people are trying to connect introversion and intelligence?? Wtf is this

Neue Corona-Variante breitet sich in Europa aus: Hohe Fähigkeit, der Immunreaktion zu entgehen Neue Corona-Variante LP.8.1 breitet sich in Europa aus. Experten warnen: „Hohe Fähigkeit, der Immunreaktion zu entgehen“. Impfstoffe werden angepasst.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass auch dieses Jahr wieder eine Sommerwelle rollen wird (aus 3 Gründen: Anpassung der Varianten, Abklingen der Immunisierungen vom Herbst nach 6+ Monaten (egal ob Impfung oder Infektion) und viel Ignoranz, weil "ist ja vorbei"-Denke). Die Zahlen steigen grade wieder an.

WOOOO congrats! That is such a good feeling!

South Memphis is choking while Elon Musk’s AI company cuts corners.

xAI’s massive supercomputer burns so much energy that local utilities can’t keep up so they installed 35 methane gas turbines right in the heart of a neighborhood already suffering from toxic air.

This is such a good point – I'd never considered it from that angle before, but you're right!

I've spent my whole adult life studying and working in the field of translation. It's almost a red flag to me at this point if anyone uses the word "faithful" to refer to translation – it shows they don't know what #translation really is. This review beautifully explains why.

This resource for people getting started on Pillowfort looks great! Thanks @krveale.bsky.social :)

I'm unaware of any Canadian outage, but I hope it's solved soon!

Meanwhile, if you want to combat real alarmism, I'd suggest focusing on the posts where people are spreading conspiracy theories about Putin causing this. Or even the BBC, which used not only the word "huge" but also "chaos" ;)

My daughter’s linocut of a wren

I’ve mentioned on here that my 16 yo daughter is dialling down schoolwork overwhelm by making linocuts. Here’s her latest design:

Canada? Since when has Belgium been in Canada 😂 I think we're talking about different things here... No need for tone-policing, in any case!

Parts of France are also affected, Andorra as well, and outages have been reported as far away as Belgium, according to the latest info!

I'd be interested!

Empfehlung von einem Freund – ich freu mich drauf. Es gibt viel zu wenige Dokus, die das Anderssein einfach als solches darstellen, nicht nur als etwas "grundsätzlich Unerwünschtes".
