The job description of a shelter vet should read "Invisible reservoir for unspeakable sadness and trauma that the public averts their gaze from"

Have any of the #modeltrains folks made it a goal of theirs to model and paint the 12+ designs of these that are out in the wild? I just need to know who's slutting it up. #trains

(after Trump orders the U.S. Army to open fire on a daycare center in Portland) “Mr Drumpf, this is not what the American people voted for. DO YOUR JOB SIR”

Too many drivers basically view bicyclists and pedestrians as NPCs and not as real humans they could turn to mush with their cars.

i don't really know what this means since literally everyone who regularly bikes in a city is already existing in a state of superhuman hyperawareness to avoid getting hit

I don't think there's any way around having horrible anxiety for 24 hours after a spay/neuter shift. I just imagine getting the call that one of my patients is found dead in the morning by their owner. I'm sure it will happen at some point just numbers wise if I do this long enough.

LiveAI demo fails on the first prompt at Meta Connect 2025. #Meta #AI #LiveAI

Bicyclist killed by a hit and run driver in an unprotected section of Coast HWY 101 😞 The posted speed limit is 35, but cars usually drive over 50. Should be protected by concrete. #sandiego #safestreets #bikesky

“A restoration team has also begun decontaminating the building, she said, but the process will take at least two weeks to a month.”

BOURDAIN: so ive had joints of mutton everywhere. exeter, wroexeter, berwick. Ive never seen a joint of mutton prepared like this MEDIEVAL SPIT-BOY: we roaste thee meat under a pafte which keeps the juices, and renders the meat moft tendere BOURDAIN: *chuckling* wow

Putting away all the "CIVIL WAR NOW" banners at the news station and bringing out the "Mental Health Crisis in America" banners with a heavy sigh

I’m saving my suspension-worthy stuff for the big one

The future is watching a Mormon influencer doing self-promotion following an assassination through your phone screen until you are the Mormon influencer filming

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

The news has just hit West Africa

Rest in piss bitch

a neglected/"replaced" skillset withers rapidly because your brain doesn't think you need it anymore! they made a turns-you-stupid machine and it doesn't even make good stuff! it's like if the monkey's paw didn't even grant you a wish it just punched you in head until you got worse at everything

the average american child's skin after RFK bans the MMR vaccine

We probably need to start a support group that meets regularly and has coffee and donuts in the back of the room.

by unpopular demand (literally no one asked for this)

it's got to be kind of a trip to be one of the 700 or so best people in the world at your profession, probably the best of anyone you knew growing up and into college, the elite among the elite at your calling, and then watch this guy outperform you, like, exponentially better than you ever could

Back around 2010 in Boston I would spend my lunch breaks hanging out with this homeless guy Ross. Everyone in the area loved him, so one day I gave him a microphone so he could host his own show. I discovered the DV tapes last year and edited some of it together. Here's 3 minutes of it

The three immutable facts about America are Gun, Car, and Slop. These have always existed, must always exist, cannot be negotiated with bargained with etc you know the whole quote, and any attempt to restrict them is worse than any crime

Your pussy shit AI could never make a Watto sexy. It could never make a lovingly rendered Watto bending over and pulling his panties to the side. It could NEVER add a silken sheen to the dusky blush of his cloaca

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

I hope RFK Jr is ready to perform the Last Rites for him (strapping his leaking carcass to the roof of his car and driving a minimum of 3 states before stuffing it in a chest freezer and forgetting about it)

be pretty funny if the news hits that joe biden died

Oh boy we've gone to the Dramamine Zone. A little travel blessing.

Still thinking about the guy who set off pepper spray on the subway accidentally today and then tried to hide it hoping no one would notice. A legendary moron.

Bullying works 😌

This is an objectively funny post.

Out on the town having the time of my life with a bunch of friends. They're all just out of frame, laughing too.

Interviewer: Why shouldn’t President Trump send the military to occupy your city? Big Important Democrat: I support and love the Police I really want to kiss the Police

Two Hitlers diverged in a road, and I-- I voted for the slightly less Hitler one, And that has made all the difference!

ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕

a thought i have reading @clintsmithiii.bsky.social’s wonderful piece is that one reason the administration wants to erase any mention of the worst of our past is because it is intent on recapitulating those atrocities www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ring: I can give you power to attain all your heart’s wildest desires Sméagol: YESSS I’m gonna live alone in a cave for hundreds of years and eat so many RAW FISH precious Ring: oh no

I know it’s considered rude to speak ill of the dead so in celebration of his life’s work, here’s a chart from Dr. James Dobson that helped generations of parents figure out the exact right number of times to hit their kids with a belt.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc. Via @theconversation.bsky.social
