Edward has learned to sit quietly and chew on his rope toy without hitting me in the head with it

Oh no he's growing up

Edward is a giant coward lol. He loves attention from people but, especially kids. I put him in a hoodie so kids are less scared because he has a breakdown if too many kids reject him

100% lol he's still growing to, the snoot picture I think is from June? He was severely underweight when we got him, I'm hoping to get a bit more muscle on him...he's got little chicken legs ATM lol

Edward is ours! He showed up on our street the day our dog Maya passed. We were set on getting another cat after the senior dogs passed but uh...the cat distribution system through an error that day

Literally was just doin our daily socializing where we sit and watch traffic so he's used to it. And learns not to harass people on the sidewalk etc.

Of course in a hoodie so kids see him as less scary

I thought I was going as Lydia for Halloween but "Slutty public radio host" is now a firm contender for my costume.

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

Sometimes it's not always those with highest titles. Leadership is sometimes forced in or the person holding the purse strings decides someone is a bro and gives them power not matching their title. Or sometimes it is the money directly interfering. Honestly I'd call it bully leadership
kaieta.bsky.social
A dirty truth about games: most of the time leadership is why a project fails or is cancelled, and even worse: those people go and start their own studios get investments because investors don't question the bro code, and the cycle continues.

Sometimes second chances aren't great
