  2. @fedops it can help soil loss quite a bit but tilling and plowing can be helpful also, farming is an evolving vocation; you have to be rich to do it (1m is just a starting point) #gentleman farmer

  3. I’m at a stage in life where I value genuine conversation, kindness, and building real connections with like-minded people. If you’re in the US and looking for a friendly chat or to share some life stories, I’d love to hear from you.

  7. A quotation from Judith Martin

       DEAR MISS MANNERS: When does a gentleman offer his arm to a lady as they are walking down the street together?
     
       GENTLE READER: Strictly speaking, only when he can be practical assistance to her. That is, when the way is steep, dark, crowded, or puddle-y. However, it is rather a cozy juxtaposition, less compromising than walking hand in hand, and rather enjoyable for people who are fond of each other, so Miss Manners allows some leeway in interpreting what is of practical assistance. One wouldn’t want a lady to feel unloved walking down the street, any more than one would want her to fall off the curb.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    “Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1979-04-19)

  9. #Der #Werwolf von Whitechapel

    #London, 1888. Der #Nebel kriecht wie eine lebendige Kreatur durch die Gassen von Whitechapel, verschluckt das #Licht der Gaslaternen und hüllt die #Stadt in ein #Labyrinth aus Schatten. Inmitten dieser #Finsternis lebt Professor Alistair Grimshaw – Gelehrter, #Gentleman … und verfluchter Werwolf.

  14. A quotation from J. M. Barrie

       Cruelest jewel in that dark setting is HOOK himself, cadaverous and blackavised, his hair dressed in long curls which look like black candles about to melt, his eyes blue as the forget-me-not and of a profound insensibility, save when he claws, at which time a red spot appears in them. He has an iron hook instead of a right hand, and it is with this he claws.
       He is never more sinister than when he is most polite, and the elegance of his diction, the distinction of his demeanour, show him one of a different class from his crew, a solitary among uncultured companions. This courtliness impresses even his victims on the high seas, who note that he always says ‘Sorry’ when prodding them along the plank.
       A man of indomitable courage, the only thing at which he flinches is the sight of his own blood, which is thick and of an unusual colour. At his public school they said of him that he ‘bled yellow.’ In dress he apes the dandiacal associated with Charles II., having heard it said in an earlier period of his career that he bore a strange resemblance to the ill-fated Stuarts. A holder of his own contrivance is in his mouth enabling him to smoke two cigars at once.
       Those, however, who have seen him in the flesh, which is an inadequate term for his earthly tenement, agree that the grimmest part of him is his iron claw.

    J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
    Peter Pan, Act 2 (1904, pub. 1928)

  16. Ich habe mir heute nun endlich mal ein Fahrrad gekauft.
    Ziemlich geil, aber jetzt will ich ein E Bike haben! OldSchool Bikes sind nichts für alte Männer. 😂

    Doch doch. Geht schon, aber ich brauche jetzt echt eine Pause für meine Beine.

    Am besten über die Ohren!

  17. "April, would you be a gentleman?"

    April stopped to think. "Would I? I suppose, if I were born a hundred years ago. But you had to be a man to be a gentleman, didn't you?"

    "April, just open the door! This is heavy."

    "Sorry, Mother!"

    Ok, that's enough. The King of England should step up and show only he decides what a real country is, just to set things straight with all these fascist clowns.

    "President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state and welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed."

    What does the UK say ?
    Will they they keep their F35 and nuclear arsenal or will they pragmatically abstain when the aggression on Denmark will be unleashed ?
