Of these four pairs of shoes, which two pairs do you think are the lowest in quality?

Make a choice before opening this thread. Then I'll tell you something about shoe quality. 🧵

Four pairs of brown loafers are sitting on top of a rug. The first pair is relatively matte; the second pair is also matte, but has uneven wrinkling; the third part is relatively matte; the fourth pair is very shiny.

I was going to try sketching while I soaked my feet, but that's hard to do when a cat takes my lap. Oh well. Later. #personal #TheCount

Photo of a blanket-covered lap and a long-haired black tabby sitting on it. He's not facing the camera because he's busy washing his side.

Same cat, now getting scritches on his neck and under chin area

And also scritches on his jawline on one side of his face

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Here's a weird observation about the No Kings rallies and Tetris.

Stick with me, I promise it will make sense.

Everyone's talking about the rabid wine moms fueling yesterday's protests and how it caught Very Online political types off guard, like this joke making the rounds:

Cringe Maoist Larper
"Uhhh have you considered the economic anxiety of those poor Trump voters?"

Nicole, Suburban Mum and successful corporate lawyer
"Every Republican alive is an affront to God"

At the risk of posting feet to the internet.... Tonight is an epsom salts footbath kind of night. Be kind to yourself. #personal

Hey, that's my alma mater! The Exponent was around when I was a student too, and the rivalry with IU has always been big - and sometimes ugly. I'm so pleased to see this is the current relationship, though. Good on them. >rt #personal

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

For anyone else who uses Firefox and has been trying to figure out how to disable all the AI features: windowsreport.com/firefox-now-...

(Also, along with all the rest of these steps, if you right click on an image & get offered an AI chatbot, you can hover over that offer to remove the chatbot.)

Firefox now lets you disable AI — just not regular users

Mozilla now lets enterprises disable AI in Firefox. Regular users must rely on hidden about:config tweaks instead of a simple switch.

Gonna toss Magnetic Rose into your already extensive list. It deserves a space.

+1 to Cloud Atlas and to Scavenger's Reign (a series but short).

And for series... I still enjoy Firefly, and to go long form, Farscape really is a big fav too.

Ooo, second Dark City! Great movie, did some really neat things that I see echoed in other movies after it.

the whole article could have just been ten pages of “Brilliant Things Eleanor O’Brien Said,” and some gold was left on the cutting room floor, but this is such a banger of a closer and it’s so very much the theme of today

"I want people to know that what's happening in Portland - the creativity, the irreverence, the refusal to be intimidated - that's replicable," she says. "Every city has artists. Every community has weirdos. We just need to find each other and start creating the alternative story. The revolution doesn't have to look like a protest.
Make it weird. When they tell you to cover up, shut up, and comply, the most radical thing you can do is be visible, speak truth, and take up space. With joy. Tap into your creativity. Art isn't a luxury in times like these - it's survival."
