Methods of defending your local library from government cuts. 1. Comminity Support: families stand round the licrary with placards 2. Fortifications: The library now has crenellations, a high wall and guards with spears. 3. Camouflage: the library has been painted with a camouflage pattern. 4. Black magic: the library has been painted with a huge pentagram , a sorceror casts a spell from an altar. 5. Time Travel: weird machinery is attached to the library, it is in a prehistoric jungle, a dinosaur walks past. 6. Disguise: the library has been dressed to look like a vape shop 7. Attack!: the library has tank tracks and large mechanical arms, it speeds forth, a librarian urges it on from a hatch at the top. A cartoon by Tom Gauld

Please rate your particle collider experience

Moin 👋😀

myjetpack.tumblr.com/post/7412926...
Three red spherical particles exit a small doorway. One is bandaged and two are cracked, they all look cross. The first is standing by a sign that reads “rate your particle collider experience”. Below the sign are three buttons with faces: green/happy yellow/neutral and, the one the particle is about to press, red/unhappy.

Kafka’s bugaboo

Moin 👋😃

wronghands1.com/2024/01/26/k...
Kafka's bugaboo As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from a bad dream, he found himself transformed into a gigantic insect. Disoriented, he wondered if maybe he had always been an insect and that his humanity was in fact a dream. But that didn't explain the manscaping kit in his bathroom.

Natürlich kann man nicht alles auf regenerative Energien umstellen, ohne das komplett durchdacht zu haben. Das wäre ja wie AKWs bauen, ohne zu wissen, was man mit dem Müll macht.
