Everyone knows that cats are liquid, but I think they also exhibit gaseous properties, in that they are capable of expanding to fill any available space. No matter how large the bed, it will never be enough.

Nah that’s the mycelium being all fluffy.

Oh you’re right, it’s not against the rules and I haven’t reported it or anything. There’s a whole discussion that could be had about the many issues of AI, but with this specific example, my main ick is the authenticity of the joke and the implications for misinformation.

The image could have been a comic version of the same “strip joint skeleton Halloween decoration” and still been funny, but the idea of someone actually putting in the effort to build it in their yard adds to the humor. For me, the generation is almost good enough to look real at a quick glance, but the sense of something being off and subsequent realization that I’ve been “fooled” into thinking it was a real photo kills that humor and leaves a sour feeling.

It also concerns me that as AI image generation gets better, the easy tells become harder and harder to spot. This picture is harmless, but imagine the potential damage of a better fake image of a more scandalous topic.

I couldn’t figure out the limb positions on the stripper, and the more I looked, the more obvious this is AI. Funny idea, too bad it’s generated slop.

Her name is Sofrito, and we also call her the Purrito Bandito. Previous nicknames while in kittenhood included noddlebones (she tended to flop when picked up), ragamuffin, and fetid moppet.

Truly a magnificent creature lording over her domain.

Well that’s sad, but understandable.

I got them in that order too

Oooh yum, I’m a sucker for capers but haven’t ever had them in a risotto. Love how the black of the risotto jives with the sunflower plate 🌻

Ugh, obnoxious click bait title had me wondering how the hell can cocaine be printed. The guy didn’t “3D print cocaine,” he printed a paper weight and tried to pull an Indiana Jones swap.

Aww, what a cutie

God I love British humor 😂

She’s gotten a little bit of supervised porch time, my husband and I plan on training her the same way we’ve trained our first cat, Mirepoix.

Mira loves her supervised outside time and understands when we ask “you wanna go outside?” She’ll generally stay in the garden with us (occasionally she’ll push her luck and wander a little) and knows when we say “inside!” that it’s time to go in.

Oh of course! I kept an eye on the local lost pet listings and had her checked for a microchip, no luck with either.

I don’t know how long a young kitten can go without food, but she was extremely skinny, had fleas and worms, and with how matted her fur was with leaves and filth, she really didn’t look like she’d been taken care of. 😢

So I finally got around to seeing it at one of the last theaters showing it in my area, and I agree with folks calling it ridiculous. It was entertaining enough, I don’t regret going to see it, but I don’t think I’ll ever get the urge to rewatch it.

Denzel Washington seemed to be having a great time and was fun to watch in his variety of extravagant outfits. There were several actors that just seemed wasted for how little screen time/plot relevance they got, Derek Jacobi, Rory McCann, Peter Mensah, even Pedro Pascal. But for me it was the repeated continuity errors and confusing character motivations that strained disbelief.

Like, I’ll roll with you that a fleet of Roman warships have siege towers and trebuchets; but if two characters fall off of the city wall into deep water, then suddenly they’re on a shallow beach, then you’ve lost me. Likewise, when Lucius’ stated goal the entire film is “I’m gonna kill that guy,” and he finally gets his opportunity, Acacius pleading that he’s loved Lucius’ mother (which is not new information, and he didn’t seem to give a shit earlier), somehow changes his mind? There’s a number of other “but why would they do that?” moments, but that’s the most egregious.

I actually remember the original post waaaaaay back!

The lady is throwing the cat onto a bed, and people were accusing her of being mean to the cat, so she posted a video of her tossing the cat, and the cat is running right back to her with a swishy tail. At one point she stops and ignores the cat, who proceeds to meow and put paws up on her leg, begging for more.
