Reporter: How do you define ceasefire?

Trump: In that part of the world, ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner

@BellaWallerstei Oh yes, that explains the Ukraine flag

@EmilySm43 No, I lecture her on the evils of the seed oils and complete garbage that's in the baby formula and report her to child services

@sweetnjmom The pompous narcissists are the ones bloviating nonsense with their low-info "opinions" on Trump's day-to-day activities. Focus on his track record. The right people hate him.

I hope Vesuvius got the girl

[Ancient History Hub @AncientHistorry]

Around 1,950 years ago in Pompeii, a weaver named Successus fell in love with a barmaid named Iris.

She did not love him back.

We know this because his rival, a man named Severus, decided to humiliate him publicly. He grabbed something sharp and carved this into a wall for the whole city to read:

"Successus the weaver loves the innkeeper's slave girl named Iris. She does not care about him at all. But he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye."

Imagine walking to work and seeing that with your name on it.

Successus found it. And instead of letting it go, he carved his reply directly underneath:

"Envious one, why do you get in the way? Yield to a man who is better looking and being treated very unfairly."

Severus came back one more time to end it:

"I have spoken. I have written. You love Iris, but she does not love you."

Then, in 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted and buried the wall, the tavern, and the entire argument under 20 feet of ash. The thread was frozen mid-beef for almost two millennia until archaeologists dug it up and translated it.

We will never know who got the girl. We do not even know if any of the three survived.

Pompeii has over 11,000 of these inscriptions. Bar reviews. Bragging. Bad poetry. A bakery wall that says "Welcome, hungry people." Two guys fighting over a girl in the comments.

The technology changes. We do not.

@menchi2929 My first thought? This has to be the reproductive organs

I vibe coded something similar, not as good as this. I live in Malta so I made an app that tells me whenever a large heavy plane is flying over flight within 40 miles and even estimates where I should go to which balcony, front or back, and what direction to look to see the plane if I want

Here is a screenshot of it working. An A380 is flying past! I'm going to my back balcony with FlightRadar24 and going to look at it

@Higgy_rock American BBQ is like American jazz. You can play jazz at home. But don't invite me over when you do it.

@ok6ixx I'm always confused by "limited edition" being applied to something that you can eat

Enjoy a typical Japanese day??? How insulting! So far, from what I've learned, that means: "Work 14 hours, miss the train, sleep in a manga gaming club in the same clothes I'm wearing, and get cursed by a ghost for walking up the wrong side of the entrance to a Shinto shrine!!

ha ha :-)

My typical day is quickly increasing in resolution and I figure in a month's time I'll be ready🙏

@moneyistime100 100% of women have boobs. They're all 100% beautiful at any size at all. Pls stop any association with the idea that you have to have "big ones" to get a BF that will rock your world.

Thank you
