  • Melania Trump's 'absolute stinker' of a documentary buried by reviewers

    Jump

  • There are so many joke reviews and so few people seeing it I did wonder if there was anything interesting about it whatsoever

    "A good two-thirds of that 108 minutes is spent watching Melania Trump leave buildings and get in a car, then get driven around in the car, then get out of the car and onto a plane, then get flown around on the plane, then sometimes get off the plane and into a different car. This is the very first thing you see in the film, and it’s repeated a good six or seven times."

    Think the early joke reviews were right on this one.

  • ‘Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?’: Mother of Liam Conejo Ramos shares her story from hiding

  • Since their detainment, she said she had to go to a hospital emergency room because of bleeding.

    I wonder what healthcare she would've gotten in detention if they kidnapped her and she started bleeding there. I wonder how many miscarriages they've caused, and if ICE agents have a big laugh about it every time it happens.

  • Does anyone else's cat play fetch?

    Jump

  • I have had a couple cats who do this! It's adorable. It does mean I've woken up with cat toys in my bed, though.

  • Resources for small community resistance?

    Jump

  • https://commonslibrary.org/ I think a first step might be searching here for "toolkit" or specific topics. I remember seeing a lot of useful zines and posters and guides around the internet, and if you're interested I can try to track them down, but this site might have what you need.

    This can also be a useful resource: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index

  • Philadelphia sues over removal of slavery exhibit at Independence National Historical Park

    Jump

  • If a fact about the past is demeaning to a historical hero, they deserve to be demeaned.

  • Trump’s Davos trip delayed due to Air Force One electrical issue

    Jump

  • people who track government planes on blusky had a beautiful period of time after the plane turned around but before the announcement it was an electrical problem

  • Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?

    Jump

  • I have an earliest memory that I wonder if it's just my memory of me recounting it at this point. And another memory of being attacked by a dog that I believe was a dream that got mixed up with reality because the neighbor's dog scared me. 'Memories of memories' seems accurate the further back I try to remember.

  • How do I search on Pixelfed

    Jump

  • I think you need an account. I look at tags, sometimes, because I like finding new artists to follow, but I'm not sure that's expected useage.

  • Guys I can't find Noodle. Has anyone seen her?

    Jump

  • I like when they're mostly under something but their tail's flicking around so you know they're having a silly time.

  • The North Atlantic right whale was recorded near Slieve League in 2024 – the first confirmed recording of the species in Irish waters.

  • France enacts ban on ‘forever chemicals’ - with one big exception

    Jump

  • There are notable exceptions to the ban, however, for high-performance membranes used in filtration or separation processes, and textiles deemed “necessary for essential use” or national sovereignty.

    and

    The first draft law also included a ban on non-stick saucepans, but this has been removed following reports of “intense lobbying” from French manufacturer Tefal.

  • Iconic cupcake chain closing all company-owned bakeries

    Jump

  • 2012 sounds right for that, actually. There definitely was one, but I couldn't have guessed the year. There was just a time when I made a bunch of cupcakes because I kept seeing fun recipes online.

  • Is there a self-help way to deal with fear of germs/"contamination"?

    Jump

  • You can probably start with careful exposure therapy. I'm not sure how to do that with germ phobia. I dealt with a fear of spiders by reading about them and looking at pictures until I stopped feeling disgust/anxiety. I then just kind of noted and moved on when I saw one in real life. These days I see a spider and can even move it if it's in a bad spot without feeling anxious.

    Not knowing your triggers, I can't say if that path would help or make it worse.

    https://fherehab.com/learning/germophobia-treatment This could be useful for learning terms so you can look up and find reviews for self help books.

    For my social anxiety, I started out getting books from the library about that specific phobia. It took a lot of time to get from there to telling my doctor I was anxious all the time, to medication, and then therapy. I doubt I'll ever be free of it, but I can do a lot of things now I once couldn't (small talk with customers? wow!)

    It kind of has to be guided by you and the specifics of your phobia, unfortunately. Like, would looking at a picture of a dirty surface for five minutes a day make you anxious? Just a little, or a lot? If a little, try it. If a lot, scale it back further. Hopefully someone with a similar phobia comes around with more relevant advice. Good luck?

  • I get it but I also like that it's there as a reminder how up there he is. But I've assumed for a while I'll find out about his death because I'll reload tumblr and be confronted with a wall of crab rave gifs.

  • every cycle of charge and discharge causes batteries to expand and contract, similar to human breathing. This action causes battery components to warp just a tiny amount, putting strain on the battery and weakening it over time.

    I like when scientists have fun with describing things.

    When my door sticks on humid days I should say it's because my doorframe is breathing.
