Hey Fediverse, I am curious:
In Germany hairdressers give their shops ridiculous names based around puns with the word "hair" (or similar), like "House of O'Haira", "Haar Moni" or "Salon Haarley".

Is this a thing in your country, too?

Please boost :boost: , as I'd like to hear from many countries. =)

Some examples off the top of my head from this Swedish town:
  • Hårizont (hairizon)
  • Klipporama (cut and frame, but also klipp is a good deal, so it could be a deal-o-rama)
  • Herr klipper man (really goofy, I guess it's supposed to sound like "här klipper man", here they cut, but also basically Man cuts man)

When even the Harvard Business Review is saying that the shooting of a CEO might be a moment for corporations to change their behaviour, you know something is going on.

The UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting Should Be a Turning Point for Corporate America

Leaders must take a step back and recognize some of the key failures that have led to the public’s growing discontent with big business.

https://astrodon.social/@esoastronomy/113669009506943775 esoastronomy@astrodon.social - After all, black holes are not as destructive as we thought! 😮

Using our Very Large Telescope, astronomers have discovered, for the first time ever, a binary star close to our galaxy's supermassive black hole. Binary stars are extremely common throughout the galaxy but not close to the black hole, which makes this new system really interesting!

Named D9, it looks like a single dot, but its speed wobbles periodically back and forth, revealing that this is in fact two stars orbiting each other as they move together around the black hole.

First ever binary star found near our galaxy’s supermassive black hole

An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.

Don't Laugh At Me -- Allen Shamblin and Steve Seskin


I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Tryin' to overcome my past
You don't have to be my friend
But is it too much to ask

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm the cripple on the corner
You've passed me on the street
And I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
And don't think I don't notice
That our eyes don't meet

I lost my wife and little boy when
Someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid them in the ground
Is the day I lost my mind
And right now I'm down to holdin'
This little cardboard sign, so

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

There was never any question as to whether Trump would implement Project 2025, the 900-page brick of terrifying and unhinged policy prescriptions edited by the Heritage Foundation. He would *not* implement it, because he *could* not implement it. No one could. It's impossible.

A WWII-era infirmary with two ranks of beds. Behind a bed on each side stands an outraged Tweedledee/Tweedledum figure from Tenniel's Alice Through the Looking Glass engravings, pulling their hair; they face one another. One is tinted green; the other, blue. Between them in the aisle stands an elephant in GOP livery, wearing a Trump wig. A spatter of blood climbs the wall on the right.

Many of us will have some time off over the next few weeks. Some of us have more than others 🙃
Be sure to reflect on what it all means. It’s cold and crappy in the northern hemisphere and Australia is on fire. It’s a time of retailers marking things up to put them on sale. It’s a time for passive aggressive political discussions with relatives. It’s a time to read about the famous people you never met who died over the past year.

But above all else, it’s a time to push that code to production. Push like you’ve never pushed before.
