Always thought pompom.

Oh yes. They have a pair in every room, mend them when they break if possible, and yet still lose them all the time because they refuse to try and mitigate when they know what they're like. I bought most of them, so I fail to have sympathy. If you leave things where the dog can get, it your fault.

A chewed up pair of cheap reading glasses, in pieces with loose lenses.

So, uh, let's not tell the person with adhd, who's always complaining about the puppy being naughty (no he's not!), that this is what just happened to their (cheap) reading glasses... As they're always losing them anyway, we'll um, we'll just blame that... Shhhhh!

A purple origami dragon designed and folded by Matthew Green.

I designed a new #origami dragon today. I want to create a really simple one but that's easier said than done. This is neither really complex not really simple, but I like the result. It really looks like a lizard with wings although not able to fly without magical assistance due to the proportions.

Very beautiful. Especially in purple.

A 'toaster with a lens': The story behind the first handheld digital camera In 1975, a young engineer in the company that made Kodak film took the first picture on a handheld digital camera. Photography would never be the same again.

Weird how animals just got funnier in the past few months. Weird how they've upped their game.

If you see a video of cute animals causing chaos in a way that, ha ha, you couldn't choreograph if you tried! Then it's probably AI. I'm getting good at spotting it at a glance. They all share a smeared blurriness. Also, incidental items (tools, cups, food) morph, merge, move, or disappear.

Catching up with #uncanny. I suspect Ciarán is just trolling Evelyn now, with that popcorn suggestion.

But he has good eyebrows, so it's not all bad.

Thanks. I'll try listening when focus occurs.

#TheWarBetween. Well I enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would. On #TeamFish. We deserved that.

And it stayed miraculously clean after crawling through that vent...

A grey squirrel with brown patches of her face and chest leans on a window sill, one paw raised as though explaining something, and looks earnestly at the camera.

Your obsessions might be hell for you, but they yield fascinating results for the rest of us. Glad you share your findings, and I hope telling us helps get it out of you. My poor old mum has to listen to so much guff she has no interest or understanding of, but I have to tell someone what I found!
