Cameron Park Zoo in Waco TX has a new black-footed cat kitten (Felis nigripes). It's exploring grass for the 1st time here. This species is the smallest wild cat in Africa, but with the highest hunting success (~60%). They eat 1/6th their body weight in rodents & birds every night.

Mexico has declared healthcare free for all 130 million citizens. No premiums, co-pays or eligibility tests based on employment, income or residency. Full coverage for all Mexicans is set to be finalized before the 2030. The cost savings over time will offset the upfront investment in expansion.

🫸How to use Surface Slap The #1 asked question about #FFXIV fish is "what do I slap?" And the answer is... not actually super easy, but sort of actually is, so here's an 8 minute video explaining how to figure out what to slap in a bunch of situations. :) youtu.be/dADPxOQeUoU

another thing that really gets me about elpis is that if you're playing a miqo'te, au ra, hrothgar, or viera, meteion is the first person you meet in the ancient unsundered past who looks anything like you. and then you learn exactly what the ancients think of her.

xiv is a love letter to all the other final fantasies and it improves replay value for the rest of the series because you can now point and go

"lol xiv players don't play other final fantasies" did you know that se considers xiv to be onboarding for the franchise. did you know that most players really like it when you explain these references instead of turning your nose down at them did you know that makes them want to play other ffs

New way to view these Data Centers that are draining the communities they implant themselves in... draining resources for slop

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Telling your OC lore out loud to friends is so funny because it looks cool and poignant in your head and then actively telling it makes you feel like a 3 year old holding an etch a sketch

I miss when there were 12 different games every 2 years , instead of 5,000 versions of the same 3 games every year

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…

Ebinya, the mascot of Ebina City, is a cat in a strawberry costume and a shrimp hat.

Your kids are not your property and a lot more people need to be told that

When you can't decide what to make for dinner but you always have noodles, ground beef, cheese, onions and herbs/spices, so pasta surprise it is

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

Coin flip #ff6 #ffvi

if there is one piece of advice i would give to every comic artist on earth, and it's advice i Will be giving to every comic artist on earth later today during the portfolio review: you have got to get good at lettering. you have to care about this. i need you to care about this.

I finally found it! The pot at the end of the rainbow!

THEY'VE CATTED MY BOY?

I think this is one of the best designed little thangs ever

I feel like there needs to be a meme format of Amaurot with "collectivist society that only acknowledges your value as a person so long as it believes you can labor in service of it" written atop it, and then an arrow pointing over it with "wow, cool giant wizard utopia"

her ears... :( fern would be doing all those rural chinese crafting-from-scratch videos and also a lot of mostly-topless blacksmithing. once a crafter always a crafter. herron is a combination sugar baby and private chef so not much changes for him either

Sicard s about to say some shit about ishgardian wine (I’m just fashionably late to the party )

Remember to write just "Illustration" and not "Commission" in your invoices. Cheeky Euphimisims aren't enough. Self policing language sucks but, for now, you're a speakeasy.

"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

Five nights at Freddys guy can continuously donate to republicans, jk Rowling can ruin entire branches of politics with a hatred legal defense fund, but the digital circus and Steven universe creators were queer and made choices fans didn't like and for that they get hate campaigns to ruin them.
