Many ghosts in turmoil can only move on with the aid of the living.
...sometimes, the required assistance is rather easy to fulfill.

In death, an avian companion to the Wild Huntsman!

Everything you’re fine with Israel, the United States, Germany, and the UK doing to Gaza and Palestinians today is what they’re going to be doing to you tomorrow.
(In case that makes you care if nothing else does.)

The "emergency hook" is a powerful tool for magical transportation - but nothing comes without a price.

Sie wollen Qualitätsjournalismus hochhalten und einen Gegenpol auf der Plattform X bieten. Doch Tagesschau, ZDFheute, Spiegel und Zeit erreichen weder viele Views noch positive Interaktionen mit dem Publikum. Was ihnen vor allem entgegenschlägt, ist Hass. Warum bleiben sie trotzdem da?

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?
Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

@sundogplanets I think the US government is trying to "flood the zone" to practically prevent other nations from launching their systems. the sooner they do it, the harder it is for anybody else to escape US satellite services (civil & military). an example of these attempts, The FT last week revealed the company [ #Rheinmetall from #Germany] was also in talks over a joint bid to build an equivalent to #ElonMusk #Starlink internet service for the German military. https://archive.is/MwjXQ#selection-1577.20-1577.33

Pales in comparison to how spectacularly #Walmart failed in #Germany.
The U.S.A. management managed to fall afoul of regulations that were meant to prevent the Stasi from happening again.
They instituted policies of forced smiling at customers, group cheer sessions, and employees required to report any employees who dated other employees.
Reporting on people's personal lives to the authorities is a bit of a no-no in modern Germany.

@cstross @stevendbrewer Walmart took over Woolco here a few decades ago and are still going strong, and have moved into groceries as well. They’re still here, with an awful shopping experience. I generally avoid.
Then there was the Hudson’s Bay Company, founded in 1670, which went out of business last year after a run with by American owners who were more interested in real estate games. Killing the oldest company on the continent is an achievement of some kind, I guess.
