The image features a cartoon character, Yogi Bear, standing against a plain white background. Yogi Bear is depicted with a brown body, wearing a green neckerchief and a white shirt with a collar. He has a cheerful expression, with his mouth open as if he is speaking, and his right arm is extended outward. The text above the image provides information about Yogi Bear's design, explaining that his collar allowed animators to keep his body static while only redrawing his head in each frame when he spoke, reducing the number of drawings needed for a seven-minute cartoon from around 14,000 to around 2,000. The text is in white font on a black background, and the source of the information is credited to "Ultrafacts.tumblr.com" at the bottom of the image.

First of all, fuck The Guardian. Thir role in manufacturing the modern trans panic cannot be overstated.

But second of all, *holy fucking shit*. A drug that HALVES the probably of early death among patients in a class is almost unheard-of. Like, I'd heard rumblings about Wegovy and co's heart benefits, but nothing like this.

If confirmed, this changes everything.

New Comic Strip found: Arctic Circle by Alex Hallatt for Sun, 31 Aug 2025 arcamax.com/thefunnies/arcticc…

#comicstrip #arcticcirclestrip



I need a new router. Ours is well over 10 years old and not really keeping up anymore. I lose signal on the far side of the house and is just underperforming.

I don't game and we don't have high network needs. Is there a brand/model that works well for you? Open to recommendations.

Ugh, I definitely have a virus. Looks like I’m skipping the DnD cookout today. 😕


I'm having a hard time staying away from programming and work stuff. I should probably spend today just playing video games nonstop. It's healthy to switch off sometimes.
in reply to Roni Rolle Laukkarinen

I often have the same issues. Working a lot and then also some work days are coming where it’s hard to do any work. Since last year I started to do things outdoor at least an hour per day like walking, doing something in the garden, running, etc I have a much better rate one keeping the level and still a high motivation.



Dieses Jahr bleibe ich lieber daheim
bei dem Wirrwarr muß verreisen nicht sein.
Tu meine Phantasie und Kreativität entfalten.
will den Balkon in ein Urlaubsparadies umgestalten.

[.]

Freudig begebe ich mich zu meiner Liege
glücklich unter meine Decke krieche.
Genieße einen Cocktail höre südländische Musik und
schau auf die Sterne und stelle fest ich muß
überhaupt nicht in die Ferne.

Das Bild zeigt eine idyllische Landschaft mit einem blauen Himmel, der von weißen, flauschigen Wolken durchzogen ist. Im Vordergrund sind grüne Blätter und Pflanzen zu sehen, die teilweise im Fokus sind. Hinter diesen Pflanzen erheben sich dichte Bäume, die verschiedene Größen und Formen haben. Die Bäume sind dicht mit grünen Blättern bedeckt, was auf eine gesunde Vegetation hinweist. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Bäume und ein Teil eines Gebäudes zu erkennen, das teilweise von den Bäumen verdeckt wird. Die Uhrzeit und das Datum, 31.08.2025 um 15:33, sind im Bild eingeblendet.

Right-wing libertarians are fundamentalist neoliberals: They truly believe that the market as it is self-regulates, and that the state machinery is useless in this. Right-wing libertarianism is an admission of belief and ultimate faith in the deified market. #politics

"The killing of journalists in the Gaza war is its own genocide. According to the Costs of War Project, it marks the single deadliest conflict for journalists in world history.

By mid-August, Israel had killed up to 274 journalists, with 269 of them Palestinian, according to aggregate data from the Committee to Protect Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists."

"Showing Putin Who's Boss!"

China's Xi Jinping did not arrive at the airport to greet Putin personally.

Putin arrived in China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Previously, Trump couldn't bend low enough to kiss Putin's ass at the Anchorage, Alaska Airport!

I am happy you like them, may Battle Sloth bring you great fortune and many victories.


in reply to Günter

Gemeint ist in diesem Zusammenhang die neudeutsche Bedeutung, also diskriminieren als herabsetzen, ausgrenzen und vorstäzlich schaden zufügen.
in reply to Günter

Natürlich wäre dieses Umdeuten von Worten viel schwieriger, würden wir deutsche Worte verwenden, wo es deutsche Worte gibt. Aber dieser Gedanke ist ja auch schon als rechtsradikal im orwellschen Sinn eingeordnet, weil viele ein höheres Bewustsein erlangen würden, wenn man wieder "deutsch" spräche und nicht nur denglisch.
