Keeping the kitchen chair warm is a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. He’ll need a nap to recover later. #Caturday

Nuclear Bunker Turned Into R2-D2 By Mystery Street Artist #starwars

@NYTupelo7 I love teachers. Thank you for teaching our children

Twitter appears to have stopped third party Twitter apps from accessing Twitter, without any warning or explanation. The reason Twitter can do this is because they control twitter.com and there are no other servers to choose from.

This kind of instant shutdown cannot happen on Mastodon or the Fediverse, because there are thousands of independent servers running on free open software standards.

This is why third party apps are so much more widely used on Mastodon and the Fediverse.

As Carl lay there thinking about all of the life choices that led him to this point, his biggest regret was trusting that stupid cowboy and his space man friend.

And yet here you are, controlling what women can do with a bun in the oven.

one can eventually tire of simply crossing the road

@kbsez @MeidasTouch Yes, it's insanity.
We normal people see the iceberg ahead of us in full view, knowing what will come next...
while the "authorities" continue business as usual...no rush, no worries, no taking anything seriously....until we CRASH into that iceberg.
Then you'll hear all the "we should have" & "we could have" scenarios.
But by then, it will be TOO LATE!
Democracy will be dead.

OK, language weirdness question.

Someone recently said:

"I just about caught the train."

Did they catch it or not? Perhaps it depends whether you think of English as (one of) your first language(s).

As always, if you're happy to do so I'd be grateful if you'd boost for reach, and to get beyond my circle of followers.

Thank you!

"one reason the labor market is so tight right now is that many workers died from #COVID19."

This is a very concise and sober analysis of the tragic cost of human lives.
To the capitalists prioritizing the economy, this is what happened to labour market. https://www.axios.com/2022/12/16/the-missing-workers-who-are-never-coming-back

I love the mischievous "face" on this roof featuring eyebrow dormer windows by Polish architect Sebastian Pitoń. You can see some of his absolutely charming fairytale-like cottages here: https://themindcircle.com/wooden-cottages
