If Dolly were to give a press conference and announce she has a surprise, and then tear off her human skin to reveal herself as Trogdora the Burninator, about half of Bluesky (Yr Hmbl Crrspd't included) would immediately swear fealty to her and join whatever crusade she was leading.

If the truck is not covered in scratches and mud and does not have some questionable detritus in the bed, the other trucks make fun of it in the parking lot.

She grew up in poverty and remembers.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

I saw one in the parade a few times, but we did not chat

If anybody local in Britain can help, or knows someone who can…

Oof. Dunno, but I’ll put out the bat signal.

What I just finished reading: Snake Eater by @tkingfisher.com . A nice story about a woman reinventing herself after leaving a bad relationship. Then the folk horrors start gazing into her windows. Cue shotguns.

<sighs>Why did I even attempt to expect anything else?

And I played them all.

Yes, but only by being shipped to a birthday party. Other piΓ±atas occasionally kill and eat weaker ones and there is a cheer and candy but the piΓ±atas don’t like that.

I think it’s that I’m so used to software becoming obsolete over the years that it doesn’t faze me like some other things. I couldn’t play Dungeon Master 2 these days without an emulator and downloads either. And I’m on Steam anyhow.

I played the everloving crap out of DragonQuest Builders 1 & 2 already!

I know I should care more about that than I do, but I think the ship has sailed.

You intrigue me…

It is old and was available on the XBox library thing?

Dude, this isn’t it. You’re the one being rude here.

They may have gotten me with this one. I loved Viva PiΓ±ata with the passion of a thousand suns.

There is a new PokΓ©mon game that appears to be a cross between Animal Crossing and Viva PiΓ±ata.

Aaaaand it’s a Switch 2 Exclusive.

All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared.
You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. πŸͺΆ

My mother who, god love her, likes to panic about things, once called me up in great alarm asking what I would do if the Yellowstone super volcano erupted.

I told her I would die like everyone else. Probably not the right answer, but it did end the conversation quickly.

You seem very nice and also please stay out of Albuquerque. Our volcanoes are extinct and I would prefer that didn’t change.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
