Seems right to celebrate Caturday with the first new cat species in a century. Long live the Tilcayo!
Bo Thompson@gaudipern.bsky.social · 2w agoThe world has enough heavy news, here's some light stuff: Scientists have confirmed the existence of a species of wild cats previously only known to locals of Bolivia. It is *smaller* than a house cat and its closest living relative diverged 1.4 million years ago. It's called a Tilcayo.
It's Cozy Mystery Day, and you can join the Cozy Mystery Book Club for free and get a free ebook with an author interview each month. September's featured author is Zara Keane. cozymysterybookclub.com #cozymystery #cozymysterybookclub

40% more kids are eating breakfast and 15% more are eating lunch since we launched free school meals in Minnesota. Now we’re making sure 100% of kids eat their broccoli.
And why does the toilet have a hard drive?

Happy Star Trek Day. I'm tempted to celebrate by buying Lego's new TOS bridge set with 8 minifigs, 4 tribbles, 2 Starfleet communicators, 4 phasers, Spock’s harp, 2 Vulcan Lirpas, and a Trident Scanner. Somebody stop me, please.

We know what this is. Voter suppression 101. Removing nearly 100 polling sites makes it exponentially harder to vote. But it won’t stop us. LDF’s Black Voters on the Rise election protection team can help voters navigate the chaos: LDF.vote fortworthreport.org/2026/09/01/a...

It's Black Cat Appreciation Day. They're keeping score.
As someone else posted, "See also the "Star Trek has gone woke!" and the "Doctor Who has gone woke!" crowd who failed to notice that both classic series have been woke since day 1."

I spent many years as an editor adding (or subtracting, if warranted) these. LLMs gobbled up my edited text, and now...this?
Allie McCormack@alliemccormackk.bsky.social · 2mo agoPlot twist: the punctuation everyone's using as "proof" of AI writing — em dash, Oxford comma, ellipses — has been around since before your grandparents were born.
