I feel like every morning I try to do a rollcall of the Birds to see who is still here. Have not seen Varied Thrush today. #Birds I like this video. It’s too bad it was so dark. I tried to brighten it. It is the immature or female varied thrush with foxy on top of the cage.

Discworld QOTD, from Pyramids

It will certainly show what our ancestors would be thinking if they were alive today. People have often speculated about this. Would they approve of modern society, they ask, would they marvel at present-day achievements? And of course this misses a fundamental point. What our ancestors would really be thinking, if they were alive today, is: "Why is it so dark in here?”

I made a couple of these as a trail for last weekend’s market and they both sold in the first five minutes. They’re super adorable so I’ll be so happy to make more! Pattern by BeezeeArt #plushart #stingrayart #seapancake #stingray #customplush

Concern? How about arrest the f*cker?? Cripes. If you or I hacked Medicare, the AFP would bash down our doors. AI does it? Oopsies! I am concerned! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Hmmm... Fall is here, and that means it's almost #Halloween! Time to make more of these nasty lil' guys for our front yard #ZantiMisfits invasion! Another addition will be their spaceship crashed on our roof, a detail I didn't have time to make last year. Also hoping to add movement to the Zantis!

I'm sorry, but when he DOES shit like this at a UN assembly, threatens to start attacking a country. EVERY FUCKING PERSON should be standing up and walking out on him. ALL of them, not just the reps from Cuba.

Editor: I'd like a story that combines Americans' hatred of artificial intelligence, their fears about the environment, their antipathy toward data centers, and their angst over inflation driven by dwindling fuel supplies. Reporter: Got ya covered, boss. Need anything else?

the guy who programs the firmware for your toaster thinks taxing income to pay for childhood cancer wards is fascism because it diverts money away from the reddit bigamist hosting 3:1 sex parties to fund research into teaching software that empathy is fake

I love the ritual of playing a vinyl record. Pulling it out of its sleeve. Looking at the cover art. Reading the song titles. Hearing the snap-hiss of the needle making contact. The sacrifice’s blood warming me as I drain the goblet dry. You know, normal girl stuff.
