About 45% of pet ownership is walking by them and badly singing little songs that integrate their names. If you can’t do this, then I’m sorry, you are not ready for the responsibilities of owning a pet.
This is Chewy. He loves to help his grandma garden. She can’t kneel down to dig holes anymore, but that’s his favorite part, so they're a perfect team. 14/10 (TT: chewythenewfie)
Looking through one of the four windows of the Orion spacecraft, a tiny crescent Earth is illuminated against the blackness of space and grows smaller as the crew journeys closer to the Moon. Part of the window edge is visible; the rest is darkness. [Alt-text slightly revised from ESA/NASA version]

Bluesky and Twitter have both become hard to use for me because global news and sentiment toward tech are both so depressing lately. It's getting harder to find good things to focus on, IMO.
Started another CS grad course today. It's a blockchain course and I can't say I'm super duper interested but I needed something to take to fill in a requirement. The worst part is that it's a team-based course project... I don't love that.

I'm getting pretty close to one month since I quit vaping! Feeling pretty good about that.
I've been watching the show Taskmaster (it's like a British gameshow with comedians) and it's a nice little break from the harshness of reality lately. Would recommend. 20 free seasons on Youtube.
China’s latest energy data offers a signal worth paying attention to. In 2025, emissions from energy and industry fell by 0.3%, modest, but notable, even as total energy consumption rose by 3.5%.
The key driver? A continued surge in solar power capacity.
Where I live, a strange number of businesses saw Cybertrucks and went "YUP that's how I want to advertise!" so now there's a ton of branded ones in weird colors driving around.
I don't like it.
Just a little reminder that post policing sucks. No one is the arbiter of what is and is not okay to post or discuss, no matter what is happening in the world.
People are allowed deal with the horrors in their own way, in their own time, without being shamed.

I quit vaping almost three weeks ago and haven't picked it up or taken it out of my drawer once. The cravings are pretty much entirely gone at this point. FeelsGoodMan
I can give you a billion reasons why UBI (Universal Basic Income) should exist within our society.
One of the biggest is that without it…abusive employers are allowed to exist.
Exist?!? Hell, they fucking flourish.
I can't find my MTG decks and I think I threw them away when I was letting my ex help me clean shit out of my room. Damn.
Regrets.
