I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

The fancy breeds don't purr any nicer or love any deeper

It's true! For a full 50 years cars could not be steered. You just had to hope the car wanted to go where you wanted to go

Approximately 30% of all job postings are fake, with millions of ghost jobs making a tough hiring process even worse.

I utterly detest logistics. On the one hand, they're fun. On the other, it's incredibly stressful to sort out the when, how, and all the knock-on effects. Especially for surgery. And it can't get done with soon enough!

It's funny when you realize you don't know any songs referencing a given name. Also there are a disproportionate number of songs referencing traditionally female to male names (that I am aware of off the top of my head)

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?

I wish news agencies would stop reporting on lottery jackpots. Really, how is that even newsworthy when most people can find out how big without even pulling into the nearest gas station? Other impacts of reporting on it aside, it's just not useful reporting!

It's an important question!

Thrilled to announce I'm teaming up with Nvidia to create a basket big enough to fit all of humanity's eggs in it

From the team that brought you the "Too Big To Fail" financial institutions, it's the "Too Brilliant To Be Held Accountable" men 🤢

I had the strangest dream about something that is not physically possible. Or, if it happened, would mean something had gone very, very, maybe supernaturally wrong. I do not know what my brain was trying to tell me

“Onkel Nick, warum ist Dein Knie so weit oben?”😉👋🏼

How low can it go?

Oh to be the person who got to pose wearing this for the photos . . .

Macadamia and Horseradish would be excellent names for a pair of twins

I want to pet my cats . . .

Anyway. Here’s an exclusive photo of America’s Next Top Model.

Me, running away from my problems

You know when cats

🎶 old mcdonald replaced his farm with an energy intensive data center, a i a i o 🎶

This is Fendi. He is seen here demonstrating the internationally acknowledged sign language for politely requesting uppies. 13/10 would pick him up immediately (TT: isthat_jojo)

It's me. I'm the plants and animals.

If I say "damn it's 89 degrees in Nov 😔" and you say "I'll take it over the cold" I'm gonna squirt you with a squirt gun

How . . . competent

Everyone's afraid of something.

The game isn't even fun if there's no challenge, right? You have to balance the difficulty. And if you're too good at it, yeah, that's when you unlock challenge mode . . .

Sometimes I want something, but I don't even know what I want. What is this restlessness?

Sometimes I see a picture of a cat and want to like it, only to discover that I already did. Then I get angry.

My grandpa always said “If enough spiders united, they could ensnare a dragon.” I hear you grandpa. As soon as the powerful understand, things might get better, but please stop catching spiders and putting them in my room.

The dolphins are getting Alzheimer’s from algae blooms caused by warming waters and toxic runoff and you could see the bloodstains in Sudan from space. The cobalt is mined by children and the music is made by robots and the grownups are wondering where the fireflies went.

My painting LAKE NOKOMIS

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm.

Saw someone calling generated art "art with soul." From an account identifying the poster as an artist. Maybe conservatives are onto something with their whining that nobody wants to work (on art) anymore? Anyway, I have a bird to keep drawing. It's a judgmental one.

Oh no! The sudden noises outside weren't for nothing. The FedEx truck fell into the ditch. On a totally normal, dry day with no water, snow or ice on the ground. I drive up that hill every day and I don't get it. How did they do that?

he wears his heart on his head 🪶

NO. Also NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And ******* IDIOTS NO WHY

Truer words were never spoken

*My cats

I am a responsible adult. I know it is past time to do my weekend laundry. I am not in dire straits, but it is past time. But I do not want to do my weekend laundry. I only hope I can get the laundry done tomorrow.

I don't have any interest in using AI products, but I have to say, the claim that the companies responsible lose money every time you use one of their products makes me tempted . . .

Schrödinger should never have been allowed to have a cat

Aber…aber…dann mach doch schönes Wetter bitte! 🥺

“Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.” ~ Marcus Aurelius November's Harmony 🎨 T.C. Steele (1893)

But if you eat more than two bananas in a day, the potassiums cancel each other out and you can gain superpowers.

It's funny, I have a shelved half-plotted adaptation and Ozma was a major draw in starting that in the first place. Why all the overlooking of Ozma? (I know why.)

Overfunctioning to the point of exhaustion is a very effective way to guarantee we won't be able to protect ourselves when we need to. Trauma Brain's insistence that overfunctioning somehow keeps us "safe" is a lie. It never did keep us safe-- not really.

I can‘t believe that we‘re willingly handing over crucial parts of our workforce, data management and even education to a criminal version of Clippy
