"Brotkonsum bricht ein"
Viele Menschen können sich Brot schlicht nicht mehr leisten. Darauf in der Bundespressekonferenz angesprochen antwortete Bundespressesprecher Kornelius "Die Regierung schlägt der Bevölkerung vor stattdessen mehr Kuchen zu essen. Dies sei zwischen den Ressorts so abgestimmt worden."

Das Bild zeigt eine malerische Landschaft mit steilen, felsigen Bergen im Hintergrund, die in einem klaren, blauen Himmel stehen. Die Berge sind mit spärlicher Vegetation bedeckt, die sich an den Felswänden festhält. Im Vordergrund sind einige Gebäude zu sehen, darunter eine Kirche mit einem hohen Turm, die sich in die Berge einfügt. Die Kirche und die umliegenden Häuser sind in warmen, pastellfarbenen Tönen gehalten, was sie harmonisch in die natürliche Umgebung einfügt. Die Vegetation um die Gebäude herum ist grün und dicht, was auf eine mediterrane Landschaft hinweist. Der Himmel ist wolkenlos, und die Sonne scheint hell, was die Farben der Landschaft noch intensiver erscheinen lässt.

I’ve never had a real need for these “activity notifications” so I wasn’t sure if these were available for #Mastodon. I checked and was not surprised to see that they are indeed already there. What surprised me was that #Bluesky only added them now.
