Russia: why does nobody like us? Also Russia:

If you needed another reason why NATO needs to exclude the US, and why all European governments and militaries should be buying exclusively European tech (or from values-aligned countries)... yowza

I love great tits. One of the local couple setting up shop in the birdhouse outside our patio, whose entry hole seems way too small for the fat little gits.

This is so cool. I had no idea tillandsias could flower!

Cactus figs are not true members of the Ficus carica family but are nonetheless edible and frequently used as a primary ingredient for jams and other sweet pastes.

I got about 4 lines into this before being hit with a mixture of "what a pile of tripe", "what a fundamentally and fatally flawed set of attitudes", and "what a piece of shit whoever wrote this must be." Let's start, briefly:

Seems like a lot of effort and danger just to show the world that you’re a short bus inbred analphabet.

So this is a Thing (tm)

I have a basic education in, and knowledge of, various belief systems, their literature, and their history. Unlike, so I’ m told, Pope Bob who knows absolutely nothing about theology. That said, if you subscribe to such stuff, how does this lot not meet almost every definition of the antichrist?

This is without a doubt the dumbest fucking thing I have ever done in the garden. I am 99% sure the Souddefrickens are having me on, but the proteas weren’t doing anything anyway besides attracting cat shit, so worth a shot just in case. @charlayn.eurosky.social

It is time for the Holy Father in Rome to call a crusade against the heretics and infidels. We must bring the serpent and his evil, blasphemous legions to heel. DEUS VULT!

#plantsky anyone aware of a good community plant disease/condition identifying app or forum? All the apps I find look pretty scammy. Looking for something like Seed. Paid recommendations are fine as long as it’s reputable and ideally supporting a legit institution. Any tips very welcome.

Holy shit he did it My boy JD actually did it, the mad lad Ok, so there's that whole Hormuz thing, and he diiid kinda kill the pope and rape that couch, but toppling Orbàn has to count for something, right?

With the world in the state it's in, I think it's about time for Coolio to come out of retirement and drop another album.

My mom got lost today in an area without street signs. The only landmark she had was my favourite graffiti in town: "A day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine". Ah, that's where you are. Thank you, lesbianBuds. I owe you one.

Any organisation that does not actively support and encourage its employees to work remotely is complicit in the undermining of European political, social, and economic viability and stability. Any "leader" that insists on physical presence is a threat.

SHUT IT DOWN, THE MOON IS TRANS

I love space stuff and I love Nutella, and yet, I so very very desperately would love to see this turn out to be paid product placement by Ferrero. The sheer pandemonium that would ensue would be even more awesome than the spaceflight itself, and almost as good as a jar of Nutella.

Baseball became pointless when you could no longer get cheap seats and beer and spend an afternoon on a couple of bucks. I will gladly retract this statement once it becomes at least 30% dogs.
