Tomorrow marks four years on the receiving end of this puppy attitude.

The UN should not be headquartered in a country that won't abide by international law www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

has never tasted cheese but is demanding some anyways

Cora refuses to try and understand the phrase, “you’ve had enough cheese today.”

I’m not fussed about the title outside my professional life, but this comment slaps 👏👏👏

It’s 2025. Isn’t it about time the makers of granola bars learned how a proper box should work?

Having a very strong memory this morning of being in elementary school and graduating to being allowed to use pen. Such a small thing but felt like a huge moment.

When it’s too hot out to puppy properly.

I don’t want “CoPilot” in Microsoft Word I just want to use multiple languages in one document and make comments on footnotes

Where are my knitters at? I am VERY excited. Did you know you can make your rough and scratchy wooden needles smooth again with just a rub of wax paper??? My mind is blown and I can now finish this sweater without so much anger.

Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff. When you think about planting native plants in the area you control, what *prevents* you from taking that action? These could be emotional, financial, practical, anything. RTs appreciated here.

My new favourite census transcription error: “Mother tongue: Garlic.” Brilliant.

Anxiety is riding high, so I’m just going to watch this puppy sleep in the sun for a bit.

Students already use AI to not read and write. Including these tools in canvas/blackboard institutionalizes the position that reading and writing don’t matter and, subsequently, neither does thinking. The AI model of education is fundamentally extractive. Take what you can, trash the rest.

Channeling that husky ancestry

Let's have some fun. In this NYT story, we see a picture of an OpenAI billboard on a college campus, suggesting the following prompt: "Give me a guide for mastering this Calc 101 syllabus. In two weeks. Small steps please." What happens when we actually use ChatGPT to do this? THREAD!

When I searched to see if Mary Shelley and Jane Austen could have met in Bath, Google AI informed me that they were, in fact, sisters...

Cora being extra cute this evening

Cumfi Local #315 in Sasktoon is collecting donations for those evacuated due to the forest fires raging only hours north of the city. NEEDED: Summer clothing, toys & games, coloring books, strollers, wheelchairs, baby formula, diapers. NOT NEEDED: winter clothes, blankets

It's the content you didn't know you needed: the A - Z of National Trust bums. From Apollo's muscular behind to a porcelain figure of Zeus's derriere, we hope you enjoy 🍑

This migraine has been crashing in my brain for about a week, and that's too long for guests.

From last night. I’m titling this picture, “I also like chips”.

unions: they get the job done

I am waiting to leave for a massage appointment for my back pain and I have such anxiety about it.

CONCENTRATING them. Into CAMPS.

Important Cora content: happy, sleepy puppy

Guys, he doesn’t write the speech

Dolly Parton: “If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain.” Michelle Desveaux: “If you want to enjoy the sunshine, you’ve got to put up with the drone of lawn mowers.”

Criticism of Israeli war crimes isn't anti-semitism. This essay on Israel's war crimes was penned by, let me see, oh, Israel's former Prime Minister. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Postcard from Ireland c/o the amazing @mmrilla.bsky.social is now living on my (dirty) mirror. 🧡🧡🧡

Puppy waiting not-so-patiently for the grass to dry on the first sunny day in almost a week.

Quick query for #academicsky on the job market: Is it worse to receive a rejection for a position you've been anxiously hoping for or is it worse to receive a rejection for a position you forgot you applied for? 🙃

Migraine level: I can hear all the individual bristles move when I brush my teeth

If a former Israeli prime minister can say this, what is stopping European leaders?

Imagine if burglars openly complained about how asking for permission to enter victims homes would ‘kill’ the burglary business.

Like, okay, Mr Fire Chief, you put out that massive wildfire, but your shareholders are worried about return on investment and your bottom line is looking weak after all that overtime you spent preventing our city from burning down. Better cut hours for the rest of the year! What stupid thinking.

The postal service IS NOT A BUSINESS. It's an essential service. It shouldn't be an absolute money pit, but it's okay with me if essential services aren't "profitable." The point is to deliver the service, NOT make money. (This is why privatization is always stupid. See NS Power...)

We are pleased to see a Thistledown Press classic CHARLIE MUSKRAT by Harold Johnson in Literary Press Group of Canada's 50 Books for 50 Years campaign! Find out more about LPG's rich history and the books that took part it in here: alllitup.ca/fifty-for-fi...

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

Librarian here. Got an email from a patron about our "poor selection" of books on AI, w/ list of new books that we HAD to get so ppl could stay informed about this important subject. Title, author, synopsis. Of 11 titles on the list, 10 Did Not Exist. At all. "Yeah, I got it from Ch*tGPT, why?"

Cora used up all her energy making friends with the vet staff today so even though it’s only 10am, girl is done.

Neighborhood Watch Puppy is on the job tonight.
