Scary

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Thank you so much to kind person who send me a station masters hat

I now look rather official

Tiny hat = maximum authority.

the Washington Post effectively blew up its arts section today, dismissing its books, TV, music, and theater critics, features writers, and several editors. (I'm also guessing the vacant film critic position will stay that way.) Just an insane loss of talent and a huge self-inflicted wound.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Completely unacceptable.

Policing is devolved in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so I imagine this won't be controversial at all.

This is Peanut. He decided to stay home from work today. Doesn't have a job, but is too exhausted to go even if he did have one. 12/10 (TT: peanut5025)

This is Maya. She hopes you find something you love even half as much as she loves sledding. 14/10 (IG: mayamoo_golden)

Received official notice today that my employer will be withholding 100% of pay for the next three weeks, to myself and all other members of @sheffielducu.bsky.social who refuse (as is our legal right, and our solidaristic duty) to reschedule classes cancelled due to strike action. Outrageous.

a golden and white Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever sits proudly atop a step while wearing a black bowtie. he’s posing next to an elegant gold award, a statuette with wings and a large round black base.

a still from the movie Good Boy, featuring Indy in a foggy wooded area, one ear back to listen out for anything that may be creeping up on him

an instant photo of Indy wearing his black bowtie. he signed it with his pawtograph in gold in the lower right corner.

This is Indy. He just made history as the first dog to win a major acting award. He won the Astra for Best Performance in a Horror or Thriller after starring in the supernatural horror Good Boy. 14/10 congrats Indy
