Verified: Microsoft 365 gets massive 45% price hike — and it's all to do with AI tools (Tom's Guide - January 17, 2025)
oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!
yemen is the poorest nation in the arab world. but in two weeks time, it did what no oil or gas- rich arab nation could do. by seizing three ships and costing i****l more than 2 billion by forcing its ships to go around africa, yemen showed up.
Just a reminder that Yemen has risked it ALL for Palestine, as they are going through one of the worst humanitarian crisis' ever. Due to their resilience, the puppets at the UN have decided to exclude them from the world food program. Yemen is STARVING. Please consider donating towards their hunger crisis. Let's show up for Yemen.
“Mom’s gay friend from her thirties had a mental breakdown so he’s going to live in our backyard for awhile until his antidepressants start working” is the funniest ending any of us could’ve hoped for God bless

Piss off!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!! :)))))
Truth is, it reads more like "she can do everything" and "him, it's just Ken"
And ken is a slang used in French that means "to fuck"
So "Him, it's just fucking"
Which I think is even more hilarious
there is no greater proof that no one cares about ken than the fact that in french a ken doll is literally a fuck toy and none of us knew about it
Had to explain it to some friends this morning so I'm copying it here
friend 1: [shares the tweet]
friend 2: johannes please confirm
me: I can confirm
you can read it like "She can do anything. He's just Ken." and that's clearly the intent but there's a type of slang called verlan where you basically reverse words https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verlan
"verlan" is verlan of "l'envers" (reversed) like if you want to say idk "policeman" there's the correct word "policier" but there's also among other words the more familiar "flic" and if you say it in verlan it's "keuf". COUREZ YA LES KEUFS (that would be one of the local equivalents of RUN, THE PIGS ARE COMING)
SO
one of the words to say "to fuck" is "niquer". And the verlan of that one is "ken". HAHAHA TU T'ES FAIT KEN (HAHAHA GET FUCKED) SO tldr you can also read that tagline like "She can do anything. He can just fuck."
I hope this answers your question
friend 1: That absolutely rules
Thank you Johannes that's made my morning
me: you're welcome
TiL
French has backslang
The backslang for "Ken" is "fucktoy" 😅
thank you johannes Tumblr university is the best adult learning program

happy disability pride month, guys!! let me remind you that this month is for all of us.
for those who need mobility, those who don't, and those who need them but don't use them.
for those who love being disabled, those who loathe being disabled, and all those in between.
for those whose symptoms range from mild hindrances to debilitating pain and struggle.
for those whose disability is invisible, undiagnosed, super rare or super common.
for those who have support and those who don't.
for those who are "out," those who aren't, and those who are out but not accepted.
for the hard of hearing and visually impaired.
for those with sensory disabilities. cognitive disabilities. physical disabilities.
for spoonies (yes, even those who use the phrases all the time) and for those who'd rather... not.
for everyone who is hurting.
for every person who's ever been told "it's not that hard," or "just be happy," or "you don't look disabled."
i see you, and i love you.
happy disability pride month to all <3
“And that quote, “The only disability in life is a bad attitude,” the reason that that’s bullshit is because it’s just not true.” - Stella Young
[IDs: Screenshots from the late, great, Stella Young’s TED Talk: I’m Not Your Inspiration, Thank You Very Much. Stella is a wheelchair-user sitting up on the stage in front of a massive crowd. In these screenshots, she’s saying, “No amount of smiling at a flight of stairs has ever made it turn into a ramp. Never. (Laughter. Applause.) Smiling at a television screen isn’t going to make closed captions appear for people. No amount of standing in the middle of a bookshop and radiating a positive attitude is going to turn all those books into braille.]
I use this speech and the underlying theories a lot in my PhD, but Stella Young honestly had one of those voices that needs to be heard by everyone, so I figured I’d post my favorite part of the speech here. If anyone remembers that time I threw myself onto the floor For The Vine, you’ll know that I also hate the quote: “The only disability in life is a bad attitude”. Stella just conveyed the message with less pain.

Happy Disability Pride Month 2022!
When corporations inevitably try to commodify disability in the same way they rainbow-wash queer identities, remember that toxic positivity and overly-inspiring videos do nothing to address the real inaccessibility and discrimination that disabled people of all intersecting identities experience!
"Pride month is over"
WRONG! Your pride month is over! Me and all the other disabled queers are having pride month two: disability edition
forget baby fever, the perceived need to grab any piece of free furniture you see in your 20s is unreal
Please, 20+ year olds, follow the rule of:
Hard furniture YES
Soft furnishings NO
Free bookcase? Table? Lamp? Go for it
Free couch, mattress or beanbag? Leave it be!
You don’t know if it has bedbugs and you do not want bedbugs. Also if a passing dog has pissed on it that’s the sort of thing you can’t always tell until it’s in a closed space with you. If you can’t wipe it clean, leave it!
UNFORTUNATELY bed bugs can and will hide in the seams of hard objects; they can be as flat as a piece of paper!
being smart has never stopped me from being a complete fucking idiot
