Scientists have found some dogs have an advanced word-learning ability, a skill that puts them functionally on par with 18-month-old children: They can learn the names of new toys not only through direct instruction but also by eavesdropping on the conversations of their owners.
Dogs Build Their Vocabularies Like Toddlers
Eavesdropping on their owners seems to help some toy-crazy and talented pups learn more words.

Someone who is very knowledgeable about how a national justice system can work on an international case please confirm we have ground to start an investigation of all the French people named in this drop of the Epstein files. I'll sleep better at night if I know there's a chance

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

Oh, y’all weren’t lying! #WonderMan is good. Like GOOD GOOD!!! #Marvel

Never living down the lawful good party pooper rumours 😔

Also quite amused that I could fit all of them and then there's sorcerer 😂😭

Anyway, #WonderMan is genuinely good and you should watch it. I'm tired of watching every POC lead getting sidelined because of shitty marketing. Not to mention, tv!MCU has a lot more to say than film!MCU, you won't regret investing time in it
wdym Marvel has a truly good show out, about the film industry and also male friendships/camaraderie in general, and they're not advertising it AT ALL but somehow Daredevil is everywhere a million years before its launch? The racism they've shown with the promo of their shows is mind-blowing

Catherine O’Hara gave us all so much. Her comedy inspired me. Her characters served as proxy mothers for many of us.

All of our lives, and our culture more broadly, are better because of her life and work.
Catherine O'Hara Dead at 71
Catherine O'Hara -- famous for her work in "Schitt's Creek," "Home Alone," and "Best In Show" -- is dead ... TMZ has learned.

“Despite their supposed victory in the Supreme Court last April, anti-trans campaigners like Sex Matters have encountered failure after failure in their attempts to use the law to bully trans people out of public life."

And If Sex Matters tries to bring another challenge, we’re ready to fight back.

Check out this trailer for the eerie one-shot podcast episode I got to write! It comes out in a few days. I'm excited.

It's set in the same world as Concierge: Postmortem, but you can listen to this one on its own, we give you a bit of grounding text at the start.

One of these days where people I care about deeply showed the feeling is mutual in the most unexpected, spontaneous ways. Training my brain to stop hearing only the bad and to pay attention to these small telltale signs of love ain't easy but def worth feeling like my own toxic positivity poster 😂

Illyria struggles to do her duty to both the Wardens and her people. She needs someone to stop her.

Siam returns to Kirkwall. Even if it destroys her, she can't help herself.

Rin never stopped being involved. Gets the Inquisition up and running again.

They all end up working together.

Kind of excluding Rooks with this one, but what were your older protagonists doing during the time of Veilguard? Were they involved somehow, did they help protect the south, are they done being heroes and enjoy a nice vacation somewhere far from all this mess,...are they even still alive?

Ugh. Black Swan is one of my all-time favs so this adds insult to the injury for me. Absolutely pissed, please let us all make sure this tanks in a way that's humiliating forever

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

This video is a good demonstration BTW that the people saying the anti-trans stuff was intended as preparation for this were dead on. The heart of the video is the exact same talking point: adopted children deserve to be protected and the adoption agencies are not screening carefully enough.
