And if your dogs are as captivated as my dog by any insect, you’ve created engagement for multiple mammals here

I missed this!! I feel much the same about turbo chooks, they are ripper birds. I’ll do the noise at him right now and see if he enjoys it

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

Oh no, what a horrible responsibility. Thanks for loving their little fluff and trying everything you could. And thanks for everything to Myf, no doubt the best of girls.

I was handed a glass of their pinot gris recently and I’m still thinking about it, it was bloody delicious! Thanks again @vintagetasmania.bsky.social I’ll have to give their red a go

Jonathan, you make the world more bearable (it’s not just about the day drinking enablement, I swear)

And here was I forgetting the garnish. Bob had to get his own coriander tonight, the poor pup

Throw a "fuck" or "fucking" into your search to bypass the AI Overview

Throw a "fuck" or "fucking" into your search to bypass the AI Overview

I've just found the best hack. Swear in your search request. It's a great way to bypass the AI summary and make your search history look like you're chronically pissed off at everything!
