Do you think there should be an option to Sprite Trade in the upcoming Sprite Garden?

That's how all distinguished heroes should retire.. A retired K-9 police dog, a Belgian Malinois, living the ultimate retirement life in (likely) California. "Lying in a hammock, basking in the warm sun, what a leisurely day." 🐕🐾 #dog #hero #k9policedog #retirement

🚨 Head's up: Instagram just auto-opted public accounts into their new "Muse AI" feature, letting anyone generate AI images using your photos. To opt out: 1️⃣ Profile -> 3-line menu 2️⃣ Scroll to "Sharing and reuse" 3️⃣ Toggle OFF for both Posts & Reels
A mobile screenshot of the X (Twitter) post composer screen, showing an attached image of a tweet by Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD).

The text of the embedded tweet reads:
"Instagram decided to roll out a new 'Made with AI' feature, that lets users create AI images based on people's Instagram photos.

Then they opted in EVERYONE with a public account

To opt out:
Click your profile picture
3 bars in the top right
scroll down to 'Sharing and reuse'
Toggle off for both Posts and for Reels"

Below the text is a screenshot of the Instagram settings menu titled "Allow people to create with and reuse your content," showing the toggle switches for both "Posts" and "Reels" set to the off position.

When your ice cubes get a little too ambitious. 🧊🚀 Met this absolute unit of an "ice spike" today. The water expanded so fast while freezing that it shot upwards and literally jacked up the top tray. Nature is weird. Anyone else ever had their freezer start conducting rogue physics experiments? 🧪📷
A close-up, eye-level photograph of a stack of three plastic ice cube trays inside a freezer. The bottom tray is light cream, the middle is a light taupe, and the top tray is a matching taupe. The top tray has been pushed up at an angle by a prominent, jagged ice spike that has formed and shot upward from one of the filled water compartments in the middle tray. The ice spike is semi-translucent, resembling a miniature frozen mountain peak or volcano, and its tip presses against the underside of the top tray, lifting it open

Those that use Uber as a passenger, do you ever wonder what your rating is like, in terms of compliments you receive(if any)? Or if there’s even a way to see that?

There are two skies. One is for when you’re dreaming. One is for when you’re sad. They’re always the same sky. – Chidorigafuchi, Tokyo
Photo by Hiro Ohta. Chidorigafuchi, part of the Imperial Palace's inner moat, occupies most of the frame, its still surface holding the blue sky and drifting clouds as a second sky beneath the first. Trees crowding the left bank lean into their own reflection, leaves and branches doubled in the water below. A low bridge crosses in the middle distance, cars passing in a steady line, while small rowboats rest near a wooden dock on the far shore. Beyond the trees, a tall building and a construction crane stand against the horizon, the city held at a distance by the water and the green. Thin clouds stretch across the upper sky above a heavier band of white, both shapes repeated in the moat below. Grasses and low plants edge the foreground, marking where land gives way to water.

If your heart is heavy, let a cat sit on it. If your mind is racing, listen to a cat purr. If you're lonely, let a cat take up space in your life. In every moment, quiet or chaotic there's a cat for that.

It is the greatest tragedy of life that you have roughly 20 seconds to eat toast as it's optimum temperature, and that most of this time is used in buttering it.

Right, Threads and Instagram apps have been deleted. I’m not deleting Twitter yet, but I’ll be here a bit more often as the rage bait and shit posting with no content to get views over there is getting a bit much. How are we all doing over here? A bit more sane?

The contrast in that eye.
A close-up, sharp profile photograph of a Bali Myna (a rare white starling). The bird has pure, clean white plumage and is standing on a weathered wooden window sill. Its defining feature, a vibrant, piercing cobalt-blue patch of bare skin surrounding its dark eye, is in sharp focus. The reflections in the glass in the background have been significantly softened and desaturated, drawing all attention to the bird.

Balance is not stillness, but flowing with what moves.
Photo by SAMUEL BOURGEOT. A delicate stack of smooth stones rises from the shallow, gently flowing stream. In the background, a waterfall cascades down moss-covered rocks, creating a lush, green setting. The water glistens as it moves around the stones, reflecting soft light. The scene exudes tranquility, with the balance of the stones harmonizing with the natural surroundings.
