Burrowing owls sound like a thing someone made up and not just an adorable owl that lives in a hole in the ground

I noticed this plant in our garden. I thought it was a weed but I’m starting to think Pica may be either taking or dealing DRUGS. Some of the younger cats like to use this leaf as a decoration. I’m not too out of it to notice what she’s up to!

Pica mouth open high as a kite on nip

Things I learned this morning:

-The bridge is woke.
-The ship that crashed into the bridge is woke.
-It was a Russian or Chinese cyber attack.
-But it was also a false flag.
-Yesterday's legal experts are now structural engineers.
-It will take somewhere between one day and ten years to build a new bridge.

Are there therapists who specialize in helping children who are stressed out giving tech support to their parents?

My mom is a mathematician. She can program w/ punch cards. But, she & Dad just don't keep up with tech anymore. Drives me nuts.

Gave my dad an iPhone for Christmas. They HATE it. Probably would hate any phone. Now they say it's recording their conversations.🙄

Dad holds down the buttons on the side when he picks it up. Activates the voice assistant... they think it's a hacker.

@futurebird It got ugly trying to support my dad. I finally told him I can't - even though it's what I did for a living. My mom on the other hand... It'd be more probable for me to call her for tech support.

No one deserves to be a billionaire. I don't think people fully understand how big 1 billion is. It would take a cheetah 595 days to sprint 1 million miles but it would take a blue whale 25 days to eat 1 billion krill. Absolutely mind-blowing.

@lowqualityfacts coincidentally, a cheetah can eat 25 billionaires in 595 days.

To create utopias you must first imagine them.
