Hello from Buzz the pizza rat #rats #petrats #ratsofbluesky
A black and white rat rests on a sling with a pizza design on it.  A wheel is behind him.  There is nary a thought here so do not expect to find one in this picture.

Ratty Box came today and I went ahead and gave them the giant hide. A donnybrook immediately erupted inside the Ratty Hut, which is apparently the rats' equivalent to the Waffle House. There was one casualty, treatment included soothing a bruised ego and a banana chip. #rats #petrats #ratsofbluesky
Buzz the black and white rat peeks insolently out of a hide labelled "Ratty Hut", his brother Ben keeled over to the right.

Well, three of the fledglings left the nest, and the parents have moved on. There's the little runty one left in there alone, and I doubt he'll last the night. Nature sucks sometimes. If he's still alive in the morning I will see if there's any food he will take.

Apparently there are 4 house finch chicks in my begonia. #birds
Four house finches in a begonia planter.  One on the lower right is in profile showing off their leg.  Another peeks over their head.

To the left center on a begonia stem perches a third, and the head and beak of a fourth are visible in dead center.

Why am I rooting for Norway? Because APOPO had a fundraiser in which you pick a rat to represent a team and place a "bet" on them. As my rats are rattus rattus NORVEGICUS (a misnomer but a fun one) I put all my money on Norway. apopo.org/latest/apopo...

I was at a local restaurant and happened to strike up a conversation with the woman at a table next to mine, and she highly recommended this show. I wasn't convinced but I checked it out and WOW that was a banger. Just a really well-crafted mystery/drama. So I am passing the recommendation on.

Someone once said a good use for AI would be for artists who don't have access to a reference to use for their work. For instance I could generate an image of a nice bowl of tropical fruit next to a fat red dildo with a sticker of Zohran Mamdani's face on it. I can't always find tropical fruit.

We were unaware that an image of the Confederate flag was included in a video as part of this exhibit, and we have withdrawn our participation. Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom.”

Yes, it’s such a difficult issue, impacting all of our lives, isn’t it? A few trans girls want to play sports, enjoy a fun game, and then go out for pizza afterwards with their friends. How are we supposed to focus on anything else when this “difficult issue” is happening right here in America!

Never used AI before, so thought I would see what it said about my art. It kissed my ass unabashedly. Then I tried doing a sci-fi post-apocalyptic roleplay with a chatbot. It did okay, though pretty much all the ideas were mine. Felt a lot like masturbating.

More falls are faintly visible in the background centerDevil's Tower WY juts up in the center of the photo.  Sign reads "Please do not disturb prayer bundles and prayer cloths".  Start with the tone.

Neil the cream rat with a white blaze looks condescendingly into the camera down his long nose.  He rests on a felted mat of green hues.  His brother Ben's tail is curled up underneath him.

Watched Disclosure Day and I thought it was pretty good. Though I sort of expected the film to be sharper; maybe it was my theater. God the cars-driving-through-shit shots were peak cinematography, though. Hope that doesn't spoil anything that cars drive through a whole lot of shit.

Got into it with some fool in a comment section, and it struck me that their whole "we live in a REPUBLIC not a DEMOCRACY" shtick is not only because they wish to actually not live in a democracy, but because that word lent itself to the Democratic party and "Republican" stems from Republic.
