I'm still amazed Thornton uses his (bought-for- purpose?) basket. Are we sure he's a real cat? The only place Earl Grey won't sleep is her own fabric cave.
Who trained these doggos? Free month of room & board if they can come to my house and get my 18month old hound comfortable with the crate thing and staying alone for more than an hour. We were slowly progressing with the crate, then had a setback yesterday. I’m too old for this!
The best thing we ever did for separation anxiety was to get a second doggo to keep the first one company.
Also because dogs are very egalitarian, any damnfool idea (like "lets knock over the garbage and spread it all over the house!") dog 1 comes up with has to meet the approval of dog 2. (this makes three dogs more dangerous because it only takes two of 3 to agree to the damnfool idea)
Saw that Rudy has landed (in a private plane maybe belonging to Bernie Kerik) in NE Atlanta. TV was saying he hasn't negotiated a bond yet but hopes to do that and turn himself in in one day. Whatever dumbass was reporting was talking about how Rudy was such a RICO expert that this would help him negotiate. I also read somewhere that he's still looking for a GA lawyer. Maybe he'll pro se negotiate....
E-bikes and scooters are great except they do have a couple serious issues that need to be addressed.
We really need them, and I'd love if someone gifted me one BUT, I kind of hate them(this is a big city problem.) I worry I'll get run down by an asshole on one or my apartment building will catch on fire from the batteries being charged.
A couple times a week I'm dodging one of these menaces who are on the sidewalk, running traffic lights and stop signs or going the wrong way down one way streets. They are heavier and faster than regular bikes, getting hit by an e-bike is probably sending you to the hospital. It is an asshole problem too, if an asshole is not riding it, then you're safer.
Then there are the fires started by charging and storing batteries in people's apartments. Fires sparked by these batteries are fast-moving and tough to extinguish.
"NYC, FDNY stepping up enforcement, inspection on e-bike batteries after deadly fire
June 21, 2023"
"this latest incident is the 108th fire related to lithium-ion batteries this year, totaling 13 fatalities."
One of the challenges associated with battery fires is that you need a lot more water than you need putting out other types of fires; so much so that fire departments are starting to adopt fire blankets that deny the fire a source of oxygen
Don't know how that would work when you don't have access to a fairly fire resistant floor
They suggest a rather regimented approach to “chaos gardening” and that’s the opposite of what is the intended experience. Till the soil first, or don’t, then take all your seeds and pitch them onto the soil. Water it gently and walk away. Some seeds do require stratification before they will sprout. Others might require different amounts of nutrients in the soil. Those will either sprout next year, or maybe not at all. Doesn’t matter. If you want total control over every type of seed, then don’t lean into chaos as a therapeutic exercise. Nature doesn’t do such absolute control. It also doesn’t bury most seeds. Circumstance plays a huge role. The point is to embrace the unknown, unpredictable circumstances. Don’t overthink it.

You’ve got world-record doggos in your hed gif today with footage via CBS news. More info here: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/skipping-into-the-record-books
That is so cool and impressive!!
Yeah.... now lets see you do that with cats!

Who tie-dyed them poodles? Those dogs are awesome!
I'm pretty sure that Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite would have had second thoughts about covering that.
Beale would have done it, but he wouldn't have been happy about it.
Ring Lardner was way ahead of his time with that screenplay.
He'd find nowadays pretty homey, wouldn't he?
Yeah. I've heard he's mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.
Followed by "And that's the way it is ..."
And 2 cigarettes... and a scotch neat off cam.
I skipped even reading the actual tabs to immediately comment on the hed gif, because it's so freaking awesome. Thank you!
Good thing Biden wasn't there. He would have patted their heads and we would have lost the world record to Chinese dogs.
Liberal dogs just don’t want work!
This a.m., 5 to be exact, I'm all, "Whar Tabs!?!!"
Whew. That was close.Thanks, Dok

So yes push for these things but plan for the issues that come with them.

If they use the same lighting for PAB's mugshot, he is going to go apeshit over the results.

I'm a chaos gardener. It's usually chaos.
Sort of like Marianne Williamson voters figuring out how to fill out the rest of their ballot.

Yuck!
Hey, at least the kids go to bed early after getting breakfast for dinner. Passed out under the dining room table is close enough to bed, right?
I'm a chaos gardener and I didn't even know it :)
