Mastodawn

We have a sad tale today from Manchester Piccadilly station.

This is Chocolat. Or at least that's the name printed on their foot.
They're a lovely, cuddly black kitty who was sadly separated from their owner on Platforms 3 & 4 about 19.14.

We heard a tinkle of broken glass and helped their owner tidy up however she had left before I could pass this lovely kitty back to her owner.
Unable to find her on the nearby train we are a bit lost.

Please share this far and wide, across any social media and maybe we can help reunite this poor kitty with their rightful owner.
We will ensure Lost Property here look after her in the meantime.

Did You Know? Animal Facts 1d ago

The Lepus californicus or Black-Tailed Jackrabbit—also called the American Desert Hare—inhabits Mexico and the Eastern and Western United States, in places such as Baja California Sur, Central Washington, the Great Plains, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Southern Florida, Virginia, and Zacatecas. They were described by English zoologist John Edward Gray in 1837. They are one of the world’s smallest jackrabbits, reaching lengths of 61 centimeters or 24 inches (2 ft) and weighing 3 to 6 pounds.

Today is sunny and warm.
I took time from our chores to run Summer down to the beach. She was a very good girl.
There were other dogs on the trail that were very thirsty, in the dry sand, so she let me share her water. We always bring extra just in case.
Summer said that she wanted to send a message out to all of her Mastodon friends.
She says peace and love are the way to make things better for everyone.

My Wife: I’ve seen reports that bears are up and about. Time to bring in the feeder.

Me: Seems awfully early.

My Wife: You said that last year.

Me: I did? Ok, after the weekend.

My Wife: That’s EXACTLY what you said last year. And then when did the bear eat our feeder?

Me: Errr… like Monday night I think.

My Wife: No, it was Sunday morning.

Me: We’ll compromise. How about Saturday night?

SATURDAY, 6:30pm
Me: I took the feeder in. See, no bears.

10 minutes later…

“‘For Orbán in Hungary, it took about four years, for Vučić in Serbia, it took eight years, and for Erdoğan in Turkey and Modi in India, it took about 10 years to accomplish the suppression of democratic institutions that Trump has achieved in only one year’

…

US democracy is now back at the worst recorded level since 1965, when US civil rights laws first introduced de facto universal suffrage. All progress made since then has been erased, according to the report.

Worldwide, democracy has receded to its lowest levels since the mid-70s. ‘The world has never before seen as many countries autocratising at the same time’

…

A record 41% (3.4 billion) of the world’s population currently resides in countries where democracy is deteriorating, the report claims, adding that Washington is leading this global turn away from democracy.”

The very fucking *least* you can do right now is not comply in advance.

Yes, I’m looking at you, tech folks.
