Is anyone else in Houston experiencing a lizard boom? My complex is Lizard Land - never in my life, y’all. There’s got to be multiple kingdoms, all positively thriving if population is any indication.

Shot of one of the lizards at my complex - they aren’t big, but they are many. Lizard is small, contrasting against the concrete, a bit more natural colored, more tan. It has speckles arranged in more or less even bands all the way down to the tail.

Houston’s Facebook Marketplace stays a fascinating place.

A Facebook Marketplace posting for Free Lemurs (of the “I like to move move it” variety). Pic is of what I hope to god is a group of lemurs with black and white striped tails at a Zoo or Rescue or is AI generated.

Yes! It’s a lot for Magnus, my dog of almost eight years, but they are warming up to each other. They make for super cute brothers!!

My dogs, Lucky and Magnus, chilling together in the office. Their first time spontaneously sharing a sleep spot!

My dogs, Lucky and Magnus, dressed in matching blue shirts with white stars trimmed in red for the Fourth of July at Crystal Beach. Lucky is dozing in the sand with crossed chicken legs and Magnus was asking to sit with me iirc.

is anyone else getting diarrhea
Discussion
I saw on the news that people are going to the hospital with diarrhea from fruits and veggies. I tried to make a salad using a recipe I stole from hello fresh last week and today I'm having a hard time being hydrated and I am worried about if I need to go to hospital soon. my ribs hurt from vomiting but I think it could also just be the flu. I have not eaten at taco bell which they are saying is where people are getting sick from. i am embarassed to talk about this but I just wanted to ask if anyone else is not isnot feeling well.
thank you.
edit: recipie was for salad that involved big chunk of arugula lettuce and goat cheese and then chicken I think. any insight would help me thank you

Pic of Lucky today while trying on his 4th of July shirt. I caught him mid lick - tongue touching his nose - almost too adorable for words. He’s filling out nicely and his skin is doing better. He seems pretty happy, judging by the snorting and cuddling and goofiness verging into gremlin mode 😊

…which is, bien sûr, short for Lucky Portent the Pupper Pauper Patrice Justice Maurice Poocheaux ⚜️🐾

Lucky a couple of days ago in his jump suit, I mean harness, soon after scrapping with Magnus. Idk where he was before but this little dog can throw paws. He was so happy to be rid of that strap harness that he climbed up and nuzzled my neck when I put him in this one and clapped for him because he looks so handsome 🥺

Now “Lucky” is short for Lucky Portent…

Lucky a couple of days after I took him in. Thankfully, I had a cheapy, strappy backup harness that didn’t quite fit Magnus, but fit Lucky pretty good. He didn’t have enough fur/hair or natural padding to make it comfortable though. He is looking so serious in this pic because he only sits still when it’s treat time. (Which is of course Serious Business.) Normally he’s being all kinds of goofy or trying to taste electrical sockets or climb into the dishwasher or out the back passenger window I didn’t realize was down while I’m trying to park the car (!!!!)

Alright y’all: No microchip, and I’ve taken massive psychic damage scrolling through pages of lost dogs with no luck. Another dog makes zero sense for me rn, except for the fact that not keeping him just doesn’t feel like the move in my heart/gut/bones/soul. So, w/o further ado, this is Lucky.

Pic of Lucky the morning after someone dropped him into my patio. He appears to be a “poorly bred French Bulldog” per Reddit.

Lucky has the classic tall ears of the French Bulldog, a dark brown brindled coat, a not so squashed snout, and dark, beautiful eyes. He is far too skinny in this pic.

Y’all - I had just come back in from taking my dog out this morning. Was drying him off a little when we heard a noise outside. We both looked over to the patio and Magnus started growling. I saw a shape move and found this! I think someone straight abandoned this lil dog on my patio!!

Was looking through messages and found me asking the group chat an important question. My sister didn’t waste words 😂

Jul 19, 2024 at 12:06
Listened to a book called
Devolution about a first hand account involving contact with Sasquatch/Bigfoot (fiction) - it was good!
I now need to pose a question to the group:
You are given the opportunity to move to a newly built super
"smart" community in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
The whole point of the community is to get back to nature while still being connected via internet and tech to the world. Groceries are delivered by drones and driverless cars, power from solar panels and methane from recycled waste, custom laid fiber optic cable for connectivity, there's staff to summon for maintenance and repairs, etc.
Plus, Seattle is just 90 minutes away on a mountain highway.

I want to emphasize that this community is in the untamed
*wilderness* - before this community was built, there was nothing out there resembling civilization beyond hunting cabins and people living off the grid.
Assuming you would move there, my question is: Would you bring a gun?

Assuming you would move there, my question is: Would you bring

My student read “silhouette” last night (seemingly for the first time), and I just looked up the etymology. Did y’all know it the word comes from the name of a French finance minister in the mid 1700s? He imposed austerity to pay for the Seven Years War so his name became synonymous w cheap stuff!

Example of a silhouette of Goethe, a man in regency (esque don’t @ me) clothes seems to be conversing with the black outline bust of a woman. (The text below reveals it’s a grave monument).

The word silhouette is derived from the name of Étienne de Silhouette,
a French finance minister who, in 1759, was forced by France's credit crisis during the Seven Years' War to impose severe economic demands upon the French people, particularly the wealthy.

Because of de Silhouette's austere
economies, his name became synonymous with anything done or made cheaply and so with these outline portraits.

Prior to the advent of photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way of recording a person's appearance.

My bone-deep reaction to the notion of “cognitive surrender”

Simpson’s meme - a guy in a purple suite and salmon tie looking down his nose and the subtitle “Pathetic” across his chest

The researchers were testing a key theory: whether users would be willing to believe what the Al was telling them regardless of accuracy, in what they termed a "cognitive surrender" that effectively overrode their intuition and deliberation process.

Am I being too sensitive or is this a lil out of pocket? “You're either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser.” Tf does that even mean?

You preferred human writing.
You're either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser. Maybe you also noticed that human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's
"Blood Meridien," caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: "As well ask men what they think of stone."
A.I. used to make mistakes like these. But today's systems are much more fluid than their predecessors — so fluid, in fact, that finding grammatical errors or nonstandard syntax is often a hint that you're looking at a human's prose, not a machine's.

“increasingly elusive” bc it hasn’t happened or bc it’s not likely to happen? Or bc it’s extra not likely to happen bc of…what? The GOP’s stellar stewardship in TX and elsewhere? Or gerrymandering? Idk if increasingly makes sense. I do love his mother tho lol “Some ppl *need* trash-talking.”

For now, Talarico is running for the Senate, becoming the latest in a line of buzzy Democrats put forward to pursue the Party's increasingly elusive dream of winning a statewide election in Texas. But, as Tad Friend reports in the week's issue, Talarico is different from other Democratic standouts past and present. Part of it is his public expression of Christian faith—
Talarico is currently on leave from the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary—but it's also the way he talks about elections and political life. "I'm not a huge fan of being against someone," he tells Friend. "A campaign based on love is more durable than one based on fear." Even his mother wishes her son would get his hands a little dirtier. "He won't trash-talk," she says. "And that's very annoying, because some people need trash-talking."
