I love this, thank you!

Hehe. The image makes it look like pine matures to oak and hickory.

Given the colloquial meaning of daddy nowadays, that name tickles me greatly.

Really. A bigger screen just gives my dog a bigger target when he flails his toys around.

Shit, I need to step up my game!

Which is probably why he wants to hollow out NASA and have SpaceX take their place.

Which is why we need to get off corpo platforms. A corporation will never care for people or look out for people's best interests, it only ever cares about finances going up, and will put that before everything. An authoritarian regime wanting to censor their genocide? Absolutely. Fuck the victims, it's more important that our pockets are well lined.

Bluesky is just twitter. It's the same bullshit with a different recipe. It'll never be a good platform for democracy.

Oh my heart. 😭

I think you're underestimating how many women use the internet. They just don't go swing that around much because of the harassment it tends to attract.

Bhallanges.

Here in Sweden you have loads of languages on packages, but the only time you mix languages mid sentence is when you're trying to save space in the instructions/information label. You'll often see Norwegian, Danish, and sometimes Swedish mashed together because we share a lot of words.

So you'll see like

Ingredienser
Vatten/vann, socker/sokker, kakao, smör/smør

What you generally don't see is product names that are a mashup of two languages. You do sometimes, and generally my knee-jerk reaction is also that it's a bit obnoxious.

I think that really only applies when they hamfistedly mash Swedish and English together. Worst I've ever seen was "pullad pork." It's like they attempted to make "pulled" sound Swedish, but somehow forgot that "pullad" already is a word. Thus making it sound like someone has sexually assaulted a pig.

Eugh.

Thanks for sharing this blog. Read a few posts, I'm particularly fond of "The Authenticity Drought." This is a good blog!
