Are they still partnered with Flock? That's all I need, a doorbell that spies on me and my neighbors for the cops. Oh, and police departments that are partnered with Flock can (and will) give Flock info to ICE.

In the dictionary, next to the word "slimy," is a picture of Mike Johnson.

I think this is week 3 of this heat dome? Too much humidity so my swamp cooler doesn't keep up. It's already 81 in my house at just after noon. 😭 Evaporative cooling works at its very best when the humidity is 10% or below. With daytime humidity of 25%-35%, it cuts the cooling capability in half.
Well if he’s sleeping upside down, then the cone isn’t bothering him much!
Poor Finnegan, in the cone of shame. Apparently the double donut of shame wasn’t good enough for him.
Poor Finn. Even with a double donut he could still reach his incision. Poodles have REALLY long necks and are very flexible. Went to PetSmart and got the cone of shame. I didn't want to because he's a juggernaut and is going to kill us all with that thing. At least he can't reach the incision now.
Geek Grammy@geekgrammy.com · 7d agoFinnegan got neutered on Monday and I had to take him to the vet today because incision was really red. Apparently the surgical suit we got him was chafing, and the donut I had would not keep Mr. Giraffe Neck from licking his incision. So now he is double donut boy.

The meteor is definitely not arriving fast enough. 😂
Chuck Wendig@chuckwendig.bsky.social · last yr.Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough
Sorry but nope. I have ID verification for the VA. I'm not giving my ID/age verification to random social media sites.

And here is tangible evidence that Tom can dance. Neil is probably getting drowned in this video. According to the laws of the internet, here is Tom Holland.

"Leadership" - wasn't that Trump? Did he or did he not follow Fauci's recommendations? Also, "other reasons" like Trump ignoring the pandemic entirely?

Finnegan is at the vet today for his neuter surgery. Hoping it goes well, I worry every time one of my pets has to go under anesthesia. I asked the vet to give me some meds to keep him calm/sleepy for the first few days because that boy is NON-STOP.
"Intense physical therapy" for a fall that didn't injure him and a "mild case of pneumonia." I get pneumonia can worsen, but why would there be intense physical therapy for pneumonia? Do they even care about getting their story straight?
Kentucky Public Radio@kentuckypublicradio.org · last wk.A statement from Mitch McConnell released by his office says he’s still undergoing “intense physical therapy” and will miss the Fancy Farm political event this Saturday.
I went outside to touch grass today and the grass is all brown and crispy. Also it was 103℉ out there.
I need caffeine but it's too hot to make coffee, and I'm too pathetic to just drive to the coffee shop for an iced coffee. That would mean I would have actually get dressed in street clothes and THAT'S too hot. 😭 Also it's only 10am and this summer sucks.
This. You do not "owe it to the person" to watch the video of their murder. Traumatizing yourself doesn't help anyone. And yes, turn video autoplay off because a LOT of people are posting this video into the feed.
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 2w agoIf this horrific police execution video crosses your timeline consider: - we don’t have to physically witness a murder to know it’s horrific - people who are subject to this type of violence do not have to be repeatedly traumatized by it - you do not have to push violence into people’s timelines
Had to take my 23 Crosstrek in to the dealer because the AC wasn't working well AT ALL. Turns out there's a crack in the compressor and the parts won't be in until the 30th. They gave me a fully loaded 26 Outback and I am going to be so sad to go back to my own car. This thing has cooled seats. 🤯
Ok, worth the effort. Delicious, and a SUPER simple recipe. Had to make a small modification (1/3 of the sugar replaced with brown sugar because I ran out), but YUM. I don't even LIKE cherry pie and this came out good. Especially with ice cream.
Geek Grammy@geekgrammy.com · 2w agoNot my prettiest attempt, but it smells good.
I'm all about not changing clocks anymore, but why did they pick DST to make permanent? Scientists recommend Standard Time to more closely match our biological time clock.
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 3w agoThe House overwhelmingly voted to pass a bill to make daylight saving time permanent
Forecast high? 106 Temp in my house? 80 What am I doing? Baking a goddamn cherry pie because fresh cherries and hubby giving me sad puppy dog eyes because I haven’t made a cherry pie in a decade.
I know it sucks to do and that being the bigger person is literally torture but we do kind of have to limit how much we shit on people for being late to quit Twitter.
So... those of us in blue states with ONLY mail-in voting? I'm assuming we're screwed. I use the drop box but not everyone does. This state is literally unprepared for mass in-person voting. We've been mail-in for over a decade.

DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT TO DO IF I WANT TO BREATHE DANGEROUS AIR I HAVE THE RIGHT
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 3w agoMAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."
