the guy at the exotic pet store, without any prompting, told me he's eaten every bug they sell and gave me tasting notes on the butterworms. he said they are an acquired taste because of their bitter, forward flavor profile, kind of like beer, and some reptiles don't like them.

Sweet Tart had been acting weird - pawing around, banging on the glass, not pooping, not eating much, hanging out in unusual places - for several days and I was starting to worry about her, but I just walked in on her laying her first clutch of eggs.

he's running

best slush fund bit I've seen at Vichy Twitter:

just some bullshit with fur

My wife picked up some free picture frames from someone off Buy Nothing and they gave them to her in this PriceCostco branded paper bag. PriceCostco became Costco in 1997, so someone has been holding on to this paper bag for at least 29 years, just in case.

a major reason insectivorous pets will never catch on is that their food has a lifecycle. my beardie is a very messy eater and threw a couple black soldier fly pupae (the black cylinders in her food dish on the left) into some corner of her cage and now they're flies.

I found this California Towhee hopping around my yard shortly after I saw this unfamiliar tuxedo cat scurry off, so I think she survived a cat attack. She can't fly anymore but she can still flutter a couple feet off the ground. I'm going to trap her.

BAR CAT! his name is Freedom.

Yeah, Zaurg was a legend. His threads are still up and if you know him, you took one look at that dril tweet and laughed even louder

My husband was in a meeting with Steve and a colleague asked a question he didn’t like, Steve said, “if you just left this room, the IQ would go up significantly.” Then he slowly turned his chair so he couldn’t see the guy. Deadly.

I've paid good money for worse meals than what University of Beer gives Cal for free.

welcome to the future

Ah shit I left the dog in the metaverse and they pulled the plug. Grandma too

every now and then i think about the pakistani nephrologist who probably had to remind bin laden to take his phos binders

I only interacted with her once and she immediately blocked me.

this is NOT a vegan sandwich because it is a not-vegan shape. Please consult the vegan shape guide to avoid future mistakes!

Most people rejected his message. They hated Freud because he told them the truth.

Spring is here which means Tortellini is active again.

I asked my Chinese friend why he put up this insultingly small flag. He said the HOA recommended he put up an American flag so burglars would think he had a gun.

I'm a real raccoon but even I'm not brave enough to eat street quiche.

Grok is effectively running Twitter all by itself.

I looked up who makes my vet's EMR and learned that AI veterinary radiologists already exist.

I knew Metric/Broken Social Scene/Stars tickets in SF were going to be expensive but $355.20 for standing room only or $426 for balcony seats for my wife & I is brutal.

My wife's fat ass cat just determined that she likes English muffins so now I have to lock them up too.

Epstein strongly disliked Ron Perelman, the former owner of Marvel Comics. Kathryn Ruemmler: What is our view of Ron Perelman? Epstein: litigious bad guy KR: What if he wants to hire me? Meaning hire Latham, but me at Latham Epstein: probably not. talk at lunch tomorrow. he is vile.

Epstein also brought up Pokemon Go in a long email chain with Deepak Chopra.

OK, this amused me. I gave Claude a copy of this classic XKCD comic and the prompt: "solve this. do a great job. ask no questions." And it gave me this in one shot 3 minutes later, including the style (and the note that it thought it was 2024?): xkcd-1425-bird.netlify.app

when i worked on writing these, this was explicitly one of the cases we considered and ruled out blog.google/innovation-a...

There's an interesting asymmetry in that there's not much difference between most of the respectable people who call themselves liberal or leftist, but there is a very big and very predictable difference between the dumbasses who call themselves liberal and the dumbasses who call themselves leftist.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

This made me realize a lot of DJs are about to lose their jobs. We have the technology to build an AI with a superhuman ability to work the mic, read the room, select tracks, and even create whole new tracks on the fly, it's just a matter of someone putting all the pieces together.

what the fuck we support multiple taint-focused hardware devices in @buttplug.io and we're nowhere on the list this is bullshit

my brother in law invited me to come go-karting. I thought it was going to be a chill family hangout but it was a go-kart LEAGUE full of serious sickos. I came in last place with an average lap time of 35.803 seconds, 4.437 seconds behind the #1 driver.

over on the other site a raw meat enthusiast admitted that when she refused to have sex with her ex-boyfriend he went out to find a dead animal to have sex with instead.

in the past four months I have returned six escaped animals to my neighbors. today I returned this chicken.

Old laptops can still have Windows 11 installed! You can bypass W11's hardware requirements by creating custom install media with Rufus. I did it last week so the kid I was gifting an old Win10 laptop (with a ryzen 2500u CPU) to wouldn't have to worry about Windows updates ending in a year.

It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground!

someone stole a Turkish Delight

the student is currently facing a punishment worse than expulsion: her MAGA mom is trying to defend her on Twitter.

dad is walking the dog, so this is penny and stel 😉 we want to earn money to buy Pokémon cards and dad said he would pay us if we came up with another sticker idea or story or something for his newsletter thing so can u guys help us think of some ideas for the stickers pleassse😁

Wife: Customer representative 🤖: ... Please press 8... [This had been going on for a while] Me: Give me your phone. [She handed me her phone. I clear my throat] Me: FUCK YOU. HUMAN! 🤖: ... Please wait while I connect you to the next available representative. Wife: what??

I may have finally been cured of my Twitter addiction by X's technical incompetence. They forced me to re-enroll my YubiKey's so they can retire the Twitter domain but it didn't work and now I'm potentially permanently locked out of my account.

My neighbor's dog escaped so he set a trap for it. So far he's only caught outdoor cats like Saxon here.

I praised Cal every time she found a piece of candy on our morning walk.
