Experienced several previously undiscovered emotions today because my (conservative) mom said being gay is a choice because SHE likes women too but she simply chooses not to acknowledge it
This is even weirder because she, moments before, also mentioned that she understood being gay wasn't a choice and some people are simply born that way. So like. Huh.

I just think that if nintendo is going to create a feature that even gets a dedicated button as part of the selling point then you should not need to pay a subscription service just to use it
having a button that you can’t press unless you wanna spend money means that nintendo has recreated the experience of accidentally pressing the internet button on your flip phone and you go you fuckfuckfuck as you try to back out as fast as possible before it charges your parents

They've made woolly mice

What kind of breakthrough does the woolly mouse actually represent? Colossal has certainly proved that it can make a mouse have fluffy hair. Does this mean, then, that a Persian cat is more like a mammoth than a Siamese? You might ask, what does it really mean for something to be "mammoth-like"? It is a good question. "Mammoth-like," as Colossal is using the term, doesn't really mean anything. It could refer to an animal's appearance, its genes, its behavior, or anything, really, that makes it easier to call an animal "mammoth-like." By this definition, people have already invented a "mammoth-like" mouse, as the evolutionary paleontologist Tori Herridge pointed out in a Bluesky thread. They are called fancy mice—first bred in the 1800s in Japan and later became the ancestors of modern lab mice. Some fancy mice are even hairier than the woolly mouse, and some fancy mice were already called "woolly." You might wonder, how is the woolly mouse a step in the direction of a woolly mammoth, but a fancy mouse is not? Another great question. It's not. As Herridge points out in her excellent thread—which is an in-depth analysis of the ways the woolly mouse fails to measure up to Colossal's claims—all the genetic edits Colossal made to their woolly mice were edits already known to produce hairy mice. So what have we learned? A charming rodent can be one of the most powerful tools in a technosavior's pocket. As Nature reported, Colossal is now valued at $10 billion. And what has Colossal produced so far? A hairy mouse that kind of already exists, and a slew of press releases on plans to de-extinct not just mammoths, but also animals like dodos and thylacines. The announcement of the woolly mouse will no doubt rake in even more capital, which was presumably the point and which will probably benefit its investors more than it will a putative, chimerical mammoth. When a company trying to sell itself calls something a "breakthrough," you don't have to believe them.

On top of the Yankees field cat there was a praying mantis on top of the nationals players hat tonight. Huge night in baseball
He was keeping the mantis updated on the number of outs, too

the mantis is making him good at baseball ratatouille style
Listen, nobody on earth is as superstitious as baseball players. My man knows better than to be impolite to the good luck charm that decided to grace him with its presence.
