Throwback to when my dad built their 18 year old cat a little ramp so he could keep sleeping in his favorite spot on top of the dryer 🥺🥺 #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday
Little ramp going from the top of the dryer halfway to the ground, with a laundry basket next to it for the final jump

Hello, #Winter. Nice to see you again.

#Montana #photography

Sun shines from behind fluffy grey and white clouds, casting dark shadows of snow covered trees on newly fallen snow
snow clings to the seeds of a solitary grass, bent over by the weight of snow, in front of a snowy forest
The bare branches of a dead tree form an oval frame, inside which is a distant snowy forested hillside, under dense, gray, foggy sky
The sun weakly lightens a patch of dense, grey clouds above a stand of conifer trees flocked with snow. One small pine tree is bowed under the weight of a complete cover of rime

Three spice jars are shown, one is marked cinnamon, one marked paprika, the third is marked "cinaprika."

I really want to be interested in this "dark forest theory of the internet" but just listened to their podcast about the economics of it and they just went on and on about using substack and discord as if that was somehow revelatory? I couldn't get the point of what they were saying at all. Then they talked about how charging for membership of their closed group didn't really make money but helped weed people out, with no consideration that some people don't have spare cash? Then went into crypto and I tuned out but there was something about tax..

@neauoire I find their stuff really interesting and I take it more as coming from the perspective of a lot of people working in various art/culture industries where tech is not necessarily a person’s strength or focus, and these are the tools that are being commonly used to cobble together a way to make a living from all of it online. They were on the nft train but seemed like one of the few that believed there could be something real in it in terms of new opportunities for creative work (and have since moved away from those ideas that didn’t pan out)

Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts

The dramatic shift in oversight comes at a time when the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food, which accounts for the vast majority of the nation’s seafood and more than half its fresh fruit.

The image shows a cat lying on its side, comfortably stretched out across what appears to be an outdoor pavement. The feline's fur is a mix of light beige and dark brown tones, with longer hair particularly visible around the neck and tail area, suggesting it might be a breed known for such features like a Persian or Exotic Shorthair cat. Its eyes are half-closed, its head tilted slightly to one side as if observing something out of frame. The pavement is made up of rectangular tiles with visible grout lines between them.

New addition to the display: a #Mastodon #Plushtodon! 3rd new item in the past year... I got the bald eagle at Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria, Oregon and the kangaroo at Port Campbell National Park in Victoria, Australia. The Linux Tux penguins and XCOR Lynxes are all more than a decade old. The Plushtodon was shipped from Germany - but I didn't go there to get it. #SocialMedia

There was a minor fad in the 1920's for player piano add-ons, that were on wheels and you pushed up in front of the piano. They took a standard player piano scroll and had (usually only 55) fingers that pushed on the piano keys to play it, so you could get one if you already had a piano but wanted the latest thing in self-playing. They didn't have rotary pedals, but ones more like a stairmaster, which drove a rotary element that ran three air pumps. Three for the same reason industrial power is three phase: because when you have three air systems firing evenly, you always have a stable amount of energy, either electrical or vacuum, coming out, where single and two phase systems have points at which the energy production drops to zero briefly so you have to provide some sort of energy storage.
