Little cats mesmerized by big cats.
An episode of Nature on PBS/WFSU about cheetahs and other big cats is showing on a big screen in the den. There is a close-up of cheetah on the screen.  Two 6-month old kittens — a tortie named Magnolia and a white/orange-patched kitty named Cypress — are sitting on the floor, intently staring up at the TV.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

Everyone has spent months and months talking about Maine. But Maine not the only state electing a Senator in November. Florida will have the opportunity to replace Republican Senator Moody with a Democrat. I hope our candidate is Angie Nixon.

I don’t fucking care what shoes my Senator wears. I’d rather her wear some comfortable ass-kicking shoes and show Chuck and his ilk how to deal with fascists. But also, *I* can’t wear most shoes because of my lymphedema, so Rachel Vindman can fuck all the way off with her shallow, judgmental BS.

BlueSky, along with the @democrats.org and @democrats.senate.gov has completely ignored the Florida race for U.S. Senate. I’m voting for Angie Nixon. She’s pro-union, pro-workers, an actual fighter who won’t sit idly by, she can fix a flat, *and* she’s been endorsed by THE Ms Rachel!

How can a school district possibly trust a repurposed, ai-embedded sex doll robot for educational tutorial help let alone think it will be cheaper than a teacher? I mean it just takes “normal” AI output but then puts it through a white dude animatronic? Kids will eat this thing alive.
Realbotix, formerly known as Tokens.com, rebranded after acquiring the hyperrealistic sex doll company RealDoll in 2024. The company recently debuted a new line of unsettlingly lifelike robot companions.

Before tonight, I didn’t know this powerful documentary existed. And before watching it, I knew very little about the Ohio State scandal. For every one of these men, this was their #MeToo moment. And despite everything revealed in that investigation, OSU basically just shrugged.

Three panel comic. In the first panel is a child pointing at a map being asked where is Brazil and identifying it. The second the same thing but for France. Then in the third he is asked "Where is Cabo Verde?" and places his hand over his heart as he says "here".

I saw "left-wing insurgent ousts..." and assumed this was a story about a coup in Latin America, and not the Democratic Party primary in Denver. I'm sure NYT also got extra credit from its corporate overlords for running the most menacing photo they could find (which is not particularly menacing).
NYT headline: "Left-Wing Insurgent Ousts 15-Term Congresswoman in Colorado
Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist, unseated Representative Diana DeGette in a Democratic primary to represent the Denver area."

Benjamin owns a farm. He employs 100 workers plowing his fields. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10 percent productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000 percent productivity gain. The driverless mules cause plow damage to his property in excess of $50 million. Benjamin loses another $5 million due to the loss of productivity from his one remaining employee, who no longer guides a plow but instead spends 100 percent of his time shoveling mule shit.

"A billion people all over the world will be watching America celebrate its 250th birthday with the White House in the background and some of the best athletes in the world in that octagon," he said.
Under the newly signed memorandum of understanding between the State Department and UFC, they "will engage current and former athletes, coaches, and executives as mentors and cultural
ambassadors to deliver overseas clinics, workshops, and training sessions that promote teamwork, leadership, and healthy lifestyles among youth," a State Department spokesperson said.
They "will also develop joint educational content using MMA to teach English and leadership skills, while coordinating on international UFC events to showcase
American excellence alongside our US missions worldwide," the spokesperson said

This is good. Every Democrat thinking about running for President in 2028 should be saying things like this. Also, given the referendum in Puerto Rico, we have at least two too few states.
