Missed this. Lol. Yet another article framing Fedi as unsuccessful because businesses and advertising have failed to get a foothold. 😂

European social platform W is coming. Will users leave X for it?

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey I do enjoy it here despite hating every other form of social media. I‘d truly be much unhappier if I couldn‘t write my 20 toots a day and hit the delete button.

Much in this world depends on setting a good example.

In related news, here is Trump’s Secretary of Health telling podcast listeners how he is used to snorting cocaine off toilet seats, so germs are nothing to be scared of.

Tell me… are we still living in reality… or is everything just satire now?

@randahl It‘s all about perspective. In a scenario where someone held a gun to my head and told me in a frail breaking voice to snort cocaine from a toilet seat, while some orange guy in the background was ranting about raping or killing someone on 5th avenue without consequences, I wouldn‘t be afraid of the germs either. But that‘s probably not a situation RFK is refering to.

Deleted earlier post offering to screen Superbowl style mega ads for a million pounds on Fedi. In reality there is no amount of money I would be willing to advertise things for here. Not even the NEW and IMPROVED Colgate toothbrush, now with nose-cleaning attachment. Available now in all good bookstores.

@TheBreadmonkey @falcennial Can the wires be swapped for razor-blades for nose-hair removal? Unlike other freaks here this is not a condition I am suffering from! I´m just asking for a friend!

If only the word HOLIDAYS had a letter shaped like a Christmas tree...

Store window with a Heather grey sweatshirt with green writing that kiiind of says HOLIDAYS except they replaced the I with a tree rather than the A which would make way more sense.

@w7voa I often worry about how dependent we are on the internet.
A few „accidentally“ cut cables in the north sea, the Taliban as shining example for other authoritarian regimes coughUSAcough and everyday live gets complicated.
I actually started buying medical books again. They are often not really updated/maintained and the info is sometimes 10+ years old, but I guess that’s better than nothing, if online texts disappear because the current rulers don‘t like the science.

@lowqualityfacts A poodle trained to bark at poor people is called a poordle. Barking at rich people is the domaine of the rhodesian richbark. I personally object to both.

There's speculation at the Pentagon and elsewhere that President Trump this afternoon will announce that the Department of Defense is going to revert back to being the Department of War (created in 1789 and dissolved in 1947).

@w7voa The Department of War is based somewhere around the Gulf of America just south of Epsteinistan.

Trump putting an election denier in charge of elections is like hiring a bank robber to guard the vault. We see you, Donnie.

A screenshot of an X post by No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen (@NoLieWithBTC ) from 13 hours ago, commenting that "He's laying the groundwork to steal the next election." The post includes a quote from People For the American Way (@peoplefor ) also from 13 hours ago, stating that Donald Trump appointed Heather Honey, an election denier who tried to overturn the 2020 election, to oversee U.S. elections. The image shows two side-by-side photos: one of Donald Trump in a blue suit with a red tie and an American flag pin, and another of Heather Honey, a woman with glasses and long hair, wearing a dark suit, sitting with sunglasses on her head.

That explains a lot.

Cats prefer to lie in the sun because their fur is covered in microscopic plant matter, which allows the animal to gain energy through photosynthesis.

I do admire Rick Steins drive to find his fortune. Everyone knows he started out as a mobile disco guy and then somehow pivoted to celebrity chef. I think it's because you have to have a 'thing'. And he just thought 'I'm gonna be the fish guy'. Jamie Oliver had Britpop. Gordon Ramsay had being a big bastard. Perhaps I could do it. I could have a 'thing'. Just absolute chaos. No idea what I'm doing. Welcome to cooking with Ben. This week we let him loose in a tent full of melons, let's see what happens! Maybe I could have a catchphrase - at the end of each episode, I turn to camera, covered in food, smile and say 'well that's what you get 🤷'.

The secret truth is that all movies and TV shows are bad. The only valid forms of entertainment are 500 page books about political economy and cat hugs.

So uh, now that pretty much everyone has established that none of us gives a fuck about Trump's ear getting clipped and in fact the bandage is quite funny, I suppose all you melodramatic liberals who spent the entire day chiding everyone for posting, and talking like Tom Brokaw trying to "heal a wounded nation" are gonna come back and sheepishly apologize for the maudlin emoting, right? Right?

(Yeah, I won't hold my breath.)

@sanpan@mas.to avatar

@AnarchoNinaWrites I'm not going to talk about the man behind the ear, but I do wonder if people in 50 years will talk about the bandage the same way they talk about a certain funny mustache. On a side note: the pictures of people bandaging their ears out of solidarity are going to stay with me a long time.
