Please take a moment to note how Miso always sits with his tail curled up on top of his paws.
@skinnylatte Meanwhile, here in Seattle, if I buy jalapeños at the grocery store they are a variety that has been specially bred to remove all the heat, because apparently people here thought they were too spicy
@irene @keira_reckons @JessTheUnstill yep! I have not had the chance to try any of the smart watch features in any meaningful way because 2025 has been a mess. But despite that, I have still managed to keep it charged... which I would definitely not have done with something that needs to be charged daily
Just in case anyone is considering using the Fediverse for your war planning
Never change, #Seattle.
@skinnylatte every workplace should have an albatross, preferably a non-metaphorical one

@skinnylatte oh, glad you made it out to my favorite sushi restaurant!
Miso: if I sit politely at the table, maybe they'll feed me dinner?
The city of Seattle mailed me some Democracy Vouchers today, and, yes, I would like to redeem them for some democracy please.

In an effort to pander to the interests of my audience, here is a cat curled up with a bunch of antique switching hardware.
@paninid @ai6yr @mattblaze I had to look up who owns MapQuest these days and apparently it is a mysterious company that appears to be a portal to 1996. They also operate WebCrawler, MetaCrawler, Dogpile, HowStuffWorks, and answers.com.
@paninid @ai6yr @mattblaze Hey, you may make fun of MapQuest, but they're currently the only ones who haven't caved...
