It has come to my attention that some folks still have not seen the term "acoustic bike" (as in, not an ebike) and in case that's you, today is your lucky day

Varför ett barn i Cyklopernas land? Nej tack

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world. If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Everyone should Bara Bada Bastu

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

New personal development goal ✅

Wish I was there ❣️

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Usch, Trump-supportern Annika Sörenstam i På Spåret 🤮

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Tough day for German politics that feels like it crept up and then happened very suddenly. For the CDU to actively seek a majority with the far-right and in many ways extreme AfD is Rubicon crossed with no way back.

Påminner mig om Beppo i Momo

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

84, Charing Cross Road is a marvellous book 🥲

One of 12 in the collections, this 'magic' potato was donated by a Mr Burgess, Clerk of Works at Oxford University in 1897. Carried for years in pockets (the ultimate jacket potato), potatoes were thought to be a cure for rheumatism - the only catch, they had to be stolen first to be most effective!

ChatGPT is down? Huh. Crazy how that doesn't affect my life in literally any way at all

Today I learned that there is a Wikimedia Commons category "animations of shoes" with 86 gifs, all but one of which are rotating animations created by a guy named "Karl Martini" who calls his signature rotation style the "Martini Spin." I will never be bored on this website

anyone seen the Von Trapp Family Singers? They were supposed to perform at the inaugural ball tonight, but they haven't shown up. weird.

this will be no problem for me as i only watch TikTok videos on instagram three weeks after they’ve already gone viral, like an adult

Big week for me legally releasing some of the hate in my heart ☺️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Same, every day

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Meta is deleting links to Pixelfed, a decentralized, open source Instagram competitor that has had skyrocketing signups in recent days: www.404media.co/meta-is-bloc...

I don’t think it’s an outrageous thing to ask why, if news programming continues to have a regular sports section, which most do, shouldn’t they also have an arts section? I don’t understand why hearing about transfer fees etc is news? I’d rather learn who just got cast, or has a brand new book out.

It's important to acknowledge the loss of heritage & how that will contribute to grief. It's also important to remember that heritage always includes and works with loss, recovering from the fire will use heritage and create new heritage.

I hate to get political on here but I think it's important that we continue to have a habitable planet

Must go to Oxford to meet these guys.

Cord Jefferson, quitting Instagram, sums many things up: “I don’t need Instagram to be a haven for free speech for the same reason I don’t need a Jamba Juice or a Hooters to be a haven for free speech.”
