This take is pretty gross. People are allowed to have families, and those families should be safe.

While this is an interesting article, I feel like in the current state of twitter Alt right accounts are promoted whatever you like. When I was on it I followed feminist type pages, local news, some left wing comedians, I was still frequently offered Andrew Tate and the like.

Awful woman

My local nextdoor has an issue with non white people in vans. Like normal builders eating their lunch and Sharon down the road is posting “Anyone know why this man is here? Stayed there for 45 minutes, very suspicious, might be stealing dogs”.

I absolutely agree. I did however listen to the audio of him gloating over the attack on Nancy Pelosi and her husband and it made me sick. I could never celebrate violence but I have a little less anger for those who are striking out at Trump.

Why are you doing 7 hours of homework as an adult?

You can add lots of toys and treats to keep them amused. Remember at a rescue place each cat has much less space than a room, sometimes a glorified box. It would be really sad if you have to send them back, but I will say I’ve adopted a lot of adult cats and it’s never happened to me. There’s a chance, but I think it’s fairly low.

Have you considered fostering for a rescue? That way you can save a cat and you can get a better idea how your cat will react.

Most cats do like company if introduced very slowly. Like over a couple of months. If it was me I’d probably try it.

Rockets are cool, they go to the moon, there’s not really a fun use of the word ‘bomb’

I don’t think that would be allowed in the UK, you can’t tell kids to eat bombs.

You call it a bomb pop? We call them rocket lollys, I assumed that the rocket part would be universal.

I think that’s probably it. I know it’s always a game when you get the clothes out the dryer after a while to work out if it’s still damp or if it’s just cold.

I’ve mentioned this before but I worked at a zoo and we provided all kinds of plants to primates that were medicinal for just this reason, they’re very clever and often treat their illnesses before the keepers even know they’re sick. Not just great apes either, capuchins and lemurs that aren’t nearly as bright do it too.

They were certainly feared but aren’t as dangerous as say, a tiger, which we keep regularly. Their poo suggests a herbivorous diet so unlikely to be hunting anything regularly, probably more like a cassowary that attack for defence.

Fun fact I learned this week, humans have no sense for water, we work out something is wet by combining things, like if it’s cold, if the pressure is different, if it’s moving past us, but can’t actually tell wetness.

I think Moa are a cool candidate for de-extinction, cause we have close relatives, they wouldn’t be too dangerous, and we could house them well in zoos. Plus I’d super like to see one.

Zoos have known this for a long while, this study from London zoo went into it in 2006, and look at the sources going back into the 90’s.

It’s cool that this new study has come out, but this isn’t news really.

I’m getting paywalled and can’t be bothered getting around it but I’ve read a lot about this from the researchers who study it, it’s quite interesting. Is it possible that cells can have memory? Of course. Could energy persist beyond the physical? Sure.

I wouldn’t call myself a believer but I’m definitely a curious observer.

I think you’re confused between which part of a socialist dictatorship is socialism and which part is dictatorship.

Most, if not all countries have a level of socialism, US has less than say France, who have less than Norway, etc.

I got into pizza dough over covid. I currently have three different 00 flours. It’s really fun to try different things though, how long you do each thing, how much of what goes in, pizza stones, baking trays, etc. I’m not at my perfect pizza yet but definitely like what I’m making.
