Girls only want one thing and it's to conduct a go/no-go poll of flight controllers before deciding to launch the next phase of the mission.

My thinking on this case is that Clarence Thomas should have been removed from office immediately when we found out his wife had plotted to overthrow our constitutional republic

STRAY CAT CANDIDATE MEDIA!

I forgot how much I wanted to slap the Teen Wolf people in the face with a fish while shouting HUMAN BODIES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY AT ALL DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THE SKELETON AND MUSCLES WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE TO HAVE THE RUN THAT WAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I forgot that Teen Wolf slipped in why a werewolf victim either turns or dies: allergic reaction. (Specifically, Lydia -- whom I know isn't normal -- keeps going into shock during treatment.)

"His user-name is 'Allison'? His password is *also* 'Allison'?" "Do you still want him in your pack?"

Stray Cat Candidate just walked into the yard and O SO CASUALLY happened to stop by the food, then crawl onto the lawn to eat it. *Super* casual. He will remain a candidate until such time as he interviews with at least one of us.

Genuine question for my Irish friends: is there a more hated historical figure than Oliver Cromwell?

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed.

I read an AP news story that made me sick, so I was looking for a #KindleBookGiveaway and hey, A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience (The Unexpected Adventures of Lady and Lord Riven Book 1) by @stephanieburgis.bsky.social seemed good. Although I have it, I haven't read it yet...

This person does not deserve free books, due to sexist condescension to @swilua.bsky.social, who is actually a really great person. Unlike this jerk.

I see that Paul McCartney is going to be performing for Apple. I was once told that one of SJ's weakest product announcement was because an expected appearance by McCartney fell through at the last moment. I presume that would have involve the Beatles' catalog being on iTunes. No, not iPod Socks.

@apxbrown.bsky.social please do not repost multiple skeets in a thread. It disrupts the thread, and comes out in a very annoying manner. I unfortunately cannot undo your reskeet.

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of The Broken Room by @peterclines.com, which I *have* and *have read* and *then completely forgot* so I should reread it. There's sequels now!

So let me talk about why this story has stuck with me, for 42 years: it taught me that the actual quality of something doesn't depend on the medium / material. The arts in this story are beautiful, enough to move someone to tears. But... that's just the *medium*.

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE FINALLY IDENTIFIED A STORY I'VE BEEN ASKING ABOUT FOR DECADES! Grater's World, by Gerald W. Page. Now I want to get a copy of the May 1983 issue of Analog! Or just that excerpt. Does anyone know the author?

A friend has his own slack, and I've been on it for years, and he recently added some llm bots to it, and the WOULD NOT SHUT UP AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO IGNORE THEM and he said "oh no you just tell them to ignore you like this ...." and THEY STILL WOULDN'T IGNORE ME so I signed off.

I am getting *super* annoyed with stupid people today.

Heads up: There Is No Antimemetics Division by @qntmbaby.bsky.social is on US ebook sale for $2. I know *nothing* about it, except @cstross.bsky.social said some good things about the author. Modern Magic (Modern Magic Book 1) by Beth Williams is on US Kindle sale for $1.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Happy world backup day! You should take this day to reflect on what backup plans you have for your computer data. There are many options, but you should apply the 3-2-1 rule: • Three copies of your data (including the "live" copy), on • Two different media, with • One offsite. #WorldBackupDay

So this is weird: somehow, my brain has associated "The Wonderful Soupstone" with @johnrogers.bsky.social. I have absolutely no idea why.

So this asshole doesn't deserve free books.

This handsome man needs a temporary residence! The only real risk is that if you spend a year with a Maine Coon, you may want one when you're done.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

As pointed out by @princejvstin.com, Made Things by @aptshadow.bsky.social is on US ebook sale for $2, so I got some for random giveaway. I am currently fighting with amazon about my accidental purchase of it for *me*.

SCC IS EATING FOOD RIGHT NOW

"Was that ok? I mean, that was a howl, right?" "Yeah, technically." "Well, what did it sound like to you?" "Like a cat being chocked to death, Scott."

There is a chaffinch outside and Vicky is desperate to prove she could totally catch it if I'd just let her outside really honestly.

The CGI mountain lion in Teen Wolf S1E5 was clearly designed by someone who had never seen a large cat, and assumed they were just large house cats.

I saw Pheasant Bob and a bunch of rooks out on the lawn, some of the rooks looking like they were eating the cat food, and I had *just* gotten a delivery of suet balls, so I went outside and threw 8 or 9 of them onto the lawn. (PB was on the lawn, so I didn't approach -- I just tossed them far.)

If you are freaking out and need help doing this, TELL BLUESKY. One of us will help you! DO IT!

Really gotta emphasize here that anyone that understands the consequences of touching these desalination plants are all on board with “imprison any American that does so when this is over”. There is a reason for that.

Ok I *just* realized that "EHCR" and "ECHR" are not the same thing. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT.

GRR A DOG THIEF CAME TO EAT STRAY CAT CANDIDATE'S FOOD! AND THE DOG IS RUDE AND RAN AWAY FROM ME! I've seen the dog before. Small & brown, although much fluffier right now than previously. Has a tag. Has never approached me.

If you reskeet individual skeets in a thread, they do not show up as a thread to the people who see them. They get interspersed with any other skeets that happen while you are slowly clicking the reskeet button and then clicking reskeet rather than quote skeet.
