I really hope I get to be a manul in my next life. I think maybe I could be happy as a manul.

The image shows four pictures of manuls, also known as Pallas' Cat. Their formal name, 'octolobus manul' translates to 'ugly eared cat', as their ears are small, rounded, and placed toward the sides of their heads rather than the pointed, tall, top-placed ears common to most other felines. Their coats resemble a speckled brown tabby with very thick, dense fur.

They are small, antisocial felines that don't even interact with each other very much unless it's breeding season.

They are native to very cold climates and are susceptible to various physical ailments and issues due to their relative isolation and the limited exposure to diseases and other problems more common to less extreme environments. They are small and they are round, with an extremely thick coat to help protect them from the cold; there is a notable video clip of researchers in Mongolia studying the manul population in which the researcher holds one up and cheerfully declares: "Very fat!" in recognition that their insulating fat layer helps protect them from the environment in which they live. They struggle to survive in warmer climates.

Unlike most cats, the manul has round pupils instead of slitted ones, creating a more human appearance in their expressions, which are often seemingly cartoonish and funny whether they are happy, angry, or just plain lazy.

They are most known to the general internet as the cat that will fluff its tail to set its paws on to protect their paw pads from the cold of the snow.

Someone told me once there are no bad manuls, and I really hope that's true.

Similar attacks are occurring in Burqa..people barely escaping with their lives. Israeli settlers attacked the village of Burqa in the West Bank, setting vehicles on fire and attempting to burn a mosque by throwing Molotov cocktails at it. www.wafa.ps/news/2026/6/...

Andrew Tate openly endorses physical and sexual violence. This is him practicing what he preaches. He should be in jail.

right-wing ideology basically boils down to the just-world fallacy, which is also true of a lot of fundamentalist religious viewpoints. “i follow the rules & so bad things won’t happen to me; the bad things that happen to other people are their own fault”. the wake-up from that can be pretty brutal.

Cache as ca-SHAY again. <eyetic> It's pronounced CASH. Stoppit. You're thinking of 'cachet' again, which means something else entirely. A cache is a storage space, often obscured. Cachet is prestige. One is hidey, one is showy. Opposing themes! This is rapidly becoming my #1 newspeeve.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

At long last, there it is: the meme that sums me up better than I ever could have imagined.

Image is a screenshot of a text conversation.

Person 1: Do you want to join my religion?

Person 2: What's your religion?

Person one posts an image of a yin-yang symbol -- a design of black and white comma shapes nested together in a circle -- with Elvira emerging from the black portion and Dolly Parton emerging from the white portion. Both women are smiling, positive, and look triumphant and celebratory.

Person 2: I'm interested.

Friends, this is how my day is going: googling "why is google's AI so stupid that when I have been searching for help with hot flashes in menopause the first article it recommends focuses on increasing blood flow to the penis I do not have?" Then google's AI absolutely mansplained itself.

The screenshot of a google search, AI 'overview':

"AI algorithms often prioritize keywords over nuance. Searching for "hot flashes" and "blood flow" in relation to menopause can confuse the AI. It might pull up articles discussing blood vessel dilation, vaginal atrophy, or sexual wellness treatments (like those using blood flow to the clitoris or penis) rather than the root cause of the hot flashes themselves.Because of this, search engines often surface irrelevant, highly-SEO’d articles. To get targeted, accurate information, bypass broad search engines and use verified women's health platforms:Find a Specialist: Use the provider finder on The Menopause Society to find certified practitioners near you.Reliable Resources: Check the ACOG Menopause Information for clear, symptom-specific medical facts.Telehealth Options: Consider dedicated menopause telehealth and support platforms like Midi Health or Evernow, which connect you with specialized menopause clinicians.

This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional. AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more"

The hot flashes and night sweats have now reached 'wake up unable to breathe' levels. I would go to the doctor at this point, if I could. We naturally lost our insurance entirely this year, and qualify for nothing.
