Benji, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (11 m/o), Pier 40, New York, NY • “He’s terrified of strange men, but you for whatever reason… He’s a celebrity magnet in the West Village. He’s the celebrity, but we’ve met Ryan Reynolds, one of the Hadid sisters, the Italian girls from White Lotus. They totally ignore me but go right up to him. We used to be stopped every five seconds, but now it’s every other walk.”
What celebrities have your dogs met?
August 19 1955: Casa de Fritos Opens
Disneyland’s newest eatery, Casa de Fritos, opens next door to Aunt Jemima’s Pancake House. The Mexican eatery features a Frito Kid chip-dispensing machine. Frito Kid comes to life when guests can place a nickel in a cash box. Frito Kid rolls his eyes, licks his lips, turns his head, and hollers back to an unseen partner inside the mountain to send down a wax-paper bag of Fritos!

Do sharks cuddle?
bunjywunjy answered:
THEY SURE FUCKIN DO.
many sharks are at least moderately social, and if a specific species of shark has the ability to breathe without actually swimming and tends to have a lot of sharks in a fairly small area, well.
they are just going to Pile. and there is simply nothing you can do about it.
also, fun fact! whitetip reef sharks in particular are SO damn cuddly with each other that they'll actively seek out a buddy or ten when they get sleepy!
it's pretty much slumber party or nothing for these guys. you won't find a whitetip sleeping alone except in the most dire and tragic of shark circumstances.
(shhh! they are. SLEEBING)
Shurdh
Shurdh or Shurdhi is a weather and storm god in Albanian pagan mythology, who causes hailstorms and throws thunder and lightning. Shurdh was worshiped in northern Albania until recent times.
Shurdhi is thought to have been an ancient Illyrian god. In some regions of the Albanian Alps the weather and storm god was referred to as Rmoria or I Verbti; the latter is an Albanian adjectival noun meaning "the blind one" that was used in northern Albania also to refer to the fire and wind god. Shurdhi could be related to the sky and lightning god Zojz, and to the presumable sky and weather god Perëndi. Some of Shurdhi's attributes can be found in the mythological figure of drangue.

Here's a nice explanation I found on Reddit (have not fact checked myself)

‘Does the bicycle make women cruel?’ — American cartoon published in the Los Angeles Herald newspaper (13 June, 1897) showing a woman callously cycling over another. The cartoon illustrated an article about an alleged ‘new mania which is afflicting women who ride bicycles’, with the author reporting on several cases of the mania developing in France: ‘physicians found that the first known case of the mania developed last January … That it was cycling that brought the mania on there seems no question. Only wheelwomen have been afflicted with it, and oddly enough, in every instance, they have been over 30 years of age.’ The article concludes that the mania may be the ‘result of the effect upon the nervous system of the intense exhilaration rapid riding brings about’.

A right-wing Christian organization behind successful efforts to roll back LGBTQ2S+ and abortion rights in the U.S. has been working in Canada for years. And while it has racked up some “successes” in this country, it’s near impossible to tell what the group is up to because of Canada’s lax finance laws, leading to calls for greater transparency.
The non-profit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has been a central player in efforts to limit the rights of women, queer and trans people in the U.S. since the 1990s. The organization has been so pervasive and effective in its campaigns to malign LGBTQ2S+ people that it was classified as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The ADF has intervened in numerous high-profile court cases including the recent Supreme Court case 303 Creative, which limited the purview of anti-discrimination legislation, and Dobbs earlier this year, which overturned the right to abortion in the U.S. The ADF is on a roll, with no sign of slowing down. The Guardian reported in June the ADF plans to use “model legislation” and lawsuits to overturn same-sex marriage, enact a total abortion ban and strip away trans rights in the U.S. [...]
