Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.

The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.

Anonymous has entered the fight against fascism. They already took X down three times today. This should be fun to watch play out…

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:

They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”

Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…

Made in Nicaragua.

They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.

Legendary.

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.

The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.

Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.

While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

from today's post —
I wouldn't put it past these fuckers to do a Saddam-has-WMDs-style gaslighting campaign to invent a pretext for invading Canada.
thanks for reading!
link to the whole post is here: bit.ly/4if7meN
let’s all jawdrop in awe as Donny Convict’s so-called ‘economic advisor’ Kevin Hassett grabs reality by the haunches and gives it a vigorous clownfucking. Kevin says he’s seen photos of secret Canadian drug labs that law enforcement — and by extension, the Canadian government — are allowing to operate. do you see what’s happening here? we’re being lied into some kind of conflict with Canada. it’s Saddam Hussein and the fictitious weapons of mass destruction all over again.

A comic of a green fox, in which Green is sitting in front of his laptop, looking at the screen with grim determination. Green: Alright, time to get that mistake in my taxes corrected! Still on the computer, Green picks up his phone. Green: Heed my call, customer service! Calming somewhat, with his ear still to the phone, Green frowns at the computer screen. Green: Better check the details of the screw-up while I wait. Going from frustration to surprise, Green lowers his phone. Green: Oh, they already fixed it. Blue, speaking from somewhere off-panel: I can suggest some offices to call if you still want to fight people.

From a poetry collection by Mary Oliver, where after a hundred poems showcasing gentle observations on nature and animals, she hits you with this
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

This is Ramsey and Rebel. Ramsey can be a little needy sometimes. But Rebel doesn't mind because Ramsey’s needs are very cozy. 13/10 for both
two sweet pibbles are spooning on an enormous, fluffy, gray dog bed. the big spoon is a gray dog with their ears pinned back, concerned eyebrows, and one front paw tucked around their friend’s waist. the little spoon is brown and white and absolutely basking in this sweet show of affection.
