I'm sure the cat is just sleeping, but its pose and the petals reminded me of a painting.

This pandemic is really proving that government has the means to solve all problems they just choose not to

[bemusedlybespectacled]

I studied abroad in London in 2014 and my British Politics professor literally brought in a former homeless woman who had been made not-homeless when, during the 2012 Olympics, she and everyone else were given temporary housing to keep them off the streets. and while some people returned to being homeless afterwards, most people didn’t, because it turns out it’s easier to get a job and be secure if you already have the house thing taken care of.

the government could absolutely fix homelessness today, and it would solve homelessness not just temporarily, but for the long term. but the government chooses not to, not because it’s expensive (it’s more expensive to have homeless people than it is to give them homes), not because it doesn’t work (there are a lot of studies confirming that it does), but because some people think that being poor is a moral failing that can only be solved by shitting on them some more.

I’ve just made a behavioral study on birds (aka. I’ve fed bread to pigeons and crows) and I’d like to conserve the results for posterity:

Pigeons can and will fight each other for even the smallest crumb of bread

When a pigeon picked up a bread crumb and other pigeons are nearby it will spread its wings to ensure the other pigeons can’t get close enough to steal the crumb™

The other , bread stealing pigeons might also spread their wings to make sure that no pigeon can steal the breadcrumb before them

They will steal it straight from another pigeons beak

Pigeons have no manners

They WILL fly at you and hover around your head once they realized you’re the one throwing the crumbs

They have no concept of personal space.

Crows on the other hand are civilized.

They will try to get to the crumb first but when another crow has reached the crumb before them they will accept this and leave them be

However if a pigeon reaches the crumb first they WILL go absolutely feral and peck the pigeon until it surrenders the crumb

Pigeons are reasonably scared of crows and won’t try to steal crumbs from their very pointy stabby beaks

Crows will wait for you to throw the crumbs at an appropriate distance because they do have manners

Unlike pigeons they will also watch you and look right into your eyes, expectantly

If a crow looks at you , waiting, and you throw it a crumb it will try to catch it just like a dog would

Pigeons however don’t notice shit until it lies in front of their face or they see another pigeon found something

Crows understand pointing, pigeons don’t

If the crows are satisfied they will fly away

Pigeons are never satisfied and therefore will bother you until the very end (aka. Until you don’t have any bread left)

They always hunger.

In conclusion:

Feeding crows is more fun than feeding pigeons because crows know the rules of society and pigeons don’t.

how do you sell a website for $3M when your payroll’s probably like $10M a year. i saw that impractical jokers episode when they want to tumblr hq and there were like 50 people in that scene alone. numbers don’t add up and personally i think it’s all to get us to stop talking about how clinton drove to the prison and killed that bad guy

you know what’s legitimately unsettling

finding out that you can’t see most of the corona discharge that goes on around high-voltage electrical equipment, because it’s in the UV range 

but animals can

and it looks like this

here’s another one

consider the fact that this is a thing that happens and you have no idea it’s happening

[daltongraham]

No you know what, I didn’t buy it, but here’s a reputable news source saying it’s true

[bonehandledknife]

@humans-are-space-orcs someone need to write a story on humans coming essentially like bats to aliens and they have no idea how we function without seeing UV

[ferrousferrule]

The first article talks about how reindeer avoid high power lines “because the light reflecting off the snow can be blinding” and when you combine that with the videos, it’s not only blinding, it’s *strobing*. I’d avoid that too!

just wanted to share this baby platypus

[teknomagic]

Okay, this is a pet peeve of mine so I’m going to apologize first because I AM GOING TO GO OFF. 

This is not a baby platypus. Baby platypus looks like this: 

Source

What we have here is a very cute and nicely done art doll made by a russian artist:

As you can see, the first image in this post has misteriously lost the artist’s watermarks. It happens a lot. 

I can’t remember how many times I’ve had to search for the source of these “animal baby pics” and post the correct version because the harm it does has layers. No, that baby animal don’t look like that, it’s misinformation even if the person sharing it has no ill intentions and believes it was the real deal. And there’s an artist going uncredited and losing business because pics of their work are being circulated as “the real thing”. Which they are not. Definitively not. Very cute, but not accurate. 

By the way, the artist behind this platypus doll has a working etsy. Her name is Yulia Leonovich and she makes needle felt animal toys. It took me less than five minutes to find this information by doing an image search on google.
