My book about elderly friends reuniting to revisit a house that has haunted them since they were teens . . . is unleashed. THE HOME is dark, weird, dreamy, brutal, sad, and creepy. This is NOT an extreme horror book, so if you think I'm a one-trick pony . . . think again, buddy!
THE HOME is hungry!

Just now off the Senate floor: Susan Collins gets into an elevator. Chuck Schumer walks into that elevator behind her. Susan Collins quickly walks out before the door closes and looks for another elevator.
Bumblebee on a bush
I held a bumblebee for the first time tonight and my joy is indescribable. It's also the first bug I've held since I've moved. She was so SOFT.
A Barred Owl is perched on a tree branch while looking at the camera. It's right eye is nearly closed while it's left eye is wide open.
As promised, the first of my Barred Owl photos from yesterday's encounter. Here it is winking at me! OK, in reality it was just a sleepy owl.

Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won todayโs special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Demsโ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
I dug into this and it gets weirder in that the prize for winning the pageant appears to be 60 million dollars
No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About?
Dear Streaming Services,
No. I do not want a movie to automatically play after my movie has finished.
Nor do I want a different show to autoplay when my show has concluded.
The only time I want something to autoplay is the next episode of the show I'm currently watching.

the most important rule about driving in the snow: make sure you are going as fast as your car possibly can
People in the comments really need to learn that coming up with an extremely specific scenario where an idea doesnโt work is not the same as proving an idea is worse than the status quo. Limiting car speed would almost indisputably result in fewer deaths, even if there are exceptions
Many such cases of "nanny state opinion is very correct and very unpopular." My biggest nanny state position is banning fireworks. They're responsible for 10k emergency room visits per year. 30k fires per year. Drone shows look cooler anyway.
also solves my pet peeve of people that act like nobody can be in the left lane EVER because that's the lane reserved for going 100 mph
americans complaining about this idea requiring a "surveillance state" are so funny. if you really cared about being surveilled, you'd know that you'd already being watched by cctv, dash cams, your phone, etc etc. oh wait you only care when it stops you from speeding? who could have guessed
Not only could we easily ban our most rampant form of lawbreaking โย a crime that kills over 12,000 Americans every year โ we even have the technology to make it physically impossible.
Yet it's hard to imagine because so many of you out there delight in breaking the law.
People are begging and screaming for permission to drive like maniacs in the quotes of this 6 MONTHS later
Every objective study of LLMs have shown that despite people feeling like they are helping, they make work worse and slower vs "But I feel like they are helping"

spiderking23 @spiderking232 X.com All pornography is bad. As someone who is still somewhat caught in its grip, it is a despicable evil, a very blight on the human condition that should be utterly eradicated. It does to your brain, your conscience, and morality, the same thing smoking does to your lungs. โบ TheConservativeFurry @ConservFurry99.2d Apparently liking feral dragon art is zoophilia. Never mind the fact that dragons are mythological creatures. That is obviously irrelevant information.

Friendly reminder self-reported โporn addictionโ is correlated with personal guilt over using porn, statistics suggest self-identifying โporn addictsโ are actually consuming porn at a relatively normal rate โ they just feel uniquely bad about it due to their religious values
Late Winter in Baltimore - I did this painting 1 year ago today - Oil on Canvas 18"x24"
Painting made in Rebelle of a capybara as big as a hill sleeping as fog flows around it. The sun is setting to the left and the sunset colors the sky and fog with bright yellows, pinks and purples. In the foreground is some abstracted forest. The artist's watermark @joyousjoyfuljoyness and signature are on the bottom right.
The first painting in my Capybara Gargantua Collection, "Capybara and Fog"! Where would you expect to find a gigantic capybara with the fog #flowing around it?
