My dreaming self spent an inordinate time as a giant gorilla/rhinoscerous hybrid explaining the cube/square rule to other giant mutated critters, like some kind of gritty, math-obsessed Animorphs extra.

Every stone is a healing stone if you throw it hard enough

I really have to emphasize that this is how generative ai/llms do *everything*

Instructions unclear

Seriously, what is the point of this?

I’m giving this as a gift to all the people in the last year who have said “I think [XYZ use] is bullshit, but some of the medical AI applications seem to be impressive…" where radiology is the most frequent example

So I've been doing lots of smoothies at home because I need more fiber and I have food texture issues. This morning I tried a new recipe and it tastes like nothing but a sip feels like someone threw a ball bearing in my stomach and I don't want to waste but please tell me I don't have to drink it

Gee I wonder what year Google IPO'd.

Cassie's tail is so ridiculous

I hope somewhere out there there's a YouTube channel where someone hosts sexy trampoline instruction videos and it's called "Hot Tramp". But I can never look, because the search results would be appalling.

Since it's come up, I really do think people have forgotten just how monumentally shitty it was when every square inch of public space smelled like a fucking ashtray

Baby boy’s back in the donut 😭

Man of the people

and for the vanity tax: he’s just a little baby

Please think of your friendly neighborhood digital rights organizations in these days. Pay attention to what they're doing, so often unnoticed, as Big Tech and govts chip away at your rights online. Send them a few bucks if you can. It's rough out there.

Mossa & Pleiti 5: GIANT WORM INVESTIGATES (new pet? I guess?)

Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to Lovesick starring Claire Danes, which is a different show than Lovesick, the Korean show currently on Netflix, Lovesick, the Mexican show coming to Netflix later this year, or Lovesick, the British comedy that was on Netflix and is no longer on Netflix

Days ago someone posted, “I took my first Waymo ride ever and it was going great until it almost hit a kid on a bike then did an illegal left turn immediately after.” @pbotinfo.bsky.social: absolutely no to Waymo. @councilorkanal.bsky.social @councilorepg.bsky.social @councilordanryan.bsky.social

From the person who literally wrote the book on it!

This blew the hair back from my face

Armor of Annwn, May 2026 😁

HAROLD. We talked about this

My manifesto:

Guess I'm not buying any more ustwo games. (Also I had missed that union busting thing mentioned in thr first reply or this would already be an given)

LBJ is the only correct answer. Dude was always in need of more ball room.

Do sleeping bees dream? Research into the brains of bees, whose anatomy and chemistry in many ways resembles our own, hints that they might. And what might a bumblebee drifting off in the embrace of an aster dream of? @brandonkeim.bsky.social has some ideas.

“LOOKS LIKE MEAT IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS”

If your cat is craving an obnoxious teenage kitten wrestling buddy, Laguna here is SUPER sweet, playful, and full of energy. He gets along with everyone (if they don’t mind being tackled) and loves to be carried like a baby. He will steal your lunch (but also your heart).

anyway I need to get back to work now, so here’s a dog on the verge of catching a snack (not pictured, but present) out of the air

The Morning Monty longs for sun.

goooood morning it is chilly and damp but we made the rounds and met a new dog friend named “Charlie” who gave us boops through the fence, so yes, of course: Lucy Loved That Walk

If anyone knows how (assuming it's possible) to turn off the Google AI translate, please let me know where to find it? I'd heard there was such a toggle, but I'm not seeing it (or maybe it's just not on the version that's linked from Bluesky).

I know it sounds like I’m making a joke here, but Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday, May 2nd. Comics can be such a MASSIVELY useful tool for learning reading comprehension if you let them, and as much as the internet would have you believe otherwise, it’s not all male power fantasy.

If only someone could have seen this coming. Like Hollywood comedy writers. Ten years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0b_...

oooh it’s PALEODRAMA 🍿🍿🍿

I salute Senator Lucas and other Virginia legislators for carrying out this important science

Wait, it might have been 5.15 an hour in 97.

Well timed but not well focused 🤣 This lovely mistle thrush lives in the oak copse next to a meadow. She was zipping around the other day and I got this pic of her in front of the horse chestnut. And it was a sunny day, so fits the alt theme too #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #ECK #WellTimed #WeatherWarriors

Annnnnd this goes well beyond what was written down in Project 2025!

A very special Squirrel of the Day for April 28, 2026: Baby squirrel cuddle puddle omg omg 🥰 #sqrlpix
