I don't have a specific silly little guy plan yet, though. Would be amused to know what folks think I should get.
"dearest Martha, The Bluesky battle of the Banana drains our souls. Pinned betwixt the Green and the Brown I yearn for an end to this senselessness…"
Also, like ... some non-human animals probably SHOULD wipe. Have you ever looked at a dairy cow up close?!
I'm aware this is very much Not The Point, but fwiw the reason non-human animals don't have to wipe isn't because of their diets: it's because they don't have giant, muscular arses covering up the relevant anatomy, which we do in order to allow us to walk upright. The trade off is hands, for wiping.
Just mistyped something to best mate and have coined a new term - MERDEROUS. For when everything’s shit and you feel psychotic in an elegant French kind of way
Silly little guys! Someday I will have £30 to spare for my very own ...
We go on holiday in a couple of weeks and our finances are currently sub-optimal so I’m opening up ten Silly Little Guy slots. Usual rules apply: ⭐️ No portraits ⭐️ £30 each (via PayPal) ⭐️ Just simple silly guys My DMs are open! As ever, any and all shares are appreciated x
At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.
What do these people think "anti-AI" MEANS?! I don't use it! Because it sucks!!
I have one answer.
Wait I can get @killermartinis.bsky.social to ask people for money to buy a horse? I'm not sure it was wise to make me aware of this 🤣
If I can recall, I took you up on an offer to donate money for someone to buy a horse and we had a fantastic conversation as I washed dishes about it all.
I saw one of his pieces at the Palm Springs Art Museum and it was fabulous
It's Textile Tuesday, and you know what that means: a piece by artist Faig Ahmed called "The Dragons of Karabakh" that's woven to look like an antique Central Asian carpet is melting off the wall into a puddle. More about the artist here: faigahmed.com

i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys
one of my sons did take his trousers off inside midland library once lol. but to be fair his brother had just pulled the fire alarm so what else was he supposed to do
I heard there's 30-50 feral hogs in each Flock camera that will accost your license plate while your small kids play.

It’s a little surprising to me that the IRGC has a more functional theory of mind than the US federal government, but hey, here we fucking are.
I'll give AI this: It has somehow managed to make those of us who went to small liberal arts colleges even more smug about it than we already were.
"the red sox must make a big move and trade some prospects and how dare they trade so many prospects while making that big move." This position is fine. It is my position. It is the only true fan position.
"Exchanging one addiction, which is coal, for another addiction [to solar power] doesn't make any sense to me" (@jigarshahdc.bsky.social) - whaaaat? This statement makes no sense to ME. You can't be ADDICTED to the SUN. That's like saying I'm addicted to water because I have to drink it daily.
Shrieking and gritting my teeth through the AI chapter ... 😬
I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
Librarians destroy books *all the time* y'all. It's fine. If you feel so deeply that a physical copy of a work must be preserved I suggest you be the one to preserve it. But you will quickly discover the problem with claiming that everything everyone has ever written must be preserved in hard copy.

I don’t understand why you can’t play board games and drink wine simultaneously.
