Since my phone is blowing up, I guess the news has officially dropped.

Queen Mona now has a court jester. A few of you may recognize him.

A Plott hound sits majestically in her throne (ie, a hole she dug) while a white husky sits at her side, ears perked.

It's possible that the charges against Bolton are wildly improper in their transparently political motives and Trump's blatant interference, and also that he's factually guilty.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

On the record, I think sneering at these people that they’re somehow *bad* because they stayed on Twitter for this long is incredibly counterproductive

it’s great that more people have escaped the Mussolini Piss Hole and come to Bluesky actually, their numbers shall strengthen us

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 1d

judging from what I’m seeing right now, a large-scale Twitter Exodus Event is 100% what’s happening

good!

So uhh...I just impulsively decided to fact-check the official origin story for the pumpkin spice latte and it is A LIE or at least incorrect.

Starbucks claims to have invented it in 2003

But a coffee shop in Portland was selling them in 2001 (the earliest mention I can find)

Starbucks began developing the pumpkin spice latte in January 2003, following the success of winter beverages such as the peppermint mocha and eggnog latte. Peter Dukes, the company's Director of Espresso for the Americas, explained that developers recognized the appeal of pumpkin flavor, noting, "there wasn't anything around pumpkin at the time."[5] During development, Starbucks' team collaborated with food scientists to create four potential seasonal beverages...

The $100,000 bonus from Soros for just signing up is really nice!

I’ve created a dozen sock puppets already. I’d do more, but I don’t want to be greedy.

when willow pulled a houndini a couple months after we got her and was wandering all over the neighborhood ignoring me for over an hour because she was still deep in her distrust of men, i legit almost had a nervous breakdown

I grew up around cats and didn't like the neighbor's dog as a kid, so marrying my wife was a test of "love me, love my dog"

Jackson was a springer mix. He got out one day and ran all over the neighborhood.

I realized springers are bred to spring game. I whistled then ran home.

He beat me there.

I don't know if it is a universal for sled dogs but it sure works for Wickson!

Yet another piece of advice Q gave is if you aren't near a car, get his attention and then drop to the ground. Haven't tested that, but I have had success with getting attention and going the opposite direction.

another time wickson did run over there and ran around their garage and then started playing keepaway with something as he chomped it

the mom was like, well, that's what the kids get for leaving stuff around
