My dog has been itchy all summer. He even broke open his skin and caused an infection on his shoulder that is still healing 3 months later. The only thing that seems to help (to some extent) are pills that cost $81 for a 30 day supply and he’s itchy as soon as they run out. Time for a new vet?
I have never clicked on a YouTube short on purpose.
Tupac Shakur was a huge presence in my adolescence. All these years later he remains in my top 10 played artists each year. It will be interesting to see if anything comes from the search warrant that was executed in relation to his murder that took place more than 25 years ago.
Instagram ads are creepily on point.

There were some stupid scenes and effects in The Flash but overall I had fun. Shocked at some of the cameos. It probably deserved better at the box office.
I’m really interested in e-bikes. Does anyone have experience with them? What to look out for?
How many times does it need to be said that the GOP is not pro-life and hates poor people?
I did not see this coming. The son-in-law of the blue and black dress lady was charged with trying to kill his wife.
Giant Sloth jewelry shows human arrival in Americas 25,000-27,000 years ago.
Why do all American diners look the same? Architectural Digest finds out.
What a great piece on masculinity.
Google is breaking the web’s social contract. Is it time to rescind our invitation to Google?
Everyone loves my dog and wants to give him treats. Last night that came back to haunt me. Poor little guy must have had too much and woke me up on five separate occasions to take him out. He seems to be doing better now but boy am I tired.
Tools more than 18,000 years old have been unearthed in Oregon.
I never want to use my iPhone as an external webcam on my Mac. I don’t know why every time I accidentally hover over camera settings (on accident) in Teams it prompts me. Leave me alone.
I can’t believe Poop Fiction is a thing but also love that it is.
Matt Langford has a great post on how to verify your domain on Nostr and Bluesky for micro.blog users. This comes in handy if you don’t have access to modify DNS records.
Apple really needs to do something about Siri getting triggered accidentally. It is happening way too often for me, multiple times per week. This is only going to get worse in iOS17 if you drop the “hey” part.
I really do enjoy Nathan Pyle’s Strange Planet comic. It’ll be interesting to see how the animated series on Apple TV Plus pans out.
I really have no interest in Threads. Did people not learn their lessons with the fall of Facebook and even how bad Instagram has become? People actually still trust Meta as a company? Weird.
