🍆 is a global cultural thing now
This looks like it’s costuming for background women from a 1950s B sci fi movie
Did they take incentive from 🍆 because that’s just positively pornographic
He’s from San Francisco. Like Harris. Like Boxer. Like Feinstein. Never trust any Democrat from San Francisco or the Bay Area. They’re conservatives at heart. And the city is run by the Bohemian Club (no women allowed). Speaking as someone who grew up in SoCal, I have seen this for my 60+ years.
Ahh much like Bielefeld
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
today's dissertation rabbit hole nightmare was finding a video of Sam Altman in 2008 at WWDC announcing that Loopt would be available in the App Store while wearing a lime green polo layered under a magenta polo
Perfect for tea!
When will you remember? 0300 Thursday morning.
I have heard about some dominance, and even from before she met Eddy.
She fucked up a couple of marriages before that. Also I’m pretty sure Windsor was gay so marriage of convenience.
I was kinda hoping he’d close the trap door and we’d never see her again. That place is a walking example of code violations. If he works from there, OSHA needs to pay a visit. Also if you are going to do nested doors, there’s only one way to go: youtu.be/o2ObCoCm61s
Judging how well Apple’s “Find My” worked today when trying to find my wife in Costco, I can say that this is not a good idea.
Drove into there from New York to tick the state from my “driven in” list. It is a cute town and if I get back to the Hudson Valley I’ll make a side trip.
Time is but a flat circle so this works
I thought you were turned into a newt
Not sure about that specific article but I’ve been pointing to your podcast and articles a lot for sanity about A”I”.
We have two others, Poppy the cream and Daisy the dark. Here are pics from earlier this week, when we were at the coast for a few days to escape the heat (which of course got worse after we returned, lol).
That’s Jack. He’s now about 8 (I think that pic is a couple of years old). He has fear and anxiety issues and does not go outside. (He uses TinkleTurf™.) He’s a rescue from a Taiwanese puppy mill, we got him 6 years ago.
And the finest assortment of teas!
There are a bunch of folks who will put sharp objects in his tire treads.
What, and I say this with all sincerity, the absolute fuck is this shit.
Made by Ned himself!
Thank you!
OMG there’s a whole series of these (Also what are these from)
And Eggos!
And also the best breakfasts served by @lisaroyal.bsky.social
I’m totally staying in this B&B with such a handsome man waiting for cuddles & pets on the bed.
◽️ see results
Also I was going to mention checking if the UK has its own home sites, and someone already suggested Gumtree.
You’re welcome! And here’s hoping the level of flakes & scammers isn’t as great as here!
The start of meteorological autumn is a bitch.
August 31st/September 1st
All the sites have flakes and scammers, it’s a part of life. FB has worked for us, in fact that’s how we bought our new RV. I don’t think Nextdoor is over there.
WTF. Men.
Who would be the funniest journalist to break the news
There's just...a lot going on here
It’s #Caturday! Multitasking: Judging, relaxing, and wondering what da heck is wrong with humanity.

Because they have compensation issues
Agreed. Because I lived in Northridge, which adjoins Reseda.
Of course she wasn’t there last Saturday. 😤
Oh great. That’s my “do some work” when I’m waiting for an appointment device.
Meta is such a ridiculous hot mess. WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, are all not integrated, and you spend all of your time bouncing between them. Also, the number of anonymous random asshole reply guys on threads is unbelievable
And what integration there is is nonsensical.
If they’re making the UI worse again I will not like the update. It was bad enough in the past, and Android learned their lesson with bubbles & shit.
Oh fuck.
I could go for a good riot
The cost of inference is going UP as I SAID! The mainstream media picking this up is a huge deal and I'm so happy to see it
More time to snuggle you, sir. This is why they lie on the guest room bed, providing you an opportunity to snuggle them.
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
It should be cooler.
Aw crap. Sending healing vibes! I wish I was there to lend a hand of some sort.
Folks, there will be a lot of evil people gathered in one spot.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
*Alaskan Way Viaduct
*David Attenborough voice* “The famished Indy lies in wait on a high perch, waiting for Ned to come by. It’s difficult to know what she’s plotting but it’s obvious that some sort of revenge is in store.”
Even though we know the truth, you need to still comply
We have a baked ziti recipe somewhere, with a cream sauce. I’d have to find it, though. You can use either Italian sausage or chicken. (If it’s not hot Italian sausage, we add crushed red pepper flakes, but in your current condition I’d advise against it.)
People will get killed, both complicit and innocent.
I have two thoughts: 1) I’m so glad that they tore down the Alaskan Viaduct. 2) I am worried when you’re in the WA-99 tunnel.
PRIMOS was better fight me
The "A" in "AI" stands for Not.
Some people need a life. Or eine Backpfiefe, as the Germans say.
I call it A”I” because it’s sure not intelligent.
This is a fun one. Turns out some people's systems got compromised because their LLM "agents" ran the vulnerable nx command without them knowing it: github.com/nrwl/nx/issu... and github.com/nrwl/nx/issu...
It looks like the wound is healing wonderfully!
Sounds like they should be getting paid the hundreds of millions of dollars a year instead of the so-called A”I” geniuses (who are already quitting).
It should be. We took the new RV to the coast (working vacation), then came back on Wednesday (took the day off), and worked yesterday and half of today, so no real work momentum.
And let me throw this out there, that LLMs are just an implementation of statistics, specifically regression to the mean. So if you don’t want any individuality, by all means go ahead and use A”I”.
I’ll tap the sign, which I’ve been doing for two decades: “If you think A”I” is the answer, rethink your question.”
As a rule, I don't pentest things for free. But if you force me to use a buggy AI interface to place an order for my "legally defined as meat, but definitely not Mexican" "food," I'm going to make an exception...
You are part of the reason we are in this mess, and frankly you should suffer the consequences of encouraging fascism as well.
I bought disposable food prep gloves from Smart & Final because I am that stupid, too.
I’m glad someone else had an idea to show their own dog

Where’s the successor, is someone tracking the successor
Refactoring code to placate some AI suggestion
I think @ingo219.bsky.social can answer that
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
beauty in maps tbh

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking reelection in 2026: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... Iowa swung hard to the right starting in 2016, but the 3 special elections that have happened in Iowa so far in 2025 have swung toward Dems by 22, 24, & 26 percentage points. Two seats have flipped blue.

The shear terror knowing the dad joke is coming
Ned tried to disappoint us by not posting walkies but after much objection from the peanut gallery, he posted a mini thread!
Thank you. It’s been a weird week for me and I was really looking forward to walkies.
Dude we already herd that joke.
