Is it just me, or is this whole Bricks and Minifigs story about the most boring story ever? Maybe there’s something about my algorithm but YT keeps pushing videos about it. I get it, that one guy lost a priceless Lego collection and that sucks, really, but why are there SO many videos about it?

I love this so much but there’s something about this statue that I can’t quite put my finger on.

The new statue of the Madonna at Santa Teresa di Gallura is an "abstract of Mary's form" 👀

I think I invented a new drink that’s a cross between a Soixante quinze (a.k.a. French 75) and a Hugo spritz. It’s basically the French 75 stuff with mint leaves muddled in. Help me think of a name for it. Maybe Victor Hugo spritz?

Life musings, part 4,108: There’s a saying: “when the wind changes, adjust your sails.” What they don’t tell you is that adjusting the sails involves pulling on a rope that is really hard to pull depending on how hard the wind is blowing…. (1/2)

…and sometimes you don’t have an electric winch, which makes pulling the rope way easier. Also sometimes the rope has bugs crawling on it. Also, you have to watch your head so you don’t get hit in the head with the boom. Sailing is hard, it turns out. (2/2)

Follow-up. What is Carambar? It’s a candy sold in France. It comes in caramel and fruit-flavored varieties. The fruit flavored ones are chewy, like Starburst. They have French jokes printed on the inside of the wrappers. It’s not the most awesome candy, though it’s not bad…. (1/2)

My interest in it is linguistic and cultural. In France, a “Carambar joke” (blague Carambar) basically means a dumb joke, like a kid joke. I figured I could learn some French from the jokes. I’m not ashamed to say I only get about half of the jokes. 😂 (And most of them are pretty terrible!) (2/2)

Learning French with Carambar wrapper jokes, Part 1: Q: Que faut-il faire quand on a le cafard? Réponse: Acheter de l’insecticide. “Avoir le cafard” means “to be depressed.” “Cafard” also means “cockroach.” I know this is a play on words, but if you interpret it wrong, this could be pretty dark 🙂

The thing about it is, if you are against innocent people who are here legally being disappeared without due process or recourse to a torture prison in El Salvador, people on the right will say that you hate America and love crime and gangs. Why are you people like this?

This reminds me that when I was a little girl, I got a pet chick as a gift for Easter one year. We made a pen for it out of chicken wire in the backyard. It eventually got loose from the pen and ran away, don’t know what happened to it. It was an even shittier pet than Archer’s lemur.

Baby chicks were never an appropriate Easter gift for children, but especially not now with the spread of Bird Flu. 🐣 Get a toy chick and sponsor a rescue bird instead! www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-birds

Even 🍊’s supporters should be angry about this, right? They’re always saying immigrants have to come legally, they have to do it “the right way.” 🍊 is deporting LEGAL immigrants who are doing it “the right way”! Y’know… unless their dislike for immigrants was never really about that.

Politico@politico.com

The expanding list of targets within Trump's immigration agenda — especially immigrants married to U.S. citizens — pose a political test for the president.

Sometimes I’m glad I know other languages. You won’t find this kind of clarity in US media. “🍊 abruptly freezes military aid to bend Volodymyr Zelensky to his will.” And no, you cannot get me to type that person’s name.

Jesus Christ. America is doing this on your behalf and mine. It’s absolutely, objectively wrong.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

I hope someone sees this post, because I need to talk. What the HECK is going on on LinkedIn right now?!?! I go in and look at some of the posts… some with completely unhinged political ranting and personal insults. Do these people have jobs or hoping to get jobs? Like…. HOW?
