Excuse me sir, you are not a peach
A gray tabby cat is crouched inside a cardboard box that bears the logo of the Georgia Peach Truck. A couple of peaches are partially visible next to the cat in the box. The lid of the box is half shut, covering part of his body. The cat is looking directly at the camera.

O the particular pain of rereading a favorite book series and going to AO3 to find the smutfic and reading a delicious little snippet only to notice that the author wrote "Chapter 2 coming soon!" in like 2014 😭😭

If I were better-versed in national flags I could tell which countries are playing today's World Cup game based on the flags I see ppl wearing around Davis Square. Instead I'm doing the other way around - looking up game schedule to identify the flags. 🤦🏻‍♀️ A bunch of Norwegians & 1 Senegalese so far.

Egypt and Iran have requested that Pride events in Seattle during their World Cup match be canceled and… no. Welcome to Seattle. This might be the most patriotic I’ve felt in my life. Pride isn’t happening during your game; you’re here during Pride. Suck a rainbow. apnews.com/article/worl...

Highly relatable. I too would greatly prefer rest, legos, and french toast over *waves hands* all of this.
Post from @trudiibee that reads: "My 6yr old talking to himself on the toilet: every day I gotta get up for school. & then every day I'm gonna have to get up for work. When does it end. Did I ask for this? No. I don't remember that I asked for this. I asked for rest and legos and French toast."

Every future imagined by a tech company is worse than the previous iteration.
“The bathroom of the future will have “embedded levels of technology,” says Kohler’s design vice president Michael Seum. Bathrooms will become beauty and wellness consultants, advising homeowners on everything from their hydration levels to warning signs in their stool. The American bathroom, he says, will become “a health coach.” On a more mundane level—but perhaps a leap in reducing marital strife—he expects AI-assisted toilets to do tasks like automatically lift a toilet seat for a man.”

AI slop from the CDC All Hands... this is what happens when politicals don't let the comms team (at least the ones not fired by DOGE) do their job.

A picture of an Airbus jet sitting on the tarmac with the Spirit Halloween livery painted on it. It's a cloudy day and the tarmac is wet, which slightly reflects the bright orange color of the airplane.

Unrelated, but my 20yo tells me there are a lot of young people on the internet who pronounce biopic as if it rhymed with myopic. We both find this deeply upsetting.

I've reread this book a number of times, and this remains one of my all-time favorite authorial/editorial goofs. Truly a ✨gem✨. (Leverage In Death by J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts)

WaPo takes note of Trump’s “oscillating claims” about the war, but avoids the obvious conclusions — that Trump is deranged, that he is unfit, and that he shouldn’t be in charge. This is an example of the normalization of the dangerously abnormal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
