This happened to me too! Which was great for farming dragon bones, but it sure made a mess of the place.

A wide-eyed shih tzu gives the camera side-eye that is undercut by the fact that the tip of his tongue is sticking out.

I just poked Basil so that I could snap a pic for you, and this is the face he made.

Literally the only opinion I cared about knowing before checking the new show out was yours.

So I know what I'm watching this weekend!

As an asexual, it's particularly insulting to have my sexual orientation misused this way.

Asexuality isn't about whether a person is or isn't having sex (whether they want to or not), and to imply that perpetuates the myth.

The recipe stuff is extra annoying because it's literally faster to google* it yourself. Demanding it from a stranger on an asynchronous platform is least efficient way to go from "that looks tasty" to "eating tasty thing."

*Google does seem to be making this less true by the day, though.

It's called "progress." lol

Clearly, no one in analytics was consulted, because they would have told them the maths weren't mathing appropriately.

That's just mean of them.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Almost, but not quite burnt. If the peanut butter isn't edge to edge it's done wrong. I'm happy to have other things on toast, but PB will always be the winner.

It's a lovely, difficult essay. I can't imagine what it would be like to have an assumed piece of one's identity proven inaccurate like that. It says a lot about him as a person that he's willing to grapple with it publicly instead of hiding it for the sake of his career.

Well now I'm craving chili, and something something, price of beef, chili privilege, etc.

I stopped rating things online when it started to become clear that no one could agree on what the ratings even meant. Is 5/5: Good, Great, Exceeds Expectations, the GOAT, or just because we're afraid to have the stans freak out at us for liking, but not loving something?

Not penultimate, but the first time a flashback episode undercut the momentum so much that it's sourness stuck in my brain was when Lost killed off 3 major characters (of colour), then spent the next week telling us the whole history of the 2 white guys fighting over the island.

She said that there wasn't enough for the indigenous population in the budget, so she couldn't vote yes, but there was a major project for her specific riding, so she couldn't vote no. Hence abstaining.

It really does feel like we're going to be looking at abstentions being the thing that makes the difference

None of the opposing parties are in any shape for an election, and Canadians aren't in the mood. I'd be surprised if they'd risk it.

Voters might give Carney the majority just to spite the dissenters.

The show had a lot of other problems, but the fact that She-Hulk producers decided to open with the origin story instead of flashing back in the second-last episode where it was originally in the run, was so refreshing.

THANK YOU
I basically go into every new show that has a "mystery" assuming everything will be answered in the second-last episode, which isn't just a boring cliche now, but also makes me less interested in watching the show at all.

Because I LIKE ambiguity!

When I first heard about this, I was gobsmacked. Like... There is merit to the idea that kids can be encouraged to read this way and even learn how to tease out context more naturally than with old school phonics.

But you don't just...stop teaching the phonics! Why not both?

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

I'm not an easy crier, but I BAWL happy tears when they're reunited at the end. Every. Single. Time.

A photo of a newspaper advertisement, showing a zoomed in photo of a hand holding a Pilot brand fountain pen. "Make AI Jealous" is written in Japanese next to the hand, with "Write what AI can't touch" in English underneath.

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it

Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

I also hear a lot of the DST people complain about standard meaning 4am sunrises in June/July and like...so? Blackout curtains exist and whole northern cultures have figured out how to live when the sun doesn't set at all for parts of the year.

I don't even think he's technically lying here. Many GOP believe that Medicaid itself is a "waste" and thus, cutting funding is "reducing waste" and if there isn't funding, there's no money with which to abuse or defraud.

They don't even consider the people affected worth thinking about. :(

A sodden shih tzu glares over the rim of a deep claw foot tub with murder in his eyes.

Basil would like to report a crime. His human put him in the big tub that he can't jump out of and cleaned him. Even his butt is wet.

His human would like him to understand that by wiping his dirty butt on her rug, he asked for this.

Anecdotally, it seems that Canada telepathically agreed that everyone would trick or treat early so people could watch baseball...
