My adorable cat Noodles sends her condolences on your passing.

If food is viewed and enjoyed as an experience rather than a necessity as a culture, I think it leads to huge shifts in so many aspects of daily living.

It's not a comparison. RFK Jr. is both.

Everyone needs a space for venting, so maybe this concept would let people purge and be generally more pleasant to be around?

Lonely isn't the right word, because I'm not upset about not having a large group of people I consider myself close to. It's somewhat disappointing that I can't deeply relate to more people, though. I'd like to meet more likeminded folks, but I'm also less and less willing to tolerate draining relationships as I get older. Being particular about where you invest your time and energy tends to be socially limiting.

I live in Wisconsin, and I also grew up with AC. Now I can't imagine doing that to myself or my dog and cats.

Our lilacs bloomed this fall. Mother nature is screaming.

People do notice and talk about it, but they're not making the connection to climate change for some frustrating reason.

I work for a pet food manufacturer, and I talk to people all over the US and Canada. We're located in Wisconsin, so customers will often joke about our notorious winters. When I tell them it's not like we remember and don't even have consistent snow cover during winter months in large parts of the state, they'll reply with similar stories about how the seasons in their areas have changed. People see it, they just aren't following these thoughts to their natural conclusion.

I think it's too frightening for them to accept, which leads to paralysis and inaction. It doesn't help that deniers make this refusal to accept reality more comfortable for them.

Thank you for this comment! I have a cat with FLUTD, and this condition can become fatal quickly if not addressed.

I'd also like to add that declawing can lead to litter box avoidance, and as a consequence, inappropriate elimination in cats. Declawing doesn't just take the nail, but it also either removes or damages he first "knuckle" bone in cats' paws. This can result in nerve damage, which makes cats' natural digging in substrate painful. This is one of many reasons to not declaw your cat. There is no justification for this awful surgery.

I love the juxtaposition of sugar free Coke with sugar added Jack Daniels. Dodging and weaving against diabetes.

I can't unsee mushrooms in its mouth.

Let's not leave El Diablo out, or Little Baby Pudding Snatcher.
