Hello similarly active social people… figured I should come back to this…

I couldn’t get a photo directly but do love that I could see the eclipse in a lens flare. :)

Also, continuing #arachtober, here’s a wolf spider with a lot of hatchlings… :)

This is my therapy dog, Miro. Half the time he gives me therapy, and the other half of the time he makes me need it. :)

TIL… there’s another class of arachnid I’d never even heard of… off to Wikipedia to learn more :)

My guess was a crab of some sort… following for the answer :)

Okay, happy #Arachtober! The last four I’ve seen are a wolf spider, two types of orb weavers, and a deer tick. Share those eight legged beauties!

I gotta say, I’m loving what the #GoStars are doing so far this season. Good job kicking it into high gear for us @dallasstarsvic.bsky.social :)

Sky is pretty cool tonight :)

Yo, @twopipe.bsky.social when did you get here? :)

I do but it has to be a democracy that’s fair. This democracy I don’t consider us to have much of a democracy right now.

Of course not. He’s right for the wrong reasons. Case in point, the winner of 2 of the last 6 presidential elections (by electoral college) lost by number of votes. :-/

I’m impressed by the improvements in AI, but until it’s embedded in a microwave to perfectly pop a bag of popcorn without burning any of it I’m saying it still has some improvement to make.

No matter what else happens today I took this photo so I’m calling it a win overall.

Help me with this, because I’m having a hard time with it… has there ever been a time where historically (50+ years later, for the sake of discussion) the people advocating for banning books were right? I can’t think of any for the life of me. Seems to be a good “bad idea” indicator to me.

Friend just passed this on, haven’t played yet but now I have some new plans… #TwinPeaks #IntoTheNight

I’ll be honest, my first thought was “wow, so the xenomorph face hugger isn’t science fiction anymore?”

I (perhaps mistakenly) thought they were one time use things… you could make the statements before receiving any single relevant order, then stop once you’ve received one (because you can’t be compelled to lie), but then can’t do anything similar going forward?

Would like to see the original source of this, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s accurate.
