Der Bundespräsident kann jetzt den Bundestag auflösen, er muss es nicht… gar nicht auszudenken, wenn der eine ganz kecke Idee kriegt und morgen eine lange Ansprache hält, dass dieser Bundestag gewählt wurde und sich einfach an die Arbeit machen soll!

(Nein, das wird nicht passieren.)

"#Trump is about to betray his #rural supporters...CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein joins CNN’s Jessica Dean to discuss how Trump’s policy agenda, including tariffs, mass deportation, and cuts to Medicaid could conflict with the interests of his rural supporters."

Ich zeichne Fantasylandkarten, für Autor*innen und Verlage. Ich liebe es, entsprechende Welten zur besseren Orientierung für die Leser*innen visuell darzustellen. Die Landkarten zeichne ich ganz klassisch von Hand mit Bleistift oder Fineliner, um einen schönen handgemachten, »alten« Look zu erzielen, wie er für viele Fantasysettings gut passt.

Nur einen Einkauf abgeholt. Nicht von weit, nichts Schweres. Durch bestellte, aber dann doch nicht vorrätige sowie einen beim Einpacken vergessenen Artikel sogar gut 2,5 kg leichter als geplant. Alles paßte in eine Tasche.

Arme, Hände, Waden, Knöchel und Füße tun weh.

Das ist doch nicht normal. 😬​

I have my own theory why the
US Military is the Nr. 1 purchaser of #glitter.

But don't ask or tell.

A list of unsettling facts that keep me awake at night:

1. We don't know where eels come from and our best guess is somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

2. The reason Egyptian mummies are kind of rare nowadays is that the Victorians ate most of them.

3. If you are allergic to eating shrimp, you are also allergic to eating cicadas. If you are allergic to eating chocolate, you are also allergic to eating cockroaches.

4. In a blind sniff test, people cannot differentiate (better than chance) between the smell of Parmesan cheese and the smell of human vomit.

5. The #1 purchaser of glitter worldwide is the US Military. The current best theory about why, is that they cover grounded planes in it to prevent radar detection.

6. Chlorine has no smell. If you're in a pool and you smell chlorine, what you're smelling is the chemical reaction that occurs when chlorine and urine mix.

7. Figs aren't vegan, because wasps routinely crawl inside them and die.

8. Human babies are born without kneecaps and don't even begin to develop them until about 6 months old.

"Whether Gabbard is actively working on behalf of Putin and Assad, or if she is merely an unwitting and foolish consumer and regurgitator of Kremlin talking points, the result is much the same. Having Gabbard in the role of DNI so deeply compromises it that our allies won’t be able to trust that we can keep their secrets. That means a breakdown of shared intelligence, putting U.S. interests and personnel around the world at greater risk."

A worrisome prospect, indeed. I highly recommend this read. Stay vigilant, friends. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…

Would Tulsi Gabbard Side With Putin And Al-Assad As DNI?

Will Republicans really confirm a defender of despots to head up our national intelligence program?
