Cat's crazy non-technical climb
#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.

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.

A wide, scenic landscape photograph depicts a valley nestled between snow-covered mountains at dusk or dawn. The foreground is dominated by the dark silhouettes of numerous trees, likely evergreens, creating a dense wooded area. Beyond the trees, a sprawling valley stretches out, partially covered in snow with visible winding paths and small structures. The mountains in the distance are capped with snow and fade into a vibrant sky filled with shades of orange, yellow, and pink. There is no text present in the image.

The valley floor is a mix of dark fields and snow-covered areas, with a winding path or river visible in the distance. The mountains rise steeply on both sides of the valley, their slopes covered in snow and shadowed by the low angle of the sun. The sky is a pale, cloudy orange and white, with thin streaks of clouds stretching across the horizon.

A wide, outdoor shot depicts a steep, rocky mountainside with a road running along its base. The most prominent feature is a tall, jagged rock formation rising sharply from the slope, appearing dark brown in color and casting a shadow on the hillside. Patches of snow are visible on the upper sections of the mountain and scattered along the slope. A retaining wall supports the road, and a tunnel entrance is visible within the wall, marked with a yellow and white sign. Dense green trees cover the distant mountain peaks on either side, set against a clear, bright blue sky.

Here's an alt-text description of the image:
A handheld GPS device is being held in a hand, with a snowy landscape in the background. The device has a dark gray casing and a color screen displaying a topographical map. The screen shows various data points, including current elevation and coordinates. On the front of the device are several buttons labeled "FIND", "MARK", "QUIT", "PAGE", and "MENU." The top of the screen reads "GPSMAP 66i," and some of the displayed data includes "630.3" and "11026". The backdrop is blurred snow with out-of-focus branches visible.
