@irene: you know who would know these are real? @skinnylatte would.

(And might recognize the menu!)

But what if we ... didn't?

Miso continues to be ridiculously photogenic.

I bought @irene this pair of capybara slippers but they were too large so… I guess I own a pair of capybara slippers now.

@skinnylatte there are a lot of computer scientists doing research on unikernels and I was so disappointed when I learned that no sea urchins were involved

Found one of the main breakers for the machine room today, had to resist the intrusive thoughts.

@skinnylatte @catsalad some languages have hundreds of words for snow; Chinese has no word for ice water.

At least that's my theory.

Reminded of the time that @irene tried to buy a popsicle in China and the vendor refused to sell it to her, because it was too cold and he didn't want to be held responsible if she died.

It was about 80F at the time.

Saw this post on reddit and I instantly aged 10 years. Please pass the ibuprofen.

wtf is wrong with people?

Learned that the tool for unjamming a garbage disposal is called a "wrenchette", and this has me wondering about gender roles in wrench society now.

(You'll notice that the wrenchette's job is in the kitchen...)

@skinnylatte it is always nice to see Mila looking happy!

Is she a SF native? I used to volunteer at the SPCA (and occasionally SFACC) many, many years ago.

Gym etiquette tip: be sure to ask the gym cat if you can work in before claiming the weight bench.

Starting to wonder if my Signal is even working because I haven't gotten accidentally added to any group chats by Pete Hegseth yet

Reviewing chile pepper analytics to forecast next year's green chile needs, a perfectly normal thing to be doing.

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
