That reminds me of a cartoon I saw that shows a daddy dog and a puppy looking out at the backyard through the patio door, and the daddy dog is saying:

Remember son, someday all this land that you see before you will be your own personal toilet.

I would so love to pet and play with and nose-boop a mountain lion or any other big cat.

I remember seeing a zookeeper handling a tiger cub that she was showing to a group of children. Someone asked the zookeeper if it bothered her that her hands and arms and legs were covered with scratches and she said no not at all, it’s totally worth it.

Fun fact: there are many different names for the cougar, possibly more than for any other animal, largely because of its vast geographical range.

In English alone there are around 40 different words, most of which are regional or local. The most common names in English are cougar, puma, panther, mountain lion, and catamount. Other names include painter cat, yerba cat, mountain king, American lion, deer tiger, and my favorite, ghost cat.

I saw Hail Mary on Prime the other night and I thought it was wonderful.

It’s a movie that tries very hard to be charming, funny and heartwarming and usually I don’t like that, but in this case I felt like: wow, I really *do* find this charming, funny, and heartwarming. I was hooked.

Hail Mary joins 2001 and Arrival on my very short list of science fiction movies that I love. Like those two movies, Hail Mary has a big vision (in that science fiction way) and it has something to say. And all three movies are about first contact with aliens.

Oh and I think the movie Hail Mary is better than the book, which I liked a lot.

I’m imagining six of these around a dining room table.

And seriously: isn’t this what treadmills and stationary bicycles are for?

Her claim (via a spokesperson IIRC) is that MM’s condition wasn’t serious enough to warrant her staying nearby.
