The prevalence of AI SEO slop is pushing me back to use bookmarks. Wonder if we'll collectively revert to webrings like the Altavista/pre-Google era of the Internet.

"I wonder if I chose a good day to take off at work", he said, before checking tech news.

To this day, I think that my high school Latin literature book messed up by including Apuleius' passage where Lucius gets an erection as he's turned into a donkey (bemoaning that he couldn't have sex with Photis) in pre-translated Italian. It would have motivated us teens to read the original!

No-context quoting a friend: "I think that her virginity might have been overstated".

I know things are really bad for everyone right now, but I wanted to spread a message of hope: there's a woman named Swasthi (whom I'm convinced is an angel) with a site full of the best Indian recipes I've ever made. Every one I've tried has been life changing. www.indianhealthyrecipes.com

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Incredible furry trolling from Encyclopedia Britannica

I thought I had seen the worst of it with ketchup on pasta.

The SQL queries I'm writing make me want to sing. (Madonna, Hung Up)

Not quite. The quote in full is "Category 1 duties were not primarily aimed at pornographic content or the protection of children (which were dealt with by other parts of the Act)" Beware, you're more likely to believe misinformation if it aligns with your priors.

Wait, there's a Bowser vore videogame!?

FURRYMUCK USERS: The memorial service for Tugrik on FurryMuck will be this coming Friday (August 8, 2025) at 9 pm CST (10 EST, 8 MST, 7 PST). Instructions for how to attend are on the Park bulletin board. Please pass the word to all who may be interested.

The fandom is a sadder place without Tugrik.

I don't know if this is regular service or if they dusted off old trains due to the increased traffic for Pride, but this is amazingly comfortable.

Aside from the (likely AI-mediated) misfire, this reminds me of what queer BDSM chats used to do this decades ago. If you even joked about being a minor, they'd have to suspend you to protect themselves and their users. Surreal.

Be angry at this even if what you create/buy/play/read/etc is SFW, because the ultimate goal is to ban all queer content of any sort, as well as any speech the right-wing puritans disagree with.

Earlier I was in bed and I was checking out a message from a friend on my phone. It got incredibly hot and discharged so rapidly that I didn't even realize that it had swollen up. Anyway, replacement battery tomorrow.

I think that Animalz had the right idea, organizing events at the nude beach instead.

Copilot installed itself through Windows update (ironic, considering how much MS does not want to give up Office for free). That and I'm getting ads on the lock screen... on Windows PRO. That's it. If I have to spend time tweaking my system, I might as well go some flavor of Linux.

happy birthday to Deirdre Skye, leader of Gaia's Stepdaughters, canonically born today, May 28, 2025.

Go go go fire evacuation on first day of the con!

Sands of time

For whoever might find it relevant, Nando's extra hot is slightly below a hotel breakfast in India.

Making sure that I handle everything pending at work before I head off to CfZ. The pending approvals icon somehow managed to get to a "-1" count.

This was a good Eurovision. Very few entries that made me go, "absolutely not", more that made me think I'd be ok if it won.

I think that Finns made German sound more interesting

Wait, you can get Prince Albert earrings!?

Unfair, a Queen x Abba crossover is basically genetically engineered to win. (Jokes aside, fairly good)

...this is war.

Wait... the hero of Kvatch is Norwegian!?

(Fixed link) The petition for banning conversion therapy in the EU closes tomorrow and is close to reaching the threshold. If you live in the EU, please sign. If you do not, please repost. This can make a big difference for the lives of people you know. eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

EVERYONE, this is, I believe, gonna make history. PLEASE support us!! Our Kickstarter is officially pre-launched: we've been invited to perform on Spain's Got Talent in Madrid, and we need the furry community to come together and get us there!! #operafurry #fursuit #furrymusician #furrycommunity

Friend, tasting a cocktail: "It's like an Old Fashioned!" Their partner: "...it's a Negroni."

At this point it would be straight up better if it didn't have the summary.

I'm enjoying this cute little indy game about being a wolf running through the grass and flowers. It came out today. store.steampowered.com/app/3421300/...

Blue shell ma belle

Low altitude vortexes visible while landing on my latest fight. It was cool to be able to see the airflow on the wing!

Wrapped up a project I’ve been working for 3 months last night. It’s a badge that runs a fluid simulation, then every 20 seconds gravity turns off and the fluid slowly reveals your name. I’m so incredibly happy with how it turned out!

Lawmakers really don't understand how to *not* start a howl.
