Different poop - cecal pellets look like clusters of grapes and are meant to be eaten, generally immediately. They're not like the little cocoa puffs that rabbits leave behind. (Hi, I kept bunnies for years.)

There are some most excellent mashups of "Pinball Wizard" and "Folsom Prison Blues" that rely on the fact that the rhythm of the lyrics match. I shared my discovery with some younger coworkers, only to find that neither had heard of either song.

48 years, thankyouverramuch - he died 2 months before I was born, and I'm still only (!) 48.

I'm also seriously second-guessing the "Bill Hicks" part - that first word could be "Raul" or could be someone miswriting with a sharpie and trying to correct themself by scribbling over letters.

I took a look at his discography to see if it might be a known title but I'm guessing it's a bootleg live show. I thought the second word at the bottom might be "Russia" and now I can't unsee it for what else it might be. (I decipher doctors' handwriting at work.)

β€œWow he blocked me because he can’t take criticism” that’s correct. This is social media. You’re just some asshole. I am under no obligation to listen to you tell me what to do. Have a blessed day

I love Econ-positng. Dan Habsmith of Guttermeyer Associates posts the most confusing chart you've ever seen and says "Quite surprising VARG numbers, SPLG index showing movement" and you get the context by one of his mutuals quoting it with "Buy a fucking gun and head for the hills. Right now."

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

First part appears to be "Bill Hicks" - if so, this would likely be stand-up comedy rather than music.

There was an episode of Cautionary Tales about a plane crash caused by a baby pilot trained using AI. The plane got into a Situation, the AI shut down because things were too complicated, the baby pilot was used to the AI watching certain indicators for him, the other pilot wasn't paying attention.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

My late mother-in-law told me stories about getting married during the Texas Drought of Record, 1952-57, when Dallas was facing evacuation because There Was No Water, Period. I’ve been dreading this happening again in Texas ever since.

That's a lot of research and I have a full-time job and a tendency to lose interest in long-term projects.

Someday I wanna read the alternate history where the Mongols or someone invade Europe just a few years after the Black Death sweeps through.

I remember some podcast or other (I think the Smithsonian's "Side Door"?) did an episode about that, and congressmen asking their staffers about this bill, and some young lady found herself abruptly giving a speech or briefing or some such explaining why this bill was so important for women.

I've had the shift starting at 3am (instead of midnight or 1am) for less than two years, and I'm still used to the time shift being a thing that happens *while I'm already clocked in and working*.

So one downside of a shift starting at 3am is that the disappearing hour was the time allotted in my schedule for showering, dressing, and driving to work. I got to work, saw the time clock said 4 instead of 3, and went, "Oh, shit..."
