Wait… that sounds wrong.

I'm automatically attracted to cat pics- I just start favoriting them. It's like a magnet. Just fave. I don't even wait. And when you're on Mastodon, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Forget Chekhov's Gun, it should be Chekhov's Parrot. If a Parrot is introduced in the first act, it will absolutely give away an important secret in the third.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

The auto industry has almost completely abandoned the idea of selling affordable cars in the U.S. https://www.motor1.com/features/710453/cheap-cars-dead/

China is plainly planning to fill the gap, as Japan did some decades ago.

This will -- guaranteed -- lead to a furious response, but that won't include US carmakers actually competing. The response will be protectionism, because one thing history has shown us is that American companies facing foreign competition are terrified of actual competition.

Have you seen Creature Comforts? It was a short series featuring a roving reporter interviewing animals at a zoo.

Shaun the Sheep is also fantastic.

Random thoughts I have in the middle of the night, number 43:
Do you remember LifeBouy soap?? In my youth (so long ago!) almost every family used it for hygiene.
What I thought last night was this: You know how Americans pronounce the word BOUY as BOO-EY? Well, how did they pronounce the name of the soap - which in the UK and everywhere else was pronounced LIFEBOY.
Did Americans call it LIFEBOOEY? I mean, who cares really, but this is what my mind does to me when I cannot sleep.

Only problem here is the coffee is too far away to reach without disturbing the cat. Otherwise, this is heaven.

It's a Texas thing, and then only in season, but Blue Bell's Peaches and Cream ice cream is the best.

I tried to point out the most beautiful centipede with lovely long legs to the doorman but he misunderstood what I wanted and killed it. ☹️

This is why I keep my friends secret. I should’ve just caught it and taken it down to the basement.

I'm perfectly happy to confuse people by catching the crickets in the office and carrying them outside to freedom.

The only bugs that don't get rescued are ants and roaches.
