Naming my security company after the giant evil eye that, crucially, was too distracted to see the actual threat sneaking in

Spanish greyhounds Guru and Rifão cuddling atop a fake leather couch. A Blåhaj plushie is nearby. Rifão rests his head atop of Guru

I need to know, did you manage to sneak greyhounds into any of your comics @gailsimone.bsky.social ? Galgo tax attached.

Gail knows this, but let me make it clear why those weirdos bring it up:

1. It's a working class job
2. Generally stereotyped as being done by women and queer people

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

My orange kitten Teddy half laying on a cat tree platform while his back legs dangle off. My sister’s black cat Celly is also on the platform and looks like he just took my boy out

There has been a murder

Heute wird eine ganz Große des Basketballs runde 40 Jahre alt: Candace Parker 🥳
Die 1.93m große Frontcourt-Spielerin gewann nahezu alles, was es zu gewinnen gibt...ob in Europa, der WNBA oder auf internationalem Parkett 🏆

I try to spend a few hours a month browsing digital dystopias like r/AIWritingHub just to keep tabs on the progressing flood of shit drowning the web.

This is a typical post from there:

"I’m struggling to get my AI to write fiction that doesn’t feel like a robot wrote it."

Actually it might be the Pan of Hormuz. We should not restrict Hormuz to a binary preference of open or closed. There's a vast spectrum of partial openness/closedness that Hormuz may want to explore.

eventually he was executed

“Love and kindness are the most punk thing you can do right now," David Byrne quoting writer / actor John Cameron Mitchell at #Coachella. “He’s right. Love and kindness are a form of resistance.”

Amen.

"Silly little Hormuz can't decide if it is open or closed"

In the current #NBA environment, would you rather have Okongwu for 15.5M a year or JJJ for 51M?

"Dead Ball Contact" in that context is a great choice of words

I think most of us working in IT have delivered hotfixes at least as janky as the Iowa/Florida one in #DCC Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Dialogue like his is a clear indicator of capital L Literature

“Did... did you just rip your dick off and throw it at me?”

“I’m going to do it again if you don’t let me in.”

The galgos Rifão and Guru playing tug of war with a Blåhaj in the living room. In the background two black cats are sitting on top a TV cabinet and a Siamese cat is sitting atop an Xbox, mostly hidden behind a TV showing part of the loading screen of Diablo IV

There's so much going on here 😂

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

3 Southern California residents sentenced in bear suit insurance fraud scheme Three Southern California residents have been sentenced in a bizarre insurance fraud scheme which prosecutors say involved them staging fake bear attacks on high-end cars.

"bear suit insurance fraud"

been on the internet long enough to develop instincts for this type of post. i read the first sentence, thought "oh this is one of those where i should read the last sentence first huh" and felt like the worlds biggest genius.

I truly hate when little Right Wing Hitler youth open their mouths and give opinions in their over sized fake glasses, that they think will make them seem smart ,on things they know nothing about.

But listen to a real farmer rip her apart.

Sintopia Makes Managing Hell Absolute Heaven Sintopia brings something surprising to the management sim formula.

this game came out and feels like a sleeper tycoon hit so far but there's like zero coverage! www.thegamer.com/sintopia-rev...

Yeah, when 4th edition made that change, my thought was "OK I understand why they did this from the perspective of not having to run a whole other session for the decker the night before, but nobody would ever add wifi to X," and then every year, it becomes prophetic for at least 5 new values of X.

If you can think of a better way to make my famous Fresca ramen, I'd like to hear it

I’m really discomforted by the idea of a water fountain offering the option for “hot grapefruit water.” Like the world’s most disappointing hot toddy that also mixes poorly with medications.
