Hey all I really need to adopt her out. Taking care of her is starting to cut into the money I have saved for rent. I'm on the verge of ditching the rescue's application process just to get her out of my house sooner. If you can please help please share!

If anyone is wondering how my day has been, Dad lost his wallet earlier in the week and only noticed yesterday, and some financial stuff I tried to do for him got completely messed up and I’ve had to ask for a manager to complain. No, really.

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook. MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops! ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

The current paradigm of "AI"— all of its, e.g., embedded values, design, cultural deployment, & structural affordances— has been repeatedly demonstrated to harm both critical skills development & the structure & maintenance of the relational social fabric. That sounds pretty anti-pedagogical, to me

Ah, the fun of being in a waiting room and trying to not mentally snark over other people’s fashion choices - not least because I know they’d do it to me as well. It’s not like I make any choices but comfort and then after that what society finds acceptable.

Car going in for inspection today and I get to find out how many other things are wrong too. Fingers crossed it’s all minor stuff. We know about the part that got half-torn off in the tunnel debris at least. Sigh.

I will never not repost this (Sound on for maximum effect)

I would much rather meet a black bear, I think. The joke is that a black bear sees a hiker with a pack full of granola and trail mix and thinks “How do I get my food off that human?” and a cougar thinks “How do I get that pack off my food?” I’d submit that a hog thinks “Food! WITH TOPPINGS!”

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Having worked with many printers, Yes? But also they're like geese, and if you can handle them you can handle printers. It's a wild talent, they should test for that sort of thing in childhood, see if folks can get steered on a job path sooner.

I hate sharing this one so much, but winter is coming and thanks to medical weight loss, I'm looking at replacing fall & winter gear which ain't cheap. I've got an ongoing goal that I put up post layoff: ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic/g...

Okay, it's down the hill to Braddock for a farm festival in which the weather is... nice? Too nice for early October, but eh it's better than sheeting cold rain I guess. That'll be next week when the rescheduled farm walk happens :(

This is fucking hilarious. I actually laughed out loud in a crowded cafe. This guy claims his company has a Javascript framework with "AI self-healing at runtime." But look at the graphic included! The slop and unwillingness to fix it is disqualifying. javascript.plainenglish.io/how-i-built-...

Our Democratic judges are on the ballot to be retained for another term — vote YES! They’ve done a great job. The nonpartisan Bar Assoc recommends retaining them! They’re protected our votes, and our rights, per the PA Constitution.

Ceci n’est pas une pomme (It’s actually a baozi -sweet white flour bun with golden custard filling - figured it was apples and honey season)

The thing I just don’t understand, and cannot wrap my head around - how are there so many of these people that are willing to work for outright fascists and they still have families? They aren’t shunned by their friends? Are they just all so down the rabbit hole of tribalism and hate?

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Downtown. The bath tub has an accident holding everything up. Good luck non locals figuring this out one.

This is a great piece, shows not only how games are an intrinsic part of our cultures but also how you can use them to tell wider stories. Excellent stuff

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

I genuinely had no idea that my Mum Voice had hit Bene Gesserit area-effect levels already…

Cancelled Disney+ and for the reason I just copy-pasted Nemik's Manifesto. Clearly they should have watched Andor just a few more times to get it, eh?

Running a poll to try and get data on what devices and formats people read TTRPGs in, so designers can make more informed choices. I intend to share the data once I've gotten enough responses, please spread this so we can cover more ground! forms.gle/V7WtvMpAUkJa...

“And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”-Nemik, 5 BBY

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Got some surprise medical bills so I'm doing an impromptu sale to try and lessen the blow. Until the end of September you can get 20% off of prints on my shop with the code PRINTEMBER925. bfcomics.bigcartel.com/category/pro...

And yesterday they installed the solar array and two batteries! The batteries are online already, which is great, although we have to wait for the utility inspection probably next week before we can turn it all on. WOOOO go baby!

Got new Covid and flu shot, waiting to see how wrecked we get. Engaging immune systems... now!

Early 1986, Mom Dad and me went to see Cats at the Winter Garden Theater in Manhattan. Intermission, and the women's bathroom has a line. Mens? Nothing. Me, Mom, and another women walk over, it's empty. We take it over - one women stays outside guarding, rest take turns. Not a single man came up.

Oh...oh woah. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gblj...

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

WHAT IS UP, CHICAGO??? Iron Circus Comics is up and running at Printers Row Lit Fest! Drop on by for a huge selection of our most popular titles, and a FREE ZINE by @meganpiont.bsky.social about how to protect your neighbors from our bullshit federal government!

Picking up my Hatch chiles from Mad Mex - I’m told they have a little kick. I’m going to find out if we mean white person kick, or actual kick. Wish me fun times? :)

South Side. The Burger King. Former employee outside dancing, claiming she killed another employees baby daddy. When the caller was asked how many people are involved they stated “the entire shift”.

OH HELL YES I still had all 77 of mine, guess what I just submitted! WOOOOOOOO my memes will live on!
