You might think, “Well, of course most cats are bigger than a chihuahua.” But you need to know that *this* is an extra-large chihuahua weighing ~12 lbs, so the cat is truly massive. An absolute unit.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.
(The album was already old by then, but I was very into prog rock in my late teens and early twenties.)

I am begging you to remember that the cringe youth slang you are using ironically to make fun of today WILL BECOME A PART OF YOUR EVERYDAY LANGUAGE TOMORROW. That's how it works! All usage etches it into the cement of our culture!

The spouse has nicknamed one of the cats “La Llorona” because of the way she drifts around the house wailing for no apparent reason. Anyway, that’s why I’m awake at 5am.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

“If everyone that came before me had just complied and complied and complied, I probably would have entered this theater, any theater, through a colored section. Every good thing you have in your life is a product of someone else’s struggle.”
This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers.
It is time to choose sides.

There’s a scene from the show iZombie that I think about a lot. A woman has been turned into a zombie and is trying to deal with it as best she can. And we find her still filling her bird feeders. 🧵

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.
Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.
They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.
