I love my meadow masquerading as a yard. This is the world without an HOA.

If Hel were a bunny.

@tkingfisher.com saw my cursed ear and a half bunny and it makes me think of you and What Moves the Dead.

As far as I'm concerned anyone telling people not to vote, in this election or any other, is doing for malign purposes, and the only correct response is "Well now I am going to vote EVEN HARDER."

see also the posts floating around pointing out that the author of that piece has voted in the last few elections according to voter records

@radiofreetom.bsky.social If Biden stepped aside, is there a mechanism to get a replacement on the ballot in all 50 states? It looks like no to me which means we keep rowing with what we have.

I believe that this is one of the reasons Biden’s not stepping aside, the fact that the GOP will keep Harris (or anyone else) off the ballot in various states.

I sure hope all the Dems calling for Biden to step aside have gamed out the fuckery that the Heritage Foundation is planning www.notus.org/2024-electio...

Biden in NC today: "I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to ... [but] I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job ... I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up!"

@tkingfisher.bsky.social we have this cursed bunny with one ear partly shriveled and some sort of scarring on the torso on the same side, sort of Old Norse Hel in bunny form, and it showed up in the yard right after I finished What Moves The Dead. Good side showing in photo. Nightmare fuel!

Hello, today is my Birthday! ✨And the best gift for an artist is a retweet of his artworks 🌱🍃

Today I spent the 4K I had saved for a once in a lifetime trip to Scotland for Worldcon on prepaying my needle guided biopsy next week. Glad I had it saved to pay, and I’m not doing a gofundme. If you live in the UK and ever think you want a US style healthcare system. You don’t. #glasgow2024

Reposting because this story is so wild: A scientist for the company that created Scotch Tape & Post-its discovered its toxic chemicals in human blood in the ‘90s. Despite findings showing widespread contamination, her research was stopped by executives who kept the information secret

Poor Me. Missed the last FedEx drop off in Fayetteville and had to drive to the airport where the FedEx office is next door to the Pit Boss. It’s been months since I’ve eaten meat this may be a mistake, but it will be delicious.

To help visualize how massive this is: people like me who have survived brain aneurysms have a cumulative 2% excess mortality rate every year and that's considered one of the bigger unseen health time bombs.

A JAMA study of 15,000 Sweeds found that treating diagnosed ADHD patients with medication reduced mortality by 19% over a two-year period. Normal executive function does more than improve your grades. It makes you less likely to die.

I’m in a bookstore in Wisconsin and it’s hard not to buy everything, even things I have, because I’m enjoying the staff notes so much and want to reward them.

One of Trump's top lawyers has already said the plan is to stay quiet on abortion through the campaign—then use the Comstock Act to impose a nationwide abortion ban in 2025. Not only a ban on medication abortion, but ALL abortions, in all 50 states. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/u...

@tkingfisher.bsky.social There’s a long list of people I’d like to bite. Bwahaha! This is awesome. Thank you.

@lianabrooks.bsky.social I think I remember you talking about some sort of scheduling app that replaced hootsuite or some other scheduling program. Did you? Or did I dream that? I need one.

AI drive thrus secretly using people to do the orders, ChatGPT using contractors in poor countries to monitor and alter responses, the Amazon "just walk out" technology actually just contractors in India watching cameras. AI doesn't just not work. The whole thing is a fraud

Those AI automated fast food drive thrus are so bad at actually taking orders that a person needs to listen the whole time and make sure it's inputted correctly. Your reminder that every big AI innovation always turns out to just be "some guy secretly doing it" thetakeout.com/ai-voice-act...
