Do you remember where you have seen them before? I remember the face but not the where very well. I also don't bring it up unless at a conference and only then in a polite way to not seem like a creep!

No, in fact it made everything easier when it was sheering/farrier season because you could use the horns to politely control each goat. The worst thing was occassionally one got stuck in a fence, then the whole herd would run for a human to help get them out.

It is! I grew up with goats and we kept their horns, they never injured each other or themselves with them - which is the argument I always hear against keeping horns. Also, seeing a goat get to have a nice scritch on the back with the tip of their own horn was always a delight

More and more I am seeing "I would never use it for anything creative but I generative AI seems fine for coding" and I wonder if people realize that coding is also a creative field and the generated code is also coming from scraped and plagiarized human code, please don't give coding a special pass

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

That's Not What Unc Means You’d never know the meaning of unc or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media.

Photo I took of these wonderful people (the faces of whom I’ve blacked out) singing happy Birthday to their lovely old dog at a bar I was at tonight in Portland

I was at a dog-friendly bar in NW Portland tonight and a table behind me started singing Happy Birthday and then I realized it wasn’t for a person but a really old dog who was wearing a crown and he was old and fucking adorable and I love this city

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Angus Taylor,
My mother is rapidly approaching the end of her life, in aged care. This awful time is being made easier by the tender, thoughtful care by people from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Australia. How dare you talk about ‘Australian Values’ & reboot One Nation/Trump bs about migrants.

There is no pay grades up on the wall, no card machines, no aggressive signs saying you must pay before leaving - the reception staff are nicer for it and honestly so are the patients.

Also, everyrhing being free removes SO SO much stress from every step of the process. We go in for appointments, check in, get assigned our spot, treatment is done and if we are there over lunch we get free lunch. Then we check out, get the next appointment taxi vouchers (no car) and go home.

This is so wrong - going through this with public health care (everything is free) in our late 30s has meant we come through alive and debt free - our treatment costs will end up totalling around US$500k from what I gather, which is paid for by taxation.

In the 70s my parents went to get their first home loan, and discovered banks would not consider my Mums income (which was higher than Dads) as part of the process. So they shopped around and found a small, new and modern thinking bank that did. My Mum worked until she was 66ish, longer than Dad.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

A digital 4 panel comic. The first panel has a white cat that says "I try to be nice to everyone". The second panel has a black cat that replies with "ok now be nice to yourself." Third panel is the white cat staring in silence, and the fourth panel the white cat's expression changed into an angry one

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.
