This is why I love coyotes (even though I’m pretty sure they ate two of my peahens).
i've been watching the coyote on Alcatraz's progress with great interest. a week-ish ago, a coyote SWAM to Alcatraz for the first time and looked fuckin rough after the dangerous swim. but the coyote is doing fine now, gorging itself on unprepared birds & rats who are dealing with a sort of Godzilla

A midwife once handed me a pamphlet on pelvic floor exercises and said, softly, “If you don’t keep these up, love, it’ll look like a Tesco deli counter falling out of an attic.”
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

A depressing catalogue of failures in the extremely shit AI skills courses the government went on telly to promote yesterday. Useless UI, constant corporate branding, abysmal privacy protection, and at least one bit of weird anti-climate messaging(?!) all to service your ability to lie on a CV.
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

35 years ago, the European Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) published this infamous anti-piracy ad encouraging people to snitch on those peddling dodgy software. You'd get £1000 if your info led to a successful prosecution. Just like these two righteous tossers. 🤣

Oh shit, this is out TOMORROW.
Reminder to play the Cairn demo. Blends light survival with a wildly clever, tactile climbing system. A puzzle game in disguise. Lots of different routes up the mountain that you have to gauge yourself, making strategic use of ropes, pitons, natural handholds, etc. Really good shit.
Just had a go on the new Next Fest demo for Cairn and that's a day one purchase for me.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!
