This one doesn't read properly in any direction; I assume that these screens aren't in sync and it's the first screen's fault.
Playing the harmonica.
Your mouth cavity forms part of the instrument (like the body of an acoustic guitar) so you need to precisely control your lips, tongue, jaw, etc on top of the usual embouchure skills that you need for a wind instrument, while also being sure to only use the hole/holes you want. You get different notes when you blow and draw (suck), so you must control your breath so the note doesn't squeak - unless you're doing that on purpose, which lets you play notes outside the key of that particular harmonica. You also need to balance your in and out breaths so you don't get too full or empty of air (a few notes have both in and out options to help with this).
I'm very bad at the harmonica.
Zaatar is both the name of a herb (Hyssopus officinalis) and a spice mix, containing the herb along with sumac, salt, etc. Mostly references to zaatar are about the mix as that's what normal people actually use.
The herb is quite strong, is like a slightly bitter mint, and is also used in Chartreuse and absinthe.
We will implement a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) that will allow sharing storage and media processing between servers.
This is pretty big too, as the cost and legal risks of hosting this user content is high. They've clearly thought about the media moderation problems too:
We will build a reference implementation of a Automated Content Detection service, again as a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider with an open protocol.
This will allow server owners to opt-in to use external tools to scan content for spam, illegal materials, etc in order to help them fight bad actors; they could self-host these tools if they choose to do so, or share the infrastructure with other servers for better efficiency.
Another problem is that system requires agreeing on what a week is, and there's disagreement over whether Sunday starts or ends the week.
Tell me more about these bunkers, let's Streisand this.
I had to look it up too. You might want to stop reading after the Kangaroo paragraph.
Kangaroos are born after less than a month, and then climb into the pouch, attach to a teat and stay there for half a year before being ready to face the outside world.
Spotted Hyenas gestate for about 110 days and then have to make it though the mother's pseudo penis, which can tear with first-time mothers (fatal to her) and can suffocate the cub (fatal to them) with cubs of first-time mums only having a 40% chance of surviving birth.

This is the one that always makes me think of DPaint:
I enjoy the contradiction of middleend
“Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State,” Trump continued.
If he hasn't done anything wrong, why does he need a pardon?
Watermelons became symbols of Palestine amid censorship of the Palestinian flag because of its similar colours.
Ah, ok - before reading I thought someone had got their stereotypes mixed up.
It's an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.
Isn't picts-rs just something that runs on one server and just handles converting and resizing images? The new remote media storage stuff could run that, but the point is to allow more centralised servers so not every instance needs to individually store, process and transmit media.
Not just media, things like searching the Fediverse can be handled by a dedicated server, shared (or not) by multiple servers. Also spam detection, link preview generation, etc.
