After watching the two for a bit, the young one came up with a shellfish, perhaps a clam and started bonking it on their chest.

Then drama!

A sea gull stole it right out of paws!

Sea gulls are jerks.

Gulls gotta eat too, but boo!

#3GoodThingsToday

Took a walk for lunch today, weather was lovely.

Had tasty Colombian food for lunch.

Went for a bike ride with family in the afternoon.

'yote missed the bun bun for a snack. About a hundred feet away. Must have been down wind.

Shit happens. Shit is always happening. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes big and sometimes small.

For nations, that can be war, plague, natural disasters, failing infrastructure, whatever.

History has shown that with strong institutions, and civic systems, nations cushion the blow. Grain silos, transportation, military, all provide resilient systems.

Corrupt nations that lack these things fall apart, and can't handle the stuff that covers their way.

This is not a deep insight.

#3GoodThings

1) Kiddo passed their Wushu (Kung Fu) belt test, going from the advanced class to the Elite class (earning Red belt)

2) They got a gold stripe (excellent performance) as opposed to merely passing (black stripe). Only their second gold ever.

3) as is our tradition, we let the kid pick dinner location, and they opted for a fancy restaurant we've been to before, for special occasions, so w00t, tempting us with things we want.

Most #cats I've had don't like to be under blankets. They would go under furniture, but that was more like a cave. The box thing, feeling walls around a few sides for security.

But this one will actively dig under blankets and sheets. It's not a temperature thing. She just seems to like to burrow.

I'm sick today, and have a furry buddy snoozing with me. Kind of nice and makes the sick more bearable.

I prefer Oxford Comma Separated Values.

Lawful good: fixing broken printers and office machines.

Neutral good: putting "out of order" signs on broken printers and office machines.

Chaotic good: putting googly eyes on printers and office machines.

Chaotic evil: putting a sign saying "voice activated" on printers and office machines.

@hacks4pancakes @KatMA my son has been doing Wushu for a few years, and I love watching him go through his forms. He's always been physical, but watching him hone his focus has been amazing.

US Markets: you should compete on price and performance.

Deepseek: Hold my tea.

US Markets: No, not like that.

Oooh. Hope you like it. I listened to them in audio book format and enjoyed it.

They are only loosely linked in the same universe. A minor character in the first book becomes a major character in the second.

A different minor character from the first book, barely a mention, is the link to the third book.

And likewise, the fourth weaves in yet an other.

Finished the 4th book in the Becky Chambers "Wayfarer" series. Strong recommend for "cozy sci-fi". Good tonic for <waves hands vaguely around at everything>.

The sapients are kind, the stories small and intimate and what I needed right now.

What should I read next?

I feel seen by this rant.

Lugging big CRTs to someone's house, fighting with firewall antivirus to allow the games to connect. StarCraft to all hours of the morning with too much caffeine.

Everyone who confuses correlation with causation eventually dies!

Stay safe out there.

Reminds me of

Copied from a friend's discord.

The intersection of #RTO and the recent concern of CEOs around the healthcare shooting.

This. Fame and credit for the good folks. Ignominy and quiet forgetting for the bad actors. They want fame. Deny it to them.

I love stories like this where they get to the FO portion of the show.

@skinnylatte

I always wondered about the HR department at the bad guys evil lair at the volcano Island with all the tech and office workers.

So they have 401k and dental?

Are there budget fights if they should build the 100 or 200 megawatt orbital Death Ray?

Do they use Jira projects?

Do they have "destroyed by super spy" insurance?
