With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Is there anything important in the Windows 11 25H2 update? Or is it all AI bullshit and I can keep hitting that ignore button?

It’s here! @pycon.us website is live 🎉 Theme: Synthwave, bright, bold, and powered by human creativity. Not prompts. CFP is open now. Time to plan your talk and your reason to visit California. 👉 us.pycon.org/2026/ #PyConUS #Python #PyCon

So excited!! 🎉🐍

In addition to money donations to food banks & food aid for people, please also consider donating money or food & litter to pet food pantries. Many people who rely on SNAP to feed themselves will now need to redirect $ to buy groceries that they would have spent on pet food before.

It helps if you imagine auto-correct as a tiny elf in your phone who's trying so hard to be helpful but is, in fact, quite drunk.

Happy New Year from Dorothy Parker (and me).
