Fursuit arrived, trying it on for my first #FursuitFriday! This is pretty amazing!

Wroommm wrooommm Let's drive super fast into the weekend and have a good time!

It was super fun to drive these cars in the fursuit, but unfortunately with limited speed. We were allowed to drive it unlimited without the fursuit. That was great, because the electrically powered cars had great acceleration.

Sometimes you meet furs you never thought you would at convention, like in 2018 when I met @crash_azarel for the first time at EF then MFF. And I had the pleasure to see him again last NFC alongside the handsome @Tsumef4n 🥰 #FursuitFriday

Another commission of the cyber-deer!
This time showing off his energy-tech powers, he's supposed to be something like Mass Effect Sentinel.
Had fun with this one, I enjoy drawing energy and comic-like action shots, and it's always fun to draw some cyber parts 😎

The summer solstice is upon us, and I've got it made in the shade. Hope you're staying cool out there!
The American road system baffles me for many reasons. The main one being:
🔴 Traffic light red:
You can turn right.
There will be no pedestrians crossing. You have right of way.
🟢 Traffic light green:
You can turn right.
There will be pedestrians crossing in front of you. You do not have right of way.
The squishability hierarchy in the UK Highway Code (the H clauses) introduced a couple of years ago were not well communicated to road users.
In the UK, only Northern Ireland has a jaywalking law, IIRC.
This is how it works in my neighborhood of Chicago, IL, USA. If I'm walking north and south, it's safer to cross on a "DONT WALK" than on a "WALK" signal because traffic will be going straight, looking at me, and driving on a side road with a 25mph speed limit. If I crossed on a "WALK" signal, traffic would be going 35mph, turning, and unable to see me until they turned.
The solution to this is to look all 4 ways before you cross, see who has a green light (or red, they'll make a rolling stop to turn right) then run like hell, and mostly ignore the crosswalk signal. I've got CFS so my "run like hell" is more of a "jog like heck" but I haven't got hit yet.
This is the framing Apple wants to sell for their decision to withhold features from the EU, and blogs are parroting it.
In reality, Apple is purposefully withholding these features from the EU, either because Apple are being retaliatory against EU customers for the existence of the DMA, or because Apple (with full knowledge of the DMA for years) refused to build these features in compliance with it.
Apple chose to harm their products in the EU. The DMA didn't. This framing is marketing.
One day I'll get more art for my komodo dragon taur character as it's been a while since anything more than a sketch has been done of him. He has such a great design that I need to do more with, but it always gets knocked down on the priority list

The Post Office Horizon scandal resulted in the deaths by suicide of four adults. It is rightly seen as a national disgrace.
We now have credible evidence that, since Dec. 2020, 16 trans children have died by suicide while under NHS care. That’s compared to 1 in the 7 years previous. Government policies on trans healthcare are having a real and tragic effect. Labour has promised, if elected, to continue those policies.

I stare into the Abyss, and I know it stares back at me. Slowly, hesitantly, I reach out, and the Abyss reaches out to me.
It pets me.
It is neither warm nor cold, both firm and soft, and very, very comforting.
"Thank you," I say.
Faintly, I hear: "You'd do the same for me."
I don’t know how many people will see this, but you all seemed to be a fan of Foster Dad, so I was thinking…
What if he had an occasional video series where he talked to viewers and answered audience questions, offered life advice/wisdom and general dad-wolf thoughts?
Would anyone be excited for that?

COMPUTER IN THE 1980's: l cease to exist when I am powered off. Please start whatever you were doing from scratch
COMPUTER IN THE 2000's: Yep here you go champ
COMPUTER IN THE 2020's: I stored 10,000 identical copies of what you were doing in 500 different global datacentres at a carbon footprint equivalent to leaving a semi-trailer idling 24/7 and also sent a copy to the FBI just to be safe. Let me know which one you want and I'll do my best to figure it out. By the way here are 10 things which are similar to what you were doing and 9 of them are ads. Do you like this?

🌍 Confuzzled 2024
I like finding errors in articles.
e.g. this article from BBC Weather: https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/c0jj4pd0pg5o
"The solstice always occurs between 20 and 22 June, and during a leap year (such as 2024) it always falls on 20 June."
This isn't exactly true.
It is true for leap years since 2008 as that was 20th 23:08 GMT, however it ends after 2096 as 2100 is not a leap year & the cycle resets.
The 19th century only had 1892 & 1896 and no year in the 20th century fell on June 20th

What is the summer solstice, when is it this year - and does it mean good weather?Darren Bett (BBC Weather)
Although the quote mentioned Leap years, the two years in the 19th century also happened to be leap years.
However, as the 21st century progresses, other years will start falling on the 20th.
The reason why is down to the year 2000 being a leap year, so it's shifted the times back an extra day.
1800, 1900 and 2100 are NOT leap years, hence they start later.
I used https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html as a reference for the times, converting to GMT as needed.
