Has anyone thanked the #dogs and #cats of social media lately? All the #animals we make friends with need thanking, and fresh treats.
I need your pets to know they are doin great work, existing, being cute or adorably ugly as they may be.
There are only so many things right with the world today, and I have some hope at least #pets are some of the brightest of those things.

The Alouatta pigra or YucatĂĄn Black Howler, also called the Guatemalan Black Howler, is indigenous to Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, and the YucatĂĄn Peninsula. They were described by American paleozoologist, mammalogist, and former mammal curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, Barbara Lawrence (Schevill), in 1933. They are the largest species of howler monkey and the largest monkey in Central America, reaching lengths of 3 to 4ft, and weigh 14 to 25 pounds.

Juba Weaver
A fairly small, compact weaver with a large bill. Breeding males are colorful, with a black head, a red eye, a rufous chest, and a yellow belly and back. Females and non-breeding males are dull olive-gray with pale buffy underparts and a pale patch at the base of the otherwise black bill. Found very locally in riverside thickets in dry country, often in small flocks. Similar to Black-headed and Golden-backed Weavers, but separated by range. Females and non-breeding males can be cautiously identified by the pale patch on the bill and by the overall size and shape. Vocalizations are typical of weavers: âchikâ notes and a scratchy âradio staticâ song.

I just noticed something quite interesting. The Home, Notifications, and Mentions feeds are quite different in TweeseCake and TWBlue, with the latter being quite behind. I'm not sure why. Maybe, they use different methods of retrieving information from Friendica or are set to do so at differing intervals.
I appreciate it, it means a lot! đ

What a wonderful merit vs. ideology dialog.
Well, as far as I remember my history lessons, the world always belonged to the people who adopt merit. Ideology is the goddess of the mediocracy.

Tumblrâs fediverse integration might finally happen soon.
A spokesperson told TechCrunch that Tumblr will join the open social web once it finishes its move to WordPress.
When the migration is complete, Tumblr users will be able to federate their blogs through ActivityPub. Users may even gain access to âother open web integrations,â such as the ability to ârun other custom plug-ins or themes,â TechCrunch reports.

King Malcom Canmore hit his breaking point. For years, Malcom had tried to strike a friendship with the new Norman rulers of England. And when Rufus claimed the throne, those efforts continued. On the advice of Duke Robert and others, had even tried to just submit to the new English Kingâs demands in the hopes that there would be some sort of peace between the Kingdoms.

Black-eyed children are a modern folkloric phenomenon. They resemble children or teenagers, but with incredibly pale skin and entirely black eyes. They have been seen hitch-hiking, begging and appearing at the doors of houses. They are said to behave in a robotic or soulless manner and to exude an aura of evil and menace. The legend seems to go back to the mid-1990s, after a Texan journalist reported two encounters with black-eyed kids. The British tabloid 'The Daily Star' ran three sensationalist stories about them, connected with a haunted pub in Staffordshire. Some believe the children may be ghosts; others claim they are vampires or aliens. #folklore #weird #gothic #paranormal #ghosts

Rescuers in Scotland saved an exhausted cat who was trapped underground during a storm for 5 days.
The SPCA was called to the site of a Dundee apartment building where the cries of 15-year-old Cleo the Bengal cat had gotten the attention of residents.
Cleo became trapped when she squeezed through a tiny hole to escape the chaos of Atlantic Storm Eowyn which recently battered the UK with winds and rain.

@f4grx @chebra pretty sure what I read was about Alphafold. The Wikipedia page notes several caveats on its hype:
- "some researchers noted that the accuracy was insufficient for a third of its predictions, and that it did not reveal the underlying mechanism or rules of protein folding for the protein folding problem remains unsolved"

V.34 is a kind of modem used for internet access in the 90s. Sometimes loading the images on a page took so long the browser gave up.
@postweber ah, ok. I have been trying a bunch of things to optimize these screenshots, but the core problem is that the Wayback Machine always has at least some broken images. What I want to prevent is the *whole* page being broken, so am still trying to find a technique to not post those screenshots.
