Fun fact: Tardigrades can dehydrate themselves, a process known as entering the "tun" state, which allows them to survive extreme dryness and the vacuum of space.
Also fun fact: Tardigrades play tiny cellos for Trump and his failing brand.

We are healthier with these critters in our lives, even when they're being a total pain in the ass.
Here's our girl protesting our pending move. She thinks we won't move the bed with her on it.

It is quite something to behold. It's as if the entirety of the US administration has regressed to a new mean established by the #Moron in chief.

With all due respect, JD Vance can go fuck himself in the face. If not for shit, the entirety of the Trump administration would have no brains.

If we want to understand human behaviour, we need only look at chimpanzee behaviour. Our executive functioning is more advanced compared to the chimp, but we are tribal and violent just like our lower-order cousins. I wish we'd do a better job applying our exec. functioning to situations.

There are only so many ignorant chuds available in 🇨🇦. Now, if Canada...say... codified a US style of democracy that kept the ignorant poorly informed, he'd have the numbers for his populist bullshit.
