So Brazil hasn't sunk to US levels yet. Good.

Yet. Early days still.

An agreement to end the Ethiopian Civil War seems to have been reached.

I just got letter from the city where they called me "Führer". 

Sadly that is the official German term for the driver of a car when you commit a traffic misdemeanor.

I love that you have a word just for this eventuality.

What do you call the man who has bolognaise spilled on his white shirt in an Italian restaurant mishap?

It is nice that somebody believed in him.

[The Minsky Moment]

What a catch!

Sadly those fancy new media "news papers" were just vectors for deception and conspiracy theories.

IRL "he" was a 40 year old lesbian mule driver.  And her buckwheat was decidedly second rate.

I haven't used facebook since I got a new phone in April and years ago I filtered out of my main inbox any notifications from them. I randomly took a look today and saw that everyday since I last logged in - facebook has sent me between 2-4 emails telling repeating how many messages, status updates, new posts have been made since I was last logged in.

That's pretty insane / I guess how they aim to keep themselves top of mind.

Feels kind of yucky to be pulled in, but I don't know if I have the time and inclination to research, install, and socialize alternatives
