Read about "#efficiency #reserves" today:

That's definitely my #euphemism of the day.
Imagine someone saying:
"It's a good thing that in our company we have some strategic efficiency reserves that we can tap into to boost productivity in times of need."
It's so nonsensical, I love it.

On a side note: German minister for energy Katherina #Reiche is an absolute disgrace. Every day she's in office is (in the best case) a missed chance to drive #renewableenergy and #sustainability . Most days she seems to be more busy undermining the transition to #greenenergy (thus shoving money to her previous employers) than doing anything more sensible (like playing #minesweeper ).

The German Version of keeping people in fear is called "Neue Grundsicherung".

It is based on #bureaucracy & #euphemism

They're calling it "social security", but in reality the human beings will be terrified by this law & make them lost their #grace, #dignity & #home.

In #Germany 2026 we also lost our #Democracy❗

There is no longer Safeness for all people in Germany if this law will become reality ❗

@ginaintheburg @thejfreakinc It is my opinion that it is not illegal arrest but abduction.

And it is my opinion that you are whitewashing, bagatelizing and euphemizing their behaviour by calling it "illegally arresting" and "detained" instead of "abducting", and helping the perpetrators, siding with them and standing on their side and betraying the victim by doing so.

Would you say that a rapist abductor murderer "illegally arrested" and "detained" a woman or would you say that he "abducted" her?

I analyse language policing demanded in a video that crossed my feed.🧐

This woman calls out corporate media for soft-pedalling charges against alleged culprits and victims, or as she insists, rapists and children. Her request is not neutral.

@UberZeitgeist

I can see that.

Not sure I'm meant to see that but I can anyway.

It's a bit more subtle than, "Baby can I park my red hot rocket in your love garage" a la Surrey Hills 1985 but still blatant.

What a #euphemism: “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment."

Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"

"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

Everybody from now on should start using "kinetic anomaly" for pretty much every unexpected event.

"You're late.
Sorry, the bus experienced a kinetic anomaly."

"And then, suddenly, 66 million years ago, all the dinosaurs experienced a kinetic anomaly."

"Don’t give a f#@&" – give an...e.l.f.? A new ad slogan plays on a popular sweary idiom. @Fritinancy takes a look: https://stronglang.wordpress.com/2025/11/21/dont-give-a-f/
