This is zero percent surprising to anyone who has ever been a caretaker for the descendent of wolves, most particularly border collies and their mixed breed brethren (see: my dog, who figured out how to unclip a carabiner to get past a fence gate lock).
Also, now I would like a wolf, please.

Here's a live feed of 11 Springer Spaniel puppies from Finland. Their mother's name is Maru. She shows up every few hours to feed them. She's understandably fucking tired. Just an adorable pack of potates who excel at bettering your mood.

Not a baseball watcher, and my feed is a perplexing mix of people angry they are still awake, terrifying hurricane news, and political pontificating. Bit discombobulating.

What a lovely story.
Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

As the accursed ostrich situation continues to get simultaneously more stupid and gravely serious, I decided to write up a very long analysis of many of the key issues. Bottom line: so long as this flock lives, it is a threat to Canada's national security. 🧵

Ezra Klein went beyond opposing political violence to extol Charlie Kirk for doing politics "exactly the right way," making up a fictional version of Kirk to praise.
That distortion, with its indulgence of bad faith, is a perfect illustration of the larger media failure that helps Trump.
