Shoebill stork & son

Literal fur ball.

When cats stop plotting against their owners and start attacking them.

Dogs: Acceleration 10, agility 3.

Wild squirrel enjoys scritches.

Squirrel buries his nut in the fur of a Bernese mountain dog.

Dog who waited six years for a home can't stop smiling.

Darn, I forgot to link this classic for Halloween.

In an update to a Halloween post, the yard decoration of a red-haired girl levitating spookily over a yard -- apparently a character in Stranger Things -- has been taken down due to a neighbor's complaint.

He wasn't just a Grinch. The neat Levitating Girl display drew lots of crowds of strangers to the neighborhood, and he feared the crowds were providing criminals and home invaders with an excuse to go into the neighborhood and case houses.

I don't know -- is that a good enough reason to ask that it be taken down?

Either way, this is what happens when a society decides it no longer wants the law and order of a high-trust society and instead wants the disorder, danger, and fear of a low-trust society.

Dogs come running when they hear the sounds of treats or keys.



Some dogs are guardians and warriors.

Others... lied to get the job.



These dogs, on the other hand, believe that you never leave a dog behind.

2026 ED138. One of the discoveries Vera Rubin recently announced, along with one just a couple days ago, R631, an odd, retrograde highly inclined object about 100km in diameter, which may be a giant comet-like body.

Rubin has been observing these since Dec of 2025 until March, and they just announced them now.

Another interesting thing Vera Rubin is looking for is the dreaded "Planet X", another big planet way out there. Current models have it about 5 earth masses, and roughly 300AU distance, orbital period about 7400 years, eccentric and about 16 degrees inclination.

Rubin has about an 80% chance of seeing it the first two years of operation if it exists. They may already found something, but haven't announced it yet. They'll want to go over years and years of archival data before they'd even think of announcing something this big.

While I'd love for Planet X to exist, OTOH, it would tickle me if it didn't. It's possible some of the observations that suggest it exists are just a coincidence, and if they are not, a very big massive ring of debris way out there could do it as well.

Mike Brown, the one who killed Pluto as a planet, and is damned proud of it, is big on this Planet X model predictions. He'd love to get credit for being the one who predicted it. And I've love for him to be dead wrong.
