Another day, another apology from me for staying offline a lot and not replying to you.

I'm still sloooowwwly improving, but weak and still feeling that anxiety thing.

It'll all pass, but in the meantime, hi and bye.

Tons to do to settle in here, and no energy.

Hugs to all.

You have not only just done a major move, you have done a major move TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.

It is traumatic. Even when a big change is good, it is traumatic.

Take time to tend to yourself.

And congrats again on your new home in Canada.

POD #2 is now full of furniture and nearly ready to lock up. I'm officially exhausted.

Your Daily Dose of dopey gifs is here, and if you click on the hashtag, it's there too.

Day. After. Tomorrow!

Have a great evening, everyone!

Gutsick Gibbon knows primates and dogs too. Her new remake is excellent, but in the opening she kind of dismisses ants domesticating various insects as not as unique as humans and dogs.

I don't agree. Ants haven't just evolved to coexist with many other species of insects they have integrated them in to their survival in ways that mirror strangely human relationships with animals.

Most remarkable ants exert selective pressure on domesticates through ant choice!

Because they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.

Video 1/3: “We don’t need user testing! We already know our users”

Children at a playground completely ignoring the slide, and sliding down the smooth hill upon which the slide is mounted

I'm in QA now, former user then customer support. I try so hard to come up with the most deranged things our users might do, and they still astound me at times.

“some animals act strange during an eclipse”

(but none so much as humans— everyone is outside in nyc holding colanders squinting yelling at each other not to squint and wearing goofy goggles… but oh yeah it’s the squirrels that are “acting strange”)

My cat is a bit WTF? But I suspect that had more to do with my going in and out of the house than the change in the light.

BREAKING: Federal judge dismisses a conservative lawsuit challenging a Washington, D.C. law that allows noncitizen residents to vote in local elections. Republican voters argued the law "discriminates against U.S. citizens living in D.C."

Thomas Hawley Tuberville clearly had no idea what IVF was in an interview. Assumed it was some kind of birth control (IUD) or abortion. He just doesn't care about these issues enough to follow them. He doesn't have a womb, and his wife did all that woman stuff so he could have two sons. Why should he know?

Some of you might want to try to tell me he couldn't possibly be in the SENATE & be this uninformed & uninterested.

I want to think that too. But let's be honest about what we are seeing.

That man is dumber than a sack of hammers, but he coached college football, which makes him a god or something in Alabama.

Via Angry Staffer about the Ultra Super Duper Secret classified intel that Turner blabbed about (supposedly Russian nuke capabilities):

Couple things here:

The public doesn’t need to know about this. They can’t do shit about it anyway.

Our enemies don’t need to know that we know it.

Now, both things have happened because a Republican can’t keep his mouth shut.

He very well could have compromised a source.

Obviously he's deeply unwell, but there are tons of folks that have big mental health issues that don't do things like that. This required external stoking, probably courtesy of Fox News and the like.
