Extremely satisfied this morning to witness guy in a neon blue truck straight screaming at the car in front of him at local coffee drive thru for (correctly) zippering the line instead of letting him cut. When we finally got to the pickup window, blue truck guy had zoomed off without his credit card

I'm not unsocial, it's just that every time I write a response to some idea online I get so overwhelmed with how pointless it is and delete it. This is probably why I'm feeling increasingly disconnected to others online, but also. My takes are just as good or bad when I keep them to myself, lol

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?

Added in the shiny reflections and he is pretty much done. I'd like to touch up certain areas after resting for a bit, but I may as well show him off early.
This is "Regal", a male Australian blue swimmer crab that took nearly 250 hours to paint, spanning over 3 years

If geckos have taught me anything, it’s that the Virgin Mary reproduced via parthenogenesis and Jesus should be a female clone of Mary

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

Nervous System puzzles are my go-to gift every year (including last year when my family and I gave the same owl puzzle to each other lol). @franzanth.bsky.social art puzzle is a complete no-brainer

I got this friend who loves barbed wire, collects barbed wire, attends barbed wire conventions. It's SO fucking hilarious to me because it sounds so fake, but apparently is real. I involuntarily start smiling whenever he talks about it; it's so rude of me, but I can't help it.

Cycads have been around since before the dinosaurs, they're a pre-flowering lineage that produces cones. Plants are dioecious, either male or female. This is because of woke.
