That’s crappy.
When I worked at 7-11 we had a guy come in unannounced to interview and we could not find our manager so he waited for 4 hours before we finally realized he was a day early.

I’m assuming we (USA) Americans have taken that same sentiment from before the grand split 250 years ago and continued to warp it to our own ugly beast. And it still continues to f- up how we treat ourselves and the rest of the world.

An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Well that was a fun round of storms. Not sure how bad the damage was here. But I have not heard any sirens going off (weather or fire) so it should be ok.
My heart goes out to those that were not so lucky. Sounds like places to the east got hit hard.

First thing that popped in my head when I saw the caption. Glad someone posted it.

This is very good reworking of the intro to The Prisoner 😆

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Me: “So if it’s 11:15 but our bodies think it’s only 10:15, then why does it feel like 2?”

Husband: “Same reason it’s 2026 but it feels like 1939.”

I hear you! My day was absolute shit before I even got to work and I have not been able to shake it off all day. Trying to keep things positive when I can but it’s been very difficult.

I hope your day gets better.

"WHAT ARE WE TO TELL THE CHILDREN ABOUT GAYS MARRYING?" Dunno. I'll ask my 5-year-old, who just married their stuffed bear to a stuffed pony."

If I had tigers I’d need at least one that’s just a cuddly orange boyo so I could use him as a soft warm fuzzy pillow when I’m on break.

The others can be wild and hungry, outside my office.

My Jamie loves these things. She is the super meek, quiet kitty that runs from any kind of perceived threat (including paper falling on the floor).

She goes all Red Sonja on the other girls when these come out. Get in her way and she’ll sit on your warm corpse while she eats her treat and yours.

The barbed wire, do you really think…

…that it’s enough?
I mean can we get a pit of vipers and perhaps a giant bolder at the end of the hall that we can have roll down. I suppose the fire marshal would be a little bothered by flaming jet traps in the doorway. 🤔

So, plant people, does this work? I’m willing to try it if it gets my seeds to do anything other than get eaten by birds.

You and me both, Jorts.

Problem solved. Sapphire came running in from the kitchen and plowed headfirst into the pile of doom and exorcised Onyx from the bed.

Pile of wrinkled white bedding on a bed. A black tail is curling out of one fold and the tip of a black paw sticks out from another fold.

Part of me really wants to make the bed, but there is a heavy feeling of foreboding that it really is not a good idea right now. Not so much an evil feeling but one of doom. Almost as if some furry little imp were warning me…
“Don’t even think about it! I am awake when you are asleep human”

HELP! I’m trapped under a cat! 😬

Quick! Someone shake a bag of treats to distract her. 😸

Um, excuse me. We still have a whole work day ahead of us, Steve...

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

It was kinda new but there was not much to interest me. It was mostly scientific research I did not understand. So I went back to telnet, tracking down and cataloging internet connected coffee pots and soda vending machines that bored grad students were hacking in their labs.

I still remember a friend telling me to go to a particular gopher site to track down a new but obscure bit of software called Mosaic. It was supposed to work on this new fangled protocol stack being called a World Wide Web that a few universities and research organizations were using.

A bluesky post from Kyra, artist behind chikin nuggit, laying out what is happening to their IP. Buzzfeed and its corporate shareholders are feeding chikn nuggit to the gen ai for training. The OP states they are strongly against this and are devastated.

Chikin Nuggit is being fed to the AI machine. Kyra the OP and creator and voice of Chikin Nuggit, made a post that was deleted shortly after it went live.
