As someone who inexplicably does not follow Princess Eugenie's Instagram I'm glad I can count on the BBC to report the latest excitement there.

Mystery tree beast turns out to be a croissant.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56757956

Quote:
When animal welfare officers received a report of an unusual animal lurking in a tree in the Polish city of Krakow, they were not sure what to expect.

"People aren't opening their windows because they're afraid it will go into their house," the woman reportedly said.

But a visit to the area showed the creature in question was not a bird, or even a reptile - but a croissant.

Who would have guessed that a climate sceptic thinktank might possibly have received funding from fossil fuel interests?

Remembering names at a party is never easy, except at a gathering in Tokyo on Saturday where all 178 guests were called Hirokazu Tanaka -- breaking a record previously held by 164 Martha Stewarts.

The story behind the giant reindeer in San Jose’s Willow Glen neighborhood – NBC Bay Area

This is our neighborhood. :awesome:

You see, 20 years ago, one guy had the idea, and he asked his neighbors if they were up for it, and they were like, sure, why not. Exactly how anyone would assume it happened. Riveting! :popcorn:

@EndWokeness reminds me of the pastor that goes every year to Folsom Street kink fair with his camera to 'document the sins.' At this point I can only presume they are in fact turned on by cross dressing and are using the excuse to collect tons and tons of gay and trans imagery. Unfortunately we're probably also going to find out why they're so obsessed with pedophiles...

I mean if it’s that old twitter I joined after Elon Musk bought it out of curiosity. And it was kinda fun, I met some funny people, but I got so fed up with the constant catfish attempts and other than report them or as I tried one time, totally fucking with them back, I just gave up. I had signed up for it years before but never used it. I’m not savvy enough to know how to get rid of those cat fishers.
