I bought this Steelcase chair for #WFH. Every #Caturday she hops in the chair when Iโ€™m not using it. If I move her, she just gets in my lap. She doesn't want me -- she wants the chair.

I found a smart outlet that's actually pretty smartโ€”mostly because it 'just works' (unlike so many other supposedly-smart things). Quick video on how I monitor power consumption and remote control many devices: youtube.com/watch?v=URdTVrkz5jโ€ฆ

14 June 1921 | A Pole, Stanisล‚aw Traล‚ka, was born in Wฤ…brzeลบno.

He was deported to #Auschwitz on his 19th birthday in the first transport of Poles to the camp on 14 June 1940.
No. 660
He perished in the camp on 2 October 1942.

in reply to Auschwitz Memorial

I was curious as to how someone so young was in the first wave of prisoners. I found a site which indicated he was a student at an art school when he was arrested, but the site is broken and the page won't open. Auschwitz.org states he was used as a photographer prior to his murder, meaning he certainly took some of the photos we see posted every day by this account.

If anyone can find more on Stanisล‚aw Traล‚ka, please share... I'd like to read it.

very nice! "Go off the official miku figures" she suggests, regarding colour

@wokstation That was the plan for one of them. I was thinking the other in the style of Brazilian Miku and one in another alternate style I found in a Miku figurine. ๐Ÿ˜





My kids love their trampoline, but they only spend 50% of the time bouncing up, wasting the other 50% falling down.

That's why I'm not spending another penny on trampoline maintenance until they can improve efficiency and reduce wasted falling time to at most 25%.

This toot is about austerity.

#Trump Shifts #Deportation Focus, Pausing Most Raids on #Farms, #Hotels & #Restaurants

The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Trumpโ€™s presidency suggested his broad #immigration crackdown was hurting industries & constituencies he does not want to lose. [proving his agenda is, as always, driven by #SelfInterest not #NationalSecurity, & certainly not #PublicService]

This is most likely a lie. Heโ€™s hoping to fool immigrants into feeling safe, so they can round them up more easily.

This needs attention

โ€ชVia Greg Sargent:โ€ฌ

Now that #Trump has suspended deportation raids in the agriculture and hospitality industries, it's even worse that Dems failed to put their stamp on the right side of this debate. This dereliction could now let Trump get away with recasting his climbdown as sensible recalibration on his part. Awful.
