It’s not bullshit. When I lived in Edmonton, we had a mountain ash tree in our front yard, as did many others along our street. In the winter, the birds would hop from tree to tree, eating the fermented berries, getting more and more blitzed with each ~~bar~~ tree they visited.

Has anyone asked the intern that they put in charge of accounting?

In its analysis of pursuits from media sources, Human Rights Watch identified 10 people killed who were reportedly bystanders—not in the pursued vehicle—and 20 bystanders who were injured. The reports also included the deaths of two children—under the age of 18—including a bystander, and four children who were injured in a crash after a vehicle pursuit.

“These pursuits regularly occur in residential areas or in sensitive areas: around schools, places of worship, and hospitals,” El Paso County Commissioner David Stout said in an interview with Human Rights Watch. “DPS is often conducting pursuits at 80-100 miles per hour. They are putting our lives in danger. Comparing these policies to the Department of Justice and police departments shows that DPS is out of line with all of these other organizations and the best practices they implement.”

Sounds to me like the Department of Public Safety sure doesn’t give a flying fuck about public safety

Canada, USA, Paraguay, Germany. For a while, Brazil, Columbia, The Netherlands, and The Cayman Islands were on that list, too.

Yeah, it shows off the machines really nicely, displays them like they’re art.

 
 

I missed out on much of the Halloween fun as a kid (thanks to my very religious upbringing) and am picking up the slack now as an adult.

This year we watched Hocus Pocus, the original Beetlejuice, Blade, and Interview With The Vampire. The up next list includes The Fly, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, and Labyrinth.

What else should I add to this list?

 

Technically they're littermates...

Snek was found in BC, Canada. Said hello to new frend and then said goodbye.

Snek was maybe 14” long? My friend says it was probably a garter snake.

Edited to mention that there doesn’t seem to be a way to post videos in this instance, so I took a screenshot of a frame instead

 

Obligatory not-my-cat. This is Holly, the new smol. She’s eating the stick end of a feather toy. I’m told it’s the tastiest part.

 

Obligatory not-my-cat. This is my friends lovely void, Jezebel.
