Cats Prefer to Sleep on Their Left Side

For animals, sleeping on their left side is not about comfort. It is a survival strategy.

Bahnstrecke Kiel-Hamburg: Weiche muss repariert werden - RE7 und RE70 beeinträchtigt

Wer mit dem Zug zur Kieler Woche anreist, muss am Samstag ohnehin mit vollen Zügen rechnen. Eine defekte Weiche bei Neumünster führt aktuell zusätzlich zu Verzögerungen auf den Linien RE7 und RE70, die zwischen Kiel und Hamburg verkehren.

@Professor_Stevens Ist halt nicht Bayern

This is somewhat heartwarming. A young brown bear wandered into Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania (where my mother's family is from). The government issued a permit for it to be shot. But the Lithuanian community of hunters, knowing there are only a few (less than a dozen) brown bears in the country refused to do it. Eventually, she just wandered away.

Gerai iškeptas, Lithuanian hunters.

Lithuanian hunters refuse government request to shoot a wild bear in the capital

Lithuanian hunters have refused to shoot a wild bear that was spotted roaming around the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius and criticized the government for issuing a permit to kill a member of the protected species. The Lithuanian Association of Hunters and Fishermen says in a statement it is shocked by the decision of the Environment Ministry to shoot the bear. The bear now seems to be out of danger as it was spotted on Wednesday walking through forested areas well outside the city. A government official has defended the authorities' stance and says the kill permit was issued purely as a precaution in case the bear posed a threat.

If you’re interested in how powerful forces of marketing & manipulation make the positive change we badly need MUCH harder, read @grantennis’ great book “Dark PR.”

Nice to spend a Paris day (he lives here) walking in Grant’s Canal neighbourhood & talking about how change REALLY happens.

Es gibt zwei Sorten WLAN-Kabel: Twisted Air und Gasfaser

PARIS TRANSFORMED: Like cutting-edge new neighbourhoods that are dense, mixed-use (an urban IKEA, grocery store, shops, services, schools, jobs etc), multimodal, socially & economically diverse (50% social housing, 20% middle income rental apartments, 30% market ownership apartments), green/susfainable, & really livable?

There’s no better person to tour & discuss the many new REMARKABLE urban transformations around Metro stations in PARIS than the brilliant Carlos Moreno!

Thank you my friend.

@JenMsft

fleur-de-lis ... is French for banana peel.
@HoustonDog you made me look that up just to make sure I wasn't going crazy lol
@JenMsft

@JenMsft

and this fleur-de-lis weathervane finial... celebrates when William Tell shot an unpeeled banana off the head of his son.

* Finial, from Latin for "top banana"
@HoustonDog @JenMsft William Tell was Swiss 😅

@HoustonDog @JenMsft

How about Guillaume Tell? Sounds French enough to me.

William Tell - Wikipedia

@Emmaf_77 @mrgl @JenMsft

did William Tell write that spaghetti western song used for the Lone Ranger radio show?
@Emmaf_77 @HoustonDog @JenMsft I'm Swiss, I know the play by Schiller, some believe actually happened. Was just joking.

@koantig @JenMsft yes, it's on Oark Drive in the west end of Glasgow. It was done by a Glasgow street artist called A Sign of Humour, and that looks like the photo they posted on their instagram account. 👍🙂
@thisismyglasgow @koantig thank you! I did a reverse image search but didn't find any results. Glad to know the artist 💙

@JenMsft @koantig I've featured a few of their pieces in the last few weeks. You can find one here: https://mastodon.scot/@thisismyglasgow/114708963383324738

@JenMsft If one were to climb this fence, would that be considered banana-for-scaling?
@JenMsft Ha! It took me a second, but that's hilarious.
