Catlis is fascinated by the window that offers a passageway between the bedroom and balcony.
She must know that it's the same room that she can reach by more human-conventional means, but now she was putting her paw through, trying to open it from the balcony side.

Don't know what car drivers think about the traffic circles that are ubiquitous here, but they're nice for us bicyclists. Almost never have to stop when the bike road crosses the car road at the arms of such a circle.

bitcoin is a psychoeconomic predator that controls the minds of capitalist subjects and causes us to behave destructively and convert the world into as much bitcoin substrate as possible. most capitalist mind-predators do this with an indirect reward mechanism but bitcoin has shorted the circuit to become the purest, most efficient hyperorganism yet to stalk humanity. our species has almost no ability to resist this new predator

@cmiksche Gotta make that 💰

Hmm, when I was developing FeoBlog, a couple people asked "Does it support ActivityPub?"

It doesn't, because of a different data model & feature set, but I just realized that Mastodon's API is probably a lot more permissive than the cursed birdsite, so it might be easy to write something to translate between the two services.

I've recently been enjoying writing #TypeScript in #Deno, so hmm, this could be a fun project. :)

I've decided to clear up the ongoing confusion and rename the "New Atheists" the "Smug Atheists". Much more accurate and useful.

I can never find it, but back during all those clown sightings there was an article where a sheriff was telling people not to worry because "he believed it wasn't real clowns, just people in clown outfits" and I think about that all the time

The iOS weather widget has started saying things like "it won't be so warm tomorrow" instead of showing a temperature, when it will be 30°+, and there doesn't seem to be a way to tell it what's warm or cold to me. 😝

RT @rysiek So, let me re-phrase:

Government-run study, involving shortening the work week for government employees proves that productivity can be *gained* by shortening the work week.

Does business jump on that insight and clear opportunity to gain productivity *for free*, thus edging a competitive advantage on the market?

No. This happens only after unions get involved.

"Capitalism efficiently allocates resources" my arse.

In the upper portion there's a hand gently grasping an actual mouse. The bones are arranged like they should be, and above it is the green, straight arrow that says "Natural". (remote)

• Open sketchbook surrounded by some of the used art supplies. The page shows a portrait drawing of a young woman, head slightly turned left, looking away from the viewer. She seems tired and concerned, her grey blue eyes peering through her long fringe. Her shoulder length dark purple hair is messily cut. From below the collar of her cloak something black is growing upwards along the left side of her face. Behind her is a black contrasting square, a similar pattern as the black along her face is decorating the black square in silver. (remote)

‘Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?’ the waiter asked.
‘Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but with `None::`’, the philosopher replied.

A few minutes later, however, the water returned and said,

‘I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, but we haven't found `Cream` — how about with `None::`?’
