This will probably get me a charge of treason, but IMO Bacharach and David were better than Lennon and McCartney!

This adorable little bean appeared at the Texas Observer office today, rescued by Staff Reporter Michelle Pitcher. We are calling them Mister Stinky (until we can get them checked for a chip anyways).
Elmo Muskrat is a narcissist. That's what happens

@ScottSoCal 100% hit it with an immersion blender to make it creamy and poof awesomeness.
If no immersion blender, you can add the instant potato flakes as a thickener if you want a slacker cooking hack π
@ScottSoCal Scalziβs book about the alternate dimensions & kaiju is awesome π

This needs more attention. A MAGA judge in Texas could potentially outlaw abortion pills in all 50 states as early as this week. https://youtu.be/267ll5BKJGY https://mstdn.social/@MeidasTouch/109836802520186434
She contacted the listing agent, who called the seller. The seller told her he had to move for work and couldnβt have the dog at the new place. Dude claims he was still looking for someone to take the dog. Food bowl was apparently empty and no bowl for water out. The guy should never be allowed to own a pet the rest of his life. Even a fucking goldfish.
Anyone know someone willing to #adopt a 2 year old German Shepherd in the #Atlanta #Georgia area?
A friend's neighbor is a real estate agent and went to show a house and the seller left this approximately 2 yo shepherd mix behind and moved to Nashville. She took him to her vet and heβs good with other dogs and is getting neutered Monday. Will be available for adoption next Thursday. Some people are terrible.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WORK FOR A NARCISSIST
NEW: Elon Musk fired a top engineer over his declining view counts.
Plus the reason the site went down yesterday, fears about an upcoming FTC audit, and more, and more.

From @zoeschiffer and me.
Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, they told him, Musk was at βpeakβ popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of β100.β Today, heβs at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Muskβs reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.
Musk did not take the news well.
βYouβre fired, youβre fired,β Musk told the engineer. (Platformer is withholding the engineerβs name in light of the harassment Musk has directed at former Twitter employees.) https://mastodon.social/@caseynewton/109836560566616044
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
