American Kennel Club Harms French Bulldogs’ Health, PETA Says in Suit

This article explains that French bulldogs are so genetically unfortunate, that PETA is suing the AKC. I didn’t read the article because the bulldog in the photo seems to have a lot of shit to deal with. The article did motivate me to look up the 23 Healthiest Dog Breeds With the Least Illnesses.

Since beagles are number 2 on the list, I decided to rate those dog breeds on which is the best. My rating is based solely on the photo and my ability to know what dogs are thinking.

Sparky met a new dog, and was not at his best. It was embarrassing, but Sparky had fun.

“Bastille Day” is how you say, “4^th of July” in the metric system.

This video explains Bastille Day in less than 3 minutes.

WSJ: A Pet Food Giant’s Mission to Understand Cats

The Mars company makes M&M’s, Snickers and other human food, along with pet food brands like IAMS, Eukanuba, Pedigree and Sheba.

The pet food giant had a problem. Cats were rapidly catching up to dogs as America’s favorite pets, but the company was filled with people who didn’t fully understand the mercurial creatures—or their owners.

So Mars launched a mission to get its dog-loving workers inside cats’ heads.

Pew Research: People in Many Countries Consider the U.S. an Important Ally

For this Pew Research Center analysis, we asked respondents in 25 nations which country they think is the most important ally to their own. Then we asked which country they think poses the greatest threat to their own.

Pew Research surveyed almost 30,000 people and looked at the ally/enemy question several different ways. Respondents didn’t choose from a list, but could write anything down.

What if Trump won in 2020?

America Would Be Better Off If Trump Won in 2020

At first blush, the idea that things would be better had Trump been peacefully re-inaugurated on January 20, 2021, seems nuts. But we can all agree it would have been good if there had been no “stop the steal” rally, no gatherings of Christian-right extremists blowing shofars, no Capitol riot, no shattered windows, no dead or injured police officers, and no enduring right-wing myth of a rigged election.

An interesting thought experiment by a Leftist.

Upgrading Murderbot TV show to an 8.

July 12, 2025 / Richard Nestoff / 0 Comments

After three episodes, I posted that The Murderbot TV show is a disappointing 6/10. The rest of the season has redeemed the show. Murderbot had a slow start, but turned into a great show.

Sparky didn’t get to chase a rabbit this morning, so he explored the creek instead. He is pretty nimble and surefooted.

OTC Ivermectin

These States Now Allow OTC Ivermectin, and More May Follow

Currently four states — Tennessee, Arkansas, Idaho, and Louisiana — have passed OTC Ivermectin laws.

Federalism and states being the laboratories of democracy, is a good idea, but it seems odd that states set their own pharmacy laws. Since they do, it’s good to make Ivermectin an OTC medication. I might have hookworms. You don’t know.
