Flame point cat sitting next to a salt lamp, which is bathing her in orange light. Her pupils are reflecting brilliant orange.

Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

The way AI has instantly been embraced by so many people feels different, though. I’m seeing it used at work already, and casually asking ChatGPT things seems ubiquitous. As someone who doesn’t, I already feel like a curmudgeon without a TV

She looks pretty typical to me (and very pretty!)

If you rub her sides and you can tell there are ribs in there somewhere she's probably in the average range, or if you look at her from above and she seems fairly streamlined

Some cats just have very flappy bellies

hey quick question how do we fix whatever cultural circumstances made this sentence possible

I only glimpsed auroras a few times when I lived in Wisconsin, just faint gray streamers, but I vividly remember the way they moved.

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

You have come to a dead end in the maze.

The wrong perverts run this country

Americans will really use anything but the metric system (complimentary)

I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep

And that's how I got a Bachelor of Science in English

(After a couple changes of major, I was closer to a BS than a BA, so... what the hell. I took a little more random science to finish the requirements, and those were some of my most memorable classes.)

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college

-Botany (loved learning to ID plants, still use it)
-Entomology (raised hawkmoth caterpillars)
-Creative writing (several variations)
-Agricultural journalism
-Canterbury Tales (concentrated summer session; my last class)

This is part of a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

My feed is dominated by sand discourse and it feels very nice.

Almost as nice as very fine sand, which (sometimes) squeaks when you walk on it.

I suppose it's a good moment to mention that the most neglected subdivision of sand is 'very fine' (63-125 µm)

so many people, including some sedimentologists, will just completely skip over 'very fine' and go from silt to 'fine' sand (125-250 µm)

don't forget about 'very fine' sand! 😁

Practicing being cool and calm. Look how much I’m not screaming

I got Ken a grabby stick when he had back surgery and we use it all the time. Not as flexible as telekinesis though

For some reason short weeks with Mondays off always drag! It feels like it should be Thursday by now.

If we didn't binge the whole thing in a weekend we probably wouldn't have made it through the first season

Did you just start The Expanse from the beginning? It's really good, but I've rarely seen anyone find it immediately engaging. The first couple of episodes are almost trying to alienate viewers, which kinda works but requires some effort to get past.
