With this said, just actually make a proposition of this madness is a shame for a parliament of this scale and dignity. They should know better. It is unworthy and it makes EU an embarrassment. Though not the first time and probably not the last.

The good news is there's still a chance to stop it. National governments need to weigh in and decided whether to support the idea.

Bad news - the European Parliament voted to ban "meaty" terms like burgers or nuggets from being used on meat-alternatives. That means no more veggie burgers or Quorn chicken.

Is Michelle at the Fed mentioned here, possibly a descendant to THE Dave Bowman who hovers around in space after his possibly unfortunate visit to Lapetus? #2001Aspaceodyssey

This is Sweden in one of its more exotic fashions. The island Gotland never stops amaze me. Today we walked the trail “Kustleden” from Ireviken to Harudden. Are you here @pergen.bsky.social ?

“You take this one, I take care of this” and so on. Otherwise we’ll get exhausted and occupied of reacting and run out of competing ideas and visions (if we aren’t already…)

Let’s take a couple deep breaths and realize we can’t react on the ongoing madness of our time for four years ahead.

They all got it wrong - except the bad (worse?) guys in the far East. Meanwhile everybody makes their everyday lull.

Jag försöker se det som sker nu som att företagen betalar för sin överlevnad - som gåvorna till kejsaren, eller beskyddarpengar till det kriminella nätverket.

…Extra svårt också när mycket av det man konsumerar hamnar i fickorna på företag baserade i länder där man saknar rösträtt.
Man kan ju också välja, eller låtsas, att vara helt politiskt ointresserad, hur det nu skulle gå till."

"Masculine Energy"
Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

This meme or what to call it really reaches the highest standards imo. So incredibly brilliant.
A copy of a tweet or similar with headline “What are the most profound jokes ever?” An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative, But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.” A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”

Sorry for not being serious, but sometimes a laugh could be a short-term comforter. The topic is really serious though, and in Sweden we should stop mimic everything you guys do, but it’s hard times here too right now. The Onion has a slew of valid points…

So strange behavior from the right-wingers to obsessively refer to “wokeness”, whilst normal people like me (🤔) don’t see “woke” in anything. Of course things can go a bit haywire when morality becomes business, but the trend of dismantling progressiveness is so tangible and tiresome.

Walmart, the world’s largest private employer, said it will roll back initiatives aimed at enhancing DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion, at the workplace, as such programs face growing legal scrutiny and conservative backlash.

This is in no way surprising, given nowadays political and moral and perceptional and whatever winds,streams and trends. The Airbnb idea is completely bizarre, for real. Who is the potential customer, and what goes on inside his/her head?

Massimiliano Smeriglio, Rome's councilor for culture, objected to Airbnb's idea, saying the Colosseum "must not be debased in the eyes of the world."

Sowed garlic for harvesting next year. A real serious attempt. I find the natures built-in lack of agility somehow liberating. It is more of continuum and resilience.
