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

Milo is generally not the one to start trouble (Toby, in particular, is VERY fond of "does this bug you? I'm not touching you" intense staring. It does, in fact, bug him). He is generally the one to end it. And he still won't let me trim his claws. Although he no longer RUNS from the trimmers.

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.

Quinta Brunson: She's got the warmth and the comedy chops to fit right in with the muppets and hold her own in Improv. Ron Funches: Similar Muppety vibe and comedy chops. Kumail Nanjiani: He's in everything else right now and having a great time wherever he goes. Bring him in!

Lupita Nyong'o: Because screw everyone who is freaking out about her being Helen of Troy. Also she's delightful and was fantastic on Sesame Street. She is the new debutante that everyone is jealous of on Pigs in Wigs. Piggy loses this one.

Matt Berry or anyone else from WWDITS, really: Another one I don't even think I need to explain. I think Harvey Guillen would also be a good fit, for very different reasons, as I run down the WWDITS cast. Any of them would knock it out of the park. So would Taika Waititi.

Nat Faxon - He's so much of a chameleon he'd blend right in with the muppets, and one of the writers also writes for Loot, so knows what to do with him. Abbi Jacobson - Comedienne in her own right, and she needs more on-camera roles over getting robbed of another season of League of Their Own.
