I don’t know if we’re prepared for how many people do not and will not give a fuck about serious transmissible infectious disease outbreaks and future pandemics. Considering is already over according to every government and no one is seriously grappling with what happened over the past four years, I’m not hopeful on a large scale

@grivettcarnac I suppose someday politicians will notice that this style of post-birth family destruction is "less pro-life" than abortion. But then, I guess the logic of having 8 billion resource abusive creatures on the planet is not really 'sustainable'. In that sense perhaps, we should not deny families the right to self-destruct.

Sarcasm intended...

As a cat owner, I worry about these numbers:

"The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) estimated that free-roaming cats in the contiguous U.S. kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals "

@stux I know you love cats. I did not intend my comments as a personal affront or accusation. I simply, probably unwisely, chose the opportunity to inform people of a tragic, little known problem.

@stux We have never had that problem. Our cats have always been rescues (except for our first). All were converted to indoor cats without any fuss or muss.

#OTD in 1926.

C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien first meet in Oxford.

Both men served on the English faculty at Oxford University and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. The Inklings were literary enthusiasts who praised the value of narrative in fiction and encouraged the writing of fantasy.
