Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Behold, the world's smallest cow
A silly photo messing with perspective. A hilly grassy field with 4 cows, three quite far away, one a little closer. The person who took the photo is next to the fence, and the closest cow appears to be standing on top of a fence post.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

one of my favorite tumblr posts
coffee shop by my house hired a new barista who is extraordinarily hot and flirts with me incessantly but she also makes the worst - and i truly mean the worst - coffee i’ve ever paid for. atrociously bad. just another of god’s little jokes

just remembered the barista who worked there last year and treated me with an attitude generally reserved for children and the incompetent to the point where she would frequently adjust my drink order in front of me and every single time it was BANGIN’

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

It's International Week of Deaf People *21/09 - 27/09. Paying homage to the Queen of the Comms, Hoshi Sato. Something I learned while researching Japanese Sign Language (JSL) "Hoshi" means "Star."

In particular this darling donkey crab tortoise monstrosity is dedicated to @kaseygifford.bsky.social Who has been creating marvellous monsters since forever ago.
A fuzzy donkey head and neck looks forward out of a crabs carapace with its ears pointing forward, to either shoulder are the crabs eyes, they hold big chunky claws in front of them and the ends of where the crabs feet would be a little hooves. To the right of it is a side view of the donkey chimera creature. Revealing its shell transforms into a tortoise shell and it has a pair of tortoise hind legs in the caboose along with a donkey tail.

there's a new "iced coffee" every year, just to keep the HR consulting industry "relevant" and help corporations gatekeep based on who bothers to research the latest conventions before going on the market resume formatting things, interview behavioral things, networking things always changing

several years ago my boss asked me to do something well within my job description (to the extent that i had one) and got me a large iced coffee with extra shots in exchange co-worker: why is she trying to give you toxic levels of caffeine? me: what are you talking about this is awesome

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

This is the comic of Benton’s I do share when showing examples of time in comics - wonderful to think about how comics handle time. Students love it - so simple but effective!
comic by Jim benton, 2 by 4 grid, all same size, character in same spot waist up in each, first as a baby, then a little girl with red hair, green shirt, glasses, same for successive panels, slowly she ages, shrinks a bit, loses the red hair, and then final panel, an old woman

and yes, before anyone asks, I am absolutely familiar with Pascal Jousselin's Mr. Invincible (as it's called in English)! As good as I thought it was when I just seen a few pages online, when it finally came out in english, I was shocked how relentlessly creative he was page after page - so good!
Cover to Mr. Invincible, and interior page - in which using his powers to see the layout of the page, mr. invincible rescues a cat in a tree not by climbing the tree, but by reaching down to the panel below him and grabbing it that way. It's pretty fun - and only in comics!

AI transcriptions are like washing machines. Both technologies help solve a problem, but create new problems and new expectations about productivity. Washing machines are more efficient in many cases, but some items still need to be hand washed or dry cleaned.
