My favorite genre of pet interaction is “Fluffy is just happy to be included” where said pet has no idea what is going on but wants to participate anyway

Every once in a while I encounter someone driving by in an intentionally loud motorcycle blaring music from on-board speakers designed to be heard over the souped-up roar and I marvel at the variety inherent in the human condition that allows both myself & such a person to exist as the same species

FYI the official term for space missions with people on them is “crewed”, not “manned.” The term “manned spaceflight” has been outmoded for decades and NASA’s style guide has used “crewed” or “human” spaceflight (as opposed to “robotic”) since at least 2006. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Having autoplay as the default for videos is a REALLY bad move. You can disable autoplay for videos — it’s in the “Accessibility Settings.” (While you’re there you can also enable “require alt text before posting” if you haven’t yet)

Personally I think the threshold for holding someone accountable for threats & incitement should be on a sliding scale where the more power and influence you have, the lower the threshold. Even lower if your fan base skews hateful & armed. It’s maddening watching the sliding scale go the wrong way.

The Trump/Vance campaign airplane busted restricted DC airspace — probably the most protected airspace in the country — when the pilot failed to follow the mandated departure procedure from DCA. www.twz.com/air/j-d-vanc... (heard via @juphoff.bsky.social in the pilot group chat where we’re all 🤦🏼‍♀️ing)
