If cats weren't all over the place they'd be expensive "exotic" pets and people would pay like 50k to get their hands on one.

US Pol: ICE lies

"Well ICE broke his rib a week ago so that proves he's a trouble maker!"

...
...

. . .

Maybe. I don't know. This is going to sound crazy but maybe it shows that ICE has been trying to kill him for a whole week instead?

I mean, if he'd so much as given an ICE employee cause to stumble resulting a self-inflicted paper cut we'd KNOW. So it sounds like ICE broke his rib and he didn't shoot them then either.

Even though, you know, self defense and all that.

Anyways.

Please enjoy the funny art I commissioned from mansand about this video:

(this is one of my favorite art commissions ever.)

[Image Description: A large major stands outside of a sugar feeder. A smaller ant is waving a badge in her face but she isn't certain about it. Another small ant enjoys a cup of sugar water watching the interaction. ]

The title of this paper is hilarious to me because it makes the weaver ants sound like angry sugar addicts. 😆😆

However perhaps we should be less judgemental "These findings challenge previous assumptions that sugar feeding consistently enhances the aggression and activity of ants."

(Thanks for pointing me to this @temptoetiam@eldritch.cafe )

Here is a short video I made about how one carpenter ant related to the sugar feeder by their colony.

Cat owners. Which of the following apply to your "cat"?

Not all cats are also "kitty cats" IMO I think this applies to those pet cats that are cute and manipulative OR innocent.

Of course not all cats are "moggies"

And not every cat is even a cat.

I'm VERY anti "Remote Learning" on snow days. Snow days are magical and young people should play video games and have snowball fights.

Or go sledding.

And pester their parents who are doing remote office work to make hot chocolate.

Hmph.

I'm trying not to post "surprised pikachu face" memes about all of the people discovering that tiktok is now censoring coverage of protests, and mentions of Epstein.

And I'm watching as everyone tramples over to Yet Another Corporate Platform where the same thing will happen in a few dozen months.

Ya'll need to get out for real.

Or at least have a backup that doesn't run on OPP (Other People's Platforms)

Story concept:

An early alchemist does a long complex ritual to summon a demon (so it can help him find buried treasure) but, since he's a bit of a shy, sheltered guy, he says "darn you" rather than "damn you" and "to heck" rather than "to hell" when reading The Tome. So instead of a major demon he gets a minor one.

This demon can only do things likes make people's knitting get tangled and cause stubbed toes.

In fact the minor demon is basically just a cat.

It pretends that it doesn't know the location of any treasure. But this is a lie. The truth is it just likes living with the guy and causing minor problems.

But when the alchemist becomes ill and needs money the minor demon decides to share its secret. Can they find the treasure in time?
