Malicious Compliance

I put her water dish in the dishwasher and now I'm getting this face and a bunch of bitching because there's no water.

But you have to understand I can't give her another water dish, because she will not get over it before her normal dish is clean.

Getting closer to me, she's very sad about her water dish and I'm a terrible person for doing this to her, on purpose.

I have replaced the bowl with new water, which is abjectly terrifying. She will not drink from this. She is now hiding from it.

I am being judged once more, but from the safety of across the house from the scary new bowl. I have attempted to explain that her bowl will return soon, but she does not care. I have betrayed her.

wallace was right when he took himself and his gay little dog to the moon on account of maybe cheese was there

I found a new type of animal

bring his ass to a simmer

why would they do that

Guy discovering it: wow it’s perfectly preserved!

Scientists, forks in hand: not for long

One of the most ancient scientific fields is "Can I Eat That?" How do you think we figured out which mushrooms kill you?

I’ve told you guys before about my scandinavian palaeontologist friend who ate the bog butter, and when I asked if eating a piece of sacrificial/religious offering was theologically concerning at all, he had the utterly shattering response of “the gods know their own.”

With that story in mind, you can reverse-create a sense of the scientists who ate a piece of Big Blue: in fact, rather as historians piece together an image of past times from the sketches provided by history, you can get a tremendous sense of their character.

ummm . to love a little cat is to see the face of god

They’re narrative foils they might as well fuck nasty about it

“miss piggy could do better than kermit” and you know what? she probably could! miss piggy is a catch. she’s a businesswoman, supermodel, actor, singer, she knows fucking karate. she’s extraordinarily by all counts. anyone would be happy to have her. but you know what. kermit makes her happy. kermit plays straight man to all of her hilarious endevours. kermit loves her. and she loves kermit. she doesn’t WANT better. she wants KERMIT.

we need to respect a beautiful womans choice to have the most wonderful cringefail husband in the world. ok.

dichotomy of “nothing in the digital age is permanent, we are losing physicality and thus part of ourselves” vs. “everything in the digital age is permanent, everything you do is recorded and stored for later use against you or to exploit you”

#big fan of how both are true in the worst possible way

Did You Know: if you get to the airport early enough in the morning, you can look through the big windows and watch them shovel oats and alfalfa into big troughs for the planes

I know it looks cute, but the airplanes only line up for food when their enclosure isn’t enriching enough.

that might be true of smaller airports where the planes spend more time on the ground, but at large international airports, the planes get tons of enrichment from socializing with one another and lots of exercise flying, so it’s actually fine that their enclosures aren’t much more than a space for them to rest.
