2009? Wasn't that when we did it in Essen? I spent most of the time on the balcony above, as I'd injured my leg. 😄

Oh, great. Based on his track record, that sounds like another war.

Might be worth pointing out that the event was organised by God TV, an American owned evangelical, televangelist organisation that has a habit of platforming homophobic and right-wing political preachers. As much as this is a tragedy, the event is far from being beyond reproach.

Watching him be a Wilderness Girl in Loaded Weapon should have put your mind at rest. 😆 But, yes, I concur. Terrifying. Some things just stick with you. Like "Ringu" (The Ring, Japanese original) in my case.

Cucumbers are fantastic. We have 2 plants outside who've been providing delicious cucumbers for 6 weeks now. More to come. We'll plant triple the amount next year. Gurke Power! 💪 LG from Saarland

I joined a few weeks ago. It's still quite empty, but the kindness, mutual respect, and the exchange of ideas and creativity are wonderful. I just keep posting. Hopefully, others will follow.

It's crazy to see Christians suddenly realize that being christian isn't as easy as they thought it would be when they signed up, and then decide to simply be selfish and side with Empire instead.

A blast from the past. Copy protection from 1993: Entering characters from the game's manual. Because, of course, video games had manuals back then. 🥰 The game: SSI / TSR's "Dungeons and Dragons - Dungeon Hack" (1993)

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

An old Soviet joke: The Home Office has announced that burglars have broken into its premises and stolen the election results. As a result, the elections scheduled for next weekend cannot go ahead. Let's see how this applies to Hungary. And the US.

Do we get to stone him to death for wearing mixed fabrics? Also, I'm sure I see some shrimp stains on his tie. What a wacko.

This is the picture I look at when I feel down... Maybe it'll help others.

A definite win. Academics will be writing dissertations for decades to come on Iranian propaganda. Has LEGO tried to Cease and Desist them? 😆

In the next village, there's a "mobile baker" who brings buns and breads in a car marked "Teilchenbeschleuniger." It's a great pun... General usage: "particle accelerator" (like the Large Hadron Collider) Literal translation: "bun (or tartlet/muffin/croissant) accelerator"

Parodies of men. They look like little boys pretending to be their fathers after finding his tie and whisky.

I just installed Mint on my office computer. I run a small woodworking business and have been trying to decentralise my systems and make them less US-product dependent. Switching to Linux was the key. I should have done this, as you did, 20 years ago. The Terminal still frightens me though. 😆

Just watched the Manosphere documentary last night. I've seldom felt that a planet-killing asteroid or a global flood would solve any problem at all, but right now, I'd be willing to sacrifice love, art, and science just to get rid of Red Pill ideologies. 🤮🤮🤮

Quite an interesting glance at freedom of speech. I'm not often one to push Youtube influencer crap, but this one stood out as being particularly valid and worth watching.

The former Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg lost to the Green party yesterday. When asked if he had considered electoral cooperation with the AfD, he answered: For me, no office in the world is so important that I would allow myself to be elected to it with the votes of the AfD. Excellent!
