My cat loves string, more than any other play thing. But I had to stop it when I found him with a, um… piece hanging out his butt. (And he actually chewed that one off at both ends, from a “fishing rod” toy.) Careful out there, friends of cats.

In your attempt to piss on Russia, they claim you killed civilians. Piss should no longer be produced, it’s too dangerous.

I love cats. Always trying to be so cool, but then they get comfy and let their guard down and boom, this face. A+

Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, Amazon; They’re everywhere, and come in too many flavors! Inaba (Japan) seems like a quality company, and Churu is well- reviewed (it’s protein puree, high moisture, nothing terrible in it).

My 12 y/o buddy just started eating them (chicken flavor), and goes alarmingly nuts for them. Great for adding water to diet, sick days, meds, etc. (Nulo, Tiki Cat, others also make quality puree pouches.)

My (big ol’) cat used to somehow get all the way on top of an SUV and bite/bump the little stubby antenna. Easy to miss the damage! Bet there’s a bunch of cars out there with (delicious) chewed-up antennas. (They usually unscrew and are replaceable, at least.)

This president has acted like he was owned by the cartels since day one. Good luck to any peace he thought that would bring. Seems like a disaster for their future in the long-term.

Gov Abbott in Texas tried this desperate stunt in 2023. Only one state alone, but it was still a clusterfuck. Anyone relying on goods from Mexico got fucked (tons of things, but esp. perishables, grocery stores). Cost the state and businesses millions. He gave up pretty quickly, the pathetic little piss baby.

I happened upon it thanks to PBS Frontline at YouTube a while ago. https://youtu.be/gvAyykRvPBo I’m sure it captures only 1/1000 of the terror committed by Putin and his toy soldiers, and yet it should be more than enough. Glory to Ukraine.

The special op is… just a bit slow, bless its heart.

I don’t mean to give all credit to Tesla, for the success of BYD. But let’s not pretend that many Chinese companies haven’t earned the reputation for (or even specialized in) “quickly learning” and “producing similar work” from competitors. Tesla still entered the country enthusiastically (sold hard-fought knowledge for short term gain), and are already losing their grip. Best of luck to anyone creating affordable EVs.

I didn’t realize China had already copied Tesla’s product. Absolute lol at M*** for heavily manufacturing there (not just parts, but everything). Copy, paste, rename… BYD.

Technically true, but I don’t think most people would consider upscaling as “faking” an image. However, given a poor quality source (and parameters), I’m sure some terrible “AI” upscalers could produce some kind of massively-modified abomination.

Edit: Taking a closer look, I think this image qualifies. Terribly done at every level, with extreme over-sharpening and hideous artifacts. SMFH.

These clowns have always existed. What has changed is masses of very dumb people being brainwashed and organized, thanks mostly to social media “news”. (Plus the decline of respect and funding for actual journalism.) Idiocracy is here.

Also, when the government’s military is less powerful (or too corrupt, will not fight) than the gang’s military, the gang is now the government (owner). There is no “peace” versus armed gangs with more power and money than the gov.
