There seems to be only one legit posting account on that instance, posting China's Xinhau news. I ended up Fediblocking the entire instance (I was up to 4 Nicole's on that instance and just decided to bitbucket the whole thing).

We need more Tesla jokes — specifically about how dangerous they are.

Here’s the thing: all cars can catch fire, and all EV fires are especially hard to put out. But Teslas are •uniquely• dangerous:

When jokes like that can get a laugh, Elon Musk is cooked. Like a Tesla.

No Trump tariff on Russia, oh my!
Officials host Putin's man,
Investment plans span,
But the conflict still looms in the sky.

A pretty girl complimented me today and i literally looked down, put my hands in my pockets, and kicked at the ground with one foot.

Person: What's it like working at your org?

My employees: Well, there's an higher than average number of shark plushies. And my boss randomly swings around a baseball bat in meetings...oh, don't worry, she's not threatening anyone or breaking things, I swear...

tbf, I can't imagine the average number of workplace shark plushies is a hard threshold to cross

La imagen muestra la espalda de una persona vestida con un traje de rayas negras y blancas, con el cabello que se asemeja a una cabeza de diente de león. El cabello, que es blanco y fino, se extiende en todas direcciones, creando una forma circular que recuerda a la cabeza de un diente de león. En la parte superior derecha, una semilla de diente de león se ha separado del resto, flotando suavemente. El fondo es completamente negro, lo que resalta la textura y el color del cabello. La imagen es surrealista, combinando elementos humanos y naturales de manera inusual.

No matter how vague or oddly specific a security concern is, if it's real, there exists some infosec nerd that hyperfixated on it years ago far past the point of expertise.

There's also roughly a 30% chance this nerd is trans, and another 30% chance this nerd is a furry, and a 25% chance they're both.

My guess: He is keen on taking every path there is to be a long-term part of the history. Even such small side stories about one president planting a tree which has been chopped down by the douche bag POTUS will be remembered for a while. After flushing archives, he might be the only thing left to talk about retrospectively. It all makes kind of sense.

Jackson is probably the only former president who can give Trump competition in the historical record. It is only natural that he would want to attack Jackson’s legacy.


Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen- saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy.

Reading PG Wodehouse's mostly forgotten early work "The Swoop!" (1909) As far as I know it's his only example of parody, in this case of the then-popular genre of invasion novels. I'd say it's his first book that's legitimately funny.
Als Antwort auf Zach Weinersmith

The Chinese and African invaders have the most offensive stereotypes, but the illustrations (not by Wodehouse) are doing a lot of the work there. It's also a little too goofy in places to be really funny. But early on it has a fantastic bit, where Germans invade a British household.
Als Antwort auf Zach Weinersmith

The joke is that the patriarch of the family has trouble be convinced of the situation, and instead just tries to be polite to the German conquerors. Finally the German says "We are invaders." The polite Englishman replies: "Not at all. Not at all.
