Eilmeldung ⚠️ Akuter Fall von Männerschnupfen ☠️☢️ könnte aber auch die afrikanische Schweinepest sein ⚠️
Morgen mal bei diesem Dr. Robert Koch anrufen, der soll ja ganz gut sein bei aussichtslosen Fällen.

#Mastoprompt for Saturday 6/7/2025:
I never imagined I'd live to see America gasping in its #moribund twilight. We are a nation flickering like the last embers of a dying fire; our vibrant dreams now dimmed in a crumbling empire. Amid the chaos and quiet lament of fallen ideals, I watch as a storied era draws its final breath, each moment heavy with the sorrow of inevitable decline.

#Prompt: #Moribund
From my 17yo poet-son - https://www.poetry.com/poet/Dylan+Miller+-+Writer - (give him a like or two on his poetry page!):
Moricumber
Can't get moribund's
Meaning in my head.
So it's cumberbunds
I'll speak about instead...
Tie around your waist
A *moribund* with haste
I spent my fashion fund
On a lovely new *moribund*.

Carbon discharges
Positive feedback kicks in
A moribund earth
they had a slush fund
increasing the moribund
states, the newly stunned

#WordyWednesday: Moribund
A very dramatic way of saying "on the verge of death."
Synonyms include: terminal, doomed, fated, mortally ill, perishing, declining, expiring, on one's deathbed, on one's last leg, and one foot in the grave.
Not to be confused with the Monty Python parrot sketch (that bird was completely deceased).
