We had a new cat showing up at our house looking for food (we feed a feral cat as part of a municipal programme). My wife made a post this morning on a Facebook lost pet group, owner showed up a couple of hours later.
Facebook might be slop, but that group is useful.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

New finds in Turkey's southeast add to picture of Neolithic age

I prefer chocolate cake to pies, but having pies is also nice. (Cookies are also great, but they are in the snack food group, not the dessert food group.)

The greatest technical minds of our generation have mustered their genius to come up with recipes that bake cakes for four freaking hours.
"An AI-assembled version of Gargano’s Christmas cake, for instance, would have people cooking a 6-inch cake for 3 to 4 hours at 320°F (160°C).
'You’d end up with charcoal!' she said. Meanwhile, traffic to her turkey recipe is already down 40% year over year."

Lots of people on Reddit were in disbelief about all the positive REM videos, thinking it was a CDPQ conspiracy.
No, people really do like transit that much. You just don’t follow it when it happens in other cities.
And on top of that, the REM really is a particularly exciting project!
