Just my totally normal cat sleeping like he's been violently assassinated. Why, why sleep like this?

@zackwhittaker I read something somewhere that humans were the only mammals that could lay on their backs. I was like, “ that is just not true, I believe all of the great apes can. I have personally seen cats lying on their backs, sides, fronts,curled up in a ball with their heads underneath, on a shelf with parts dangling or defying gravity. Are there any other mammals that can do that?

I've been a single issue voter since 2004 on the courts. The undoing of a GOP gerrymander so bad they even had supermajority in one house of the legislature even though the Democrats won the majority of the votes shows the power of that. If more people voted like that for POTUS in recent years we would still have Roe. We would still be able to enact gun control laws like we had until the early-2000s. We would not have resurgence of systemic disenfranchisement of minority voters throughout the country. We would not have had the Wisconsin gerrymander or comparable ones in states like North Carolina long ago. My entire life SCOTUS has been right of center and trending further right with each year. It took a sharp turn right in 2017 thanks to Trump winning the presidency. Until SCOTUS and the federal judiciary are balanced and that balanced state exists long enough for the results to percolate down into real effects I will never be able to vote for the Republican candidate for POTUS or Senate even if there was some magic wand resurgence of moderate Republicanism of mid-20th century. Voting does matter. Elections have consequences for you whether you vote in it or not. Get out and vote. Vote Democratic Party to get these courts fixed and to help us continue moving in the right direction again.

When I was a teen, I was aggressively anti-theist, imagining myself quite clever for demonstrating how silly religious beliefs are.

But life is fucking hard and I learned not to begrudge anyone any solution they’ve come up with to make life a little more comprehensible to them.

I don’t share anyone’s religious beliefs, but it’s not as if I’ve figured out how to run my own life successfully. I shouldn’t be in the business of telling other people how or how not to handle the world.

@kcarruthers no. The kids aren’t the problem. First of all they are over 18 and voting adults, not kids. Secondly, the Republican Party is the problem. They want to enact 18th century solutions to combat 21st century problems.

Ever wondered what it sounds like when you close the door of a 11 metre wide, 9 metre deep, & 16.4 metre high concrete chamber?

Wonder no more – my Test Centre colleague, Jan Demming, demonstrates the ~20 second reverb time of the Large European Acoustic Facility at ESA's ESTEC today 🙉

Normally used to test satellites under the enormously loud conditions of launch, we were in the LEAF today for quite a different purpose 😉

A video showing a man dressed in a blue cleanroom outfit with a hairnet standing by the door of a very large green-painted concrete room. He slams the door and the noise reverberates for many seconds after.

    I find it interesting that Democratic talking heads on YouTube always point to Republicans and say they vote for "party over country”.

    Remind me:

    What does “vote blue no matter who" mean?

    DanadasGrau,
    @DanadasGrau@mastodon.social avatar

    @majorlinux simple, if voting red is voting party over country, then voting blue no matter who is encouraging folks to vote for the party that IS for the country over the party. It is similar to the “ should being tolerant include tolerating the intolerant” debate. The answer is no, because tolerating the intolerant leads to the end of tolerance. Voting reds leads to the end of the country.

    @shoq you know, this turned out more like how people expected the first battle of the civil war to turn out. I guess seditionists have become less effective in the past 150 years. Seriously they broke out the lawn chairs, popcorn and lemonade thinking the rebels would be, in short order, soundly trounced. Wrong!

    But I checked, and Snopes says it's true. https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/08/02/us-literacy-rate/

    Name a movie or TV series where none of the characters are actually good people. Explain why you think that.

    DanadasGrau,
    @DanadasGrau@mastodon.social avatar

    @RickiTarr wouldn’t that be any of them? I mean the human condition is neither “good” or “evil.” Drama is born from the inner struggle of trying to do the right thing when it conflicts with personal enrichment. Nothing more villainous that a character who is, supposedly, a pious, paragon of righteous virtue, that is secretly a greedy sadistic power hungry bastard. Then there is the heart warming, petty thieving street urchin with a heart of gold, who is only trying to survive.

    @RickiTarr I am not a fan of country music at all, so when I hear about artists like the Dixie chicks speaking out against the war, or Maren Morris making public stands in support of LGBTQ community it is redeeming inthe face of the rabidly conservative fan base of country music, that they are willing to take that risk.
