If you could use a pick-me-up, check out the Smithsonian’s live cheetah cub cam. The five-day old cubs are beyond adorable, and an important addition to the captive breeding program for this vulnerable species.

It annoys me just how much "turn it off and turn it on again" is actually the way to solve 80% of computer/phone/tech issues. On one hand: Actually great because it's simple and easy. On the other: generations of IT dudes being smug because they were right all along.

As a Rochesterian, I feel compelled to make jokes about Buffalo to my ingroup of other Rochesterians, and to tease Buffalo folk. However, sibling rules apply; if anybody not from western NY picks on Buffalo, fuck them, I’m now the biggest defender.

Snow leopard cubs are absolutely amazing. Of all the cat cubs I’ve seen, they’re the most silly, the most giddily playful. Do not missing seeing.

The fact of the matter is that if we don't want people resorting to asking LLMs to solve their coding problems for them, we as a community have gotta get a LOT more willing to field questions whose answers we regard as painfully obvious.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

“That’s right: We can no longer have towering, absurdly hirsute, functionally deranged drainpipes made from bears murdered with medieval weaponry on the heads of our rigidly immobile palace guards, because of Woke.” Amazing. Read the footnotes.

People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.

I guess the true answer would be Colossal Cave Adventure, or maybe Zork, but I'm not really sure how much those count as "video" games. So let's go with Ultima - specifically, Ultima IV, the one I burned endless hours on. (V and VI as well, but by that point I was mostly tabletop gaming).

For Batman Day, I present the best Batman scene ever:

Ace: "They were training me, turning me into a weapon 'for justice'. They got their weapon, I got cheated of my childhood"
Batman: "I know what that's like"
Ace: "You do, don't you?"
Ace: "You don't have to answer, I read your mind. That's how I knew you weren't going to use Ms Waller's weapon on me"
Batman: "No, I wasn't"
Ace: "You were gonna try and talk me into fixing what I've changed..."
Ace: "before I die"
Batman: "Yes"
Ace: "I'm dying very soon"
Batman: "Yes, I'm sorry"
Ace: Would you stay with me? I'm scared"
Batman sits with her and holds her hand

cis people DO NOT DO THIS trans women face MUCH HIGHER rates of violence than cis women this is going to put trans women in even more danger and would put this cis woman in more danger too ALSO: WE ARE NOT YOUR PUNCHLINE

A woman was approached by a man
today. He asked her if she thought her dress was a little too short.
She replied: „As long as my dick isn't hanging out at the bottom, I think we're good"
BOOM. Instant silence...
Bottom line: It's none of a man's business how long a woman's dress is.
