Our friend is a dog walker. He makes a point of encouraging dogs to shit in our yard and sends us action shots.

@skullisland1919 Had futons I liked, got a US king size mattress and box spring for me, my partner, comprehensive pillow collection and 1-3 cats.

Hated the mattress, it wrecked my spine.

Got a cheap IKEA latex mattress; good concept, poor execution.

Now have good latex, it's worth it for us.

Elder Kathy Hamelin cries at @CityofEdmonton special meeting on housing & homelessness. She told me, ‘they (city officials) know what they’re doing. They know.’
60 percent of the unhoused here are Indigenous.

Inventor of the Dishwasher: I HAVE CREATED SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE ALL YOUR LIVES EASIER.

Humanity: WHOA. So we just put dirty dishes in and it cleans them?

IoDW: Um, no. You need to wash them first.

H: Uh...

IoDW: Not thoroughly. Just, like, what you'd do if you were drunk.

Imagine guessing correctly in 1968 that it would be easier to invent an entire new branch of technology to synthesize arbitrary resolution digital images than it would be to go back to the moon with a better camera

On "sandwich standing":

"I was preparing a sandwich this morning. And I had prep to the bread with mayo and mustard. I was frying a turkey burger that I bought. To my delight when I turned around from the stove, Swizz was standing with all four feet in my mustard and mayonnaise"

Our cat sitter has reported in on our lad Swizz. Sounds like he's mellowed in our absence

@ChelseaHerps Excellent picture. That Roti is a real looker!

being in NYC always forces me to grapple with big, existential questions like:

is this the only city with the infrastructure to let Spider-Man be Spider-Man?

Hey hey some good news! Refreshing.

Major victory. The Supreme Court has told Florida that its drag ban will stay blocked from enforcement in the state. The law has been found likely unconstitutional by several courts so far.

This is a victory for drag as well as trans Floridians and Pride events.

Yeah maybe your crocs also have spittle bugs. That’s why they have all that spit on them probably

@MustelidDwyer I disturbed a ground nest of yellow jackets. Before I saw even one, they were inside my shirt and stinging me. I thought it was thorns from a large rose initially, didn't realize until a sting on the back of my neck something was properly wrong, and I started running.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

Well,
