Reminds me of this.

A four-panel, black-and-white comic illustrating the concept of "drug-sniffing cats." It humorously contrasts the expected obedience of working animals with the stereotypical apathy and rebellious nature of cats.

Panel 1: Displays only the title text, "DRUG SNIFFING CATS", in large, bold, outlined capital letters.

Panel 2: Two cats are positioned next to a large, black rolling suitcase. The cat on the left is lying down and has a speech bubble saying, "LOT OF HEROIN IN HERE". The cat on the right is sitting upright and replies, "YEAH. SHALL WE TELL THE HUMANS?".

Panel 3: A close-up of the cat from the left side of the previous panel. It is now visible that the cat is wearing a dark uniform vest with "POLICE" printed on the bottom edge. The cat stares blankly off-panel with a neutral, unbothered expression. There is no text in this panel.

Panel 4: The exact same illustration as Panel 3, but the cat now has a speech bubble that bluntly states, "Fuck the state".

And #Copilot built it for me on MacOS in no time. �

A macOS Terminal window is running a dark‑themed text editor that mimics the classic MS‑DOS edit interface. The screen shows a single line of text, “Hello, MacOS! :)”, with a status bar at the bottom displaying line, column, encoding, and indentation details.

I could program a little web server into this, or, I can convert it to #ESPHome and it shows up natively in #HomeAssistant. Easy!

A little #ESP8266 project for the week: My cat keeps jumping on the countertops in the kitchen. So here's the quick & dirty prototype: a motion sensor, passive buzzer, and button for arming and disarming. The buzzer is configured to play a 1-second warbling high pitched tone.

This guy spit on me in Bolivia but was otherwise a charming fellow.

A man wearing a blue cap, dark sunglasses, and a dark puffer jacket with a red backpack stands facing a brown llama with a rope halter. They are on a sunlit dirt and grassy area near a small harbor. In the background, groups of people are gathered near several docked boats, some boarding or disembarking. A tree-covered hillside and a few structures rise behind the harbor, with a clear sky and distant water visible.

This image shows three app icons on a mobile device screen, likely grouped into a folder. Each icon represents a different AI assistant app:
1. ChatGPT – A white icon with a black interlocking knot design, labeled “ChatGPT” underneath.
2. Perplexity – A black icon with a white geometric pattern resembling a stylized compass rose or abstract tree, labeled “Perplexity.”
3. Claude – An orange icon with a white burst or sunburst design, labeled “Claude.”

They all look kind of like buttholes.

The background is slightly blurred, emphasizing the app icons.

Also, an update from the original poster.

I made a post a few days ago detailing the events in the last few months between Canada and the USA. American friends of mine seemed completely in the dark about it, so I figured I may as well. I thought 6 people would read it and go on with their lives. I vented my frustration and confusion that it didn't seem like Americans cared about what was happening.
I was wrong.
My post has been shared by almost 30,000 people - mostly Americans. I've received HUNDREDS of messages from Americans showing their support. Most had no idea this was happening and said that it wasn't being covered in the news.
I got messages from people telling me that they cried after reading my post because of how much they love Canadians and don't want to see this happen. I got message after message thanking me for my courage in posting it, something I don't think I deserve.
I didn't get a single negative message. Not a single one.
A sincere and heartfelt thank you go out to the thousands of Americans yesterday that restored my faith in humanity and reignited my hope for a better tomorrow.
Our Canadian and American grandfathers once stormed the beaches of Normandy, shoulder to shoulder, with that same hope.
Let's make em proud.

Yeah I just saw the new article. I had checked the curbs today and they looked legit, but you mentioned they fixed some with gray paint and redid them. And lo and behold….

A sidewalk corner with a cracked and weathered concrete surface. The curb is painted gray, with a section of red paint labeled “NO PARKING” near the corner. Adjacent to the curb is an asphalt road with faint stains and marks. A sloped yellow tactile paving area is visible at the intersection for accessibility, alongside a metal pole near the edge of the sidewalk.
