Bin froh, dass der Mann im zweithöchsten Amt der Republik so partei-agnostisch agiert:

"Rosenkranz hielt Auslieferungsbegehren gegen FPÖ-Abgeordnete zehn Tage zurück"

The #ewaste issue is also (mainly?) a #software challenge:

• “Windows 10 end of life could prompt torrent of e-waste as 240 million devices set for scrapheap” → itpro.com/software/windows/win… (the answer is #Linux btw)

• See the #Eroom concept by @nitot → driquet.info/1brc/#eroom-nitot…

The Bank of America Plaza, a 55-floor tower, was appraised at $188.9 million, down from $605 million 10 years ago.

For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 2: my hand-printed aluminum foil lithographic print of a wolpertinger, a composite creature from German folklore. A mythical deer-hare hybrid, something like a jackalope, often described as a fanged hare with antlers, bird parts (like wings or feet or even beaks) and other small mammal parts like those from a fox, pine marten or, as in this case, a squirrel body. 🧵1/n

Day 2
#ArtAdventCalendar

This "Down in Who-ville" quilt from 2015 hangs in my dining room, so the #Grinch isn't only watching the Whos, he's watching us enjoy roast beast, too!

Fun Fact: the design of this #quilt is from an appliqué pattern called Night Before Christmas that has Santa's sleigh flying over a village below, and I was going to just make the houses Who houses, but the #Grinch peering down instead came to me in a flash of inspiration

#HappyWholidays 💚❤️💚

"Cyber Monday"? So you're all supposed to go shopping online, and I'm supposed to shill you something?

Sigh.

Okay.

Fine.

I write books. You might like one. Identifying which one that might be is a you problem.

Here's Mezzo. This rat lifts.
