I love a good werewolf movie and this--while lacking were-anythings--looks like fun!

Fly agaric/Amanita muscaria mushroom

Wow…for you mycology fans: I just found my first Amanita muscaria. And it’s HUGE!

Shifting Baseline Syndrome absolutely fascinates me.

Much in the same way that frog-in-a-pot terrifies me. (<— or lobster in a pot for New Englanders: put in pot of tepid water, bring slowly to boil…theory is they won’t t know they’re dead until they are…and then they still won’t know).

We’re-camels!!
Cool, I’m down with that—consider one copy sold!

A pitiful little merle corgi puppy curled up asleep wearing a onesie that says “Ruff Life” on the back. The onesie is therapeutically tight, so she has a HUGE lion mane-esque ruff poofing out around her neck. She is also using a plushy lightsaber as a pillow, because of course she is.

Ceres had her spay yesterday and because our vet understands corgis she did not get a Cone of Shame, she got a Onesie of Shame instead and it is HILARIOUS

I know this is meant for a dog, but same. "My personality: I am very shy, but I am very food motivated, so I am just a few treats from being your best friend."

Good morning

Here’s some dog content to temporarily distract you from the mess happening in the world

Tea is a really nice drink!! We should explore to see if there's other tasty foods inspired by letters of the alphabet. Not P, but others

I bet if dogs went to middle school they'd prank each other in the hallways by turning each other's ears inside out.

Pugs are what happens when a werewolf bites a potato.

I love Mad Magazine

Infamous 'Wow! signal' that hinted at aliens may actually be an exceptionally rare cosmic event The source of a supposed alien broadcast that made researchers go "Wow!" may instead have been the result of a remarkably rare cosmic event, a new study suggests.

Oh cool, they think they cracked the WOW! signal! www.livescience.com/space/extrat...

Lobster Shack: Don't you want to treat your Valentine's to the gift of fresh Maine lobster?

Me: How in God's overused curse of a name did you get this email address?

Lobster Shack: So you don't want—

Me: Shut up. No one said that. Tell me about your sea bugs and clarified butter.

While I'm at it, this cup holder is awesome: made for couch armrests, it's great for any uneven surfaces (and cats). The little wings are floppy, so will be fine even on a flat surface.

Late to the game: I found this image with a pot in it that would work...but have no idea where the pic-taker bought it.

Your best bet is to get a pot that is wider than it is tall. Basic design physics. And set it on a silicon sheet so he can't puch it around.

has there ever been a cozier man

There was a roadrunner that frequented my yard and that was so cool. Cooler even than when coyotes decimated my pyracantha bush. I'm guessing the San Fernando Valley is at the far end of the roadrunner's range?

If I have any advice for making comics it’s this:

Sure your comic might be bad, but no one can make that bad comic in quite the same way you can, so you should still do it.

A veterinarian was giving a talk on diet at a local dog club meeting. One thing he mentioned was that dogs will eat random stuff to provide some component that is missing in their diet.
At Q&A time:
One woman asked, "My dog eats cow manure. What is he missing in his diet?"
Vet replied, "Cow manure."

Researchers believe they've recorded potentially the first-ever sighting of an adult abyssal fish, Melanocetus johnsonii, in broad daylight.

Normally found at depths between 200 and 2,000 meters, this predator was spotted just 2km off the coast of Tenerife.

Newsom should offer them a fire-sale discount.

Win-win or too-soon?

"Canada is not as fun as you think," my Canadian friends often remind me.

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy.

Three main reasons the fire exploded:

1. Drought-like conditions
2. Very low relative humidity
3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph

Screenshot of Hollywood Reporter interview: “I don’t want to sell this. To who? No one should own this. The fact that I have to do this with my team is not OK. Part of this is out of spite. I’m angry that I’m here having to do this, and the government hasn’t spent the money to do this themselves,” Mills says. “So, no, it’s not for sale. No, I’m not open to change all of a sudden, and I just don’t give a shit.”
