New roommate has arrived!

His name is Taz! He is an English bulldog, almost 8 years old, roughly 70 pounds, and is recovering from knee surgery. He was entrusted to me this weekend by the Mission Mayday dog rescue. He seems to like it here so far! Here are a few early photos.

Really Donald? You want to go there?

Today’s moment of zen is Donald Trump posting this on “Truth” Social, showing the world that he hasn’t gained an ounce of self-awareness — or indeed world awareness — in the past 4 years. Four years ago hospitals had to hire freezer trucks to store the body of the COVID dead because they were literally running out of space in the morgues.

Donald Trump asks if you're better off now than 4 years ago, not thinking for a second about what was going on 4 years ago

Shared today on BlueSky — apparently this is the result of asking ChatGPT to illustrate what its core values are.

ChatGPT values: weird icons with gibberish captions.
