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

@Gargron Oh god brown sauce! Block, mute, unfollow!! Worcestershire sauce is the finest sauce and has fish in it! Jasper took a nap today, too. 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. #EmotionalSupportChicken @eschicken #ESChicken #Knitting @knitting I sometimes think he loves his brush more than he does me. #CatsOfMastodon #caturday #OtisBDriftwood 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

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. 1/ 2/ 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'). 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. https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-pro-trump-custom-hashtag-icon

@Gargron I've never had this much appreciation for a plushie in my life before. I want one. 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 :) |
