as always the correct way to treat a Trump nominee is ‘disqualified by virtue of getting the nomination’

if they claim to be anything other than a stooge they are lying and everyone knows it

Guinness the black cat dangles upside down from his favourite armchair, his eyes wide and staring and his vampire teeth showing.

GOOD MORNING WORLD

I HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY

Grumman sent North American an invoice for towing after Apollo 13!

I suspect you'd have allowed it.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Your timeline has been blessed by hella chonky spam musubi!

I'm about to bless my own timeline.

A rectangular plastic box sitting on a sheet of seaweed.

Two slices of SPAM in a skillet.

Arrangements have been made. The rice cooker is doing its thing.

Emergency kitten- rasslin

Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, laying on his back in a sunny windowsill. His head presses against the ground and his canine teeth peek out from gravity. Behind him is a black cat in a yellow cat bed. Next to him is another tabby cat. Fish's body is curled to fit himself in between them, and his front paws are tucked towards his body.

Fishtopher in the same position as the last photo, but now has his front legs stretched out. He shows off his underbelly.

oooh big stretch

Pain is the body's equivalent of a check engine light, and mine has been on so long that the bulb has burned out.

When I was a kid in rural England, we had a guy land his helicopter out behind the chicken shed to ask for directions. They don't need much space.

Gadget the void, peeking out for a bookshelf, next to binders.

Gadget is helping me organize gaming shelves, by which I mean he is very much in the way.

Brass snail

Brass snail mesuring tape

The best thing ive ever found in a garadge sale, a snail that is also a mesuring tape

This is an awesome book, and the start of a great collection!

My current hyperfixation WIP has the working title "How to steal a space station (and make sure nobody gets hurt in the process)".

Looking closely, that is waxed canvas, and it does look great.

That's not leather, it's a woven textile. Looks like old waxed cotton. It would definitely work in leather, but that garment isn't leather.

Step away from the lathe, please.

Well, at least he's making the rest of his life miserable.

Vulnerable populations keep tabs in this respect, & it isn't pettiness; it's self-preservation. You NEED to know who REALLY has your back, and who's just pretending.

Watching who eagerly stampeded in to kiss the ring during the opening salvo of Project 2025? That won't be forgotten anytime soon.

jared leto long dark hair beard.

gaius baltar character long hair beard same guy basically.

anything Jared Leto was cast in should have been played by that Gaius Baltar actor (James Callis). same age and maybe I'm not supposed to say this but look that's clearly the same guy

This also explains his general hatred of theme parks. Dude was too tall to safely ride a roller coaster.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Love these weird little guys.

Even if it's lethal, they should let you mess with things if they're telling you not to mess with them.

There are some surprisingly obscure names on my "outlive so I can piss on their grave" list. I yearn for the day Don Grundmann no longer needs the "we don't believe one bit of this nonsense" disclaimer in the voter information pamphlet.

I don't get how the dopamine hit of "finally getting working code out of the machine" isn't massively outweighed by the dopamine hit of "figuring out how to solve a hard problem and feeling your coding skills expand in real time". That's the dragon I want to chase.

Waitasec. Is this Walmart courting trans shoppers? Or is it a Texas-local store my Californian ass doesn't recognize? I need to know how hard to be laughing my ass off.
