i really dislike media that makes me go "did... did a writer write this?" (i.e. writer protagonist, ~the power of stories~, coming-of-age movie where someone wants to become a writer, struggling novelist returns to backwater home, that kind of thing)

and it's so pervasive!

please, someone write what you don't know too at some point

learning through the medium of geoguessr that my left-right confusion does extend to east and west
in reply to wayfinder

and now it has me wondering whether it has something to do with my inclination toward left-right symmetry in art...


i sometimes worry that i've made the wrong parts of my memory searchable

I'm so, so enamoured with this. I've been working on the concept pretty much since March, talking to artists whose works I've been deeply in love with, in some cases for over a decade. And now I can finally share the project with everyone.
echtzeitkultur.org/en/2024/exh…

If you're somewhere close to Basel in September, stop by and have a look!

For now, I'm getting back into the busy work - all six of them have a lot of extremely interesting stories to tell and artistic and/or technical prowess(e, tihi) to show off, and my pleasure and despair will be to somehow press it into a presentable, yet relatable format.
It's an absolute honour and pleasure working with them, and - who knows - if it goes well and we find the funding and interest, I'd be more than happy to extend the exhibition and take it on tour, as there are so many more stories to tell and great artworks to show.

We asked 1,000+ attendees to mask indoors this weekend, and everyone just did. I didn’t have to stop and remind a single person the entire 3 days.

There were definitely gaps in the policy, the risk wasn’t reduced to zero, but if anyone is wondering if it’s possible for events and large gatherings to make reasonable accommodations to reduce the risk of spreading COVID, it absolutely is, we proved it, and your event should be doing it too.

where does this apparently omnipresent desire to put a comma after the subject in a sentence come from? i see it in english and german
in reply to wayfinder

I’ve seen ot called ‘boomer comma’ in English, but haven’t found any discussion of the phenomenon. For German, there’s this blog post: derzwiebel.wordpress.com/2022/…. I’m not sure we’re talking about the same comma position, though


(dt.) Heiratsschwindler = (spa.) mariposa
(dt.) Telefonhörer = (ital.) amore
(engl.) teetotaler = (dt.) Kanone
(dt.) Imker = (ital.) carabinieri

Hot take: public transit should not be run "for profit". The profit comes from everybody getting to their destination quickly, efficiently, and predictably.


Von Waschen und Trommeln
Ein Gedicht

Die WaMa war schon immer schlecht,
Doch wird es immer schlimmer, echt.
Drum hab ich für Verband gesorgt,
Drei neue beim Versand geborgt.

Die Shirts, die ich beim Testen wasche,
Kenn' ich wie meine Westentasche.
So weiß ich welches Modell gut war
Und bei welchem ich vor Wut gar'.

Auch wenn's Maschinchen leise schaut,
Sind die Dinger scheise laut!
Was sie aus meinen Stücken rein'jen,
Lässt Nachbarn meinen Rücken stein'jen.

Doch das entlockt mir massig Lachen,
Das bin nicht ich, das lass' ich machen!
Ergebnis in Kartei gepackt,
Auf and're Mietpartei gekackt.



when people draw using their right hand, it always just looks wrong
in reply to wayfinder

With context-less toots like this, I always try to find every possible way you could have hidden a pun in there.

ich habe gerade erfahren, dass "MTB" die abkürzung für "mountainbike" ist, und frage mich seitdem mal wieder, wofür das T steht (ähnlich wie beim RTW schon mal - da war es eingefügt, weil "RW" schon vergeben war.)

wenn es das t in "mountain" sein soll, dann müsste es doch eigentlich "MtB" geschrieben werden, oder?

Mt. Ainbike, das ist der Berg auf dem die ersten Downhill-Rennen veranstaltet wurden
in reply to wayfinder

Ich denke, hier spielt die Assonanz zu »ATB« (all-terrain bike) und »ATV« (all-terrain vehicle) eine Rolle

in reply to wayfinder

das tut mir leid. Ich hatte mal einen Twitteraccount mit Fotos von Hermes-Paketshops, da sind mir manchmal Beschwerden in die DMs geslidet.


"shudder" is just a shorter way to say "calm your tits"

Daniel Gibson reshared this.


don't like these always-attached bottle caps. when i pour, the cap slides down and the liquid starts to pour into the cap instead of where i am aiming; when i drink, the cap gets me in the chin or in the nose. and as a final fuck you, it takes a lot longer to find the right position to screw it back on than one that you had in your hand in the correct orientation while you were drinking or pouring

in reply to Abílio Costa

the ones i was fighting with when I wrote the post were these:

with this type, most commonly, one or both of the connections will break the first time you tilt the cap into its "open" position.

and even if they don't break, they'll be flimsy enough and deformed enough that the ring slides around

cw: a funny butt


nsfw

lately, most videos on youtube from creators with more than like a thousand subscribers will have the first couple of comments be from spambots that say something like "your channel is so wholesome! this content is giving live 👏 i am excited to see what you'll talk about next!" and then it has just a full frame of butt as its profile picture.

but you know what, i don't mind! i just think of them as dorothy in one of my favorite pictures of all time:
