Borrowed from FB.Interesting I never knew this. Now I feel differently about them. “My friend grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad things about pigeons until I pointed something out that he never thought of before.”“We domesticated pigeons. They are (nearly) all over the world because HUMANS BROUGHT THEM THERE. And, they were more than pets. They carried messages. People raced them. They lived spoiled lives as honored human companions for centuries. Then we got telephones and we threw them out like trash.Literally, we threw them away.Their species had already been fully domesticated and they could not survive in the wild; they lost all their survival instincts during the centuries that they lived caged by people.That is why they live in cities with people instead of in a forest somewhere. It’s OUR fault. And not only did we throw them away, but now humans curse them as “winged rats;” casting them as pests.But they don’t know how to live without us, and their instincts tell us that they should trust us. So, they continue to come up to humans and beg for food, because it’s the only survival skill left in their genes. They love us because they were bred by us to feel that way, and yet we hate them.”-I love this post.

After the early morning racket that some rats were making, they are getting something yummy to chew on and hopefully they won't be making any more noise after eating it!

Bought the Samsung S25+ today and now the smart globe in my bedroom has gone offline and won't work in the google home app.Think I will replace it with a tp-link bulb. One I have now is a mirabella one.

For people in Australia, be careful buying meat and make sure it is Australian and not from the USA / Canada / Mexico.

@cy only that Australia has agreed to import meat processed in the US from Canada and Mexico, but what's to stop them placing meat from the USA itself in the delivery and anyway we should be supporting our own farmers!

Borrowed from fakebook.My daughter came home from school and said,“Mom, you’re not going to believe what happened in history class today.”Her teacher told the class they were going to play a game.He walked around the room and whispered to each kid whether they were a witch or just a regular person. Then he gave the instructions:“Form the biggest group you can without a witch. If your group has even one, you all fail.”She said the whole room instantly lit up with suspicion.Everyone started interrogating each other. Are you a witch? How do we know you’re not lying?Some kids clung to one big group, but most broke off into smaller, exclusive cliques. They turned away anyone who seemed uncertain, nervous, or gave off even the slightest hint of being guilty.The energy shifted fast. Suddenly everyone was suspicious of everyone.Whispers. Finger-pointing. Side-eyes. Trust dissolved in minutes.Finally, when all the groups were formed, the teacher said,“Alright, time to find out who fails. Witches, raise your hands.”And not one hand went up.The whole class exploded. “Wait! You messed up the game!”And then the teacher dropped the bomb:“Did I? Were there any actual witches in Salem, or did everyone just believe what they were told?”My daughter said the room went dead silent.That’s when it hit them. No witch was ever needed for the damage to happen. Fear had already done its work. Suspicion alone divided the entire class, turning community into chaos.And isn’t that exactly what we’re seeing today?Different words, same playbook.Instead of “witch,” it’s liberal, conservative, vaxxed, unvaxxed, pro-this, anti-that.The labels shift, but the tactic is the same.Get people scared. Get them suspicious. Get them divided.Then sit back while trust crumbles.The danger was never the witch.The danger is the rumor. The suspicion. The fear. The planted lies.Refuse the whisper. Don’t play the game. Because the second we start hunting “witches,” we’ve already lost.

@PlaystationPixy can't fly the ship to where it should have gone to?I still have the basic ship you start the game with and I am lost as to what I should be doing. When I was last playing I was heading towards another planet when I left the game. *huggles* 🫂

One thing that is a bit odd though. They want you to remove a bracket part and add some washers under where it was and screw it back on without really saying why its needed to be done. Since things are fitting ok, I haven't done that bit yet. Finally managed to add the washers with help of some glue.
