Snake punting was accidental. Thought is was a hose. The bear though? Never told a bunch of summer campers to put down their pellet rifles and stay quiet faster....

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

- Bottlenose Dolphin
- Brown Bear
- Bobcat
- Swainson's Hawk
- Eastern Rat Snake

Like Howard's, decreasing distance....the dolphin was the only one I was a. In a vehicle for, and b. More than a few hundred feet from.
Punted the dang snake.

I can't believe I actually saw this, in Texas of all damn places. I could even see it with my bare eyes, at least as a reddish blob

Milo the fox kid: PROTECT TRANS KIDS

Milo has something to say, and he feels strongly about it.

I love my dog. He has, apparently, the same behavioral reaction when I am practicing German as when I am irritated (trying to find the solution to the problem and asking his mom to help). I feel like this is an observation about German, as I am generally in a good mood....

TFW you both distinctly hear, and channel, Stephen Root. RIP, dogwoods....

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Like there's a tiny inner part of me that sees this and wants to scream "tree law!!" fruitlessly. 😩

The Epstein Files are BAD bad.

Logarrhea?

So watching Critical Role season 4, first full Crit Role watch so not as familiar. Loving the Halloween costumes this week. I feel like Taliesin Jaffe is just here as himself, and his look the rest of the time is a costume. And Liam O'Brien looks like a REALLY SUPPORTIVE DAD here for his scene kid.

I didn't think I needed an "always repost the Nazi bar story" but it feels like it bears repeating far too often.

A screenshot of a New York Times morning newsletter, showing a politics section. There are 4 bullet points, referring to massive protests, JD Vance's visit to a misery base, the release of victims of naval bombings, and the federal shutdown. Of these, the massive protests is the smallest, a single blurb and a link.

The fact is, after a day of international, peaceful protests, answered by police brutality (Broadview) and presidential response that from anyone else would have spark a decade of commentary, THIS was the primary coverage from on of the largest papers in the US, buried under MLB.

It's depressing.

This. I literally bought Torchwood last month because it's impossible to stream now. And why I get ohysical games, movies, and books whenever I can

You know, there's a trope I think is funny in media. Actors' playing characters so beyond their polar opposites it's not even funny. It's just sad when the opposite personality is fucking Superman. Cain should be embarrassed to even mention the character.

The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband have both died.

New Crow Time update [1/3]

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are out and about, peering at something in the distance. Blue is watching it with a pair of binoculars. Green: I used to move a lot, I never got attached to any place. Where I lay my head is home. Holding the binoculars in his teeth, Blue turns to look at Green. Blue: I can't even sleep in a place that doesn't feel like home. Blue offers the binoculars to Green, who takes them. Green: I know. Raising the binoculars to his own eyes, Green peers towards whatever Blue was just looking at. Green: My home is anywhere you feel at home.

Unforgivable.

No amount of apologies from this man will suffice.

He cannot be allowed to stay in office.

He is an unqualified eugenicist.

Also an idiot.

Apparently everything in my life is a massive hallucination. When do I get to not pay my taxes again?

Remembering the dead and working to bring about better tomorrows is mandatory.

Forgetting the dead is an obscenity.

Not a drag queen.
Not a trans person simply trying to exist in peace.

This is who comes after your children: Republican men who hide behind a cross and wrap themselves in the flag.

We need to protect our kids from Justin Eichorn and people like him who prey on them.

Share the media.
The news is compromised.
We're starting to boil over.

There is a piece of me that is still mildly amused that a large Fan Expo (Megacon), and a huge international HVAC trade show, shared the same convention hall back to back. Like many of these shows, a LOT of trade industry employees showed up the day before to set up. I've heard of some confusion...

Realizing how the internet and written word can be, that was intended as stunned incredulity/exploding brain.

Um....they were real??
