I have to learn to be patient in this game

Wife @missythefae.bsky.social reminded me to mention that we use a conference call to talk while we're playing. There's a chat function, and possibly voice chat, but we just use a phone. Like it's 1995 or something.

And people wonder why Bram Stoker wrote “Dracula”, a book about a pallid skinned people who burn in direct sunlight, who are repulsed by garlic and obsessed with crucifixes.

Over the next 4 weeks, we will be in Puget Sound with @whaleresearch.bsky.social for our second season of pairing drone observations of killer whale behavior with localized hydrophone recordings.

Here's a look at what a day in the field is like on this project, filmed last year!

That's amazing! But what am I looking at?

This is why I set notifications for @effinbirds.com

My grandmother was working at a café in the 1950s when a white man tried to steal a donut. She chased him down with a broom to beat his ass. The man who broke up the fight would become her husband, and much later, my grandfather.

The technical hurdle is everyone needs internet and a browser. For my eyes, the screen better be a decent size (laptop or tablet) but ymmv. You can make a free account and try free games, but the games you've heard of are more likely premium.

Game night! Recognizing that you didn't ask, may I offer an online option? Boardgamearena.com has a lot of good stuff available. And only one person needs a paid account to start premium games. We've been doing it with friends since COVID lockdown and never stopped.

And select apple skins?

As a Red Sox fan, I usually root against the non-Sox AL east team in the post-season. Maybe that's because it's often the evil Yanks? Not this year!

This is the very first appearance of Dr. Teeth, on March 18, 1975, promoting the upcoming MUPPET SHOW: SEX & VIOLENCE special. It’s remarkable to see how comfortable Jim Henson was both performing & improvising this brand new character, & just how fully-formed he already was...

Feels like a lot of different names for one bug from a relatively small island. Impressive.

A tiny human (2?) is sitting on Dad's shoulders while eating an ice cream.
But what is this?!
A BIG drip onto Dad's bald head?
Oh no!
Oh well, he'll just lick it off.
(Dad's expression running a whole gamut of emotions.) (1)

I could just stop doing interviews and send this

Of course he's smug. Just look at him. His charisma has its own gravity well.

The metaphor of starting with the "just the facade" and methodically crunching away at the entire building until there's nothing left shouldn't be lost on anyone.

The universe (or at least my bsky timeline) is working hard to make me notice Sally Coulthard today. This isn't the first time she's come across today.

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

wow, which common vaccine was it?

This is amazing!!

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

The response last night was so overwhelming, I need a new thread

So a family member died unexpectedly & left behind this sweet girl, who’s now on a 5day hold at a shelter in Eugene OR. I need to get her to Portland Maine to adopt her.

Some offered to chain a ride. Can we get her coast to coast?

‘Quiet as a whisper’: German firm launches ad campaign after lift used in Louvre heist After watching the news about the Paris robbery, managers at Böcker decided to make the most of the publicity

Bravo 👏😆

Yeah, I think this would sell me.

30+ years since I've been in a chemistry class or lab, and this number is still imprinted in my brain.

You know how dogs can have a "ticklish" spot that makes their back leg twitch if you scritch just right? Do sheep have the same thing?
