SCAM ALERT – IMPORTANT The cat has already been fed.

Just imagine - you’re a cat, with presumably a house, but you ignore that house and come instead to *my* house, and you walk in like you own the place, and come and go as you please and do whatever you like whenever you like. Just imagine how smug you’d be. Pretty smug? Not as smug as this bastard.

ONCE AGAIN

“I want to oppose the Empire and its policy of building planet-destroying Death Stars, but an Ewok once chittered at me weird.”

I genuinely think this is an universal thing literally nobody loves their country as much as a person who heard an American express a mildly negative opinion about it

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Got meself a wee project which took up my whole evening, I think people call this kind of thing a "timeline cleanse"?

Don't insult the Furry community like this, yahoo.

Charlie has figured out how to make the printer print test pages and now it’s all he wants to do.

Ah, first bottle collection day after Christmas aka "Make wild assumptions about the parties your neighbourhood had over the holidays while on your morning walk with the dog". Special commendation to the house that had two bottles of prosecco and nothing else in their tub.

Some asteroids were mined for minerals, methane or water, some served as truck stops for traffic between the outer and inner planets. Some of those became destinations in their own right, like asteroid 52692. Covered in hydroponic tuber farms, it was the home of the famous Scalzi Space Potato.

PEOPLE. PEOPLE. I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THIS IF THEY DIDN'T NEED HELP MOVING THE CAR. THEY LIVE NEXT DOOR TO ME.

If you see one, the most important thing to say is “WHAT’S YOUR NAME” because otherwise the person is gone for good, maybe. I witnessed one in an alley as the sole pursuit car, I was the only witness, I froze for a second and didn’t shout it in time, and the guy is just… gone now. I’ll never know.

Let's all stop talking about that minorly famous but shitty comic strip artist and instead read this lovely compilation of tributes to Alan Rickman on the tenth anniversary of his passing: www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

Meanwhile, in Iran. One of the biggest reasons for the uprising in Iran right now, as far as I can tell: water. Only ~8% of the nation's water goes to people for drinking, bathing, etc. And even that's getting cut off.

The interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS has been stealing the spotlight lately. But it’s not the only comet capable of putting on a show!  Here you see C/2024 G3 (ATLAS), above Paranal early last year. https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2505d/  📷 Y. Beletsky (LCO)/ESO #flashback 🔭

Is "kaddu" the worst-named fruit or veg in Hindi? It sounds bleak and tasteless.

Mumbai folk are going to be VERY quiet on this one.

You can find Napoleon the cat's full story, from first appearance to becoming a permanent member of the household, in the thread below.

Kinda gross how little mainstream news in the UK has reported on the sheer extent of the damage caused by Storm Goretti in #Cornwall last week. Local BBC and ITV news have been reporting but there's been little national from what I can see including traditional press. 1/2

Good luck to anyone starting the year with a new health regime. Here’s how mine always goes.

“Successful woman replaced by man with no track record in women’s game”

Today must be the first of April, because that just sounds made up.

And, that, there: "talking about how fucked we are changes nothing about how fucked we" that I took into the other parts of my life. I was tired of pointing out how fucked we are. It FEELS like action, but it's not. By end of 2025, there was nothing left to say, for me.

This thread is delightful! Make sure to read the alt-text

since everyone loves a good orange cat story, i have one from this weekend 🧵

That's a great door right there. And some lovely others in the replies too.

I was vicar of Felixstowe when Evergiven finally limped in about 6 months late Most of her cargo was sold for a pittance as it was ‘out of season’ OTOH the townspeople rallied round and gave all the crew a rucksack of goodies (beanies, socks, shampoo) as well as oodles of nuttie & a £25 Sim Card 💝

Me clinging to the sinking Titanic: “if I get on a lifeboat, the ship wins!”

Due to directives on balance, the BBC are reporting that yes she was shot dead at close range, but in many belief systems death is not an end but a new beginning, part of a neverending cycle of change.

What the actual hell, man. I think I am going to become anti-immigration - for *the safety of immigrants themselves*. This kind of daily poison is dangerous to health, nothing is worth this unless you’re actively in physical danger (refugees, asylum seekers)

‘abolish ICE’ is no longer even the moderate position, it’s the centrist position. Nuremberg them all

1. Yes, this is real footage from Poland's Wrocław Zoo 2. The deer, a male muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi, aka "barking deer"), is hopped up on testosterone because its mate is in heat 3. Muntjac males weigh up to ~40 lbs (18 kg). Maruśka, the rhino, weighs 1.7 tons www.thesun.co.uk/news/3786348...

timeline cleanse: i want to hear about the most useless kitchen items you have ever owned. let me kick things off with -the mushroom brush (as in, for brushing mushrooms) -the sausage guillotine someone gave me

I'm sorry to do this, but.....well....watch....or should I say....listen.

Timeline cleansing

This is very cool! (Two of my favourite things coming together — etymology and computer science!)
