A baby aardwolf, an animal that looks like a chihuahua crossed with a zebra and a hyena. Pointed ears stick up on a doglike head with a black muzzle, and the coat has lots of floofy black bits on top, a floofy black tail, and zebra stripes (black and grey alternating) along the rest of the body. I can't find the source for the image.
Meet the cutest animal on Earth, the baby aardwolf.
A close relative of the hyena, this species are insectivorous, eating termites with a sticky, bumpy tongue.
"Aard" means 'earth' in Afrikaans. Unlike aardvarks, the aardwolf doesn't dig, relying on scent & hearing to find already open mounds.
Just from an anecdotal librarian perspective, I think it can both be true that there are more book readers reading more books than ever before in history, while the majority of adults do not regularly read books. But that's probably been true for at least 30 years.
Vaccines save lives.
That’s it. That’s the post.
Starting to read the Bible and catechism at the same time as pre-Christian mythologies (e.g. Greek, Norse). "So somehow these stories are true and these other equally fantastical ones are ancient superstition? That makes no sense." Learning more just dug the hole deeper.

This was my WWII seminar paper back in undergrad! IIRC some planners also claimed occupying Southern Italy opened up airfields for bombing campaigns deeper into Germany and to target the Ploesti oil fields, which they couldn't reach from Britain.

Yeah, same situation with me! That performance was incredible.
Black and white comic panel, from the true crime graphic novel TORSO by Brian Michael Bendis & Marc Andreyko. Cleveland Director of Public Safety Eliot Ness of "Untouchables" fame addressing an audience of upper class citizens who are concerned about the "Torso" serial killer. NESS: I did answer you. I'm not a homicide detective, I'm the Safety Director. We have very excellent detectives working that case, as we have on all the other hundreds of homicides that plague this city every year. Just for a second, let's think about the numbers... I just told you that traffic in this city claimed over 400. The Torso Killer has, sadly, I grant you, sadly claimed the lives of five people... 400!! ...and that we've taken measures to stop that.
Black and white comics panel, from the true crime graphic novel TORSO by Brian Michael Bendis & Marc Andreyko. Upper class man responds to Ness from the previous panel: MAN: What are you talking about? There is a maniac stalking us!
There's a scene like this in the TORSO true crime comic. Cleveland Safety Director Eliot "Untouchables" Ness wants to install traffic lights because 400 people were killed in accidents the previous year, and the upper class crowd freaks out about a serial killer preying on poor anonymous victims.

Whether or not you’re running for Congress and trying to seem rugged (and you probably should run, because, look who’s out there) what did your grandpas do for a living?

This is 100% true, but as the librarian in a family of teachers it also supports my theory that *all* professionals are their own worst clientele.
This dude did it and it's pretty good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ0I...
This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

I read an essay saying early medieval peasants felt that if priests could command demons to stop possessing people and animals through exorcism, they could probably command them to do other things too, like fetch their slippers.
