booksellers: if you have david walliams's kids books on your shelf, you can add him to your next return! free up that shelf space for somebody better. www.thetimes.com/uk/media/art...

She and Overse had always been firmly in the “least likely to abandon a SecUnit to a lonely horrible fate” category, which was always the category I was most interested in.

We got him. Providing an update on the manhunt momentarily. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT-...

As much as I wanna keep up to date on the hunt for the assassin, the conspiracy theories are getting more and more unhinged. I'll just wait for it to show up on the news.

Her expression turned even more grim. “Corporate slave labor camps.” I said, “Yes, but if we call them that, Marketing and Branding gets angry and we get a power surge through our brains that fries little pieces of our neural tissue.” Indah winced.

In case your day needed some happy bird boats as much as mine has. Siri and Stomp the black vultures, contented pancake mode activated, are glad to oblige. 🪶

My sis just shared this pic of her new kitten and very, very old shih-tzu snuggling, and y'all probably need this today

Very specific art question, but does anyone know why in Clip Studio Paint, when you have a linework layer marked as the reference and you are clearing the overflow of a layer below it with the fill bucket, the color black, pure black, ignores the reference line and keeps clearing beyond it?

Andor's second season is a powerful look at the fragility of oppressive ideologies. It only goes to reinforce that this has become my favorite story in the entire Star Wars franchise. Here's my look back on the recent season: transfer-orbit.ghost.io/star-wars-an...

There it is. The first ever Heat Advisory issued in Alaska. This is the first year it has been an option. @alaskawx.bsky.social

It’s been a day. So here’s a chance to do a little good. This is Clem. He’s a patient at my old vet in Austin. They think he got hit by a car. My vet spent hours stabilizing him. If you have a few bucks to add to his GFM, that would be amazing. He’s got an amazing vet team on his side

If the POTUS is saying he's going to "liberate" cities from "burdensome leadership" (aka Dems/anyone who disagrees with him) I think it's (past) time for the military to either step down and refuse his orders or step up and stop him.

"He Was an Agitator," Claims LAPD Officer Who Shot Sleeping Snorlax hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

Right. So, ABC is not to be trusted. Good to know. And yes, I know most news media is a bit dubious, but firing someone to appease an oversize toddler in a permanent tantrum is another level.

BREAKING: The enforcement chief at America’s consumer watchdog is quitting, ProPublica has learned. Cara Petersen writes in her sign-off letter that it’s “clear that the Bureau’s current leadership has no intention to enforce the law in any meaningful way.” 🧵 1/

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

"You probably hope you can fall back to sleep in a few minutes, but I assure you, you cannot. I’m about to turn it up. I’ve got some buddies out here to rip off a cacophony, and we don’t take harmonization lightly. We live by the song, die by the song."

Four years late to the memo, but I'm sorry to hear about Cliff Simon. His Ba'al was awesome and he himself seemed very cool at conventions.

New Crow Time update [1/3]

African developers make a game where African characters steal back actual artefacts that are actually kept in Western museums and private collections while teaching you about the artefacts. This looks awesome.

Words cannot express how entirely fucking DONE I am with all the "It'S jUsT a DiStRaCtIoN!" bullshit. Everything is a "distraction." Life is a distraction from death. Also, dismissing what's going on in LA right now as a "distraction" is not only offensive, it displays staggering levels of stupidity

Harvey Fierstein is alive! He just won the lifetime achievement award (well deserved) which is why he's trending. ;)

It’s absolutely time for more visible signs of protest coming from within the military ⏳

My theory about bbq places: The better the bread, the worse everything else is. If you go to a bbq joint and the bread is fancy, brisket will suck, sauce will be too ketchup, sides will be stale. If they throw a shitty slice of Wonder Bread at you from the counter, you are in for miracle meat.

Happy gotcha day! #catsofbluesky

So is there enough to impeach yet or are Dems going to keep waffling like the soggiest of Eggos?

We all know ICE is a sack of suppurating assholes, but the fact that the LAPD is refusing to help them right now is... revelatory.

We report as the rain just reaches a steady pace: it is no storm, but it is not a small amount of water. The sky is so opaque that the vibrant blue of yesterday seems like a distant memory. The low whistle of the rain accompanies us through the day.

Thank you so much for your patience with (and sharing and support of!) all the advertising I had to do for our yearly fundraiser the last 2 weeks - I appreciate it so much! Now back to your regularly scheduled cute bird (and yak/dogs/etc) photos! Starting with: Cowbird on a Cow, News at 11

@gailsimone.bsky.social, have you been moonlighting as a busker?

I watched the new ep. Look, I expect deviations from the book, but some of the choices are UNCOMFORTABLE. One in this ep was downright repulsive. *sigh* Anyway, I think I'll wait and binge the rest. This 20 min eps ending in a cliffhanger shit is getting tedious. Are you THAT insecure of your fans?

please stop whatever you're doing and look at this coyote that the wildlife rehab center of MN posted. little grumpy baby.

I hate Skittering Season.

Viola: You either suffer from unnaturally high self-esteem or extreme self-loathing.

I haven't watched Doctor Who in ages, but just catching the edges of what's going now makes me glad I wandered off. That Community gif of the guy walking in with pizzas is mild in comparison to whatever the hell is going on in the Whoniverse. Condolences to those who need them.

pretending you were asking for more information was the best way to try to get the humans to realize they were doing something stupid.
