29 December 1923 | Hungarian Jewish woman Lily Ebert was born in Bonyhád.

In July 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz. She was then transferred to an ammunition factory near Leipzig where she was liberated.

Today she turns 99.

“I never thought I would survive Auschwitz and have another birthday. At 99, I celebrate to show that the Nazis did not win!”

The good news, you have gained the superpower of flight.

The bad news, it gives you diarrhea like everything else.

I genuinely don't remember making you all this stupid.

The following companies still openly do business inside sanctioned Russia:

Hitler said he wanted peace as Germany invaded Rhineland, Austria, Sudetenland, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and France

Russia says they want peace as long as they take the annexed regions in Ukraine

Yesterday, an open training took place in the section of Greco-Roman wrestling, which Seva attends.

Medusa was asked not to return to Sea World

Embarrassing confession: I once lied on my resume and claimed I was "George Santos"

On Twitter, I felt invisible and felt like I was pissing into the winds with my posts. Mastodon is the news reader I've been trying to create for years, with the added bonus of having more human interactions than Twitter. I'm so tired of performative posting to create engagement. I also don't miss the ads.

When someone is a dick to you, just remember they are probably hurting inside.

You can use that to destroy them.

Designate Russia a terrorist state.

Tonight I decided to add candy eyes to our chocolate-dipped strawberries, only to learn that when it comes to desserts there is a very, very fine line between “whimsical” and “cursed”

Medvedev on 12/26 called for the collapse of the IMF & World Bank, the Euro & US$ to stop circulating as the global reserve currencies & for digital fiat currencies to be used instead. Musk called it epic. It's Putin's dream🚨: Destruction of the Fed Reserve system & all central banks to drive a financial crash to hurt the West, so Russia can fund the war & continue to exploit the world. Please read @davetroy's Twitter thread for an explanation of Putin's diabolical goals: https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1608097948788789249?s=20&t=nvacXzkl2vT1z8LHND0P-w

I know exactly who needs to hear this, so:

Hating LGBTQ+ people isnt bold or edgy or alt-anything. It’s one of the oldest hatreds out there, & almost every evil regime sharpens its claws on us

Precisely *because* we truly harm no one but make some deeply uncomfortable. Thus: an easy target enough will overlook, justify, or downplay.
