Vor ziemlich genau sechs Jahren kam die Diagnose „Merkelzellkarzinom“ Aggressiv und unheilbar. Es folgten sehr schlechte und gute Zeiten. Seitdem hat mein kölner Heinzelmännchen alle zwei Wochen Immuntherapie. Unser Wunschessentag. Die Therapie wurde gerade neu erforscht und entwickelt Wäre er ein halbes Jahr früher erkrankt, hätte er es nicht geschafft. Einen Aufenthalt auf der Palliative Station macht ihn vom Rollstuhl abhängig. Was ich mir dieses Jahr wünsche? Noch ganz viele Wunschessentage
Awful things have been happening around this country and world lately, and so many this weekend alone. Trying to remember there are beautiful things too, like this photo Bob Anderson sent of an amazing Montana sunset with snow, ice and the Crazy Mountains.
From Wikipedia "...the community's present name stems from a time when it had a sanatorium to work with tuberculosis patients." Ah yes, that'll make people want to visit.
I was looking for grammar/spell-check language servers to use in Neovim and came across Harper (writewithharper.com/)
Turns out it also has extensions for Firefox/Chrome. I don't use Grammarly, but for people who do, could be a nicer, more private alternative — it's local-only and open-source.
So I’ve been thinking about the problem of ownership. Mainly, how much of this “stuff” matters.
In my house, I have a big collection of video games, music, books, and movies. Various physical formats—some of them obscure.
If I die, I know all this stuff gets liquidated.
The only exception, I’m sure, will be the vinyl—because this is something I listen to with my child every day and it’s her library as much as it’s mine.
The LaserDisc movies, though? It will be the first to go. Same with my collection of sci-fi novels.
I’ve tried to get other people into this stuff. No dice. Not a single care about these things I very much care about.
And I suppose, big picture, they don’t matter. It’s just stuff. But it’s also stuff that very much touched my life.
A Belarusian variation: Protests after the election. A bus stops, riot police storm out of it, and start beating the first guy they see. 'Stop!' he cries. 'I voted for Lukashenko!' Cops: 'Bullshit! No one voted for Lukashenko!'

I completely agree. It's now backfiring that conservative circles never considered Europe as a whole, but only as an economic union. #europe #eu RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ghkzf…
Trump plant offenbar die Rückkehr zu russischer Energie in Europa – genau gegen das, was die EU soeben beschlossen hat. Ein Blick in den "Friedensplans".
Douglas, Georgia. South Georgia tobacco sharecroppers. Fords are beginning to appear among the tobacco sharecroppers. They can bring the crop to the auction at the warehouse, take flour and groceries back to the farm and even carry the boys to Florida for a season's work in the fruit
... la contraproduent (per exagerada) dissociació entre ment i cos, entre consciència i experiència (entre la reflexió i l'espai on aquesta es viu com un esdeveniment), és resultat d'un hàbit... però, qui diu que els hàbits no es puguin canviar? 😆

man really a hard road trying to make ends meet as a carnival hypnotist soul jailer who is trying to break into the academic establishment to practice hypnotic soul jailing in the hospital #monsterdon
tip to hypnotic soul jailers everywhere: if the cops are questioning you about your role in a murder, don't say suggestively "it was no living thing that killed her" #monsterdon
the reason i'm wearing a mustache right now is because it's such a good bit and has always been a good bit throughout time. like what are all these guys doing with their faces. why are all their mustaches so goddamn busted? that's just what mustaches are for, for being busted #monsterdon
i'm totally tuning out this entire "men talking to each other through their noses" scene and can only focus on this guy's mustache and how it has carved it out from one narrow tooth-width street below his nose #monsterdon
though every word was actively repelled from my being, i gathered from that last scene that there is some large sum of money to be made in hypnotic soul jailing but there is an ethical hypnotist who refuses to launder the reputation of soul jailing hypnotists because it sets the scientific field of hypnosis back by generations #monsterdon
taking a wild stab at the plot here: there are dueling hypnotists, a good one and a shady carnival soul jailer one, orbiting a bit sum of money to be made in Big Hypnosis and the attendant merchandising and so on. Then there is also the spirit of femininity manifest in an ancient sea monster that the carnival hypnotist is trying to channel into this women who he has soul jailed. And then they are going to... uh... #monsterdon
Video. Catherine Drysdale became the first woman to win the Antarctic Ice Marathon in its 20-year history, finishing the 2025 race in 3:48:43 amid extreme conditions.
Oof. Providence police have released the person arrested Sunday morning for the Brown shooting, saying he is no longer considered of interest. So the shooter is still at large.
#gutenMorgen So, Weihnachten, dann komm mal. Wir sind vorbereitet. Es riecht sogar nach Lebkuchen in der bei uns. Ha! Uns kann keiner! 😎 #erstmalKaffee
All right, let me list all the consoles I own in order that I got them:
* NES * SEGA Genesis * SEGA Nomad * SEGA Saturn * Sony PlayStation (two of them!) * Game Boy Color * Game Boy Advance * Sony PlayStation 2 * Microsoft Xbox (two of them!) * Game Micro * Nintendo DS (three of them!) * Nintendo Wii * Microsoft Xbox 360 * Atari Flashback 5 * Nintendo 3DS * Famicom Mini * Sony PSP * Hyperkin RetroN 5 * Nintendo Switch * The C64 Mini
I thought about counting the Steam Deck and Legion Go. But no, those are handheld PCs. It’s the same reason I don’t count my Amazon Fire Stick as a console either—even though it can play games.
@CStamp For good reason, I’m not buying any more consoles ever again. The ones I currently have are interesting enough.
Plus, I’m going to be honest. I’ve become more and more jaded about physical ownership. The only consoles that my daughter is interested in are the Wii and Switch. But most of the time, she’s on iPad or PC.

As people made their way into the Indianapolis Union Station for a naturalization ceremony, federal officials stopped certain applicants and told them that they wouldn't be leaving the building with #US citizenship.
The #immigrants — who had already passed every step in the long #naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance Dec. 9, 2025, to become citizens. A federal directive handed down on Dec. 2, however, made that impossible for more than one third of people signed up for the Indianapolis ceremony.
Zhibo Zhao, a US Citizenship and Immigration Services official present at the event, said oaths of allegiance for 38 of the 100 participants were "canceled."

One person is seated on the side of the car while working intently on what seems to be a large tire or wheel that has been removed from its original position. This individual wears a wide-brimmed hat, dark jacket, trousers, and boots, suggesting they may be engaged in manual labor. Their posture indicates focus on their task.
The second person is standing behind the car's driver-side window, partially obscured by it.

This individual wears lighter-colored clothing and sunglasses, which are indicative of bright daylight conditions.
Various items surround them: bags filled with goods such as flour and groceries—likely staples for sharecroppers—are seen hanging from the car's side mirror or door handle, suggesting they may be in transit between laboring on a farm and selling produce at an auction.
