Also, not sure why the picture is so dark... it shows up fine in Preview (which I used to export it from texts). Very strange.
Vet sent us home with some anti-inflammatories and pain meds to make her more comfortable.

She trips and falls and gets meds. I trip and fall and I get called a klutzy bastard!

Life is not fair!!! UNFAIR I SAY!!!!!
Took her into the vet yesterday evening after she took a tumble. Turns out it's nothing serious; slight inflammation (possibly because of the fall) and a small wound on her rear foot. Because of the wound, she gets THE CONE OF SHAME!!!!!
I’m betting it doesn’t do anything for tinnitus. Happy to lose that bet.

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
My pivot to audiobooks is an explicit move to avoid podcasts containing current events. I used to confidently declare it's better to be knowledgeable and unhappy than ignorant and happy.

I'm more knowledgeable than past me and I have some feedback....

Dammit! I just got to work and now my screen is all blurry!

I love Bit Brigade and loved watching them perform Legend of Zelda and Castlevania in person.

I also think @magfest.org should have chosen a different musical guest.
You are either a fool, a stooge, or both. Step down so someone can lead who understands democracy is more important than decorum and people are more important than donations.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social as a sustaining member of @opb.org I'm extremely disappointed that you and @npr.org chose to platform the book tour of one of the folks that lead to your organization being defunded.

Why should I keep funding NPR if they keep bringing this nonsense to my breakfast table?
I hate it when autocorrect does that! Keeps changing “I love you, sweetie” to “WHY ARE YPU THREATENING ME?!?!?”

Technology is weird!
Been a while since I reread this. Good thing I have the hard cover on my bookshelf. Thanks for the reminder!

What do you mean… you have “registered” for the protest???

As they say, love the writer (@monteiro.bsky.social), hate the topic.

Aside from one year a decade ago, I've been doing my best to stay out of the "Building The Torment Nexus" business for a couple decades. Not a perfect record, but the world and I both ain't perfect.

@gameonysus.bsky.social dropping truth bombs. My initial intro to Waypoint/Remap was @patrickklepek.bsky.social guest starring on MinnMax. I loved @gameonysus.bsky.social being an unapologetic Horizon-stan there and her presence tipped me over to be a library tier member. #DontStopNKeepDroppin

Remember when all those Republican governors ordered flags to be flown at half-mast to honor the lives of MN state senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette?

Yeah, neither do I.
