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!!!!!

Picture of the face on view of a labrador and golden retriever mix with its tongue out and looking at the camera. There is a Velfast 25cm cone around encircling the dog's head with the (correct) conclusion being the dog is wearing the cone.

As context, the cone is a protective measure used to prevent dogs from biting or licking injuries in a way that would hamper recovery from that injury.

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....

how *would* you explain this. "imagine if the only company making serious investments in JavaScript was, like, Mailchimp, and the language's only killer app/framework was written by JK Rowling, whose own business was utterly insignificant"

is there a good explainer out there for the Ruby Central stuff for somebody not very familiar with the ecosystem?

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?!?!?”

Yeah, neither do I.
