When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."
From a Reddit forum, a photo of a can of coconut milk with a blue label, papyrus text and a flip-top, on a sidewalk.  It seems to hover because there's no visible shadow.  The pavement is sort of unevenly colored, with bright spots, and the grass along it is green and lush.

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

But I think we need to step back from this mindset that only cares about the end result and abhors the seemingly “wasted” time that was also needed to get there. It’s an entire economy of “now draw the rest of the fucking owl” but everybody is drawing and trying to sell the same owl picture

Thought I would share an update on how Dad's cat is doing. His claws are so deeply into my heart I would have to rip it out to rehome him now. The other cats are less enthusiastic, but a fragile peace generally reigns. His weight loss is going great. Here is is trying to steal mashed potatoes.
A large brown tabby stands on a kitchen floor like a penguin, front paws dangling, as he eyes the countertop.A large brown tabby stands and reaches for unseen potatoes on a countertop, his paw on the top drawer beneath the counter and his head level with the countertop. His belly is much more cat shaped and less basketball shaped than in August.

I wish the new Quantum Leap hadn’t been cancelled. It was exactly what we’ve been missing - a scifi series made on a relatively low budget that produced 20 episodes a year that told low stakes adventures & socially conscious stories. Hell, they even did a “trans woman should be in sports” episode!

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I am so excited about the new Muppet Show and how good it was. Who's ready for my insanely long thread (from my tumblr, of course) about who I think they should ask to guest star when somebody shows some sense and picks this up as a full series? (I'd love to hear yours too).

Gates McFadden told a great story at a Star Trek convention I went to as a kid about Kermit goofing around with her props on a break between takes during her scene in “Muppets Take Manhattan” and finally she goes “KERMIT, STOP THAT!”, like straight to the frog, and the whole crew lost their shit

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style
