Momo, a little black cat, lies on a box facing you and your heart just melted.

(For clarity) Yes it's GenAI, but he isn't. Here he is looking particularly handsome.

A sleepy black cat lies curled up fast asleep with a weather-beaten wizard hat on his head.

My little wizard.

Windows can use nearby Android phones as the video camera and microphone, but only if they're on, connected, have permission, are nearby, in good signal, and stay that way... It's the end of level boss for video calling apps.

Windows 11 Phone Link is making my video calling webapp sad and I would like to disable it on your laptop please.

Foolish Samurai! (Love it.)

3 texts from Pets at Home. The first stating that there has been an incident at the Harlow Store and that the order will be moved to Hertford. The second saying that the message was sent in error and everything is fine. The third saying that the store has closed with immediate effect!

Are Pets at Home ok? 🫣

A graph of elevation for a cycling journey. It's flat for 90% of the journey, and the last part is a large spike where elevation goes up a lot before coming down again.

Why can't I cycle around the "mountain"?

Reform Watch: Racism, racism and more racism Each week we cast over eyes over what Reform have been up to – from bizarre proclamations to the detail of how their attempts to run councils are going.

Reform UK's Tom Pickup, has been suspended by the party after posting in a far-right Whatsapp group where other members posted calls for Keir Starmer to be shot.

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

The cover art for Sam & Max, the Devil's Playhouse. A point and click adventure. Sam, a large dog in a suit, runs towards the screen holding a gun. His colleague, Max, a kinetic rabbity thing with sharp teeth is beside him.

Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus, also a kinetic rabbity thing (although a little more purple and his teeth aren't so sharp, I guess) stands grinning at you from inside the circus tent. Behind him are some crudely rendered building blocks in glaring colours and the floor is a checker pattern. It's all very glaring and bright.

I can't not see Jax as Max. #TADC

A montage portrait of science fiction author N.K. Jemisin. On the left, she appears in a close-up photo with long, dark braided hair, wearing earrings, a delicate necklace with a pendant, a deep maroon sweater, and a shimmering green scarf draped around her neck. She has a calm, confident expression and gazes directly at the camera against a softly blurred dark background. To the right are three stacked book covers of her works. Top: The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth trilogy), with a dark, textured design and metallic title. Middle: The Obelisk Gate, featuring an intricate, glowing red-and-purple circular mandala-like emblem. Bottom: The Stone Sky, showing a dramatic stormy sky with a massive floating obelisk. The overall composition highlights the author alongside prominent covers from her award-winning Broken Earth series.

N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth series made her the first Black author to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel. She is the first author to win in 3 consecutive years & the first to win for all 3 novels in a trilogy. Recipient MacArthur Genius Grant, 2020.

Grunya Sukhareva - Wikipedia

TIL: Before Hans Asperger or Leo Kanner, a Jewish-Ukrainian psychiatrist named Grunya Sukhareva defined autism in 1925. Both men did not cite her work. She also had documented how it affected women and girls, where the men did not.

Two cats lie next to each other on a towel. They look cosy and comfortable next to each other. On the left, a beautiful tortoise shell cat, Suki, is curled up. On the right, her brother Momo, a black cat, has popped his head up to look at the camera. You have instantly fallen in love with them both.

I am now an indoor cat, but at least I have the munchkin club to keep me company.

Momo, a little black cat who is sweet and cuddly and gentle sits on a mat on a wooden floor. He has big black eyes, a haunted look on his face, and a Very Fluffy Tail. He came thundering in the catflap to tell me about the dog. Don't worry though, he's gonna be alright.

We saw the BIGGEST* dog!
