I'll wait.
Actually, I won't. Stand down.
Just a normal day looking up how to spell "passel" and then wondering why I suddenly felt the urge to use that word for the first time in my life.

This little guy is clearly running illegal SQUIRREL software on CAT hardware, but I'm still sharing it for #caturday.

I have no idea who originally made this graphic, but whoever you are, you are a genius.
Always remember...
I'm restarting my newsletter, The Hypothesis, after a several-month hiatus. This one is about applied science fiction, and why we should try to solve problems rather than merely admiring them. https://buttondown.email/thehypothesis/archive/i-prefer-not-to-admire-problems/
I prefer not to admire problems

I'm back from a long hiatus on this newsletter, most of which was spent touring for my novel The Terraformers, and finishing up my forthcoming nonfiction...

@markarayner Are you sure that it's not a CAT that is demonically possessed by the soul of the last squirrel to die in battle?
@markarayner ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I love that!
@markarayner Looks to me more like a fork of Hamster...
@markarayner Cats are cute. Squirrels are cute. This mix is like a drug for me. I can't handle it. I think, my software is about to explode from this and I am looking forward to it.
@SophiaFree @markarayner Or maybe your software doesn't explode, but it gets infected by the demonic squirrel spirit that is transmitted via the visual cortex, and the next thing you hear is somebody saying "that is clearly squirrel software running on whatever-you-present-as hardware..."
@mrrmot @markarayner But would my squirrel software be a pasted copy, or would it be missed somewhere else? Would there be a squirrel somewhere, missing it? Would it have bits of my software instead? Would it start throwing nuts at people?
@markarayner please take care to find SQUIRREL hardware which obviously act strange, too. Could bei some kind of gone badly AI project. ๐Ÿ˜ข

@markarayner

They say a fox is a dog running cat software.

So what's a cat running squirrel software? I have no idea, but it's adorable.

@markarayner That glitch made my day. Thank you.
@markarayner have you tried turning it off and on again?

@markarayner

Don't let John Deere catch wind of this...

@markarayner My cat uses her paws as spoons. I don't know what the fuck went wrong there.
@markarayner Well, I donโ€™t think you can post it on #Squirrelturday .

@markarayner

behold this round cat, @womump, for it is round

@markarayner squirrel+cat=squat ... Checks out!
