This is an official from the Austrian People's Party talking to a young man of colour at the Oktoberfest in Munich. He tells the young man: "How about you just go home and wait there until we come there for vacation?" And then proceeds by saying: "You are not at home here".

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

Meta wants your data so they can exploit it. Whatever else they're talking about, that is always their motivation. In any context. You don't have to think hard about it. If it's a question of giving Zuck your data, the answer should always be hell no.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

When I read mining news, I always look up the companies to see their projects and who’s on the board to see if I know anyone. This is how I usually realize which companies are sketchy, or at least appear that way. Well today I saw this article: www.mining.com/greenland-mi...

The company is proposing a North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor linking the territory’s resources with downstream processing.

Trumpism running out of steam? Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje... #Trump #Trumpism #ApprovalRating #USA
A political cartoon depicts a paddle steamer boat labeled 'TRUMPISM', with its stern teetering over the edge of a waterfall. Trumps stands in front at the helm. The vessel has a smokestack billowing dark smoke. The furnace door is open, and a worker with a red MAGA cap is looking at the stack of coal left in a large metal box labeled 'approval rating'; it is as good as empty. At the waterfall edge, a wooden signpost points downward and reads: 'WAR', 'COST OF LIVING', and 'EPSTEIN'.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels is "Young Me".
In panel one we see a young version of Sarah, the protagonist. She says, "I want to achieve great things".
In panel two we zoom in a little on young Sarah's face. She continues, "An astounding career! An amazing house! World peace!"
The title for the last two panels is "Adult Me".
In panel three we see adult Sarah, looking down.
In panel four we zoom out and see she is in front of a basil plant. She simply says "I want to grow a basil plant".
