hey shout out to PBS and public libraries

like dudes for real PBS has so many resources for education and stuff. you can watch HOURS of documentaries online for free on their site.

like no joke go on pbs dot org right now and you’ll find an entire netflix of public television with full transcripts to boot. the american experience site alone is loaded with multipart docuseries about american history

the availability can vary but even then watch pbs sometimes!! they have really cool crap on all the time. sometimes they play ballets and broadway shows. (donation ad voice) support public television

And if PBS doesn’t have it, the public library probably will.

The problem is that Lup has big sister energy but Taako, by sheer osmosis of Justin’s powerful big brother energy, has overcome his little brother energy.

In conclusion: Lup and Taako, somehow, are both the older twin.

New guy at work: “Oh, you were in the Army?”

Me: “Yeah.”

New guy: “Thank you for your service!”

Me: “It was bullshit. It’s all bullshit. You ever heard of Smedley Butler?”

“I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. …  I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

–Major General Smedley Butler, United States Marine Corps

I know we’re having a good time laughing it up at Bezos possibly losing half of his money in his divorce but please let’s stop and take a moment to realize that losing 67 billion dollars will have absolutely no impact on his quality of life, which makes for a rudimentary but functional litmus test for determining whether or not someone has too much fucking money

also his ex-wife isn’t going to do anything with that money but hoard it as well

there is nothing inherently more ethical about a female billionaire

Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.

This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.

If we can, we are probably going to keep her.

What a difference a day makes! Took this little guy to the vet, got the fleas and dirt washed off him, got some antibiotics for a slight cold, but he is otherwise fine. Kneading and purring up a storm, eating a lot and being heart-crushingly adorable. 

We have named this glorious creature Nux.

A little over a month later and Nux is growing into a very long and floppy shoulder cat!

Oh my god!!!!

i’m so happy for this cat i hope nux knows im proud of him

I just told him!

The chemical name for vitamin C is “ascorbic acid”. I always used to wonder about this one. Is being ascorbic like being acerbic? Is it like being ascetic? Absorbent? Some combination of all of them?

Today I learned that scorbi is just a Latinish way of writing scurvy. So a-scorbi-c acid is “no-scurvy acid”.

Eat this orange. It’s full of FuckScurvium.

-if you have 1 billion dollars you can spend one dollar a second (or 86,400 dollars a day) and only run out after 31 years

-jeff bezos has a net worth of 112 billion dollars. Assuming he spent 86,000 dollars a day he could live for 3551 years before running out of money

-some of Jeff bezos’ money is invested in things and not easily spendable. Assuming that figure is about 50% of his net worth he will run out of liquid money in 1775 years. If 80% of his money is invested it would be 710 years, at 90% it would be 355 years.

-jeff bezos is 54, assuming he lives to be 90 he has 36 years left to live. If he spends one dollar a second (86400 dollars a day) by the time he dies he will have spent approximately 1.02% of his net worth

-jeff bezos earns an average of 275 million dollars a day. The median salary for an Amazon employee is 28,000 dollars, meaning bezos earns more money in about 10 seconds than his average employee earns in a year

-assuming Jeff bezos continues to earn money at this rate, even if he spends 1 dollar a second, spending more than 3x the money in a day than his average employee earns in a year, he will still die with over 3.7 trillion dollars.
