Fellow non-Americans—are you using any or all of the U.S. support for Israeli wars and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians, the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the annexation threats against Greenland, or other U.S. policy decisions to move away from U.S. products and services?

A cartoon illustration of dog lying on a bed thinking deeply. Caption reads "Buster would sometimes spend entire afternoons going over and over the idea of an ever expanding universe with its pulsating cepheid variables in the large Magellanic Cloud and what his role was within it all."

Not content with littering up the Earth, the billionaires are now coming for our night sky too. I wish we could shoot all of it down.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

Whether it works or not, I know it would make my day if I walked past a window like that! 🙂

The #Plushtodon trio will greet anyone who walks by this window. Perhaps this type of viral marketing works in the real world. As you can see, they still have their tags on. Perhaps one person will see that, maybe take a picture, share it here, or look into how to acquire on of these. Then it could lead them to using Mastodon as a social media tool. I dunno, a man can dream right. But plenty of folk come and go from here. Especially delivery folks. It's all a pipe dream, but I'm doing my part.

thinking about snake "UÉ?" diagram

Diagram showing the layout of a birds nest made by the Penduline Tit bird. The nest has a concealed real entrance, and a wide-open false entrance that only leads to an unused dead end. The diagram shows a snake entering the false entrance, looking for delicious eggs but finding only empty space. Since this is from a Spanish language textbook, the snake is confusedly exclaiming "UÉ?"

Zootopia 2 took hundreds of artists, TDs, and engineers to make; I was lucky enough to be a small part of it all! Here are some of my personal thoughts/notes from working on Zootopia 2, along with some pretty pictures.

Bayern: Schafherde verirrt sich in einen unterfränkischen Supermarkt

Tierisches Chaos in einem Supermarkt in Bayern: Mitten am Tag hat sich ein Teil einer Schafherde im unterfränkischen Burgsinn in einen Discounter verirrt. Der Schäfer vermutet, dass die etwa 50 Tiere einem Kunden gefolgt sind.
