The more absurd the comparison, the greener the activity?

Oh, and a thing happened this morning... showering, doorbell goes, grab towel, runs to door.
DPD man is staring, I take the parcel and wonder why the stares today when he's seen me so many times in the past.
I go back in and to the bathroom, catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I realise I've wrapped the towel waist down like a man would, yet I now have boobage and should be wrapping chest down like a woman would.
DPD man got an eyefull of boobs this morning, oops.
@sophie oh gosh it should've been... but nope, I meant him.
but now, sure... all flirty from this point onwards.
And costumes. Lewd costumes. Over the top ones. I believe in you.
And if you want to post pics for totally not horny reasons, oh um… well… 🥺👉👈

I finally got a lock and actually used my bike, for the first time since the move. Biking here immediately seems so much nicer than what I am used to.
Like, cars seem to see me here. So weird.
That sounds amazing! Your new area keeps getting better and better, eh?
I'm hoping this may be the same case where I'm moving. It may be a pipe dream, but I'd like to partake in the many bike paths and lanes.

Trump droht EU mit 200-Prozent-Zöllen auf Wein und Champagner

Please send this to your Senators regarding the budget bill. (Background: The House passed a stop-gap bill Tuesday to fund the government through September and the Senate must vote on it. The House has gone into recess to force the Senate to accept the bill with no changes. )
Dear Senator --
For months Republicans have talked about how they were going to fund their legislative priorities, but here we are again, facing another Continuing Resolution.
In your negotiations in the Senate, constantly remind everyone that the Constitution Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 gives the power of the purse to Congress, not the President. The President has no legitimate authority under the Constitution for meddling in the appropriations process.
The Continuing Resolution must include language reminding the Executive Branch that it has no budgetary power over Congress. Make Republicans vote on their support for the Constitutional separation of powers.
Stand firm in your efforts.

I want a electric car. More so, I want one that can self-drive.
But I was never going to buy a Tesla, even before Elon Musk showed his true Nazi-loving colors. - Why?
I want to own my car - all of it. Every feature, every function, mine to do with what I wish. And certainly no lifetime subscription fees.
"In his own twisted way, Donald Trump has become a unifying figure. He’s more politically divisive than ever, but his outright attacks on liberal democracy everywhere have managed to rally America’s traditional allies against a common threat — one he sees when he looks in the mirror."

""In 2025 the Republicans in charge of the United States of America are not the conservatives they call themselves; they are the dangerous ideological radicals [Edmund] Burke feared.

@alan @spinach
Alan, you get a follow for low-key hating on America (as an American, I'm hating on us too) and for apologizing, and being kind/Canadian in both efforts. Cheers.
We could have elected our first female president. We could have had nice things. Instead we apparently wanted Putin's Agent Orange in charge again.
Gods help us.

@dicenbuttons I don't think many people thought it through to the Russian asset point. I think it was mostly sexism, then racism (both toward Harris and the whole "immigrant" thing), and then gullibility to propaganda and misinformation.
I'm fine with Americans as people. Hell I'm even related to some of them. But if anyone supports the idea that the US should annex us, they can expect big trouble in response.
