If you go to CVS for vaccinations and get the $10 off $20 coupon but don't know what to use it on, shelters always need toiletries of some kind. I messaged mine asking what they need and then got them shampoo (and some Halloween candy because who doesn't like candy)

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

The more you learn about plants the wilder it gets that stores will sell 1) Plants that can easily injure, sicken or even kill you if you're not careful and 2) The Dark Souls of keeping a plant alive and not even give you a heads up! Some don't even give you its NAME - common OR Latin!

So tired of half the news lately being evil greedy people using the whole world as a focus group to see how far they can push us. They'll be like "What if we project ads on your windshield when you're at a stop light?" "What if we have an AI avatar fire you so your boss doesn't have to feel bad?"

Some people get shocked/offended that I don't want kids but the reality of people who figure out they don't want kids *after they have them* is a really bleak spectrum with murder on one end and shit like this closer to the other.

Night Rain. Speedpainting [4h] for Alisto. Koja being a precious bean 💙 #dragon #art #speedpainting

If you have concerns about certain algorithms suppressing certain words I found that searching for the term "horse vessel" minus the quotation marks gets you useful google search results (at least for now)

Microsoft has terminated unit 8200’s access to select cloud storage and AI services, making it the first giant tech company to terminate any services to apartheid Israel at least since the beginning of its Gaza genocide. Read more: loom.ly/aS6eYUQ #NoTechForApartheid #NoTechForGenocide

Finally got the Welsh Red Dragon finished

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Oh my god. The Rapture did happen but only my dogs were taken. Absence of dogs provided as proof below

It pisses me off that that leather-bag-left-in-a-puddle of a man who doesn't believe in sunscreen (as if that wasn't obvious) is probably getting cancerous moles removed monthly on our dime. If you collected all the cancer moles you could build a new one of him by now. Not that anyone would

Colonel Sanders redesign just to see what the right does. Give him gen z broccoli hair

oh. Oh okay

I was wondering how close I could get to this paper wasp before he would seem annoyed with me. The answer is: extremely close! I really got the feeling he was scrutinizing me while I was scrutinizing him.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

So obviously this is crazy enough as is, but this was actually the second pass they made down this street in this direction, so where the hell are they even going!?

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.

Watch out Stephen King! They're coming for you! (Alternate text: The character Bill from King of the Hill is depicted dressed as a greaser alongside two other greasers)

I think some things are net neutral masculinity, like the distress a lot of men feel when they see a woman changing her own tire

They should have made the accusers pay the fees, but instead they created a system that's incredibly easy to abuse.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Soft Swirl (1985-circa 1989): A line of soft-serve "frozen dairy desserts" that came in an ice cream cone-shaped container, with a star/cross-shaped hole in the top. You'd eat the soft serve by squeezing it out of the hole. Available in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry

Discocunt and penisula, in that order, are still my favorite typos that I've encountered in the workplace.

Why do the frozen cuboid carrots only show up alongside peas or in mixed veggies? I wish to have the cube carrots by themselves because the disc carrots do not always suit my needs.

Love the big dog thing where if they're on the floor and you scratch their rump with your toes they start kicking and flopping from the good scritches, we call it the Stupid Dance

I'm just saying, now that we know the power of one etsy witch, imagine what we could accomplish if we coordinate our turkey wishbone wishes.

I think a fun thing to start would be Doomcember, where if you have ADHD doom piles/boxes/etc. you set a reasonable goal to clear one or more before the month is up so that you start the new year with a little less stress.

Just had some English muffins and thinking about tossing the muffin sand around my car so I can pretend I just got home from a fun beach vacation

One more Duolingo post and I'm done: if you're still using it, it's going to get even worse. They're replacing hearts with "energy." Every positive they mention in the Verge article posted is a lie per people actually part of the rollout. www.reddit.com/r/duolingo/c...

I fully acknowledge I should have done this months ago, but I finally uninstalled Duolingo. I hit a concept I was struggling with and since they paywalled learning from your mistakes there's just no point in continuing.

Funnily enough, for me it's cold stone creamery's cheesecake ice cream with graham cracker pie crust and cherry pie filling - except at my local locations the cherry pie filling has been discontinued (apparently some locations still have it though!)

WHY THOUGH IF I DIE "YOUNG" IT'S BECAUSE THIS HOLSTEIN COW KNOCKED ME DOWN

Could you all please smoke better quality weed, I have big idiot dogs and I need to know if there's an actual skunk out there

I always wondered if there was another layer to this joke, because elote can mean corn in general but can also refer specifically to the dish/snack also called *street corn* which is even funnier to me

DAGWOOD IN HELL (1963) - A sandwich accident sends Dagwood straight to Hell. After an infamously long dismemberment and reassembly sequence, he must solve various riddles in order to save the souls of Blondie, his children, and their weird dog that looks like them.

The Expanse (I've seen the show, haven't read the books (sorry)) is a fantastic Torment Nexus story - the Belters toil to have access to food, water, and even oxygen that's under corporate control. Of course oligarchs love to think about that scenario.
