It occurs to me that deliberately not checking my muted in-law family group chats today is the modern equivalent of my mother screening calls on her birthday

Are you kidding me? Instead of filling in information myself, I now have to use some bullshit AI app that will guess value and country of origin to ship an item to the states??? And the shipper has to pay duties?

The BBC news headlines tonight led with the state of the king’s relationship with his son, followed by news of riots on the streets of Paris motivated by rising inequality and the failings of the political class. It’s possible that the eighteenth century is back.

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!
Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

Found my first silver hair the day we booked our first house viewing, and I think I just found my second, the day we move out of our rental and into our house

we've had more people ask if we're going to get a dog now that we bought a house than people who've implied that we're going to have babies now (why was that never phrased as a question?), so that's a win? we're still child-free cat people though.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

One thing I want to triply clarify: I believe one of these protests, especially those that different armed factions deployed in bad faith, are likely going to culminate in something ugly and dangerous and also it remains important to attend them because the alternative is worse.
Hi. On Even More News, we're joined by @alexsteed.bsky.social to talk about the moment we're in and how to adequately prepare for a protest.

We made a low-ball offer on a house, and our realtor added a request for the sellers to include their taxidermied fish after we joked about it
