My little buddy is mine. I won’t share his name because it’s rather unique, I mostly call him little buddy or gremlin.

He’s a black shorthair cat. We got him as a rescue kitten and I loved him as soon as I saw this uglygoofy kitten run across his cage (over another cat) to get pets.

The first two weeks we had him all he did was have diarrhea in the closet and scream, he was very underweight and looked like a bat. Once he got up to weight he’s been healthy and active since.

He’s got a lot of personality and quirks. He follows me everywhere, he’s a total copilot cat. He’s very loud, he likes to sing the songs of his people. He loves playing and we have all sorts of dumb games (I play Air bud style soccer with him and he’s pretty good, and he really likes being chased into his cat tube or under the bed).

He’s also an anxious cat, which I think resonates with me because I’m rather anxious. But he seems to know when I am and just lays with me and it’s very nice.

He’s a very dumb cat, but weirdly easy to train. He responds to his name and a few commands or words, but he also gets lost easily and cries if he can’t find us in the house.

He sleeps with me every night and doesn’t like when I don’t share bathroom time with him.

Man I sure hate the trans agenda of checks notes wanting a place to pee in public without being harassed?

Seriously fuck all this, trans rights are human rights, and insanely easy to accommodate while hurting absolutely no one.

I’ve got an old grey lady and she looks so much like your cat, she even does that monkey tail curl

When they didn’t find the KIT gene to be causing the whiteness, the scientists turned to something more dramatic: sequencing the salmiak cats’ entire genome

OMG you can’t just ask a cat why it’s white!

Also pretty neat that the gene responsible for cat colouring is called KIT, science proves we named kitties correctly.

They should sell a charger called “ba” and then a two pack called “banana” and a four pack called “bananana”

I think fediverse being the ocean is apt.

We’re just here, with wave after wave eroding the shore of the island that is Reddit.

Reddit has very weak leadership in my opinion.

I wouldn’t be betting on them, especially when their user base is going to want them to stand up for them and the Elon fiasco shows Spez won’t.

It’s a tinderbox before the next large Reddit protest happens again and more niche communities splinter off to the fediverse.

Fred Flintstone really turned into an asshole

On a serious note this is just sad.

The performance review scene was too real for me. I had to pause because it actually triggered me.

I’ve had too many reviews that are exactly like that, down to the weird ass report and “feedback is a gift” style.

Woke up this morning and saw bitcoin spams all over my communities. A new hand has touched the beacon of spreading spam.

I guess it depends, I can make a pivot table in like 30 seconds, which is faster than setting up and loading data into a notebook.

Kowalski, analysis

I’ve gone full circle

Loved sheets, then hated them because we should just use a DB

Now I do stuff in sheets with a tab explaining how I got the data because I can email it to someone and in 4 months it still answers their questions.

As the snake charmer said in Snakes on a Submarine: Maybe one, Maybe many.

What kind of frosting is that?

I had cupcakes with that as a kid and they were amazing and I can taste them just linking at this picture

I’m imagining the shits the dishwasher detergent residues give you would be brutal

My wife had to come check on me I was lauhing so hard, my computer thinks your cat is a hippo!

I’ve never seen a photo of a cat from this angle

I’m laughing out loud at this photo

I’m salary or contract, so working overtime is often just doing work without pay.

I’ll do it every now and then to get things done, but I’m never going to make that my normal.

Yes, that is something that really sucks.

Here in Ontario disability gets clawed back as soon as you stop making poverty wages, it’s disgusting.
