The silver fox domestication experiment
In 1959, a Russian geneticist in Siberia was interested in the domestication of wolves into dogs. To study the effects of domestication, he decided to use the silver fox. The experiment is still running after 65 years, and now they have domesticated silver foxes that have some physical characteristics of dogs.
JD Vance is said to be trolling Democrats, but his post may be accurate. NYC just chose a socialist, Zohran Mamdani, as the Democratic candidate for mayor over the former governor, Andrew Cuomo.
Seeing an article about the TV show, Tires, I noticed that Shane Gillis looks like my doctor. The article said that season 2 is much better than season 1, and the show sounded like it was worth a try.
It’s 93o outside, so I’m staying in and catching up on some housecleaning. Sparky wanted to keep me company, but him walking on wet floors wasn’t helping. He doesn’t fully trust the vacuum cleaner. Since I was screwing up his afternoon, he decided to just go to bed until I settled down.
Or maybe Sparky didn’t like what I was listening to on Spotify.
For the first time ever, Sparky got to chase a rabbit by looking where I was pointing.
After reading about the US military bombing of the Iranian nuclear facilities, it feels like Trump makes everything seem so easy. Put America first, and just do it. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but it seems like the world is better off.
Modern physics doesn’t seem to make sense, but the concepts are fascinating. People who know a little modern physics, apply it to situations where it isn’t relevant, like social interactions or pop culture.
Having a Master’s in Engineering and a robotics patent, I was the obvious choice when my sister needed a light bulb changed. This was just a pretext to get me to bring Sparky for a family visit. My sister didn’t need the pretext. Sparky loves car rides, a change of scenery and entertaining a friendly audience.
Why Didn’t We Know Randi Weingarten Was a DNC Member?
Teacher unions are practically a wing of the Democratic Party. No, it’s worse. Teacher unions are actually a wing of the Democratic Party. The heads of both national teacher unions, the AFT and the NEA, were actual members of the Democratic National Committee. It’s news that Randi Weingarten, the head of the AFT, resigned from the DNC because nobody knew she was a member.
This video from the Democratic National Committee promises to “Upgrade Your Life with These Daily Habits”.
Am I a bad person for watching this video? My stand-by ticket to life has already been upgraded to first class, so it feels a little greedy to clamor for more perks.
