Catatomical

#Bluesky officially crosses 30M users 🦋

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

I bought a couple a few years back. They are pretty decent.

I still have a cheque book and my husband still uses cheques. Sometimes a cheque really is the only thing that will do.

Two photos arranges side by side, both of my fluffy white cat Francie. The one on the left reads BLEP across the top and there is a photo of her looking sleepy with her relaxed tongue hanging out. The photo on the right has the word mlem across the top and she is caught in the action of licking her nose with her pink tongue.

Francie is here with a BLEP vs. MLEM tutorial. A blep is when the tongue is just hanging out at rest, stationary. Mlem is an action word for when the tongue is performing a licking motion - hence the name which is an onomatopoetic interpretation of the sound it makes.

Etymology of the day is ‘jargon’, from the Old French ‘jargoun’, meaning the ‘chattering of birds’.

I did, but I don't appear to own a copy. I will have to rectify that!

Sealions are right out. Here's a handy meme.

Sometimes it pays to have googly eyes in your wallet.

Day 32 of posting daily #memes from my discord.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson shot dead in Midtown Manhattan, masked gunman at large UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot near a Midtown Manhattan hotel in a potentially targeted shooting early Wednesday, according to police.

The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were found on shell casings near where Brian Thompson, the CEO of insurance giant UnitedHealthcare, was killed - as in, the legal tactics insurers use to reduce liability or reject claims abcnews.go.com/US/man-shot-...

The "Yugi blows Kaiba away" meme, where the first panel shows Seto Kaiba of the original Yu-Gi-Oh plays a a card smugly that says "don't speak ill of the dead." The second panel is of Yugi Muto looking at a card and smiling confidently. The third panel is Yugi apparently laughing while showing a card that says "don't be a piece of shouldn't while you're alive." The last panel is of Kaiba looking in pained horror as bright yellow light streams at him.

And in conclusion:

Hand with 5 gold rings on one finger

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, FIVE GOLD RINGS, four colly birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
Ate the birds. Sold the rings. Bought more birds with the money. Ate them too.

Stuck in a scene? Do what the pros do: use brackets. Write what the story beat is:

[Our hero gets out of the fight through clever means]

Then just keep writing what happens after. Maintaining momentum is key to getting the most words on the page. Meanwhile solutions often present themselves later.
