@bigzaphod Costco! I got two pairs for the price of one at the ophthalmologist’s and the selection was bigger.

Cat memories

My wife used to be an avid hula hooper and had just recently sewn a hoop huggie for transporting her collection of hoops. One day we couldn’t find Rigby anywhere. Then I saw this. 😹

@jeridansky It all just passed through our area. Thankfully the strongest storms missed us.

@Em0nM4stodon Jasper showing his concerned look.

This is Rigby. He’s my little buddy and I love him more than life itself. He’s a gold medalist lap cat and sweet to every human he encounters. However, he annoys the hell out of the other cats and near dinner time he just about loses his mind worrying if he’ll be fed. The vet said he was suffering from anxiety and that we should try a medication. My precious boy has now been on anti-anxiety drugs for a few weeks. The good news is that it’s helping but I’m really sad we didn’t try this sooner.😿

Jasper is giving me “the look”. Cats develop routines. Sometimes they develop these on their own, other times we influence these routines. In this case, Jasper is accustomed to getting a second breakfast because if we gave him all of his breakfast at once, he would throw it up. We’ve since found a new food that he is able to keep down but he still thinks he is owed his second breakfast. 🙄

@propublicaguild @ProPublica ProPublica just did more damage to their reputation than anyone on the outside ever could.

No sleep for me for the next couple of weeks. I’ve got these adorable little babies to look after. Their mother (stray) was sadly hit by a car. A kind woman who was, thankfully, aware of the litter called us immediately after finding the mother. They were massively hungry and a little hypothermic but now they are toasty warm with full bellies. It’s hard to tell but there are five of them in that huddle.

Momma cat, you rest in peace, I’ve got it from here.

@skinnylatte I love my Tom Bihn bags. I always go for the lightweight material options. My bags have traveled the world with me and still look new after a clean.

@jeremydebose You probably used the defaults command to alter the behavior of Safari.

Open Terminal and enter this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1

This will expose Safari's "Debug" menu. Under that debug menu, go to Media Flags, and then check if Disallow Inline Video is checked. This will stop videos from automatically playing when a page loads. Uncheck it and see if autoplay returns.

@karlykingsley.bsky.social @MaryAustinBooks I too was shocked at how pathetic of a march (and parade) that was. Putin must have been laughing his ass off. The lines weren’t straight, left/right was not coordinated. It looked so amateurish. It was so bad I wondered if these were actors? Silent protest would be amazing if true.

@richardgrant @renewedresistance @tchambers That’s a beautiful sight!

@coffeegeek 100%. When I was kid, I’d buy a new album, take it home and play it over and over on cheap Sears headphones. Music was and is so important to me. I promised myself then, that when I grew up, I’d have a quality audio set up. In 1988 I bought my first system. It wasn’t esoteric by any stretch but it sounded so good compared to anything I’d ever owned. Today I have an even nicer setup. Music becoming devalued and listening becoming a background activity is a loss for everyone.

@Em0nM4stodon I would like dumb cars to become popular again. You know, cars that the owner had to drive. Cars that didn’t collect mountains of data about you. Cars with knobs and buttons!

That may not be what you were looking for.

My neighbor's goofy cat George. He's a total love bug who craves human attention. He saw me in the back yard and came running over so we both hung out in the sun and soaked up some rays.

Look who I captured this morning! I’ve been observing a Barred Owl roosting on our patio at night. I am fairly certain it’s hanging out down there to pick off the song birds who sleep under the deck at night. That’s a grim thought but I am so excited to have caught it in the daylight watching me from its vantage point in a hickory tree. I was able to get this shot from the deck which put me at eye level.

#uspol it’s as if the United States has been taken over by a private equity firm. First they run it into the ground and then sell off the parts.
