So fucking tired of people too busy to let their dog say hello.

Jumpy Dog and Dalmatian Pup absolutely thrilled to see each other but Mr. Fitness over there gotta keep his pulse rate up.

Fuck your cardio. Give the dogs some social time.

It's been too long since I watched Cabin Boy.

For real, I don't really have much memory of it beyond a vague fondness for something I found extremely weird. I wonder how it's aged.

Conservatives are still obsessed with calling LGBTQ+ people “groomers,” and Meta is still helping them do it.

Despite confirming in July that using anti-LGBTQ+ “groomer” rhetoric constituted a violation of the company’s policies against hate speech, Meta continues to allow advertisements using the slur to proliferate on its platform and is making money in the process, according to a new report from nonprofit watchdog group Media Matters for America.

Today's a day for such creative age math it would give a Doctor Who staff writer ideas.

I was tempted to give up on Strange New Worlds after the medical staff punched their way through 30 Klingons in s2e1, but watched eps 2 & 3 tonight and both were truly excellent. Hope they can deliver more of this and less of the other stuff.

AT&T Long Lines Microwave Tower, San Jose, CA, 2021

This unusual brutalist concrete tower is, as far as I know, unique in the old Long Lines terrestrial microwave network. It has been repurposed as a cellular telephone base station site, though several of the original KS-15676 horn antennas remain in place.

Hallway, Greenwich Village Walkup, NYC

This improbably narrow common hallway, with adjacent doors (sharing a common doormat) facing one another at a 90 degree angle, reminds me of one used in the Coen Brother's Inside Llewyn Davis.

Ron DeSantis planning to announce that he's running for president on Twitter during a discussion with Elon Musk is hilarious because it sounds like someone just went on ChatGPT and typed "Write a headline that will make everyone on Mastodon angry".
