Black swan

@Graygeek Velkommen til nabolaget!

“From tee-shirt to towel. These hand-towels are made from 100% recycled textile including the museum’s used uniforms and work clothes. Using one hand-cloth instead of three sheets of disposable towel saves 30% in C02."

Nice initiative at Moesgaard Museum. I happened to come across it just after hearing about the new EU rule that prohibits companies from destroying unsold new clothes. I was reminded of the fact: ‘It takes 1,500 litres of water to produce 1 tee-shirt.'

@benjaminlj Genialt!

@benjaminlj Fantastisk

@retrosponge Yes indeed. That struck me too. It's like the opposite of Covid taught us to avoid.

@benjaminlj Hahaha - du kan tro, jeg brokker mig Jeg ramte en eller anden enshittification tipping point for et par år siden og nu skriver jeg hver gang, en tjeneste eller et firma forværrer deres produkter eller kundeservice ved digitalt at ødelægge noget.

@kilroy_was_here Absolutely agreed.

@jwcph Great point. Exactly correct. The old at-at-glance poster was a traditional shopfinder and wayfinder - a list of shop names and categories with corresponding numbers on the map. As you say, the 'what else is here?' function is fundamental. I might be looking for, say, scented oil for a candle burner. I think I'm looking for that pharmacy I can't remember the name of, then I spot a health shop on the index, closer to where I'm standing. New and useful information, at a glance.

@markiejiang Bruuns Galleri? Because I happen to come in through the train station and therefore know it, I've never looked at those signs. That is daft! When you're standing in the middle of the shopping areas, there's no way to see which exit leads where. Exactly what you need is a fingerpost sign showing you 'Trains, Thataway'.

@benjaminlj Haha - måske burde jeg smide et link til mit gnavne trut ind i deres Ris Eller Ros web-kasse næste gang jeg surmuler mig forbi skærmen.

@dutypo Morgen! Have a good day

@AgatheBleibtDaheim Danke - ha' en god uge

I don’t often shop in this shopping centre. I had to find a specific shop so went to look it up on the giant You Are Here poster map with a store index. They’ve replaced it with a giant touch-screen you have to operate, clicking in & out of pages while the nearest 107 people follow along. Probably shows ads too. (I didn’t use it.) A waste of time. A waste of the customer’s and planet’s energy. The poster map was at-a-glance simple. It worked for decades. Such a stupid case of #enshittification.

@chessert Thank you

@Dienstag

@wannabemystiker Oh good! Am glad you're not directly affected where you are. My apologies for casting aspersions on the sun and its lovely sunset.

Edited to add: the phrase 'a clean sunset' is striking and unsettling, that we need to distinguish it on the planet these days

@wannabemystiker That purple and pink! Så smukt.

Edited because I only belatedly copped *why* it's so beautifully pink and purple. Not such a smuk reason. I'm sorry the fires and air are so bad there. Sending good wishes.

@DMakarios Thank you! I say on behalf of the sun, which made the flowers glow.

@wannabemystiker When it's not busy burning the earth, the sun does some lovely work in the flower-lighting department.
