I totally forgot to do anything special in my classes for Jimmy Carter dying. My assistant who is 60 asked me why I didn't do anything today. He was so old and so distant that it didn't even register to me that I should do something.

I thought about maybe putting on the funeral. So I watched about 5 seconds of it on Youtube and I was bored. I can't dump that shit on the students. No one needs that negativity 9:30 in the morning.

Why do funerals need to be so boring?

I don't want a trad Catholic funeral.

I want the most cosmopolitan celebration of life possible.

I would like a nice Mausoleum though.

Found out an old boss died. He always said he'd be dead before 50 and he wasn't wrong.

Crazy, just saw that.

luigi's situation stinks. how is he expected to get a fair trial when people in power have gone out of their way to smear him (even while ostensibly preferring adjectives like "suspected" in some cases)? various law enforcement have made a point of parading him about like they personally caught the joker? while news sites wring their hands about the potential for sympathetic jurors because of his cult following in social media, i have to wonder where the concern is in those articles about stuff like elected officials already baying for his blood.

people have saint luigi candles. what's going to happen if he "hangs" himself in prison?

hackman's wiki bio is a wild read. had to wince though at the "proud democrat who spoke fondly of reagan" stuff. reagan swayed too many.

weird stuff, those deaths. keeps unfolding into crazy revelations and speculation.

If Gene Hackman had had a cat maybe his wife wouldn't have died.

cats eat their dead owners. and they don't wait long. that lady's week-old corpse would have been in the litter tray.

she (apparently) died of an extremely rare virus that's transmitted chiefly by rodents and their droppings. the sort of thing anyone could get, albeit extremely rarely, around the home. not really a cat vs. dog scenario.

is there a dog equivalent of toxoplasmosis? at least canines don't need to infect their owners with a parasite that brainwashes the host into loving them.

I think any cat parent knows this is their future

Whenever I lay on the floor and played dead the last cat would start gnawing my arm.
I have a video somewhere.

you'd think Death would be used to that sort of thing by now.

also, "pet parent" has to be one of the most obnoxious neologisms of the modern world. "this is my son," that, sir, is a dog. it may sound arbitrary, but i think people put an unhealthy amount of stock in their relationships with their pets. does it help justify all the costs of preventative vet care?

whatever the case, i'm going to expect a confused, unhealthily spoiled animal with bizarre habits when i hear that. "and this is fluffy's chair at the dining room table," what.

side note: cats have skull-cracking force in their bites. that animal can open up a rat head (which should be deterrent enough for letting cat teeth touch skin) like a walnut. imo, if you're bitten by a cat and your skin isn't damaged, it's not a real bite. who does that tiktok stuff anyway, playing injured or dead to see how a pet reacts. there's probably comics for that too.

I thought that only applied to mice.

The shocking reason that this man’s legs and hands were amputated: A dog’s saliva

Then there are simple dog attacks.

First cat: Didn't even nibble me once, did see him bite through a rabbit's head in one chomp.

Second cat: Biting was his way of playing. I had to re-educate his bite force - most cats learn to regulate their play bites as kittens through interaction with other kittens and adult cats. If they are separated too early this doesn't happen. Re-regulation involves grabbing their scruff and pinning them to the floor for a few seconds.

Third cat: Gives the occasional playful nibble.

Experience of third cat has been a bit if a change. First two took time to get settled. This one was completely confident and at home within about five minutes and interacting with us as if she'd known us for years.

dog and cat saliva are both equally bad for
you. if you get bitten by any animal you need a round of shots. somehow i doubt the inside of your cat’s mouth is a germ-free zone. they are both disgusting.

toxoplasmosis is spread from cats to humans. dogs don’t host it. it swiss cheeses your brain more effectively than a lifetime of cocaine so enjoy your remaining years of cognisance with that emotional support fur ball.

dissssgusting!

we could be defeating toxoplasmosis but donald trump has banned research on everything.
