These gambling sites are ruining everything. PetSmart just asked if I want to use some amount of my rewards points to gamble on a chance to win more rewards points. I'm just trying to buy cat litter, man

Every night this living breathing purring beanie baby steals my armchair and then when i say "okay i guess i'll go to bed then" she goes MRRRP and zooms from the armchair to go upstairs because she LOVES bedtime

I love how it's completely bonkers, yet surprisingly accurate at the same time. 😜 Art by Huana Lv (on Instagram)
An image of four baby cats in a moment of surprise where they are spitting at the person taking the photo. Beneath that image is a hand-drawn version of the photo, which is both extreme and yet accurate at the same time.

Always very sweet when my cat suddenly wakes up from a deep sleep and immediately looks around for me, then makes a little ‘mrrp’ sound once she knows I’m there.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

The 4yo's camp this week allows you to bring home adoptable kitten(s) for a night (or two) to get them socialized. Of course we need to do this (🥴) because how could we not! It's diabolical and, I'm guessing, a highly effective way to get kittens adopted by suckers I mean nice families.

Years ago, we looked up book-related injuries in our NEISS injury data system and, unsurprisingly, many injuries were from books falling off shelves, people tripping over boxes of books, and injuries from trying to pick up boxes of books. The books are most dangerous when they are flocking together.

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Early season Data is standing in a fancy meeting room and directly behind a sitting Picard, Dr. Crusher, and La Forge, all sitting at a dining table. A United Federation of Plantets symbol is on the wall looking all formal like and there's some fancy drinks visible. Data seems like he's imploring. Closed caption reads, "Could you please continue the petty bickering?"

Googly eyes might stop seagulls from stealing your lunch. UK researchers stuck googly eyes onto takeout food containers in seagull-infested places and found that they were far less likely to be approached or pecked compared to un-googly-eyed control containers. buff.ly/G5i7JE5 #ShareGoodNewsToo

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

I’m not sure why I’m getting such a kick out of this, but on my walk this morning, my foot slid on something laying on the sidewalk. Looking down, angry and expecting to see a pile of dog crap, I found, much to my delight, that for the first time in my life, I’d actually slipped on a banana peel.
