We bought the Fluent Pet starter kit for our cat, Elena, since she's a weirdo and - despite being very very smart - we weren't sure she'd take to them.
She gets the "pets" button so far. "Play" remains elusive.
Also, her method of pressing the button is by biting it.
This tracks.

“Captain, we’re being hailed. The ship is called The Dark Carnival… and their captain is wearing clown makeup.”
You know how every sci-fi setting eventually gets around to having space Jews, space Roma and space Mormons? There's usually also space Mongolians and space Romans in there too.
We should start having space Juggalos as a stock sci-fi culture. Set hailing frequencies to Woop Woop!

I think the Bsky moderation team might have missed the whole "internet troll" part of my backstory.

The fact that I – an immature former internet troll – have more emotional intelligence than this actual person in charge of Bluesky is ... beyond mind boggling. I can't believe I'm about to say this:
You run this place. Stop doing stuff like this. Are you a fucking 12 year old?

If you only fight censorship right up to the line where it becomes your definition of porn, refusing to have solidarity with pornographers, I can't find it in me to care about your problems. You've shown you don't care about mine and will bounce the moment you get what benefits you.

Where is everyone getting their fabric from online now? My local store is almost entirely quilting cotton, and it's lovely, but their selection of apparel fabrics is dismal at best.

When leftists say "Kill the cop in your mind" that includes the liberal obsession with means-testing.
People shouldn't have to "earn" or "deserve" the "right" not to suffer and struggle.
Our brains are poisoned from birth by the capitalism and Christianity baked into the foundation of our culture.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

I’m sorry but “People may take advantage of X” says a lot about the person voicing the concern and isn’t a good argument against disability accommodations.
You just can’t means test accessibility.

Accounts that get quoted/replied with ALT text for their images and then continue posting without ALT text bewilders me. More so when it’s a mostly image account.
One reply/quote is all I’d need for stuff like that. After dying of shame, I’d do better.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
