Any chess players around that can explain why the king wouldn't take the knight? Stockfish has the queen's pawn move next.

A game review from chess.com where the computer suggests moving a knight forward beside the king to fork the queen and rook.

One of these requirements is relevant to being a product manager. One is not.

A screenshot of two job requirements. One is attention to detail and analytical rigor. The other is a degree from a prestigious college.

This is a real exchange I had with someone from my area on Next Door. There is a gap in thinking that I question whether it can ever be bridged.

An image of a conversation from Next Door that says homelessness will be solved for disabled citizens after illegal immigrants are expelled, their homes become available, and increased supply causes housing process to go down.

When did I piss in No Reply's cereal? That guy hates me! #applications #rejection #unemployed

We need to impose term limits. Congress won't act to limit themselves. And a constitutional convention is what the right-wing extremists have been driving toward for a while. It's a literal immovable object vs unstoppable force paradox. #termlimits

A screen capture of a proposed constitutional amendment that limits US house representatives to 5 terms, US senators to 2 terms, and supreme court justices to 14 years of service. It also imposes an age cap of 70 years for anyone serving in these roles, the presidency, or the vice-presidency.

I made an album cover for a made-up band as part of a HitRecord exercise back in 2019.

Five and a half hours and counting at the emergency vet. I'm very tired and very stressed. My cat is too young to be this sick.

A tuxedo cat named Watson who has figured out the voices are coming from the camera on the mantle.

I woke up with a bruise on my forehead, and I have no idea where it came from. I don't remember it being the when I went to sleep.

This is Hocus. Her favorite place is a sink. Both for napping and for running in place. She also has hypoplasia, so she falls over at the weirdest times.

This is Wolfgang (Jitterbug's brother). He climbed on top of me yesterday and made biscuits on my hip until I got up and fed him. :D

This is Pocus under there. She's a burrower. When I turn the light off at night, she burrows under the covers and sleeps next to me.

This is my little princess that I just lost to cancer waaaay back when she was a kitten. She was 2-4 weeks old in this pic and ready to conquer the world.
