hnn! Qrik should make-make pinned squeak so new-new reader-things can better get-understand Qrik... Perhaps-maybe speak-squeak about why Qrik talks-talks this way and: some things about rat superiority and Horned Rat and the treachery of no-furs... Perhaps-maybe with short-short overview statement!

#RodentOfTheDay Neumann's Grass Rat (Arvicanthis neumanni)

"Neumann's Grass Rat is more like a large grass mouse than a rat. It has two distinct populations in eastern Africa, one in Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan and one in Tanzania (and maybe also Kenya)."

Ph/info: www.animal.photos/mamm1/rat-ne...

Three Neumann's Grass Rats are clearly visible in a group of six or more. The three that are prominent are brown-black with smaller ears and eyes. They are eating different vegetables.

Say what, now?

A family member sent me an image of a baby dressed in an elf outfit. My baby. It was adorable—and unnerving.
My cousin took a photo from our group chat and uploaded it to Meta AI. While his heart was in the right place, my mind was spinning. What could Meta do with my son’s face? The privacy policy of Meta Platforms says the company can use these images to “improve AIs and related technology.”
In the age of AI, I can’t control where my—or my son’s—face ends up. Our likenesses are no longer our own.

Extremely rough week without much progress. But here's Flea, being the chillest little pancake.
