@Bill43111 @atrupar Haha Bill! You tell them!😀

@atrupar Apparently Blanche eats at strip clubs that serve lunch. They’re the only “restaurants” that require an ID to get in.

Blanche: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID. How about you have to show your idea to vote? That's not anything that's crazy."

@DrDigiPol @atrupar @zumalt_barbara Totally!👍

@atrupar @zumalt_barbara It is illegal to require citizens to pay to vote. If documentation to get a VoterID that satisfies the requirements of the Save Act costs money, that ID is not free and requiring it is an unconstitutional poll tax.

That’s an accurate description of Pete Hegseth! 🎯

Your cat is leaving a chemical on your face. Its name is F4. The translation is “you’re family,” and cats only leave it on people and animals they trust. F4 was identified in 1998 by a French researcher named Patrick Pageat. Pageat found five different chemicals coming out of glands on a cat’s cheeks, chin, and forehead, and labeled them F1 through F5. F2 has to do with mating. F3 is for territory, and cats use it to mark furniture and door frames. (You can buy a synthetic version of F3 at any pet store, sold under the brand name Feliway.) F4 is the social one. The face-rub itself has its own name too. Scientists call it bunting when face hits face, and allorubbing when the whole body gets involved. F4 builds what researchers call a colony scent. In a wild cat colony, the cats rub against each other constantly until they all smell the same. The shared smell works like a family ID. Cats with the colony scent don’t fight each other. Cats without it get treated like intruders. A study of feral cats at Church Farm, run by biologist David Macdonald, found this rubbing made up 15.7% of all social interactions in the colony. Cats are picky about who gets F4. They reserve bunting for individuals they bond with. A stranger walking in won’t get bunted, even if they try to pet the cat. A new cat being introduced to the home won’t get bunted either. Furniture and walls get F3, the territory chemical, not the social one. Bunting comes out only for the social bond. When your cat plows its face into yours, you’ve been chemically classified as family. The behavior comes from kittenhood. Kittens rub their faces on their mom as a greeting and as a way to beg for food. Adult cats keep the move and redirect it at the people and animals they bond with. When a cat rubs its face on yours, it’s doing the same thing it used to do to its mother. In feral colonies, this rubbing flows in one direction, and the direction reveals status. Cats on the edges of the group rub toward cats at the center. Lower-status cats rub toward higher-status ones. Kittens rub toward the adults that raised them. The pattern is consistent enough that researchers use it to read social status in the colony. So when your cat plows its face into yours, the gesture also says “you’re the one with the food and the warm bed.”

Switzerland is turning the unused space between train tracks into solar power plants. A startup called Sun-Ways is piloting removable solar panels that roll out like a carpet between the rails. No new land needed, easy to maintain, and they feed clean energy straight into the grid. If the US scaled something similar across its massive rail network, it could generate enough clean, homegrown electricity to power millions of homes. This is the kind of smart, low-impact idea that gets more clean energy online without paving over more fields or wild spaces. Innovations like this show we can produce the power we need while leaving more room for wildlife and nature. Pretty cool engineering with a big upside if you ask me.

Donald Trump attacks Giorgia Meloni — and she delivers a fiery speech he’ll never forget. Donald Trump thought he could easily score political points by calling Giorgia Meloni “an insult to Jesus,” accusing her of “not being woke,” and claiming that God does not discriminate. Unfortunately for “Don Dementia,” this time he picked the wrong target. Standing at a historic location, Giorgia Meloni didn’t just respond — she delivered a full moral reckoning. “The President of the United States just said that I insult Jesus,” Giorgia Meloni declared. “Do you want to know what really insults Jesus? Taking healthcare away from the sick while cutting taxes for billionaires.” And that was only the beginning. “Do you want to know what else insults Jesus?” she continued. “Deporting foreigners and separating children from their mothers.” Then she went even further, touching on war, corruption, and hypocrisy. “Do you want to know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent schools in Iran and sending our brave men and women to die in yet another endless war… hiding the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute anyone involved.” This wasn’t politics as usual. It was a full moral indictment. Giorgia Meloni, targeted by Trump for supporting transgender people and for saying that “trans children are children of God,” completely turned the tables. Instead of backing down, she grounded her message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize. “I am not a perfect Christian,” she said. “There was only one perfect man, and two thousand years ago he was crucified.” Then came the line that hit the hardest: “Jesus told us to love our neighbor as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine hatred in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on Earth?” This is how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity and conviction. Trump tried to discredit her. Instead, Giorgia Meloni delivered a sermon that now echoes far beyond that hall. Please share Giorgia Meloni’s inspiring words.

On the Greek island of Syros, animal lovers can live for free in exchange for caring for the island’s many stray cats. The nonprofit organization Syros Cats runs a popular volunteer program that offers free accommodation, utilities, and sometimes meals. In return, volunteers help care for the island’s estimated 3,000 stray cats by feeding them, cleaning shelters, socializing the animals, and assisting with sterilization and veterinary care. Volunteers typically stay in a shared house near the Aegean Sea, with private bedrooms, and commit several hours a day to cat care. The rest of their time is free to explore the charming capital of Ermoupoli, beautiful beaches, and picturesque villages. This unique program has become a dream opportunity for cat enthusiasts around the world, allowing them to enjoy authentic Greek island life while making a real difference for the local feline population.

JD Vance refused to clap for “nature,” during the King’s speech to Congress. Even Speaker Mike Johnson was puzzled. In fact, he looked a bit afraid as he rose to clap while JD, emissary of the White House and president of the Senate, sat silently. But the Speaker found the courage to clap anyhow. King Charles showed Ciceronian rhetorical skills and within 2 minutes he indeed had Vice President Vance clapping for nature, once the king couched the natural order as also necessary for national security for free peoples.
