I feel like there should be public works employees who bring dignity and closure to hit animals, wild and domestic. It says a lot to me about a county’s priorities when they let road kill molder and decompose roadside or road-middle, as the case may be. The lack of humane regard is saddening.

Brutal. I was going to prep an asynchronous course for this summer, but it had no promise of making (new prep uncompensated) and the ai usage would be disheartening to say the least. Andrew’s experience below confirms my decision to pass was the right one.

Grass Snakes are so cool. No nonsense, just a pure default snake. Bro is literally just 🐍

#caturday with heat advisory and sound machines for tonight’s fireworks. I fucking hate fireworks and do not understand how you can just roll up to a yellow castle called Circus Explosives or whatever and leave with quarter sticks of dynamite and 700 mortar rounds of screaming red whistlers

Aid and abet all cats!

Setting off fireworks doesn’t make you more patriotic. It just shows you’re willing to ignore the fire risk and the stress they cause for dogs and other animals. 🎆 🐕 🔥 🎇

1806 Boston petition against fireworks. Nuff said.

I saw a meme I didn’t understand (v common) and was frustrated enough to search Reddit for its meaning (1st time I’ve done this). And I’m annoyed because I got the gist just not the wild intertextuality across platforms and references and man alive it’s a whole new world out there

The lawsuit, filed in federal district court, alleges the county has known for years that the landfill leaches PFAS into drinking water. Full story: www.northcarolinahealthnews.org/2026/06/27/w...

All day long people talk shit about raisins on here because they don’t understand the deliciousness or utility of less wet grapes

The mysterious unit #caturday

Oh no! There are weeds in my yard #flowerreport

Our yard is a cat(ch)-all for sundry and diverse felines. Half are neighbors’ and the other half are from the wind. I give em space and keep the water clean. Heat index broke 105 yesterday, and this fellow laid up in the shade of one of our cars all day. Never seen him before. #caturday

Huge win for Marion County! Couldn’t be happier to see this project fail. Now, hold each of those cowards on county council accountable. wpde.com/news/local/p...

I’ve wandered back to Dum Dum Girls, and they were great. Jail La La is such a smooth song. A celebration of earning trouble only to hit repeat on Someone tell my baby Or else he won’t know I need saving

Little brown skink on a little park road we’re stuck we’re stuck

#caturday. Augie’s been monitoring the backyard neighborhood cat situation. Two new striped guys from who knows where.

I have lived 28.2% of my wild and precious life in Darlington, South Carolina, home of the Cook Out Southern 500 at “the track too tough to tame”

Scott Pelley went to Coronado High School in Lubbock, TX. He also earned his BA from Texas Tech. Next time someone starts writing off whole swaths of the country, think of Pelley and the hundreds of thousands of kids right now finding their way to authenticity, joy, and integrity in red states.

Bari Weiss runs a propaganda shop the right way

Very level-headed over there in the MBPD. Very sane stuff. www.wmbfnews.com/2026/06/02/f...

I’m good with it, but it’s not like Florida shows much regard for human life, either.

Nbd just a dinosaur smashing its head for snacks

Love Talarico’s “since Paxton’s first indictment” comment. But why is veganism bad? I’m not vegan, but I’m not going to eat a block of cheese to prove my non-vegan ways. *I will, however, eat a block of cheese just because*

Behold the grain of this wooden cat #caturday

my last words will probably be “who’s a good boy?!” right before being shot by one of those robot dogs

Ai fills the cracks with cotton candy. The cracks are interesting, tho. And I disagree about using ai for grammar and those so-called small tasks. Proofing is as human as generative work. Shortcuts are dead ends. These half measure opeds miss the mark on ai and writing.

Let he who hasn’t inadvertently brought home gold from work cast the first bar

Hey now. That’s a lotta first day early voters.

A&W cheese curds. This is the one true answer.

No. But I do like the color for pocketknife scales or a pen.

#caturday with feral prints on the grill shelf

Love painted bee boxes🥰

Correct

The commencement speaker at my undergrad was a retired mid-level executive at Bic. Dude was awesome. Told us to chase our dreams.

Has anyone sat down with Jamir Nazir and asked him what the hell happened here? I feel like there’s an opportunity to have a real conversation about productivity, labor, and human authenticity and striving to communicate. 1/?

In the early 90s, K of P Mall was a shining plastic city on the hill way the hell up 202😂

Wassily Kandinsky (1927)

When your cat looks in another direction for a minute and you're puzzled about what has their attention, that's when it's addressing the audience. If you read Garfield you'd understand that's the beat where it's thinking about something really funny, at your expense, making you look like an idiot

Neil Gorsuch’s mom was a corrupt EPA boss during the Reagan administration. Curious!

#SOUTHCAROLINA! It's too late to register to vote in person for the primaries, but you can still register online or by email/fax (5/10), or by snail mail(5/11). Check your registration now and download your sample ballot at scvotes.gov Barring any nonsense, early voting starts May 26th, be ready!

Love seeing @CC_Sabathia throw off this mound again

ZERO tolerance. The process is the process.

The fact that the CEO of Rockstar Games does not play video games is surprising. Not even a casual gamer? Strange. I wonder how many CEOs of entertainment companies don't engage with the company's product. Or even the artform at all.
