I've been watching Hitler's Inner Circle on Netflix. It's impossible not to compare the behavior of his henchmen with the current admin. Very eerie. I try to learn as much as I can about WWII to ensure we never forget all the atrocities committed.

Monkey or ape??
One easy tip to spot the difference between primates is to look for a tail. Most monkeys have tails, but apes - including gibbons - do not have visible tails.

Indiana has passed new legislation that allows bobcat trapping for the first time since 1969, when the state's only native cat species was driven to near extinction by hunting and trapping.
Bobcat trapping returns after 56 years. Some fear this will hurt once endangered felines
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources opened the controversial bobcat trapping season this month. Some say more data is needed.

#Colorado Parks & Wildlife just released a report and policy recommendations that leave 14 species — including beavers, bobcats, and red foxes — at risk of being killed for their fur in unlimited numbers during hunting and trapping season.

As a pop culture nut, I love the Golden Globes. Noms are out.

Did you know that the Canadian government issued Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus Canadian citizenship?
In fact, there is some evidence to say that Santa is indeed Canadain.
This is the story of Santa's Canadian connections!

I'm running a fundraiser for our local animal shelter in honor of our wonderful Fergus who passed away this year. I just really needed to do something to keep his kind and loving spirit alive by helping other shelter kitties like him. Please consider a donation if you can! ❤️ givebutter.com/n5l31M

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

It's a cuddle puddle of sky puppies!
These Pygmy Fruit-eating Bats are another one of my neighbors here at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica
They cut along the midrib of banana leaves to make them collapse into a protected little house. And then they cuddle with each other and wonder why this strange man is looking at them.

She's still a f*cking snake. Don't trust anything she says.
LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well
STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people
MTG: I'd like for you to respond to that

The Dull-mantled Antbird is a fun one. These birds are fiercely territorial and loud. If you happen across their territory, they'll let you know about it. They like steep, wet ravines with thick vegetation and don't like coming out in the open.

Super outstanding animal.
So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
