The image is a black and white photograph from 1929, depicting two wax mannequins in a department store setting. The mannequins are dressed in early 20th-century fashion, with one wearing a white sleeveless top and black shorts with a belt, and the other in a black sleeveless dress. Both mannequins appear to be melting, with their wax material visibly deforming. The background features stacks of boxes with the word "GROSE" and other indistinct text, along with a sign that reads "SLAZER LAWN TENNIS." The mannequins are positioned in a way that suggests they are leaning or slumping, emphasizing the melting effect. The image is captioned with text at the top, stating "Department store wax mannequins melting during a heatwave in 1929," and includes a "Send a gift" button at the bottom.

"Yes, but had the old lady been a bit slower we could have saved Social Security another $1200 bucks a month" - more code from the vibe of Big Balls

I have noticed Telsas circling just waiting for me to dare cross the street. It's like they are looking up my face in govenment, health, employment and social media records to assign me DOGE score.

These are the droids looking for me

Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen Vogel, der auf einem Holzdecke sitzt, das an ein Gewässer grenzt. Der Vogel hat ein glänzendes blaues Gefieder auf dem Kopf und Rücken, ein weißes Brustgefieder und einen auffälligen orangefarbenen Kehlkopf. Er hat ein schmales, spitzes Schnabel und ist in einer ruhigen Umgebung zu sehen. Das Deck besteht aus horizontalen Holzplanken und ist mit einem grauen Metallrand versehen. Im Hintergrund ist ein ruhiges Gewässer zu sehen, das die Umgebung spiegelt. Die Farben des Bildes sind natürliche und ruhig, mit einem Kontrast zwischen dem blauen Gefieder des Vogels und dem grünen Wasser.

Das Bild zeigt ein großes Stück rohes Fleisch, das auf einem weißen Schneidebrett liegt. Das Fleisch ist mit einer glänzenden Marinade bedeckt, die aus einer braunen Flüssigkeit besteht, die mit Gewürzen und Kräutern wie Petersilie und Knoblauch vermischt ist. Die Marinade hat eine glatte, leicht schimmernde Textur und bedeckt das Fleisch vollständig. Einige Gewürze und Kräuter sind sichtbar, was auf eine sorgfältige Zubereitung hinweist. Das Fleisch ist in einer natürlichen, roten Farbe, was darauf hinweist, dass es frisch ist. Die Marinade hat sich leicht über das Fleisch ergossen und bildet eine kleine Pfütze auf dem Schneidebrett. Der Hintergrund ist ein grauer, möglicherweise steiniger oder kohlenstoffhaltiger Arbeitsplatte.

You ever open up a map app and scroll around rural China?
You’ll find some interesting things.
Like this, pictured below.
Any experts want to take a stab at what on earth this could possibly be?

Look at the scale compared to surrounding buildings. Interesting ...

The image is a black and white photograph from 1929, depicting two wax mannequins in a department store setting. The mannequins are dressed in early 20th-century swimwear, with one wearing a white top and black shorts with a belt, and the other in a black sleeveless dress. Both mannequins appear to be melting, with the wax visibly deforming and dripping down their bodies. The background features stacks of boxes with visible text, including "GROSE" and "SLAZER LAWN TENNIS," suggesting a promotional display. The mannequins are positioned in a way that suggests they are melting due to a heatwave, as indicated by the text overlay. The overall scene captures a humorous moment from the past, highlighting the effects of extreme heat on the wax material.

Das ZDF und die Gefährdungslage Andrea Kiewels danisch.de/blog/2025/07/05/das… Noch ein etwas genauerer Blick. Ein Leser moppert zum Artikel von heute morgen an: Eine Frage, weil ich dazu nirgends etwas finde – nichtmal in den Randmedien. Wie kommst du darauf, dass Kiewel Jüdin ist? Ja, sie ist mit nem Israeli liiert, wohnt in Tel Aviv und hat ihren Lebensmittelpunkt dort, aber nirgends irgendwas zu […] #news #press

That's not quite what's going on. Mastodon will do a preview of the first link it finds in your post, which in this case is my Wikipedia article.
in reply to Tim Bray

Yes, that is what I meant to say. But it will not do this for a post that already has an image, so some people have been using that to avoid an irrelevant preview.
