a second republican has been rizzed up by livvy
the dude from the "Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or has he just been rizzed up by Livvy" TikTok and he's leaning in to whisper in George W. Bush's ear. I'm sorry, I realise this image description doesn't help anything make sense but this is kind of the joke I was trying to make

found one of my old business cards
A printed business card from Lotus Corp, for “Mitchell D. Kapor, Founder”. This has all been scribbled over in red pen; in the remaining space has been scrawled, “YOZ GRAHAME, yoz@yoz.com”

This is Koko right after my partner found her (aged… about 5 weeks, we think) being peered over by Scarlett (aged 4) who isn’t sure what this fluffy thing is but knows she needs to look after it
A small orange kitten sleeps in the corner of a blue couch. There is a small brown & white dog (chihuahua mix) sniffing at the kitten. The dog is in someone’s lap, and this person is petting the kitten.

I would like from you a FISH ON THE NOSE in the Haight
A man with a beard, his face obscured by the hood of the onesie he is wearing, that makes him look somewhat like a seal. There are Guinness flags and a view of the street in the background.

A STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS BEAST WITH AN UNCANNY POLITICAL SIXTH SENSE FOR THINGS THAT YOU AND I CAN ONLY GUESS AT ! Panel 2: The basselope continues sitting there. Panel 3: The basselope’s ears suddenly shoot outwards and upwards with a “ZING!” Panel 4: The basselope says to Milo Bloom, passing by: “Gary Hart has ended his celibacy.” Bloom responds: “Beg pardon?”

getting such a ridiculous rush of nostalgia right now
Screenshot of text from a Wikipedia article: "Einar Örn Benediktsson (born 29 October 1962), often billed as Einar Örn, is an Icelandic singer and trumpet player. He was a member of the Sugarcubes. He served as a member of the Reykjavík City Council between 2010 and 2014." Screenshot of text from a Wikipedia article: "He also worked in concert promotion (two Björk shows, The Prodigy, Fugees and Massive Attack) and co-founded Reykjavík's first cybercafe The Siberia Cafe: 'We were too early. Those who knew what it was all about preferred to do their Internet hacking at home." Einar worked for the Reykjavík Arts Festival before moving back to London in late 1997 to set up OLI's Web sites: "I saw this gap, which I could fill. It's always good to get a new perspective." Screenshot of text from a Wikipedia article: "In 2005 Ghostigital signed with the California-based label Ipecac Recordings co-founded by Faith No More singer Mike Patton. Their first Ipecac release, In Cod We Trust, was released in March 2006.[8] On this record Einar's son Kaktus (currently frontman of Fufanu) plays trumpet. It also features contributions from Mark E Smith, Sensational, Ásgerður Júníusdóttir and KatieJane Garside."

I love random game tips almost as much as game bugs
Screenshot of a Reddit comment in a thread, by user SpikeDawgill. Text reads: All I know for the car radio is to keep an eye on the last choice. Eventually it will show set to the correct time. Click that to get the yeast to build the slot receiver. The doorknob is found in aisle 37, but make sure to stop and drink at the oasis first. To get to Bo Jackson the quickest way is to dog paddle in the clothing pool. From there you can go the home world and get to one of the good endings to the game. You can also get to that ending if you fight the rock band with the Deku Stick and make Jon apologize for calling you a nimrod.

Joey Valence & Brae released a joyously silly & danceable album last year and this, honest to god, was the cover
The cover of Joey Valence & Brae’s 2024 album “No Hands”. They like a pair of nu-metal skater punks from, I dunno, the mid 90s? It is quite deliberately silly

Screenshot of a YouTube video entitled "Yes, Your Error Messages Can Be Beautiful And Developers Can Love Them -- Yoz Grahame". It's a slide presentation, and the current slide is headed "Bugs cost momentum". It shows a series of pictures of a car crashing into a wall.

Sure, but the primary driver of increase is AI, not population growth. From www.iea.org/news/ai-is-s... :
Screenshot of text: The lEA's special report Energy and Al, out today, offers the most comprehensive, data-driven global analysis to date on the growing connections between energy and Al. The report draws on new datasets and extensive consultation with policy makers, the tech sector, the energy industry and international experts. It projects that electricity demand from data centres worldwide is set to more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh), slightly more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan today. Al will be the most significant driver of this increase, with electricity demand from Al-optimised data centres projected to more than quadruple by 2030.

Yesterday morning my partner found a tiny kitten in the front yard

it has already consumed our day, my daughter’s heart, and over a hundred dollars (look, SOMEONE has to budget this)

(apparently, among all of us, I am the most keen to find the previous owner)
Photo of a small orange tabby kitten asleep on a blue couch. A small brown and white dog sniffs at the kitten. A young girl, mostly out of shot, has one hand on the dog and the other stroking the kitten.

COMMITMENT TO THE BIT, BABY

A selfie of two guys taken from the corner of Jamaica Avenue, New York City. On the facing corner there is a Taco Bell which still has a small Pizza Hut logo sign above it (yes, really, it’s there)

try guessing which wikipedia page this is
Screenshot of a Wikipedia page, at the start of the “Analysis” section. It shows an engraving of a Roman man wearing a laurel wreath, followed by this quote: “For when our audience find it a pleasure to listen, their attention and their readiness to believe what they hear are both alike increased, while they are generally filled with delight, and sometimes even transported by admiration.” —Quintilian, Institutio Oratoria, 8. 3.5 At the bottom of the screenshot is the first few words of a paragraph: “The journal New Literary History called it”
