It snowed overnight. When I got home, Luna urgently wanted to investigate the porch. This is about as far as she made it (about a foot and a half), before deciding that warm toes are better than cold toes. #Caturday

The bots on Twitter are having a typical day...
According to some reports, more than half the accounts on that platform are bots. And it's run by a fascist. Very little of the speech that originates on that platform can be trusted.

I'm a published science fiction author and I have a Patreon, and I don't talk about it nearly often enough. For the low, low price of as little as $3/month, you can read a bunch of my stories all in one place!

I'm rarely surprised, but this is a new low in ethical conduct and I new high for being blatant AF about it. This is really, really bad-- even for a shitty company like Tesla.

This is all fine until the people you've blocked screenshot your tweets and post them on their social media to send harassment your way. Yes, there are also ways to get around the current block-- but Musk's Twitter shouldn't be making harassment easier.

Fun story this image reminds me of: when I was in my teens living in Portland I went through a goth phase. My mom, having zero knowledge of the goth subculture and being a huge history nerd, was really excited that I was interested in the Visigoths that sacked Rome... I had to explain the difference

Hey Newsweek, the concept that a good role model 'gets married and makes lots of babies' is about 75 years out of date. Please stop publishing opinion pieces from incel creeps and do better.

Cool chart but inaccurate. In Fairbanks we get 24 hours of DAYLIGHT, but we only get 22 or 23 hours of SUNLIGHT because the sun briefly dips below the northern horizon. Swapping 'daylight' for 'sunlight' would make this chart a lot more accurate.

Suggest a (healthy?) way to vent your frustration when you really really really don't like someone. I'll go first: make a curse figure of them!
