Watchin' my fella's basic physiological functions like breathing and swallowing betray him:

'It's actually quite amazing that we've survived this long.'

Scotland generates significantly more renewable electricity than it consumes, hitting a record high of 113% of its electricity demand from renewables in 2022, meaning it exported surplus clean energy. It can be done!

Well, I think we can all agree that if software is 'pretty cool,' it must be infallible.

(Seriously, though... This is kind of horrifying.)

Someone in the comments said they thump the hood before starting their car to make sure any critters in there skedaddle... I think it's a swell idea, what with it getting cold. (Bonus if my neighbors think I'm weird.)
My dad and stepmom found a kitten warming itself around their car's engine block in deep winter and ended up adopting it.

I was watchin' the daily colon crawl conference, and as I saw Li'l Marco desperately try to be subtle about jolting the orangerangutan into consciousness...I experienced this moment of detachment where I thought, 'This was written by Charlie Day...?'

They may not be your official town sorcerer, but they are...to me...the official unofficial town sorcerer. (I'd hire 'em. There's a dirth of muscovy ducks in my area...)
I just posted a new unofficial town sorcerer walk over at my Patreon. I've included new photos of Muscovy duck, the snowy egret, and other lovely creatures. This post is semi-mystical and may bring a light sprinkling of magic into your day.

Help. I am trying to identify the song that's in this short. I have listened to so much classical music in the last week trying to figure it out. I am hitting a point of fixation, 'cause I feel like I /know/ it, but cannot summon the answer...

A lot of people fantasize about what they would do if they could time travel, and they often want to do something that would have some kind of impact and change history...

That's silly.

I just want to know what those dodecahedron things were for.

The mad influx of AI anything really makes me fondly appreciate the worst Photoshops and Microsoft Paint modifications.

I could use some help spreading the word.

My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall.

Think Junji Ito meets Little Women.

It isn't sedition for veterans to remind service members of their duty to law, country, and the Constitution.

It is, however, a repugnant disgrace to use the military as a tool against the people they are meant to defend.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

The last few days have been utterly wild... There's a lot to say about so much.

But I kind of want to see if Michael Bay wants to direct the legal thriller-comedy adaptation of whatever Halligan just did, 'cause that shit sure blew the fuck up.

I have had my coffee. Apologies. There's about an hour or so after where my dials for 'Too Enthusiastic' and 'Inhibition' have been cranked to the max and turned off, respectively.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

I was talking in my sleep and woke myself up saying, 'He's only saying that he'll release the files because he's trying to shake the resolve of those who say they'll vote yes on the discharge, and send the message to what remains of his loyal base that he really is still about transparency...

genuinely, think about how much our libraries do right now with the tiny bits of funding they can finagle, and imagine what they could do if they had real, proper funding. and then call your city council member and tell them to guarantee more money for the library
