I got another block this morning, apparently because I quote reposted. I'msure this will get me more blocks but I have to say this. You can disallow quote reposts so allowing them then blocking anyone who quotes you is both hateful & extremely bizarre. It's like you're setting a trap.
Another round for Hudson! ⚽ The massive muskox is getting faster at popping his inflatable balls, but no worries, he and the herd have plenty of other “muskox-sturdy” barrels, balls, and enrichment items to enjoy. Enrichment plays an important role in animal care by encouraging natural behaviors.
they should just stitch together all the SNL "Da Bears" segments and if they can get a half hour of them, show it, in memory of Ditka.
The Trump administration is making us look like whiny bitches on the world stage. Also, only international criminals would have any problem with the international criminal court, so do your own fucking math there.
So when is the ICC going to prosecute Trump? I've been waiting for a while. (Yes, I know... I have no idea how it works. It just seems to me that if we're going to have an international court they ought to be able to prosecute international criminals.)

I have feelings about this. Yes, it's horrible but I greatly admire people who have the courage to go out in public dressed outrageously and f*** you if you don't like it.
Look! If we have to put up with AI we need to be able to verbally abuse it when it screws up.

I get so tired of all the individual weird "rules" that people expect everyone to just automatically *know.* I wasn't involved but I saw someone post about blocking someone for doing something that is a perfectly normal and common thing to do.
I was enjoying the movie lists and discussion last night so here are a few pre-1970 movies that I liked a lot. Mr Roberts Texas Across the River The Night Walker The Rounders The Valley of the Gwangi Change of Habit
How many people does she cook for?! I'll bet she doesn't actually cook at all, she's just trying to justify her eating out habit. Flour lasts me several weeks and I have spices that are several years old. I have to go through them once in a while and throw out those that have lost potency.

A little over 10 hours scince my vaccines. No aches or chills yet but it's still early.
What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times? (Probably a tie between this and The Ten Commandments. They used to show both on TV once every year and we always watched them.)

"Next Star Trek movie will drop all legacy characters" I approve. In fact, they should have done it a long time ago instead of casting new actors to play familiar characters.
🎃 Skippy The Bush Kangaroo 🎃@skippythekangaroo.bsky.social · 4d agoI wasn't on much yesterday. Nothing special going on. It was just a really nice day. I went for a walk then worked on two sewing projects, finished one, cut out another. I was unusually motivated for me.
This feels related. You are supposed to know things but also hide any of the process by which you came to know them and if someone discovers you put in any effort, you are a loser. What a terrible way to go through life
yes please, this is my actual issue with paywalls, not the idea of paying for what I read
Nanjala@nanjala.bsky.social · 5d agoI need someone to develop an app where I deposit like $100 at the beginning of the year and then when I click on an article that’s behind a paywall they deduct a cost per article for that specific site and send it to the publication rather than expect me to subscribe to 50 outlets.
My Snag tights (which shipped from the UK) are in Los Angeles now. First of all, why are they in Los Angeles? Maybe I'm not as smart about geography as I think I am but isn't that the long way around? And second, they've been in Los Angeles for 4 days! What are they waiting on now?
![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
