Thank you - I think you told me about this before, my vet doesn't seem to realise it's an option, but will ask again now!

Oh god, just fuck off already.

The Seven-armed octopus (Haliphron atlanticus) is a large octopus species, that as its name suggests, has eight arms!

You have to admire the convenience of being able to told the tap and have your other hand in the water once you've dropped the toaster in the sink.

Hegseth's grasp at macho militarism, including pretty explicitly calling for soldiers to commit war crimes, reminded me of Barbara Ehrenreich's reaction to Abu Ghraib: "It is not enough to be equal to men when the men are acting like beasts."

At least I'm not into the Star Wars sets 😵‍💫
