There is a toddler, an actual 2 year old, at storytime today in 1” kitty heels. She keeps falling and her guardian just keeps chiding her to “be careful.”

Everything is terrible so painted a shrimp

We're a month away from the release! Carrot is doing his part to help.

(Despite the weapons and heavy gear, they were amateurs.) (Amateurs are terrifying.)

We were talking about GrayCris here, whose company motto seemed to be “profit by killing everybody and taking their stuff.”

The Senate has voted unanimously for the Democratic proposal to reopen DHS and fully fund TSA without giving a single dollar to ICE.

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

I am a painter of landscapes but will often include a cat. I sketched The Great Catsby last week, the shop cat at the Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino CA.

You gotta be vigilant

Tor amazing Alien Cat by @kikidoodle.bsky.social arrived today and has found its way on to my office wall!

Who needs fuckin Harry Potter when you can have a much more memorable experience playing The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, all for the low price of $5.99?

In photography you really just wanna make sure that the cat is properly exposed. Photo from my collection no info/date.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

We're going to shut down human civilization, and sacrifice it to our manic, utopian dream of building "god".

The blossoms this year are spectacular

An epochal change has almost silently swept over the American workplace. This trend affects workers and customers alike and can, in part, help explain a range of factors that have made American life increasingly chaotic.

You succeed in your career and meet your role model. "I really enjoyed chatting with you" you say. "Huh?" they're confused. "You were probably talking to Claude." you bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn

It's time for @trimet.org to perhaps look within at: 1. No-bid contracts with out-of-state leeches like Allied Universal out in PENNSYLVANIA. 2. Old money last names in middle management. Why do you have two Wheelers and a Schnitzer in the six figures? 3. NOT SCREWING OVER TRANSIT DEPENDENT RIDERS.

"I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's Emperor... This is the 27th of Last Seed; the Year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the 3rd Era, and the final hours of my life." --Today is the 20th anniversary of the initial release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!

A nod to @bcmerchant.bsky.social in my slides for civil procedure guest lecture about "AI and the law" where I pitch that the Luddites were advocates in the finest of traditions.

"That... is not the man I married," she screamed as she strode into the copse behind her home. After roughly tossing a few shovelfuls of dirt behind her, she added firmly, "And I can prove it!" #microfiction #microfictionchallenge250 #microhorror

It's heartbreaking that Camelworks won't be there physically with us when it releases. It would be sweet if he could join us in spirit. c.org/NBVtxmxbSg

It’s Pi Day, which I hope the Lab Ray RNG gods know is a good day to zap TruffleDuffle chocolate.

Kima is pretty sure she can hear birds at the back door, but that would involve getting … up.

Sad to hear Michael Hague has died! 🕯️ His edition of Wind in the Willows was my definitive childhood version, and I pored over his large pictures for hours, especially the trees, Badger’s House and Toad Hall. His Piper at the Gates of Dawn is exquisite 💛

I don’t paint with oils but I respect obsessive commitment to debunking a widely accepted historical “fact” youtu.be/lrMbeJW1V1A

Last fall I was gifted some bulbs, and I was TOLD that they were dahlia, but as they are sprouting, those green bits sure don't look like dahlia. They didn't look like lily bulbs, but they sure look like lily greens. What has dahlia looking bulbs but sprouts lily looking greens? Asking for me.

The omnivores aren't alright, y'all.

Happy Harriet Tubman Day! Today we honor the legendary abolitionist's legacy. While officially observed on March 10 in NY (especially Auburn, where she is buried), calls are growing to make this a federal holiday.

if gender is so innate why does it need deputized citizens to meticulously enforce it?

We can’t all be morning people

This month I have a team race *and* an orienteering event on the same day. The race is just a 5K, and I can request a late starting slot for the orienteering event, and the start lines are only about an hour drive apart; but still, that's going to be a very busy day.
