Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.

Life sucks, but also I suck at life.

I'm guessing that by now you've heard that bull sharks can operate in both? I wonder what would select for that adaptation.

Exalt @exalt47.bsky.social · 11h

Sharks large enough to hunt them, anyway.

Some are saying that their tendency to stay in shallow waters means that they generally avoid sharks and orcas.

What if social predators drew up plays like sports teams

Why?

"Steller reported that as a female was being captured, a group of other sea cows attacked the hunting boat by ramming and rocking it, and after the hunt, her mate followed the boat to shore, even after the captured animal had died."

This is good to know.

By the way, and this is sad if true, but it reminds me of an account from Steller about the sea cow named for him:

My concern is that our faces will also be exploded on.

Crazy how with these people it's always AI that's "here to stay like it or not" and never like gender affirming medical procedures or something

crazy how they always say "stop shoving gender ideology down our throat" while also literally shoving their awful, actively-detrimental-to-the-world bullshit machines into every tiny crack they can find.

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

(forgetting the word for antibiotics) do i need cancel culture

I have trouble believing this after Snyder or whoever said that Jared Leto came up with the "We live in a society that no longer values honor*" line.

That starscream takes me back. We did also have a couple of the others but that Starscream was rad. I don't know if it holds up now that I'm not...8?

Probably the most unexpected addition. I watched two prior builds of the game before this one, and the cat was not there before.

Exalt @exalt47.bsky.social · 13h

This is a cool picture.

tfw I initially thought that "pegs" was going to mean something else for a brief moment

Well, the good news is that I should be good until Tuesday, and I can pick up new ones Wednesday after work.

I might be out of meds for a few days...

My executive dysfunction, or something that I can only compare to that, drives me nuts sometimes.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel
