@mawr no, because 1) acting as admin/mod is a lot closer to the traffic control function of police, which is actually needed, rather than the shoot-unarmed-folks-for-no-substantiable-reason function of police and 2) the part that makes police truly bastardly is they have each other, their union, the judges, the politicians, and the media covering for them so they can do anything, and admins/mods don’t have anything similar.
@chimerror It's just I wind up hearing about how horses are nervous, how they really aren't evolutionarily designed to be particularly good herbivores, and various ailments that can take them out a lot. But sustainable feral populations exist in a batch of really *arid* environments, they're not really equivalent to say giant pandas. I think there's an observer bias.
It's wild how Przewalsky horses are pretty much *the* first instance of feral horses, no true wild horses exist anymore. Basically horses have been surviving without humans in the wild for pretty much as long as humans have tamed horses, so they've got to be profoundly robust in ways nobody really credits.

problems sleeping so hey, look at these really cool cat photos!
@SummerJackel I really *really* wish he wouldn't bring her in, she's obviously not happy and maybe making her happy isn't possible. Every day she's in, she does this, and she pees the carpet at least once.
hey LOOK what's free on YouTube!

sadly neither Surf Nazis Must Die or The Endless Summer are free
@Chip_Unicorn it’s just really annoying, the emotional equivalent of how bad jock itch doesn’t real offer useful self evaluation. Like self hate is sort of a default activity my brain gravitates to while stuck in place anyway, and having the association “stuck in place? That’s when someone tells me how shitty I am!” doesn’t help.
Without invoices to run, furnace repair or oil delivery to schedule, the associated phone calls, or the freedom to simply pull out a sketchpad and draw, but with a small dog barking constantly and likelihood of getting canned, my brain wanders to things like “why are you so fucking stupid?” “You’re not a REAL minority/REALLY disabled” or “you’re too ugly to be a girl/you’re too fucking stupid to be trans” and similar thoughts which, now that I’m no longer 1000% bought in, are real uncomfortable.
Sanders to chair healthcare subcommittee, lobbyists alarmed
Senator Bernie Sanders will head the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee, causing considerable concern among health lobbyists whose job is to turn aside criticism of Pharma's extreme pricing and profits https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/03/health-care-lobbyists-bernie-sanders-00075192
@Chiaroscuro unsure; this was they have all the files, all the business, no phase over, I don’t even know if they’re taking our furnace tech. No nothing. One hell of a surprise.
Quick! Snap into a Slim Jim! I mean shift to Manabozho… I mean Crinos! SHIFT TO CRINOS! #tftuesday #pants?
The small business where I work was recently acquired by a different local business, and while we retain some of our functions the home heating oil/furnace repair stuff I‘d been scheduling and billing has been farmed out to them. This was decided on Sunday, so things are still shaken up, I’m unsure if my job’s going away (which would have some benefits) and obviously it’s a real contrast to the holiday weekend, so… this particular Tuesday is very Monday.
Images, WWII Germans, firearms, animals, implied violence
#drawings today, trying for more action and more figures. Heer regulars somewhere in the USSR around 1943; two wolves pursue a deer through aspens.
@arakin I've seen it and it really didn't work for me, though. Not that MotU is cinematic genius, but it's better.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
