A Gary Larson #cartoon especially for #Caturday

#Caturday!

To quote the photographer: "Relieved to see that the new Berlin airport has picked up the proud German tradition of really bad hair salon puns."

Seriously, this one is hair-raising bad:

They did resp. decided WHAT?

"With a credit of 200 euros, the [German] federal government wants to encourage young people to experience culture locally" (📻 news)

What it feels like to watch US elections from the outside these days:

The midterm election, or the success or failure for their respective opponents, hinges on two remarkable pillars: Is the momentum of those appalled by the de facto elimination of Roe v. Wade greater than that of the red-cap wearers by the supposedly "stolen" election? And: do the latter's fairy tales about the "global elites," which would be in the process of taking over America with their "socialist" climate policies, catch on? In addition, there is an almost proverbial "charity begins at home" attitude, which sometimes lacks even the slightest beginnings of foresight.

The manual for people like me:

“Scientific Method”

Time for “virtue signaling…”

Beauty of autumn 🍂
