@sarahtaber No kidding. At least my neighbors have the decency to send their adorable 7-year-old over with tears in her eyes as she begs, "Please help!" and thrusts the kittens at me.

@the_etrain Our plumber used to say, "You know, you could fix this yourself." And I would say, "If more couples called in professionals first, more marriages would remain intact."

@fesshole I volunteer for a pet rescue group, and I've had potential adopters tell me that their vet didn't want them to stay with their pet till the end. That's not a vet I would trust with any of my animals.

@MissConstrue @msbellows @darwinwoodka @mcnado @ai6yr My first presidential election was 1972. I can't say I was enthusiastic about McGovern but he wasn't Nixon.

From my friend Dr. Thanh Huynh Neville: "Elon didn't realize it, but he has encouraged the development of the TRANS car: born a Tesla but identifies as something else."

@josh0 The switch from card catalogues to electronic cataloguing was a tragedy. I was a librarian early in my working life and participated in that switch. The tracking (all of the subjects that a book could be listed under) was far more extensive on those old cards. When we switched to computers, we only transferred the info on the first three cards. So much information was lost in that transition.

@josh0 I'm in my mid-70s. I have been assessing the accuracy for sources for more than 50 years--it doesn't require any kind of tech savviness to recognize that AI is crap.

@mekkaokereke One word: Brioche.

@thomasfuchs Counting my blessings. I've fostered 176 cats over the years and treated a lot of feline ailments, but I've never had to give a cat an enema.

@Gargron
We are supposed to get heavy rain tonight. I am hoping it will dampen some of the noise.
