#Germany has for centuries been a conglomerate of many tribes. The neighbour tribe of Alemannen gave the #French name Allemagne.

#Polish name #Niemcy comes from *němьcь - speechless - since German is not mutually intelligible with #Slavic languages.

#Faroese word for #Germany is #Týskland. It derives from Old High German work #diutisc (of or pertaining to the people or tribe). In #OldNorse it became þýðskr/þjóðskr and later formed #Tyskland in Scandinavian languages.

J'ai une idée de roman qui s'appellerait La Vérité si je mens sur l'affaire Charles Harry Quebert Dexter Ward. J'ai peur que le titre soit un peu long pour un roman si court. C'est l'histoire d'un auteur de polar qui décide d'arrêter le polar, et alors il lui arrive plein de trucs horribles impliquant des monstres aquatiques et chtoniens et des découverts bancaires effrayants, du coup il refait un polar qui se passe entre la Suisse et la Norvège avec une flic TDAH, HPI, Asperger et somnambule...

@Marabilles Kathy Bates est phénoménale. Ils sont tous incroyables je trouve. Je crois que c'est la première fois que j'ai autant aimé le film que le livre. C'est sans doute pour ça que je voue un culte à cette adaptation.

I think they must have someone else running the account now. Peak Wendy would not have stood for such insolence.

Y'all, you have to read this absolutely WILD interview with Ol' Crazy Eyes herself, the White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

#Wiles spoke to Vanity Fair and trashed top Trump officials and allies, calling Vice President JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist” and Tesla CEO Elon Musk an “avowed ketamine [user].” She also undercut Trump’s claims about #Epstein.

She also called Trump and Epstein, those gross pedophiles in their 40s "young playboys", in a "boys will be boys" dismissal of child rape.

So, she's awful. And has serious crazy eyes. Susie will cut a bitch, I'm just sayin.

I have paid no attention to the W.H. staff. Miller looks the part of a WWII SS officer. They are all awful and I'll have nightmares constantly if I think about who is running the country...

@RegGuy In an administration like this one, where the CiC is completely bugfuck insane, watching the staffers is how you predict what's coming. Like all of this immigration nightmare is because of Miller, may he find himself staked over a pile of fire ants.

calm waters :)

an unruffled puddle on a bright calm morning after overnight rain
presents an illusion; these things are not there. not only is this "not a pipe" it is not a depiction of a pipe...what is it? infrastructure as narcissus, admiring itself?

two different types of electric light structures, reflected in a puddle. on the right, a more conventional lamppost with a single light (LED maybe? flatter than traditional head, so presumably flatter bulb(s) within?); on the left an umbrel of six separate lights in a shape that pleasing resembles a head of cow-parsley or wild angelica or whatever the hell those things are called.

16 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy -- Alaska Medical Board, moving forward a GAC ban, loses quorum after member arrested on 10 counts of having child porn. After his bail release, he appears to have died in a blaze that consumed his house. The AK legislature has so far refused to enact a ban.
