I lived in Japan and there the use of English as a sort of toy for language is very common - Engrish. It surprises me that Denmark would have something similar. Maybe it's revenge for Häagen-Dazs which is gibberish.

The following sounds like it was written by Häagen-Dazs's marketing department. "Tribute" my ass.

Origin of brand name

"Häagen-Dazs" is an invented pseudo-Scandinavian phrase coined by the American Reuben Mattus, in a quest for a brand name that he claimed was Danish-sounding. However, the company's pronunciation of the name ignores the letters "ä" and "s", and letters like "ä" or digraphs like "zs" do not exist in Danish. According to Mattus, it was a tribute to Denmark's exemplary treatment of its Jews during the Second World War, and included an outline map of Denmark on early labels.

Mattus felt that Denmark was also known for its dairy products and had a positive image in the United States. His daughter Doris Hurley reported in the 1996 PBS documentary An Ice Cream Show that her father sat at the kitchen table for hours saying nonsensical words until he came up with a combination he liked. The reason he chose this method was so that the name would be unique and original.

I did a reverse image search and I mostly got Facebook results. My wild hunch is that it's a fairly obscure image. And I assume the tedious blue wave, anti-Trump meme loving Bluesky poster saw it there and was so clueless they didn't realize it's pro-Trump.

Sometimes them flyin' gators get trapped.

Look, my brother-in-law and I have common ground on a lot of issues. He might be incorrect about the threat of a brown horde invading America but at least he's not a beyond-the-pale leftwing extremist. That would be worrisome.

My eyes first when to the photo and then I read asterisk line then the 2nd and then the 1st . Reading it backward made it even funnier.

Predictions

1. Using fedspeak Powell basically says he'll never resign.
2. He resigns that week under mysterious circumstances. It's rumored that Trump directly threatened him and his children and grandchildren.
3. The US economy goes into a tailspin.
4. Trump, the GOP, and their propaganda media outlets like Fox News blame the democrats and woke.
5. Next year's elections are a bloodbath. For the democrats.
6. In response the democrats move wildly right.
7. The 2028 elections are another bloodbath for the dems.
8. In response the democrats move even more wildly right.

Oh god did the boomers penetrate Lemmy??

I think so.

David Litt

Litt's first book, Thanks, Obama, was a New York Times Best Seller.

In the article - Litt puts in a lengthy plug for his most recent book which came out just last month.

Litt's third book, It's Only Drowning, A True Story of Learning to Surf and the Search for Common Ground, was released on June 24, 2025. The book discusses the author's friendship with his brother-in-law during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I wonder what they'd do if a different mom with kids was arrested in the same way but she and her kids could pass as white. Would militias actually have convos like this?...

Chud 1: "A mom and her four kids was arrested at the border."

Chud 2: "We know about that."

Chud 1: "No. A different mom and four kids. She's French and she married an American guy. I think she's white. She looks white. The kids look white."

Chud 3: "I did some research. She has an Algerian grandfather."

Chud 1: "She's only 3/4th white?"

Chud 3: "Maybe less. I don't know about her other grandparents."

Chud 4: "How about the dad?"

Chud 3: "He looks white. But google was shit."

I don't think so. I think it's an actual product sold in Denmark.

Trump's an idiot so I'm not surprised the wall was child's play to jump over. I assume Facebook and Instagram walls can't be beaten. The rare time I want to see a log-in Instagram post - I use a no log-in mirror. Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't.

Dastardly!

If the CDC still exists

Ack.

Plague occurs in three forms, bubonic, septicemic and pneumonic, depending on whether the infection hits the lymph nodes, bloodstream or lungs. Most US cases are bubonic, typically spread via flea bites from infected rodents.

The article is shit and it doesn't say what form the victim had. Why didn't they update it? Another article says...

A resident of Arizona has died from pneumonic plague, health officials confirmed on Friday.

pepperbox pistol

A few months ago I googled that and then watched a few Youtube vids. I'm not a gun guy so at first I didn't understand stuff. The pistol appeared in the tv series Hell on Wheels.

I assume he has something stuck in his head. My guess is that it's something like a Sports Illustrated cover from 1983 that says "HOT!" with Christie Brinkley in a tiny bikini.

Baby Nut

I had to google. I never even heard of that. I never see ads.
