Why Falling Cats Always Seem to Land on Their Feet

"Greg Gbur, a physicist and cat-falling expert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte…"

Yes, a cat-falling expert.

Also, that look on the cat's face.

It's like it was made for the Vince McMahon meme.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

Everything about Giant Pandas makes more sense if you imagine they're drunk 100% of the time.

For example: This is how they pee. They climb their back legs as high as possible (on trees, rocks) to increase chances urine odor catches the breeze to attract mates.

Took a gummy before bed last night and my dream was me debating whether cereal is soup. Is cereal gazpacho?

It’s pretty fucking mind-blowingly stupid that there’s a chance the prosecution of hortman’s murderer gets botched because Trump wanted to do racism against Somalis. The domino effect here is crazy.

A graph using reports from people over papers showing Numbers of reported kidnappings and activity from Minnesota, California, Florida, Texas, and then a combination of all other states. The highest Spike is in mid-January showing that Minnesota was reporting 500 incidents a day while California was reporting right around 100. Along this whole graph, Minnesota is showing at least double reports compared to everyone else with the exception of a time in very early January when California was almost on Pace with what we were seeing here. There is a small heading up top that says: immigration enforcement in Minnesota dwarfed the rest of the nation.

Seeing this visualization has been really impactful for me. There were times when people tried to come at us sideways for claiming this is *different* and massive in a way that we hadn't seen other places. But it really really has been.

And I bought that one so casually decades ago! It's the greatest when an incidentally-purchased album has staying power.

Bluesky - not representative of anything, but pleasant.

Twitter - not representative of anything, but unpleasant.

Facebook - most representative of our society, absolute hell on earth.

Threads - video and photo people on a text app having a collective bout of carbon monoxide poisoning.

I made a chart of Minnesota federal lawsuits with captions of β€œv. [Bondi/Noem/Easterwood/Lyons/Trump]” over the last three months. Almost all of these are immigration habeas corpus cases.

Lollll..... Individual results may vary, as the saying goes. I do think my experience was pretty unique. πŸ˜‚Everyone else I've seen talk about it loves it, and I hope you have a great experience with it too!

β€œI wish I had the answer for why are we doing it,” Star says. β€œIt’s an act of service. I don’t know. And it’sβ€”so you can’t save everybody, right? You maybe can’t even save anybody. Like maybe all we do is frustrate. You know, give someone one more day with their daughter or their dad."

Yes. This.

That book, along with some less than ideal personal circumstances, caused the ground to open up under me, vacuumed up life's meaning, and sunk me into the worse depression of my life in 2011. Can't say I liked it, but can't deny it's a powerful book πŸ˜‚

Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
