apparently this website uses alternate definitions of "very good," "great," and "minimal interference...." unless it's confused about "cloudiness," or "100%?"

Screenshot of a star gazing website that is supposed to tell you the quality of the conditions of the night sky with regard to ease of star gazing. For Tonight's Sky in [location redacted] it says "4 stars Very good. Great night for stargazing with minimal interference." Beneath that are 5 sliders indicating conditions of the darkness by various measures and cloudiness. The cloudiness slider is full red, says overcase, and underneath the slider it says "100% avg cloud cover (bar = cloudiness, red is worse).

Hire better copy editors, @nbcnews.com

Screenshot from an nbc news article on the Catholic schism that includes a sentence fragment that is clearly the initial version of the first line of the next paragraph and should have been erased.

Full text in the screenshot is:
"First Things magazine.

Weigel recalled that Lefebvre was a supporter of the “collaborationist” Vichy regime in France during World War II. One of its original SSPX bishops denied the Holocaust.

The SSPX claims a state of necessity

The SSPX has justified the consecrations by invoking a “state of necessity.” The group says that with only two of the original four bishops surviving, it simply needs more bishops to tend to the needs".

Strawberry moon down the shore (photo by my brother)

Meerkat buds!

Photo of a brown tabby kitten sitting on her haunches with her front legs dangling, like a meerkat or prairie dog will do.

Best meme from @pickleprincess42.bsky.social

I might have my own Bubica, @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social! This brown belted bumble only has one wing and simply appeared in front of me while I was working. After climbing Mount Mels and sipping on my sweat, I got nervous I'd forget she was in my hair and smash her accidentally so she's on a plant

David sent me this photo this morning! Zelda the Nature Nerd! (If you want to know why the door is labeled, it's across from the door between Zelda's half of the house and Batman's, and it's there to remind me to close that door when I go through it so there's no cat violence)

Photo of a cat on the inside of a sliding glass door with a doe outside the door. There is a large paper sign taped to the door that says "DOOR". The cat is looking up at the deer who is looking down at her.

Cosmo opening paragraph

The Vampire Lestat, née Interview with the Vampire season 3, premieres on AMC this Sunday, June 7. Let me help you stay caught up and generally have the best hot vampire summer you can.

Just got back from seeing this. I watched the Ben Vereen stage version approximately 70 billion times as a theater teen, so I had high expectations. I had a really good time and everyone was great but very familiar, shall we say. Totally worth the ticket! And Awa Sal Secka was ah absolute STAR

This is how we lunch (in the shade)

Cassie thinks she's bonding with Zelda. Zelda is thinking "if I get up, is she going to follow me?" (A little while later she booked Zelda's nose and Z decided that being up higher than the kitten was a good plan).

Photo of a white cat with apricot colored ears laying on her side in a low-sided box on the floor. Sprawled on the floor directly is a brown tabby kitten made of all the fluff, her face and front paws right up against the side of the box, trying to play.

Batman likes it when we hang out where he can be nearby.

A very handsome tuxedo cat loafed facing to the right of the image on the arm of a black leather sofa, a papasan chair, a lamp, and a bookcase in the background.

This is what I saw when I came inside after work today and looked up.

A brown tabby cat, almost 11 months old, peers down from the second floor railing (I and my camera were next to the stairs in thr first floor). She has a very "head empty, no thoughts" expression in her wide eyes, with a tinge of concern. How dare I make noise when she had so recently been napping?

Batman protects me when I am in the bathroom, and not just because it's almost dinner time.

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat photo

Tumblr screenshot that says "I didn't google it I duckduckwent it"

Mels@maimysantiago99· May 19

A screenshot of a Tumblr post sharing a screenshot of a tweet.

The tweet says "I interrupted their moment :(" above 2 photos of a pair of swans. In the first photo, they are close together, beaks crossed, seeming to nuzzle one another. In the second, they've both turned to look at the camera, seeming to glare.

The Tumblr poster added their own caption. "my wife and I saw you from across the lake and we think your vibes are rancid."

The girls are bonding! (And Cassie has finally figured out how to jump over the cat gate into the great room as well as out of it (she's been jumping to thr kitchen a lot lately)

Under a table, two cats are sitting on two chairs. On the left is a mostly white cat, facing away, and on the left is a brown tabby looking at the camera. They're about the same size but the white cat is 17 years old and the tabby is 10 months old.

Same cats, but the kitten is underneath the chair the white cat is on, looking up. The white cat is turned toward the camera.

Same kitten on a different room! She and a tuxedo cat are sitting on their own platforms on a beige cat tree, both sitting up and staring over the camera.

This was my fb profile pic for a while before I dumped fb

A meme done in the style of a mid- twentieth century advertisement. A red haired smiling white woman holds a package of KN95 masks next to her face. The text around them reads "It's never too late - to start masking again! You can restart covid safe practices at anytime! No matter when or why you stopped!" in all caps, with "why" underlined.

I got a cellophane bee in the mail today

Photo of a small bee on a piece of mail. It's a touch smaller than a honeybee, looks like it's wearing an oversized fur coat and has a black abdomen.

I know it's not quite right but I immediately looked for "hand" and "gun"

A grid of 16 grey squares with black words on them, from the game connections, where you select 4 things that belong to the same group. A red box has outlined 2 of the words, "car window" and "hook."

This is a reference to a Tumblr meme that took the creepy pasta story Man Door Hand Hook Car Door and made a song out of it, ending the phrase with "GUN".

Zelda rolled over to take a bath. She started by licking Cassie's back paw, but Cass pulled back, so she focused on herself. Then Cassie reached out to test the contact waters. Bats doesn't want to cuddle but maybe Cass can cuddle Zelda some time?
