Was told by a vet that you can 'probably' perform CPR on a snake, and all I could think was...

The abolishment of kerning is next - it "adjusts" between letters, depending on such things as "optical density", and is a clear contraction of White Space.

The only thing Linktree has done wrong with this is that Terms of Service Panic Season is a holiday traditionally celebrated in late January/early February, and I refuse to cater to this aggressive expansion of the annual observance, dammit

I will never not think about the origins of the word thagomizer.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

If you or anybody else hasn't read it i won't spoil it but the history of that giant Command System on Schar's World sets a perfect tone for the conflict and foreshadows much of the consequences of the war For a book shrugged at as Banks' clumsy first Culture book, it's actually wonderful

Get a load of this. 😆

I will never not repost this (Sound on for maximum effect)

Hi John! I do stickers and cards from my small art — mostly small beasties, often wearing hats. I'm on Etsy, but I have more stuff on my own site so I'll post that link: www.metasilk.com/shop/ Thank you! (P.S. if anyone prefers Etsy for any reason, let me know and I'll post that link!)

Several Republican members of Congress have said that they are retiring to spend more time with other people's children.

My favorite personal movie take is that the Aliens forklift is easily the greatest Chekhov's gun in all of film.

This moose is somewhat concerned(1) about today's "filler" cartoon from Doc Nickel (the-whiteboard.com). 3:O(> (1) I might go as far as "Viewing With Alarm".

It's #DoctorWhoDay. 62 years ago, Sydney Newman and Verity Lambert created a children's television program which made me a happier little boy. It taught me that no matter what the circumstances, you always have a duty to do the right thing. Thank you, Doctor, for making my universe a better place.

The Viking culture was, in fact, an ancient form of the cat distribution system.

Back in uni days a friend & I compared notes on the most unlikely combinations we were faced with on the conveyor belt coming through the checkout. She won with the customer buying KY jelly & a pineapple. Still makes my eyes water at the thought😬

So it turns out a person who spent a year dealing with various assholes in business suits in order to get a job can deal quite well with the final boss of assholes in business suits, lol.

People in the intelligence community call Witkoff Dim Philby - both for his level of intelligence and because he’s working for the Russians.

OMG! I just got off the plane in Asheville and RFK Jr. Was boarding and someone passed by him and said “quack”

I did a bit of research on some massive corporations and made a list assigning each of them a few evil corporations from science fiction, yay! It's like an award, except the award is shame. 🙂 Anyway, check it out. And subscribe if you like. It helps immensely. 🧡 theangrynoodle.com/6-evil-compa...

this is not a great photo but he had somehow rigged up his actual office window so that a big king kong head was peering in from the outside

Link's perma ban is wrong and this should be fixed.

Okay, I'll pitch: Bond died 3 years ago. So he wakes up in Dr. Phibes' regeneration tank under MI6 Towers to find it dusty and shuttered. Then goes outside and sees flags everywhere, and Big Brother Farage gurning down from every building— The fash are back, and Mr Bond isn't going to stand for it.

Don't mind me, I'll be over in the corner turning into a little pile of dust.

40 bucks in a week, even with pretty good sales, is simply untenable. Never mind getting internet: I have had to spend my insurance money on living expenses and last month's bills are due. Weekends are traditionally my best moment to catch up, but so far we're far from home. DAY GOAL: 0/1000

YOU SEE THIS CLEARING WE’RE SITTING IN? SOMEONE CLEARED THIS LAND FOR AGRICULTURE A WHILE AGO. ITS ONGOING USE FOR FOOD PRODUCTION EACH YEAR HAS A CARBON COST, BECAUSE IF IT WASN’T PRODUCING FOOD, IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THOSE TREES OVER THERE, WHICH STORE MORE CARBON. THE FOREGONE SEQUESTRATION CAN BE

Soft times make weak men. Weak men make hard times. Hard times make hard men. I am a hard man. I am manly, and hard, and powerful. Also, a man threw a sandwich at me and I smelled an onion and I want the full force of the law to be brought upon this person because of the sandwich he hit me with

I had so many of mine set to "hide" when it should be "off."

An Antarctica story. Once upon a time in Club 90 South, an inebriated apprentice from Wyoming revealed a family fact. One that, at other times, might be an amusing "degrees of separation" bon mot. However the key to wit and humor is not just timing, but reading the room. He did not.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

at point blank range the right subway sandwich could give a guy high blood pressure!
