Today in Important Housecat Milestones, discovered Tabitha in the kitchen sink. She hasn’t shown interest in counters before this, but I guess this is all the more incentive to clear them off.

NO!!!

Roses are red, and love is a battle

The Justice Department tried to erase the history of Jan 6. We restored if. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

Old Sanrio: Hello Kitty is a lovely proper English schoolgirl from London. She is not a cat. Yes, we know, but she's not. She enjoys baking and has so many friends and New Sanrio: This piece of shit never leaves the house. He plays video games and eats garbage all day. Sound familiar, loser? IDIOT?

The buzz around Bluesky is it’s World Bee Day, so here’s some stories I’ve enjoyed about bees 🧵

I do not know how many brain cells learning about this man has cost me, but I fear it included the ones that would have made those calculations possible.

This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat picture from your phone.

Voter #107 at 6:30 pm. I do not think this is shaping up to be a high turnout election. www.jonathantannen.com/turnout_trac...

Not now, Cthulhu.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Best film adaptation of The Odyssey, wrong answers only.

Tabitha is proving herself a visionary in the field of immersive video gaming, as she decided to attack my hand at the exact same time a rock creature attacked my character in Stardew Valley. (If you've ever wondered how much damage a minor cat scratch does, it's 3 points.)

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

Can someone in @moderation.bsky.app please clarify this for me? I have concerns about the negative impact this may have on community on the site.

Three surprising benefits of HPV vaccines we didn’t anticipate when they were approved: 1. They protect against FIVE types of cancer 2. They are creating herd immunity 3. They last a long time. “We have people who are 20, 30, 40 years old who are seeing protection from the HPV vaccine.”

TIL the team behind It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, It’s Superman almost wrote a Star Wars musical, which sounds...cursed.

You know your cat is from Philly when she ignores the remnants of a seafood boil and makes a beeline for your husband's cheesesteak.

How are AI images and videos changing the world we live in? How can we even still tell what is real and what is not? In an effort to find out, I visited Hany Farid, „sort of the dean of digital forensics“, for a couple of days in Berkeley. It was eye-opening. My story in @science.org 🧪

I know The Idol Season 2 is a terrible idea, and yet...

I present to you the finest mug I will likely ever own. (Procured from Floofsupply on Etsy.)

Today is Sir Terry Pratchett's birthday. By far one of the best authors of my generation. “A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.” So, may his name echo eternally through the clacks. GNUTerryPratchett

It’s Independent Bookstore Day today! Please visit your favorite indie store and enjoy the book-filled, book-loving vibes. But if you can’t do that, consider getting something you’ve wanted to read at Bookshop.org. They support indie shops. Everyone wins! It’s cool when that can happen.

I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via @archive.org I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection. blog.archive.org/2026/04/20/u...

Ancient Bluesky curse/blessing.

I wish I could say I was surprised by this.

It's National Library Week. ❤️ That's it, that's the post.

Roses are red and ready for pluckin'

There may be no clearer sign I have aged out of the demographic most fashion and beauty brands target than all these promotions hyping items for "festival season."

Husband and I increasingly suspect we have not taken in a cat, but a small mimic whose preferred form is tote bags.

Today I am thinking about where we would be if Rabbi Regina Jonas and those who she served had not been murdered. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_...

American politics could definitely do with more (intentionally) silly political parties.

Happy National Cat Day! Tabitha is celebrating by getting stoned out of her tiny kitten mind.

dick move by NASA to make the astronauts come back after they went through so much effort to get away from us

We invite you to treat yourself to the healing power of watching a rescued baby goat boinging around.

‘Cause if there’s a readership fantasy and sci-fi historically haven’t catered to, it’s men!

Today in Important Housecat Milestones, husband spent two hours building a cat tree for Tabitha that she has proceeded to almost completely ignore.

He is risen

He took the wheel

Our little obligate carnivore found an ossified curly fry yesterday. We also could not persuade her to drop it.
