I have the happiest of news, Skye made it through her dental procedure this morning!

Molars are shaved down and should lessen risk of choking. BunMum will also continue to give only tiny cut pieces of everything.❤️

No cardiac issues although she did stop breathing a few times (common in older buns!) and they did breathing for her. She’s in recovery and stable. Pick up in 5.5 hours.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped by sending good vibes and/or the Go Fund Me, it all helps so much 🥹❤️

🪐let me be clear *sets my image_alpha to 0*

🪐anyways, people had better not say that I'm a cat this time in a game called "Fox Stamps" like they did in Shield Cat. "Wow, look at this white cat!" sure, ok, that game is pixel art so I'll give you a pass. This time though...

We're plotting icon changes for OS 9. I'm really enjoying this page fold to break up the tile shape and add some dynamism

Shoutous @mirlo and @kurisu for collaborating on it

@danirabbit the color change feels a little homogenizing, but the page curl is delightful

I really don’t like mornings, but sometimes they’re good for photos.

other fun paperwork i could do:

• request for an exemption with the drug enforcement administration in order to allow me to posses a bar of chocolate (illegal due to the federal analogue act)
• tax filing in order to bring a bottle of wine from new jersey to new york
• notarised form from a website owner confirming that i am allowed to access urls on their website (computer fraud and abuse act is incredibly vague)

So... I'm not entirely confident that the answer is "none". I am fairly certain, however, that any extant rules would never be enforced against a paper aeroplane under any ordinary circumstance.

Now I am somewhat tempted to acquire a remote pilot certificate and register a paper aeroplane with the FAA. It might be possible to go through the standard amateur-built aircraft procedure to acquire an N-prefixed aircraft registration code.

:duckduckbing: what paperwork do i have to file to fly an unmanned glider under 250g in class B airspace in the US?

(throwing a paper airplane in a park in new york city)

@munin @artemist if you show up at the office in person you could file a flight plan for a paper airplane, as a paper airplane

Came across some code which is subjected to a complexity analysis tool; the tool, called "lizard", has a specific annotation you can add in a comment to request it skip a function, which results in a rather alarming line of code without knowing that context:

// #​​​lizard forgives

Oh no. Sitara is back at the emergency vet. Please help if you can. These buns are so, so loved.

Good morning from the #Squirrel of the Day for August 10, 2026 #squirrels

File under: AI / Alphabet Inc.'s mistakes - we're all doomed unless we start pushing back

Lunchtime conversation.

French family member: "How do you say 'grillon' (cricket) in Italian?"

Me: "Grillo."

Family member: "What? Are you sure? Google translate says it's 'cricket' in Italian."

Me: "No, it's 'grillo' - 'cricket' is the English translation."

Family member points to their smartphone, Google Translate is open to a French-Italian translation of 'grillon'  and it does read 'cricket.'

Me: "Trust me, I'm Italian, the correct translation is 'grillo'."

French family member: "You're wrong, Google Translate says it's 'cricket'."

Me: "Haven't you heard that Google tools and AI tools are prone to mistakes? I'm Italian and I've said 'grillo' my entire life."

French family member unconvinced, unwittingly drops the subject.

And with that, my friends, I'm telling you we're doomed unless we push really hard for basic digital media literacy...

Neil Postman is lucky to have skipped this era. He would have lost his mind.

A few days ago the EU released an updated #PPWR FAQ:

https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/ad14cb8f-8d4f-11f1-9262-01aa75ed71a1

Also some more clarifications from the German Händlerbund:

1) Attaching a postage label on unbranded packaging sourced in the same EU country as your shop does not make you a producer and frees you of extended EPR responsibilities:

2) The de minimis relief amendment for micro-enterprises has been rejected, meaning authorized representatives are indeed required in each single EU country where you want to ship to. Even if it's just one package a year. This is unbelievably bad news for any small shops! I'm honestly speechless how idiotic & cruel this decision is!

Edit: The official decision to discontinue negotiations is here:
https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2026/06/24/simplification-council-agrees-negotiating-stance-to-simplify-and-streamline-environmental-rules/

The almost Newspeak-like scenario here is that this now vastly more involved and expensive impact of this legislation is officially touted as "simplification and reduction of administrative burden". Can't make this up...

📦 The new #PPWR could make cross-border EU sales impossible for SMEs. Shipping one book to Hungary? Potentially ~€1,800 in compliance costs.

99.8% of EU businesses are SMEs. Why not one EU platform, one filing system and sensible thresholds?

Life meets art, head on ... meep-meep!

This accident actually happened. In Monterrey in Mexico a driver crashed into a concrete wall decorated with a trompe-l'œil mural of a Looney Tunes tunnel.
