A Corvid+ tale of this past Wednesday, in emoji. (Words in alt text)
I Disney Princessed up more wilderness friends (I have befriended the local crows and a pair of ravens who seem to think I'm okay). I was serving up peanuts to the crows and jays, and saw the squirrel trio come bouncing over, immediately followed by a new player: A hawk. Crows and jays were having nothing to do with it and took off. The hawk sat in the low branches of a tree watching and watching... and the squirrels were of course, freaked out. Eventually two of them chased each other around and around the trunk of the tree, and the smallest one decides this is a great time to make a break for those tasty peanuts he's been eyeballing. Hawk: Swoop. Trio no more! The duo sat perfectly still on a branch for 10 minutes after the murder of their companion.

Did anyone see my last marble?
I'd saved it to give it away
Since I was a youth
Now I don't have the proof
Only words, only words, only words...
And what good are they?

Also, I have learned that today is National Cat Day. So here's Tau, either doing an epic slow blink at me, or falling asleep sitting up.

A tortoiseshell cat sits on a gray carpet beneath a dark metal and stone coffee table. The cat’s eyes are closed, its body upright with its tail curled around to the side. A small spring-like cat toy lies on the floor nearby. The lighting is dim, giving the photo a cozy, subdued tone.

Subaru logo stars.

#photo #stars #Pleiades #subaru
Night sky with faint stars scattered across a dark blue background. Near the center, a small, hazy cluster of stars—likely the Pleiades—stands out, with the Orion constellation visible lower down. On the left edge, part of a wooden utility pole and power lines are dimly lit, while a blurry orange-brown tree crown appears at the bottom.

Funny, I've only ever heard it referred to as "The Epstein Ballroom". To add some class, what about "La Promenade des Énigmes"?

Who posted this👀

If we're prevented from publicly proclaiming purported pedo #POTUS ' pretentious iron pyrite palace is the #EpsteinBallroom we probably shouldn't present pictures like this perfect parody of the pompous potentate👇

The true sign you’re really an adult: Looking for something in your domicile and muttering, ”Goddamn I have too much stuff.”

A small rusty robot with tank treads and binocular-like eyes holds up a daisy to a sleek white flying robot with glowing blue eyes. They face each other tenderly at sunset on a rooftop, with the full moon glowing in the background. Bold black text above them reads “Let’s clank.”

I think BlueSky is driving me back to using Reddit.

Yeah, Reddit is bad, the owners are awful, and god some kids are dumb, but the relative lack of anti-AI righteousness and political shrieking sure is refreshing.

“Cats don’t actually love you” A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food. Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family. Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

Things that damage conservative man's masculinity:

Using a straw, lunchboxes, anything not beer or whiskey, sunscreen, ChapStick, emojis, anything mental health, cats, style, and reusable shopping bags.

But a trans girl can't lose hers despite any degree of hormones and surgery. Huh! 🤔

Autumn Tactics Deep river runs its course To a warm horizon Shadows of falling leaves October moon and rusty skies Ever changing feelings The seeds of autumn in my mind Hiding summer's age no more No more leaves in the summer sky Turning dark on empty car lots When summer was my only friend Sail back this way again Winter's one breath away It's turning cold Like the hiding sun Feels like it's just begun Waiting for summer sun

A tortoiseshell cat crouches low on a wooden cat tree platform, peeking just over the edge with wide, curious green eyes. The background shows a sunlit window with leafy trees outside and deep red curtains partially drawn to the side. The cat’s ears are perked up, and its body is partially hidden in shadow, giving it a playful, stealthy appearance.

Repeatedly typing up posts and hitting cancel.

Except for this one.

Come on brain chemistry, you can't do this to me, it's not even winter yet. There's still 12 hours of daylight!

Playing with/learning to do things in Unreal Engine and its cursed editor. I made a ball to throw around that is spawned as a temporary object with a velocity vector. *81* lines of C++ NOT counting comments and empty lines.

I am now convinced UE is the cause of psychosis in the games industry.

I always forget it's the weekend, and suddenly the Trending Topics on here take a 270° turn...
Cartoon of a bearded mega-fan yelling like it’s the finals of absolutely nothing. He’s rocking a “SPORTSBALL” tee, dual foam fingers, a scarf for flair, and a megaphone for maximum obnoxiousness. Pure sports chaos energy. Probably doesn't know the rules.

Hello, Tau!

#caturday #tortie
A wide-eyed tortoiseshell cat perches between a white air purifier and a quirky Japanese coin bank disguised as a citrus crate. Her gaze is fixed forward like she’s guarding a secret. A digital thermometer nearby reads 74°F, while a clipboard with graph paper and warning labels sits in the foreground on a stone tile surface.

My big fancy mechanical keyboard was acting weird. I ended up Googling about it. It required a soft reset and now it works fine.

Has technology gone too far? 🤔

doomers: there’s not going to be elections in America ever again

me: if they can’t even cancel an entertainer due to popular pushback what the fuck makes you think they can cancel elections

Freeze warning tonight.

Winter is coming. ❄️
Circular weather display on a dark background showing the current temperature as 1°C, feels like 1°C. The day’s high is 23°C and the low is 8°C

Tau's penthouse perch, keeping an eye on the scene.

A tortoiseshell cat with striking green eyes rests inside a wooden cubby lined with a soft cream cushion, peering out alertly from the cozy enclosure.

Updated all my iThings to *OS 26 today. It seems fine, and I like the new windowing system on iPadOS.

But... 3D is back, baby! I'm amused at the cyclic nature of UI fashion.

Does my noticing this mean I'm old now?
