This is the guide dog puppy I’m fostering; this picture clearly lays out her relationship with our senior cat 🙂

Enshittification; just for fun, I was on the BMW Canada site yesterday playing with their configurator to see what their EVs cost, and today I get this spam 😡 No, I didn't sign into their site or enter my email address @doctorow.pluralistic.net

Here's the guide dog puppy I'm fostering, supervising while I'm installing our new dishwasher

Hmmm... what's wrong with this picture? I can't quite put my finger on it:

Grrr... I deleted my Meta account almost a year ago, and I just got this email today. So, even if you delete your account they still retain PII 😠

Uh, no... how many times do I have to tell you I don't want your AI garbage??

Andy Schan @schan.ca · 01/10/2025

Okay, you’ve got the picture, Dad… now, can you please take this off my head? #DogsOfBluesky

I've read that the US wants to ban "antifa"; unfortunately, 7 of my cousins were extremely active in an antifa organization, so I'd probably be flagged if I tried to enter the US

Yes, this is the dog’s bed, and yes, the cat has his own bed elsewhere; what are you getting at? #DogsOfBluesky #GuideDogPuppy

The famous, but elusive, triple!

Great- so, we’ve got Popeye running for Prime Minister?

Well, our civilization had a good run… Bluetooth on a furnace filter 🤦‍♂️

Finally, the elusive “Double Toy” caught on film! She accomplished a triple once, but I didn’t get a picture of that 🙁 #DogsOfBluesky

From Cory's latest: pluralistic.net/2025/03/22/o...

The significant thing about the way that Elon Musk is presently dismantling our government is not the existence of his own political delusions, or his own self-interested quest to privatize public functions, or his own misreading of economics; it is the fact that he is able to do it. And he is able to do it because he has several hundred billion dollars. If he did not have several hundred billion dollars he would just be another idiot with bad opinions. Because he has several hundred billion dollars his bad opinions are now our collective lived experience.
