@GottaLaff oh boy… this makes me nervous. I’m blue no matter who… but I desperately hope 3 months is enough time to solidify the enthusiasm around our new candidate 😬

Laurie Kay

@GottaLaff I am terrified that this will devolve into chaos. And I feel terrible for Biden, who has done a spectacular job.

Jasper took a nap today, too.
I never took naps unless I was sick until I retired. Now, a nap always sounds like a good idea.

I moved Matilda from her usual spot on the worktop, because I'm roasting a chicken in the slow cooker, and it seemed tactless. She seems to have settled down to some web browsing.

Mastodon is the world's biggest community of people who deeply love computers and also think that the world would probably be better off without computers

Looks like you're right where you need to be. 👍🏻

@Gargron Nah, just the usual snafu with a more than average amount of people noticing. If the photo is representative for what you are currently doing, you're doing the right thing.

@Gargron Nah. Skies are blue, and some screens are too.

The word 'welcome' may be interpreted as 'well-come', like 'well-received' and 'well-deserved'.

However, it stems from a Germanic word meaning "desired guest".

Perhaps under the influence of French 'bienvenu' ("welcome", literally "well-come"), the perception and the form of the English word and its Germanic cognates were altered. The infographic shows how.

Due to lack of space, unfortunately I wasn't able to include the North-Germanic forms, such as Icelandic 'velkominn', Danish and Norwegian Bokmål 'velkommen', Nynorsk 'velkomen', and Swedish 'välkommen'. These may be loan translations of Middle Low German/Saxon 'wil(le)komen'.

Middle English had multiple other compound words containing 'wil-', such as 'wilspell' ('desired news'), 'wildaȝe' ('desired day'), 'wiltidende' ('desired tiding'), and 'wilgomen' ('pleasant sport').

@yvanspijk I'd love to boost these but they need alt-text.

Journalists who remain on Twitter at this point will be remembered for their capitulation to the forces that are working to end democracy, and by extension freedom of expression. mashable.com/article/elon-musk

@dangillmor isn't that paid advertisement? And anyone can get such hash tags by paying?

Elon Musk’s X goes full pro-Trump with custom hashtag emoji icons

#MAGA now appears with a pic of Trump with his fist in the air

#Trump2024 appears with an American flag

if you click on the last hashtag, American flags rain down on the search page

How ‘bout instead of machines that steal from artists to “democratize creativity” we have machines that steal from billionaires to democratize money

@KydiaMusic Or we could make it easy and <gasp!> make them pay their fair share. Edgy concept these days, I know.

@KydiaMusic These terms are acceptable. Though I imagine this will be a lot harder to pitch to the boss for our new software stack.

But... I suppose they don't need to know :)

@KydiaMusic We have one.

It's been sabotaged.

It's called the government.
