In my quest to find some good compound German words, came across what might be my favourite:
Faultier = Sloth
Faul = Lazy
Tier = Animal
Brilliant.

Ok, still looking for words here…
Have found Zaunkönig, Seehund and Maulwurf which all work brilliantly, if that inspires any of you German speaking language experts.

Hey German friends - what are a few more German words that turn out completely different once you split them up. Like:
Hochzeit = Wedding.
Hoch Zeit = High Time.
Glühbirne = Light bulb
Glüh Birne = Glow Pear
(and yes, already got the one we all know, Handschuhe)

Conservatives comparing things to Weimar Germany seem to regard Nazism as a reasonable reaction to heavy eye makeup.

The word DON, meaning to put on an item of clothing, comes from a contraction of the phrase ‘to do on’. It emerged in the 1500s as the opposite of the earlier verb DOFF—which in turn comes from a contraction of ‘to do off’.

Instagram's reach is killing me so here's my latest giant aerial embroidery since they won't show it to anyone! This landscape is called 'It will grow back, eventually (and it always will)' - can you see the little bridges? 💙 Please share and help my small business out! 💚

Sometimes focusing on drawing things perfectly stops me from draw anything. Today will not be one of those days. Enjoy this unpolished mess.

My self mantra: If ya gonna smoke a cigarette, smoke it like Tallulah would have.
Quote Tweet
Tallulah Bankhead (1902–68) claimed to have had over 5,000 lovers. At a society wedding, while the bride and groom were walking down the aisle, Tallulah remarked loudly: ‘I’ve had both of them, dahling, and neither of them is any good.’

Anyone else watching Bobby Fingers on YouTube? One of the best channels I’ve seen in a long time.
He creates these insanely good dioramas of bizarre moments in pop culture. Then buries them to be found by viewers.
Funny, fascinating, relaxing. 10/10.

So here’s a Guy-in-his-late-30’s thing I just realised. Been a few years now since my barber busted out these guys and I gotta strong feeling they’re not coming back…

It still cracks me up that he somehow took this place from “People want the useful blue ticks” to “Absolutely nobody wants the embarrassment of having a blue tick” in like, less than half a year.

How good is this?! Someone made a little mini living fence around the street side garden bed and it’s growing leaves and everything. Love this.

The great thing about being a lowly 500 Elo level in Chess is that you basically win games by abandonment as soon as you take their Queen. I don’t even bother looking for checkmate at this point.

Like, you really have to go see the pigeon shit infested thing for yourself because it’s mysteriously impossible to truly capture its Po-Mo glory in photographs alone.

The best engagement stories are the ones where both of them were planning on proposing to the other at the same time, and weirdly it’s always the most disorganised one that somehow always wins that little competition neither of them realised they were in.

So, the new feature on the site we’re not allowed to mention is quite good and you should come and find me there if you haven’t already!

Should have never named my beer gut. Now that it’s getting warmer and I’m moving around a bit more I’m really starting to miss Burt.

Okay, so I didn't get any *actual* work done today, but I did start a cult which already has over 500 members, so if that's not being productive, I don't know what is. twitter.com/TheLargestCult…

His name is Peter Arnell and yes he is completely bonkers. He once got Frank Gehry hooked on eating a diet that consisted of nothing but fresh peeled oranges.

I rode on them for 10 minutes today and that was enough to both almost kill me and also convince me to put on some warm clothes and get outside for a normal ride. Very effective in that regard.
