(Plus, the topic of 'parasite conservation' sounds both repulsive and enticing at the same time... that's a hit on the curiosity button for sure!)

OMG, don’t get me started. We are cutting a slice of our tightly stretched healthcare spending just to fill the pockets of insurance executives.

This young man is awesome! His shows are selling out around the country. John Prine and Woody Guthrie both echo through his lyrics and vocal style.

When Trump says “Drill, Baby, Drill”, don’t you think he is thinking about Stormy, or the one time he slept with Melania?

Trump doesn’t hate windmills, he hates WIND! He has plenty of reason to hate and fear wind, given his hair situation.

They were exceedingly proud of themselves, although I had to hear lots of complaints.

I am I the only one that if afraid of wizards with no back button?

The coyotes paid a visit to our chickens, and managed to bust inside their coop. But no chickens were harmed, only one feather was lost in the process.

It’s weird how context can change everything. Before retirement, household chores were stressful and crammed into the weekend. Now, I get a lot of joy out of household chores because they remind me of the weekend. Never would have thought that happen.

Wow!

@kellybrenner.bsky.social - Excellent photos and beautiful job on Alt Text!

We will really miss winter when it is gone. Southern California has a pretty good idea of what that future looks like.

No shit. The number of people that die getting just the right selfie.

The harder part is the utter lack of empathy. You know they wouldn’t be posing if it was their home burning.

True enough. It just keeps getting more and more laughable, exhausting, outrageous, and terrifying.

Dr Strangelove fits that bill, kinda.

'Historic' drop in U.S. overdose deaths accelerates as fentanyl crisis eases A new CDC report shows at least 16,000 lives were saved over a 12-month period. Experts say the U.S. is experiencing the biggest drop in fatal overdoses seen since the opioid crisis began in the 90s.

Well look at that. Fentanyl deaths have dropped significantly with Biden in office. Could be coincidence, but I am sure some people are feeling like using since November 5th.

Solid black kitten.

Tuxedo kitten.

Long hair chocolate black kitten.

I am currently fostering three kittens, beautiful!

And once again, the jokes write themselves.

Capitalism is an “ism”, too, Pete.

Russia denies Trump call with Putin urging restraint in Ukraine The US president-elect, who is promising to end the conflict, was reported to have spoken to Vladimir Putin on Thursday.

Ferry riders have the best commute!

Photography friends say the image resolution and color is better on bsky. Looks like it to me, subjectively.

Ah, but the boot from USB is such a convenience for hackers that can get physical access to air-gapped computers…
