An image of a handwritten poem of the first world war, penned in 1915 by John McCrae, text reads: "In Flanders fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields."

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Screenshot of text: unfuck google drive by shooting gemini Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again! Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

A mockup of an old, weathered pulp science fiction novel named "Fishers of Phaenna" showing a miqo'te character with a fishing rod on a glassy alien landscape under a pink sky.

My friend and I were talking about how picturesque the new cosmic exploration planet is in FF14. They posted a screenshot and I said "wow, looks like a pulp sci-fi cover." So... I made it one.

ppl often ask me who will take care of me when i'm old if i don't have children. obviously i will go on an ill advised solo hike of the appalachain trail, die of exposure, and be eaten by coyotes. the way God intended

A drawing of Henry Mitchell, the smiling, bespectacled dad from the comic strip Dennis The Menace.

Who's the worst cartoon character?

I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics.

It's gonna take a thread.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

one of the many great things about being married to your best friend is that you both have a built in permanent complaints department in each other. we are constantly like "babe you wanna hear some stupid bullshit i'm mad about" and the answer is always yes

I was laid off from CR this morning. My manager was not present and I was locked out of all of my accounts before the meeting with HR even ended, so I couldn't give anyone a heads-up or say goodbye

I'm starting job hunting immediately, but if anyone needs a senior-level designer, let me know ✌️

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Look at this potat

After coming back from Ultima Thule, Setsuya showed you the end of the world, and you realize you have never felt so very small.

(Alric and Setsu have a weird mind-meld specialized Echo thing going on, so Alric got to relive the events of UT like he was there, yayyy) #linepose #ocalric #ocsetsu

Maybe this post will also go hard?

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?"

Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Scorpio: Actually, the intense paranoia you feel is quite well-founded. Your therapist is a moron.

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

The spring stems of the pussywillow plant. The flowers are puffy and white and line the stems like pompoms. Amongst the flowers are tiny cats of the same colors who have tails that mimic the pussywillow flowers perfectly.
