"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Void Puppy actually wrestled with Himbo Cat today, which was a surprise. The cat used to play with him like that when he was new and small, but mostly stopped once the puppy got bigger than him. The puppy, for his part, has been very good about respecting the cats' boundaries.

Happy Holidays to all who celebrate around this time of year.

happy holidays, all!

I'm not sure how bad this storm will be where I am, specifically. We had high winds, but they were weirdly warm- warm air doesn't drop its moisture. (I assume the mountains are going to get drenched.) The wind just stopped, and the crows are absolutely sounding off about it. It's very noticeable.

If you're killing random Jews at a festival in a Australia in the name of anti-zionism, that *is* an attack on Jewish people as a group, because you've decided that Jews and Zionism are synonymous and killing the one is a blow against the other.

Toilet rats have been a thing in places with older sewer infrastructure since I was little, and probably before I was born. I do like the advice to close the lid. Like, just pretend it's not there! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Whelp, it happened again. I don't know who needs to read this, other than maybe, like, *a lot* of people, apparently, but every woman you see in a city with a large Naval presence with short hair and no makeup is not, in fact, in the military.

Some things overwinter here and effectively act as perennials even though they're grown as annuals elsewhere. The happy plant list for this winter includes curry tomatoes, my beloved black scorpion tongue peppers (Best peppers! Fruity! Spicy!), and a gigantic Italian eggplant.

Granted that I pay attention to the news, so I wouldn't have been in the part of the audience being made aware of stuff for the first time, but I wouldn't have even known about the 60 Minutes CECOT segment if Bari Weiss hadn't tried to suppress it. I watched this copy: archive.org/details/60mi...

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

The government is accepting public comment on 2 proposed rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans. These comments will be supportive of legal challenges aimed at blocking the new rules. Submit a public comment on the regime's new attacks on trans youth.

Also, have this random house from Normal Heights. They wrapped the palm trees in their front yard with alternating red-and-white light strands, making them look like big candy canes.

In non-political news (or maybe still in political news, since he's an APBT and some people have big feelings about that), Void Puppy is now six weeks post-surgery, and is allowed a little more freedom to start being a dog again.

The thing about Vance's blatant White Power bullshit is that... Well, the people who argued that people being against X, Y, and Z thing wasn't actually about the blistering hatred for the Other deep in their hearts?

These guys are not subtle about their political project so maybe it's time to take that seriously

People who know stuff about plants! I have cat grass. My current cat grass mower is really good at the mow part, but not so much with the grass maintenance. Should I trim the grass to an even level, or just let it grow?

For anyone interested:

mr stephen miller sir, have you considered taking up boxing

A Cliffs Notes for the Jake Paul situation since I'm seeing people confused. Jake Paul and his brother were 'prank streamers'. Yes exactly. They got famous for doing that and got rich. Jakes fame got to his head and somewhere along the way he started believing he could fight pro boxers.

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it. We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.

... Honestly, I'm still pretty pissed about that one debt collector that called my workplace back in the Great Recession, as, seemingly, someone with my same name save for the middle initial had gone into foreclosure.

I'm kind of curious as to what's going on in the real estate market, as I'm getting more calls and texts about my home and addresses that people with my same name have been linked to by Lexis Nexus.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Republicans voting against the felony national trans youth healthcare ban were Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Gabe Evans (CO), Michael Lawler (NY), Mike Kennedy (UT). Dems voting FOR the felony ban were Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC). 3 NVs on both sides.

Earlier tonight: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill effectively banning gender-affirming health care for youth passed in the House. This is a serious attack on parents' ability to make *private* medical decisions for their families. www.advocate.com/politics/mtg...

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

These ears are like some sort of SFW version of Pom Poko.

Void Puppy had an absolutely massive, massive growth spurt last week, and I think he's about to have another. He's been sleeping all day. His ears were still proportional to his head this morning, but they aren't really anymore.

fucking asshole

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

I will never vote for Jewish Space Laser lady, but I will cheer her on in her quest to take down Johnson on her way out.

Don’t go to the US. Don’t go for furry cons, don’t go for vacation, don’t even go if you’re an expat with citizenship. It is an authoritarian state and it will do everything in its power to harm you.

Water your tree.

jesus christ

Void Puppy was very sleepy yesterday, which usually means he's going to have a growth spurt. Today, it's clear that he has, specifically in his ears. They're now disproportionately large giant Dumbo ears. He's still tired, so maybe the rest of his body will catch up over the next few days.

WASHINGTON AND OREGON CARTOONISTS: Seattle's bus service is commissioning 6 artists for public art pieces, 2 each, of local stories, 16-32 pages, over 2026, for $54k per artist, to be freely distributed over their ridership. details here: www.4culture.org/grants/movin...

Searching for a new litterbox and dying laughing at this cat who looks like a toilet astronaut.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Last re-skeet: Void Puppy won't be neutered until two (if at all- it limits my ability to show him, and, wall incident aside, he's a well-structured, biddable dog), and he's hitting puberty, so his balls are fully dropping. He's a black dog with white skin. He doesn't have much fur there.

Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth
