Hahaha. 😂
Love it!
🤣
Can I just have a fucking break? I put a cat down three weeks ago, and now a dog has fucking cancer?
Can I just get a month where nothing fucking goes wrong?
I’m so sorry, that is devastating. Sending you my love, please let me know if I can help in anyway 💜
I’m so sorry. Internet hugs.
Oh shit man I’m sorry, that’s fucked.
so many hugs
Hugs. That’s awful.
Hugs. The worst news. So sorry for you and your family.
I’m so sorry. It doesn’t let up
That’s extremely rough mate. I’m incredibly sorry. I hope some good turns come your way soon and that you dont need to fight battles at work to take some time off
🫂
I’m crossing my fingers for the best
House now in possession of a calendar of semi clad firemen with cats. Not my fault.
Can… Can we see? Please?
Those are some nice cats.
Missed opportunity putting a moustache kitty with the May chap
I love how they’re all comfortably holding the cats except the middle guy, who’s nervously got his arm around that orange
The orange is apparently named Skull, so perhaps the nervousness is justified
The cat is holding a hidden weapon behind his back. Keep patting, hooman
They cheated. They used the same cat twice. Yes, I’m looking at the cats!
Oooh. Nice cats.
Thankyou for your service 🫡
Cats are more naked. Just sayin’.
Especially Miss November
It looks November are both naked.
they have too much trousers on
🤤🤤🤤
🤤🤤🤤

You’re doing your bit for charity.
No, really, it wasn’t me 😹
I wonder what the conversation is like amongst the boys at the station.
Money
My cousin used to sell those fire-fighter calendars. Before he met his girlfriend online, she had actually gone up to him when selling the calendars and asked if he was a fireman. Invisible string theory.
Sorry for the trauma dumping yesterday. I feel a bit less shit(mentally) today I think.
Physically I feel like complete shit lmao. Might be coming down with something. We’ll see.
You need to let it out sometimes. It’s better than bottling it all in.
It can really help knowing you were able to speak and talk about it even if nothing changes.
The sun is beautiful outside. Maybe take 5 mins to go outside and soak it up a little.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
It’s totally fine. It’s understandable to want to keep everything under wraps but sometimes you just need to yell about it
Have you never read any of my comments? That was nothing. Insert “that’s not a trauma dump, THIS is a trauma dump” meme here
Jokes aside, don’t feel embarrassed or apologetic for the trauma dumping. Gotta get it out somehow. Sometimes random internet people are the best option. I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better, and hopefully after a nap you start to recover
I’ve been seeing that cute fluffy cat from may around on the camera feed a lot. It seems to visit us a lot, I’m not sure if it always has, and I’m only noticing because of the camera saving the video, or if it’s gotten lost
In any case, I got a notification that it’s in the backyard so I went out and gave it some scritcheys. Then it was gone just as quick as it came. It seems to have a routine though, it comes in from the driveway, walls last the front camera, sniffs some plants, then goes down the side of the house, squeezes through a gap in the gate, pops up on the back camera a couple of minutes later, goes to the other side of the house, does who knows what there, then does it all again in reverse.
Sounds like I’ve been adopted! Obligatory photos (same ones posted in may, I didn’t take any today):
maybe the notyourcat is secretly training for the olympics as a weight cat
I thought the same thing at first, but on further petting, it’s actually just really really fluffy. It feels quite skinny underneath all the fluff
Nice lunch and a few beers with friends in the city 👌 english pub Sunday roast goes hard
Beef? Lamb? Pork? Chicken?
Lamb!
Whoa! Jackpot!
All of them
♥
Turducken?
A classic pub meal
😂
On my street, the massed chorus of lawnmowers, whippersnippers and blowers has just started up. Right now it’s fairly minor, but I predict it will reach a crescendo later on today.
Wow that’s dedication on a cold Sunday morning
I suspect there are bbqs planned.
I just came to post this, hit 11:30am and suddenly the chorus of lawn mowers and gardening equipment began!
I’ve just caught up on the Australian breakdancer. It’s so very bad. The sprinkler and the play school kangaroo hop moves were great, but the sprayed roach was glorious. I watched on repeat laughing. 5 stars.
I was overwhelmed by cringe and couldn’t watch the whole thing.
so 5 hoppits

Where do I see this? I don’t watch the Olympicals or any other sport, usually seems like a boring waste of time. But I’m feeling left out now
I saw it on tv. I tried to google find a clip for you, but seemed to be a struggle to find it (maybe Olympic content is licensed?). Anyway, this one has the highlights. Breakdance
Oh no. While constructing my mega mousse I think the chocolate cooled down too much and it looks spotty. It tastes delicious though. Ah well. You live and learn and laugh.
How did the mousse go?
We haven’t dug in yet
*shitty mood COVID rant
Still no smell or taste. Busied myself with laundry and mopping to try and stop being angry. Can’t go out in the backyard for too long because MIL had a dude over to cut down the bottlebrush tree and rip half the garden out. She hasn’t got a plan really, just felt like replacing half the garden beds with more bloody lawn 🤦🏼♀️. It wasn’t necessary and looks shithouse, just like the barren wasteland of a front garden I try not to look at. Still strongly positive test, looks like I’m out of work until at least Wednesday. As a casual worker this isn’t good.
I generally despise lawn. It’s boring, water hungry, and itchy. Use clover or chamomile or something instead.
I’d love to do something like that out front. Eliminate lawn altogether, it’s boring and redundant in terms of our particular household. Nobody plays on the front lawn, it’s just useless. Out the back I’d have food production for humans and native birds as my priority. And as little lawn as possible, preferably none! I have to admit, the back lawn is about 60+ years old and has been well looked after (bout the only thing that has lol) and it is pleasant to walk on, but for the amount of time anyone spends actually doing that it’d be better off as something else.
i didn’t know i miss hanging out with people my age that much
💜💜💜
Something just clicked for me with this “raygun” contraversy: Its the outfit. I mean the dancing is… whatever look I’m not one to judge anyones dancing I still cant figure out “Big Fish Little Fish Cardboard Box”. But the green and gold getup is OK for a a cricketer or something, but just embarassing for a dancing routine!
Did anyone actually watch the whole event? She had both the Gold and Silver medalists among her first battles. She frankly never stood a chance.
Not that I could really get through the event, a lot of it was too weird for me, I kept skipping through the routines. She was by no means the only weird one. But yes, turning up in uniform was a bad choice. A few of the girls had “street” versions of their uniforms, but Raygun was the only one who turned up lime she was at the opening ceremony.
My favourite bits were the sign language the girls employed and the sassy things they were saying. The US dancer signed that the neat moves the Chinese dancer did were choreographed and not freestyle. The Chinese straight-up said ‘that was shit’ to something the US girl did.
Nobody said anything about the Aussie girl’s stuff. Maybe it was genuinely too weird to even comment on? Maybe the girls she was facing knew they were in another class and didn’t feel the need to comment?
As a sport, I don’t know that it’s my thing. But there are plenty of traditional sports like dressage and fencing that aren’t my thing either.
The Chinese girl was great - I actually agree that she had pre-programmed moves, but those moves were quite good. The Japanese girl (Ami) who won it was a little battery of joy and energy. I’m very glad she won gold. She was the favourite in our house.
Someone mentioned that to me as well, really did look like a part of the cricket team.
It was interesting to say the least but I don’t think it was up to the same standard as her opponents.
I confess: I was up all night playing contraband police (I was stuck on a level and it was annoying me), playing some missionchief, and messing around with JavaScript and python.
I don’t understand JavaScript and evidently chatgpt doesn’t either, because my attempt at modifying a chrome extension didn’t quite work. But I used it to create a python script to take a few dozen JSON files from a web scraper, de-duplicate them, and output it to a CSV file, which can then be imported to google sheets and bulk archived onto the Wayback machine
I’ve always read JSON as Jason in my head. Now that I found out what it stands for, it could still be JaSON.
The only people I’ve heard pronounce it drastically different from Jason are the tech elitist types. You probably know the ones. The arseholes that spend 13 hours a day on tech/programming forums and nitpick every single fucking thing anybody says
I say it slightly differently from Jason, but barely noticeable. Jason is more like Jas’n, the O mostly vanishes. Similar to Melbourne, it’s not Mel-Born, but you still out yourself as a yank if you say Mel-ben or Mel-bin, because almost everybody from here gets rid of everything between the b and the n. It’s just Melb’n. JSON I pronounce with a more noticeable O. I do not say “Jay Ess Oh Enn”, or JavaScript Object Notation. It’s just Jason with a harder O
The morning sun is out. I’ve taken the deck chair and I’m outside while having lots of toast!
Coffee incoming soon too.
Been awhile since I’ve been able to do this.
Edit. And what giveth, it taketh away too. Just dropped one slice of toast :(
Australia is so beautiful, the colours are just incredible. ISS film footage from July. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojbBLENz15s
That’s incredible. I expected a myriad of space junk.
