This is... weird. It tastes almost fishy. Unfortunately I don't like fish. 😐
A pot of Turkish Kitchen dip. It is Feta + smokey garlic with smoked paprika.

But he's been begging for treats, and is snoring at my feet now, so it's all worth it.

Fucking hell, this is awful. We've been to two vets already today, I don't know what else to do. Video is rubbish, but the sound is the important bit.

This is not how I wanted to start my Saturday. Loki's breathing sounds terrible and he's very restless. A/H vet thought laryngeal paralysis, our regular vet thinks it's a heart issue.
How to spend nearly $600 before lunch. 🫤
Ultrasound later in the week to look at his heart. 😢

There was a whole bunch of them.

If you're looking for a dip that bites back, this stuff is lovely. And quite spicy, even with the jalapeños well mixed in!
Top view of unopened Obela zesty jalapeño hommus. It's in a clear bowl with a clear lid except for the outer edge being red. Label is green with white text and images of 2 green jalapeño peppers and a few chickpeas. Weight is 220 grams. Same dip, now opened. It is creamy hommus-coloured, with a pile of chopped green jalapeño peppers in the middle, and 8 patches of reddish spice around the outside.

I laughed at this clickbait headline and the subsequent article:
Spoiler: it did not, in fact, surprise me at all.

Here's a soggy Loki sploot from a few days ago.
Loki, a black Newfoundland dog, is doing a sploot on the floor. He's wet from being out in the rain, and has a tiny bit of pink tongue showing.

What’s it like inside your head?

Chonky birb is back, having a good nom on the tender new leaves. Apologies for the terrible pic quality, I had to use max zoom through the window because I didn't want to stand up and scare it off.

Hahaha once when our Newfoundland girl was going to doggy daycare the groomers must have been having a slow day, because Elly came home with ribbons in her hair. She just loved the attention though.
Elly, a black Newfoundland dog, with pink and green ribbons in her hair. She's doing a sploot on cream carpet. Her amber-coloured eyes are doing weird things with the camera flash.

Anyone would be be better at procuring boats than Thicky Willis.
Picture pun. At the top is a tugboat with a red cabin, on smooth water. "Tugboat". At the bottom is a brown and white goat standing in a grimy bathtub, which sits in a green and grown paddock. "Tubgoat".

I just noticed that DuckDuckGo now includes AI images in search results by default. It's easy to turn off in both desktop and mobile browsers, so keep an eye out for it if you don't want to see AI slop! (Random search term so I could include a screen shot.)
Screenshot of images of various types of brightly-coloured ice cream in search results from DuckDuckGo. There is a yellow button at the right with the word 'NEW' and the text 'AI images: hide' with a down arrow, which has opened a menu for 'Show' and 'Hide' options, with a caveat below which reads 'Block list is not exhaustive and may contain inaccuracies. Learn More [links to https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/how-to-filter-out-ai-images-in-duckduckgo-search-results ]."

This is who runs this account:
Image of a space cow from the Mass Effect video game. Space cows are orange-and-white herbivores with orange irises, four legs, and two small arm-like forelimbs with two fingers each. Text alongside image reads: The Shifty Looking Cow is a Space Cow found on the planet Ontarom, in the Newton system of the Kepler Verge. It roams near the southwestern corner of the operational area, near a deposit of gold. An otherwise normal member of the species, talking to it also does nothing. However, on seeing Commander Shepard, it starts following them around. On reaching a close enough distance, it steals the Spectre's credits slowly. As long as Shepard doesn't turn around to face it, the cow continues its activities whether it's stalking Shepard or siphoning their money.

WTF is this?! 😲😕
A Facebook ad for Temu Australia. The image is a woman's face with her hand partially raised, as if it shock. The mouth is being held open with some fake lips and a mouthpiece that appears designed to facilitate forced fellatio.
