  1. Alt text in my last repost reminded me of a phrase we always insulted each other with as kids: "Du hast 'ne Meise!"

    du hast eine Meise = you have a chickadee

    The implication is that said bird resides in your skull in place of brains, and that's why you're so flighty, weird, and foolish.

  2. #Democrats are lately employing a strategy against Donald #Trump that he has been using effectively against his #opponents for years: #mockery. It started with the vice-presidential candidate Tim #Walz calling Trump “weird” and then bloomed into a bouquet of #insults at the Democratic convention: unserious, self-involved, entitled, obsessed with crowd sizes, “fell asleep at his own trial.” Where did this strategy come from? Will it remain #effective And can it backfire?
