I got 30hrs out of Animal Well and enjoyed every moment of it :)
I have some Goldenrod plants in the backyard where every summer a few hundred 5-banded Wasps congregate. The males mob a few plants to show themselves off, covering every leaf and branch and stem until they’re weighing the whole plant down, while the females buzz about checking out the dudes to decide who to mate with.
I’m grateful to support that colony; they’ve been on and around the neighborhood longer than I have, and honestly, they’re pretty chill. They’re not going to attack unless you do first, and they’re pollinators.
And for those people who view a mob of several hundred wasps on a single plant as being “gross”, just chill. They got a right to life like we do <3

Created by Peter Luisi, the movie has been marketed as the “first feature film written entirely by AI”.
It follows a celebrated screenwriter called Jack who finds his world shaken when he encounters a cutting-edge AI scriptwriting system.
After initially being sceptical, Jack realises the AI matches his skills and surpasses his empathy and understanding of human emotions.
This sounds like the dumbest movie ever written, by AI or otherwise.
Yes, though it was my sister in law who named her, and this was years before the Netflix version, if that might matter. I don’t know if it does or not, I didn’t finish season 1 :)
Adorable.
Can you pay the cat tax by providing an image of said cat? :)
We had a very special cat who did a lot of chirping and trilling, and at night in the summer we’d keep the back door open with the glass screen door shut, and all sorts of animals could come by and she’d watch them and make various excited noises to let me know when animals were around.
Possums, raccoons, other cats, groundhogs, they all brought excited trills to let me know we had a nocturnal visitor.
One night she was making agitated sounds, but before I got there to see what it was, she made a clear as day “uh-oh” sound, but with a meow. I hurried over to see a fox staring down through the glass at her, while she stared back nervously. Never heard the “uh-oh” before or after except that night.
Yes, I think he would not call people names, he’d instead give lengthy explanations of their shortcomings and failings.
Pretty sure that’s not a direct quote.
Yeah, no Ad blocker on my Lemmy Voyager app :(
Fascinating article ruined by ads overtop of the text on the website
I doubt it’ll have the “Edge sense” (squeeze for actions) feature, but I gotta say, for my U11+ it was a game changer and I miss it
Oooof, I hear that. Things are more political than ever at my work and it’s like, I just want to do my job and go home
Nice dream
The Eyre Affair, by Jasper Fforde. It’s… Okay. Not that great to me, but I’m not a fan of villains chewing up the scenery.
It’s pithy and innocuous though, and not without its charms so I’ll definitely finish it.
No idea
But it’s definitely majestic!
Good call, let me edit
