So here's a question - how many of you have looked inside the inner workings of your tumble dryer? Was there a thick layer of dust?
Are we expected to take the sides off our appliances to clean them? If yes, how often?
PS - if your tumble dryer is the same make as your phone, maybe check it out!

Können wir aufhören, Artikel über Rechtsextremismus mit Springerstiefeln zu bebildern? Das ist keine akkurate Beschreibung der Realität mehr. Näher an der Wahrheit wären die Schuhe von Höcke oder Weidel.

Not because I had a small part to play but because now more than ever we need to amplify kindness and human connection, let me share with you the Tale of Kathleen & John
After I had given directions to Kathleen (as I was to learn was her name) she headed off with her trusty walking frame, Esmeralda

A woman steps into the shop: Where do I vote?
Me: Are you looking for Carysfort National School?
Her: Yes, I feel it's my duty, I turned 97 yesterday!

It's the same everywhere - we turn on the TV and open Newspapers to see and read the words of all the people, who tell us that they aren't allowed to say anything and aren't given a platform!
Sound familiar to anyone?

Ich mache das Fernsehen an und schlage die Zeitung auf, um die ganzen Leute zu lesen, die mir erzählen, dass sie nichts sagen dürften und keine Plattform bekämen.

Die AfD Hessen (und die FDP) möchten das Portal "Hessen gegen Hetze" abschalten, das als Reaktion auf die Ermordung Walter Lübckes durch einen AfD-Wahlkampfhelfer eingerichtet wurde. Der Grund: Weil manche Meldungen eben auch zu Ermittlungen führen können. Kannst du dir nicht ausdenken.

Hearing Irish politicians saying that they need to get tough on immigration is just so preposterous!
Imagine if every country "got tough on immigration" - the Irish Diaspora worldwide (myself included) being made return to Ireland, and find homes and jobs! Or if we had never been allowed to leave?

This makes me sick to my stomach. I hope when they catch them, they lock them up and throw away the key!
This cunt should be in prison and the fact he isn't is part of the reason why we're seeing shit like this still being organised and carried out then openly celebrated on social media.

Fantastic news this.
There is, however, a "but."
Andrew should have been stripped of his titles, his privilege and his place in the pecking order years ago.
This is the Firm desperately and ruthlessly distancing itself from its most obviously toxic member... because it has to in order to survive.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

ZDF manipuliert Umfrage: Mehrheit widerspricht Merz
Eine Umfrage zeigt, dass die Mehrheit der Menschen kein Problem mit Geflüchteten hat und sich sicher fühlt. Das ZDF berichtet das Gegenteil.
