Cream tabby Maine Coon cat staring intensely at the camera

so, to understand this story there are a few things you need to know

- my cat, Gus, believes he is a trained support animal
- he is not (he has relatives who are, but he is not)
- he believes he is a seizure-detecting dog
- he is not a dog
- I do not get seizures

Come on, it would be incredibly cruel... to tempt anyone to watch more than 12 hours of that.

Psst. Too few people look at change closely enough, b4 leaving an establishment. So, an alternative suggestion... bsky.app/profile/epig...

Admittedly, sending coins through USPS isn't always ideal. Maybe team up with others to pool DT coins, then deposit directly in the bank before using online donation systems. Or, if you know of a good local charity to work with, deliver coins in person - w/staff selfies! Any no-circulate solutions!

The BBC should start its own crypto coin - call it the Cry Baby - and offer to compensate Trump with a trillion Cry Babies.

Just found out about this DT coin BS. My immediate thought (after FFS!) was we shouldn't spend them, EVER! Donate any DT coins to a nonprofit combating sexual abuse of minors - and make sure you share a pic of what you did to any/all social media accounts. #MoreTantrumsHeThrows, faster he's gone.

OK, scale of 1 to 10, 1 being boringly sane and 10 being batshit crazy...

I said I was going to run for Governor of lL in 2026?

And yes, you must provide your work (i.e. why you picked that number).

#SpunStrawPoll

it’s so egregious because it’s so blatant that the conservatives voted against their own self-proclaimed “judicial principles” so that their guy could get into office.

OMFG, can I come too?!

I am also now wondering the plausibility of launching part of my doc project along with this opening.

Yesterday’s tranche of Epstein documents prove that the only value women have to the politically and financially powerful currently running this country is as children to rape or as lab benches for their racist eugenics projects.

I never want anyone to ask me why I’m so angry ever again.

And to once again give Mr. Minchin his due credit for helping me move forward on something I've been struggling to get started on for a while now.

Looking for volunteers from people inside and out of the #disability community, for a project to gather stories from around the country; it's time to change the narrative, and I gots me a plan.

Start with the video, end with Medium.

Oops, I stand corrected. According to the video's description, it was delivered on 25 September, about 1.5 weeks before turning 50...

So wise for someone so young. ;)

Weeks after turning 50, @timminchin.bsky.social manages to coin the best moniker for Gen X I've ever heard - while also summing up why LLMs cannot make art, and revealing one of his best songs/vids ever.

Was reading a thread about people dismissing the need for benefits like SNAP, based on the old "Give a man a fish..." and "God helps those who help themselves" schticks, and I was so pleased with how well my reply flowed that I thought it was worth sharing elsewhere.

Still hoping for a little help here folks. Sharing or contributing - many thanks either way.

I would too. When it first occurred to me, I found myself trying to think of any research in the ballpark that I'd heard mention of, and it was just odd that nothing came to mind. Betting its like how few people have even heard of the research on emerging cases of GLPs causing LT motility impacts.

two men are standing in front of a sign that says mr rental Alt: A scene from Spaceballs, with two men are standing in front of a sign that says mr rental, and the dialog, " When will then be now?" "Soon!"

Ooooh, and neither RS or SaMK really ended with a "Won't they?" unanswered. They done did.

Whereas Moonlighting managed to drag it out so absurdly that the only thing that could save it from ending in real disaster, was a meta-splosion - not unlike the "prepare to fast forward" scene in Spaceballs.

That take is, indeed, quite wild.

Yeah, PV/LS banter/bickering was hilarious, but no one was really seeking just 10ish minutes of scenes with legit lightening-in-a-bottle sexual tension.

Also, I was glued to all 4 shows, but must be said; Remington Steele and Scarecrow & Mrs. King did it first.

Right? It's almost like - crazy as it sounds - the IDF never cared about hostages or reducing any carnage. They just said whatever would shut up the protests for a minute, & w/o an aligned international body challenging the IDF with real consequences, there is no path to Palestinian survival.

Sorry... is this a thing? Having one party to a ceasefire turn it off and on like a f*cking light switch?

There are no national media outlets in Durango, CO - 8 hours from Denver - like there are in Chicago or LA. Grateful to have local journalists + the Durango Herald covering the latest ICE thuggery.

Tonight, went from drafting this comment on a blog, to considering a deep-dive article on the topic.

"Are we ever going to seriously consider naming the psychological (or maybe anthropological) condition, of continuing to see character flaws in established psychological and neurological behaviors?"

That's a poetically apt way of saying it.

Nicely done. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be as eerily prescient as it sounds.

A 2025 still browser-based ad image for the TV show Talamasca: The Secret Order, centered with a sliver of the lead character in the series, played by actor Nicholas Denton.

A cropped version of the "Talamasca" promo, beside a still of Jason Patric in "The Lost Boys, on a black background, with white text across the top which reads, "Admittedly, Jason Patric and Nicholas Denton generally don't look that much alike, but..."

Am I the only person who saw a promo image like this, and thought:

"Ooh, did they actually get Jason Patric to star in new Lost Boys TV show and... is... wait...

Is Lost Boys part of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and I never knew that?!! Because I know WTF #Talamasca is!"

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Oh, but don't you know, that doesn't apply because Congress didn't do it. A dipshit POTUS did it via EO, which he has no legal right to do. But hey, I guess the Establishment Clause was never meant to apply to any other governmental action than Congress, right?!

Children are less childish.

This means that marine biology classes cannot discuss, say, parrot fish.

(Parrot fish typically start out as female, then later say, you know, I've had enough of this, and turn male, all while munching away with powerful teeth on coral.)
