So this is true- this spheal was a gift from @thevowel.bsky.social and was not supposed to be a dog bed.
At some point the three house gremlins claimed it and no matter how many times I took it away it was the only bed they wanted.
It no longer re fluffs to a remotely round shape 🤣😭

The dog appears to be sleeping on the 450 dollar Spheel plush from Pokemon Center, so I think he's having a great time.
This dog…🤣

My main question after reading this is what's the process for stripping tenure at Harvard?
When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein.

Reminder: Neither Whiskey Pete nor Trump have the authority to change the name of a department created by Congress.
It's still "Department of Defense" and his title is "Secretary of Defense", not "War".
He doesn't need your help to change all the signs and paperwork.

Soooo, the Coast Guard was started by Alexander Hamilton in 1790, and originally called the Revenue Cutter Service. Cutters being the type of ships…
Our original job was armed customs enforcement service, but over time took on more jobs. (Even back then Coasties couldn’t say no)

Well yeah, who wants a ship that’s going to cut revenue?
In 1926 USCGA made the bear its mascot, supposedly because the bear is “bold and tenacious.” Also because that year the Revenue Cutter Bear, one of the most famous CG cutters in our history, was decommissioned.

Don’t let it make you complacent heading into the midterms. Imagine feeling this good, maybe even better, again.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

But yikes. Not a good look for the lock company at all. This will be a case study for class next week 🤣

So, @oceanbound.bsky.social - is it a real good idea to sue soneone who picks your company's lock after you issue a challenge about the lock's tougness?

10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him. Bad idea.
It’s still legal to pick locks, even when you swing your legs.
