I already greatly dislike those publicity blurbs for books. Too gushy and commercial for my taste. Pretty sure the AI versions will be even more annoying.

Was news to me. Last I recall, murdering people via helicopter ride was an Argentinian game. Was not expecting to see that particular strategy revisited, particularly not in the US.

I always lose my breath during those exams. Too much squishing.

65. Supreme court justice rotation from the federal district courts, 5 year term.

My take is that if Labor had seized the moment and enacted real change (tax fossil fuel exports, get big money out of politics for starters) they might have earned some respect.

I'll bet on the mother in law for slinging that curse.

So sad, too bad. Replies disabled on this article. I wonder why?

Went to medical school in San Francisco in the '80s so, yeah. Devastating times.

And paradoxically, banning a book makes a book all the more appealing.

It's all a lot of fun till she's chasing you around the room swinging a little hatchet.

Amendment 83's undefined "traditional methods" language could be used in court to challenge existing bans and reopen the door to cruel and harmful practices, which is precisely the goal of it's proponents. (Thanks for the heads up, Bobbie).

Bears could be killed during springtime when they’re weak from hibernation. These are methods that Coloradans have already banned themselves. Lead bullets are another “traditional method” that if allowed would secondarily kill animals (like birds of prey) that feed on carrion...

Hunting, fishing, and "traditional methods" would be declared the "preferred means" of managing wildlife. The deliberately vague phrase: "traditional methods" protects controversial and cruel practices such as bait lures, pack hounds, and steel-jawed leghold and body-gripping traps and snares...

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The goal of these out-of-state special interests is to undermine the authority of Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials to conduct science-based management of Colorado's wildlife resources and enshrine a "right to hunt" into the Colorado Constitution...

Coloradans: Vote NO on Amendment 83. Amendment 83 is the product of out-of-state special interests, led by an international trophy-hunting groups and the far-right Turning Point USA. These groups have poured more than $2 million into the campaign to pass Amendment 83... #colorado #politics #vote

Relieved a bit as for some reason I thought you were in Canada. Hope the heat passes soon.

So relieved when I became old enough that men stopped bothering me.

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

As we used to say in junior high school "Burn".

In an enormous noisy city, in which a substantial portion of locals do not enunciate, in a packed caffè where orders are hollered out over the crowd, perhaps we can do without loud house music. Especially at 9AM. Just a thought.

The article wasn't paywalled for me. I found it quite interesting. It and this thread remind me of this novel which, believe it or not, is a combination of US apple lore and horror.

Cover of the novel "Black River Orchard" by Chuck Wendig.

Wonder if click-clacks are still on the market. Or, in a pinch, an old pair of sneakers tied together by the laces

Looks like surly old white dude walking down a hall to me. Am I missing something? Was there text or sound?

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Around our place a missing cat was someone's lunch. Coyotes, foxes, raptors.

Recall speaking with a fellow resident in the 1990s. She was tiny, and about 30, a long live survivor of cystic fibrosis at that time. Things keep getting better.

Did that with cappuccino gelato last night.

Stringing fishing line or nets does have some promise. Wonder what the HOA will think.

Their coffee is horrible. I won't partake even if desperate. Had to toss it out one too madly times.

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Actually, I know several. Thanks for the tip. It's either that or the giant falcon who's been feasting on our lawn's voles.

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

No doubt some of the locals have the appropriate firearms. Personally, I'd like the one that shoots silly putty.

One great filter is that being so obscure, I know nobody "recently became intrigued" by my novels. I have been impressed by AI's creative usage of my book blurbs, but am sad to learn I should stop using "warm regards."

010

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Lots of big raptors in my area who'd enjoy a challenge.

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Could only think "shotgun" when I read the post. Literally, I can imagine a new hobby starting up.

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

AI lost me at let's plagiarise the arts and displace artists. No it's irritating me by trying to "help" by popping up or getting under my cursor.

Stella Jorette @stellajorette.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I'm really glad ActBlue is being investigated. After all, the republicans never ever take foreign donations, no crypto investments, no planned, no weddings. Nothing. Halos of innocence all around.

👍Sounds like higher quality to me.

My favourite internet wrongness was a guy who was convinced that coal was a renewable resource because it had formed naturally.

Context? As I can't imagine any context that justifies eating dog food.
