greatest mural ever?
it's in the running
mural of a black and white tuxedo cat taking up the whole end wall of an apartment building At 34‑35 Rugiańska Street in Szczecin, a new mural has been created honouring the legendary cat Gacek – a black and white icon of the city. The artwork was created using photocatalytic paints which, under sunlight, help purify the air. For years Gacek lived near Kaszubska Street, where a dedicated wooden shelter stood and where he became a beloved figure among residents, tourists and the media alike. In 2023, due to health concerns, he was brought into care and found a home. The Gacek mural is a one-of-a-kind initiative in Poland – no other city has created a piece of street art that both honours a local animal celebrity and actively contributes to environmental protection. Once again, Szczecin proves it can surprise with ideas that are both meaningful and practical. same mural seen from a distance, the mural is at the top of a flight of stairs leading up a grassy hill and it looks like a gigantic cat is sitting there looking at you At 34‑35 Rugiańska Street in Szczecin, a new mural has been created honouring the legendary cat Gacek – a black and white icon of the city.

Two children at school in uniforms and it looks like Japan, both of them look like girls or femmes. One is holding a giant tuba so that it's stuffed over the face of the other one that's pinned up against the wall. The one holding the tuba is labeled every company. The tuba is labeled unwanted AI And the one against the wall is labeled me

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter
A Twitter thread. Amazon Help replies to a (not visible) tweet saying "Autumn Nations Cup coverage is available to Prime Video customers based in UK only. Prime Video doesn't support streaming content through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy connections. Are you using either of these?" Chris Jones says "No." Amazon Help says "Thank you for that information. We apologize but upon reviewing your location you're in Northern Ireland. Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is exclusively available to Prime members based in the UK. We don't have the rights to other territories." The thread continues. Chris Jones says "Northern Ireland is part of the UK." Amazon Help says "Many apologies, but we don't have the broadcast rights for Ireland or other territories." Another twitter user says "Northern Ireland *IS* the UK, "UK" is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (This tweet does not reflect my opinions on the matter of a united island of Ireland)" Amazon Help replies "Thank you for reaching out to us. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate team." Amazon Help replies to a different tweet, and leads with "Hi there! We apologize for the troubles."
