press operator, etc..and some other things like electrician work and some account management roles. If you know anyone near those locations who might be looking for work, I'd be happy to point you to the job postings as there's a decent number of them at the moment.

I had a thought, which may or may not be relevant to your interests, but I work for a large (academic) publishing company and I recently noticed there are two locations in KY (Versailles and Lebanon Junction) that are hiring for a number of (physical) print production type jobs like ...

Library nerds - Did you know that if your Library uses Hoopla that you might also have included with it a free 7 day binge pass to The Great Courses video library collection? I may never run out of documentaries to watch now... binge-pass.hoopladigital.com/titles/14738...

AI that is trained on scientific datasets to find new proteins or medications? Sounds great! AI that is used to replace humans doing creative work like art, music, and writing? That can f**k all the way off, permanently.

This plastic eating gargoyle as well

Dorian is a plastic eating gargoyle and I have to hide every plastic bag in the house for his safety. He loves belly rubs though.

Seeing though as it is rice-derived, I wonder if it has the potential for higher arsenic levels?

I checked out a few episodes of Gastronauts and really enjoyed it as well. Ooooh and Dirty Laundry is really wild. I came first for the Dimension 20 content, stayed for the hilarious other stuff!

Dropout continues to be one of the best things I subscribe to. <3

Locriansax @locriansax.bsky.social · 1d

Breaking News is an oldie but goodie on Dropout btw in case you haven't checked that out yet. Check the ones especially with Sam on it and Amy Vorphal (she's sooooooo hilariously bad at the game!!)

He is such a ham. Looks pretty good for 17 <3 I felt guilty that he had to have his yearly vet visit so I gave him some extra snuggles.

This is the face of a cat that just bullied me into sitting with him because he was meowing at me from the stairs. He loves belly rubs and I am all for it.

Dorian the grey cat has effectively manipulated me into sitting on the bed with him because he wanted belly rubs and his face shows his absolute contentment for what he has done.

Locriansax @locriansax.bsky.social · 1d

That's a good policy! The rescue I volunteer with also takes special care if cats end up bonding while at the shelter, which I'm glad that they do.

Locriansax @locriansax.bsky.social · 1d

dropping into thread to say that is a really lovely idiom!

drive east of Madison, and it was in black and white only. it was colorized when I was a freshman in college. I'm always glad to see it's not only still published but expanding :D Having the print edition return is ace. I used to have clippings in my locker at school-can't do that with online only!

I'm totally going to gift a subscription to my son for Christmas. He's 12 and is a voracious consumer of news with a love of satire already emerging. What's crazy is that I remember when I was in high school you could only get copies if you traveled to Madison or Milwaukee I was a 50 min..

Hi! Longtime cat-keeper and shelter volunteer here - bonded pairs should never be separated, some adult cats up for adoption actually do prefer to be only cats. Kittens do better in pairs because they have a buddy. Odd numbers of cats sometimes causes issues (like three) but not always.

end up feeling like transcribing jazz solos in my head - I like to spend time trying to figure out where in the mouth/throat they're formed (like woah the back of the throat use in Cantonese K/G being combined) or transcribing how voice actors make D&D animal sounds!

The flipped R for me was never super difficult to get, but teaching my Japanese friends who wanted to learn English better how to separate R from L took me some time to figure out how to explain. V / B as well since there is no V sound at all. Language phonemes are neat because ones we don't have..
