Those things can’t even count. If you think animals can’t count, show a dog three treats then give him two.

“I will go to a new place! Eat new food! Tiny adventure!” Shortly thereafter, I am delighted to find a menu item I am entirely familiar with. [Word??] [meat] with [word??] sauce and seasonal veggies and [presumably pasta word??] served with a cup of [word??] soup? No. Mushroom ravioli? YES
Please. Humans are inevitable human. In our modern age of unprecedented comfort and convenience and health, what do we still like best? Talking to each other. Petting dogs and cats and horses. Watching a fire. Sex. Going on a little walk. Having snacks. Holding babies. That’s the good shit.
Paul Frazee@pfrazee.com · 2d agoIt’s weird how everyone is having big apprehensive reaction about a technology that changes the nature of humanity
If I get left behind on that, I can rest assured they’re not going anywhere I want to go.
Sargoth (discursively endogenous feliform)@longersky.com · 7d ago"If you don't use chatbots, you will be left behind" friend, I am an elder millennial, I have fully embraced being a cultural cul-de-sac whose frame of reference becomes narrower and more archaic as time goes on being left behind is not a threat; it is a promise of staying the course straight ahead

I am at the point where one more ad in the format of “Everyone is OBSESSED with this [random household object of zero significance]!” I might have to destroy something.
Those who have read #Daggerbound, opinions on fan-casting for the Dervish? Personally I am leaning towards Luke Pasqualino.
I am reading #Daggerbound and I need @tkingfisher.com to know that when they were discussing how to make Francis (giant isopod) look harmless, my brain served up “Put big plastic googly eyes on her.” Which I then had to stop and draw.
It seems cosmically unfair that having the money to do a lot of things only comes once you are too old to do them.
Man, that is DIRE
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 7d agoA sign of concern about the batshit crazy duo of Trump and Bessent. The Dutch central bank has shifted more than 78 tonnes of gold from New York to London in a politically sensitive move, citing “increasing geopolitical unrest”. www.ft.com/content/1749...
Welp, now I care about a giant pill bug. 🤷♀️ #TKingfisher #UrsulaVernon #Daggerbound

Stuck my feet under the covers A tiny predator noticed the movement, came over, and gently, lovingly, sank her fangs through the blankets and onto my foot. This has been our relationship with cats for ten thousand years.
Man I kinda want to pull the specs on these things and pick them apart. Most probable points of failure: - Producing enough carbs, fat, and protein. - Anything with a shelf life, such as medications - Spare parts and repair knowledge - Going absolutely tharn
Josh Sternberg@joshsternberg.com · last wk.This is where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack. But it for me thinking: what if the uber wealthy built these bunkers for more people — and not for nuclear attacks but for the climate crisis that will get us all — instead of trying to leave the planet?
There needs to be a big German word for how a small detail in a story is nowhere near the most important thing, but it does ramp up the absurdity of the main point. Like when a terrible fascist is named something like Meanie Powers.
For a split second I thought ‘oh I should order one —‘ then remembered my STEM inclined ‘kid’ is about to be a senior in college, graduating w a degree in computer science w a minor in robotics. 😂

In the cemetery where most of my family is buried, at the far edge there is a row of rough stones. About as big as a woman could lift on her own, about 2 feet apart. It haunts me.
