Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart. Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.
So I hate tweet posts but my god this one deserves to live forever.
Health testing of cattle for tuberculosis and brucellosis has saved so many lives and the thought that some brain worm infested scion of a washed up political dynasty will get to end that is absolutely fucking galling.
With alt text, because this is far too good to leave inaccessible
Mashup of movie posters for Dune and The Big Lebowski. At the top is a list of Big Lebowski actors in small print. Below is a painted image (originally by Paul Mann) of Big Lebowski characters. Towards the bottom is the catchphrase "Sometimes There's a Man", and below that is the word DUDE in the same font as in the poster for Dune. At the bottom is a small figure of The Dude standing in a desert, with "In Theaters | HBO Max OCTOBER 22" overlaid on the sand.
The spice must, like, flow, man.
Not a scrap of rubbish on the ground. No violence. No arrests. No swastikas. No nooses. Fifty thousand people all uniting to voice their objection to the absurd, peacefully observing the kaupapa. That's a power you can't dismiss or switch off.
Pisces: An unexpected visitor arrives this week, now may be a good time to reinforce any doors and windows.
The terms of the discussion Seymour's Bill imposes on us are in bad faith and inconsistent with the clearly documented history and actual constitutional settlement of the country. They cannot lead to good faith discussion and are not meaningfully about equal rights, despite what Seymour claims.
"You think you're happy chilling out in the little garden you've built for yourself, but have you considered allowing me to enrich myself by poisoning everyone and everything around you in the name of a more balanced dialogue?" Nah, I'm good. You go to Hell alone & tell the devil I'll see him never.
Pisces: Love can take many forms, but that pulsating, shimmering darkness in the corner of your bedroom is not one of them.
Bluesky continuing to cause me to ask questions I hadn't previously thought to ask myself, like "Should I get my cats a theramin?"

Dear Christopher, This letter is to inform you of the current stranding of the Aratere Ferry. My understanding is that the problem came from a new rudder system. Apparently they had two smaller rudders controlling the main one, and that sent the boat all kinds of wrong directions. Itβs all okay though, Iβve sent them some suggestions for fixing it. 1. Cut 30% of the staffing on the ferry and focus the rest on the frontline. 2. Cancel any plans Labour had to deal with the ferries. 3. Ban cellphones on the vessel. 4. Repeal three of the surrounding waters and replace them with ??? 5. Prevent any future confusion by changing the boatβs name from βAratereβ to the more recognisable βQuick Pathβ. 6. Send the ferry to a military-style boat camp. That should fix it. Yours Sincerely, Simeon Brown
Transport Minister Simeon Brown to Christopher Luxon

Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."
It's the weekend, baby
There is no honor in making others struggle solely because you did. Persevering through difficulty is worth celebrating, but is often worth even more if you can lessen the burden for those who come after you, especially those less fortunate, less privileged. That way lies glory.

A Scottish wildcat peers out from behind a tree. It looks like a large brown tabby house cat and has a permanently annoyed expression.
Scottish wildcat behind a clump of purple heather, looking furious.
A Scottish wildcat glaring at you from among some grass.
A full-body photo of a Scottish wildcat, showing its stocky build, bushy tail, and exceedingly disgruntled expression. It looks like it was having a nice quiet stroll when you surprised it and insisted on striking up a conversation. Its muscles are tensed and poised to escape this unwanted social interaction.
The Scottish wildcat is absolutely, 100% fed up with your bullshit.
This might be the best thing Alan Moore ever did
In north west England, they have a hot beverage made by dunking a marsupial in hot water. The marsupial is put directly into the water: the koala tea of Mersey is not strained.
