California banned Kars4Kids ads on May 8, 2026 for seriously misleading people.
That catchy 1-877-KARS-4-KIDS jingle made donating your car sound like it helped needy kids all across the country.
But most funds went straight to their sister group Oorah for specific Orthodox Jewish programs like yeshivas summer camps and trips to Israel. 👀
Not the broad help for underprivileged kids that donors expected at all.
People felt totally scammed. The court slammed it as false advertising. They have until early June to add real disclosures or pull the ads.
Kars4Kids is appealing but this deception went on way too long.
2D animation never lost the stigma of being "for kids" that it got in the 1970s when Hanna-Barbera started making cartoons really cheap and aimed at children because they have lower standards, which was compounded by the "30-minute toy commercial" era of the 1980s that was precipitated by the loosening of advertising laws. In the mid 1990s and early 2000s, 3D CGI animation became the hot new thing, and the popularity of Pixar with both children and adults convinced every major studio to go all in on CGI.
The 2D era ended with a handful of big-budget flops like Titan A.E. which, on paper, should have been a huge success since it came out around the same time as Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, but audiences at the time felt it was too dark and violent for little kids while the older boys and young men it was aimed at felt it was too immature for them simply because it was 2D animation. This prompted 20th Century Fox to shut down their animation studio and ended the career of Don Bluth, who was perhaps the biggest name in 2D animation throughout the 1990s.
This happened around the same time Shrek became a massive success. To any animation studio at the time, it would have been obvious that they should embrace 3D CGI, so that's what ended up dominating to this day.
Be extremely careful with the tick crisis taking place right now in America
A little kid says he has a tick on him. He’s little so the parent thinks he’s pretending
It doesn’t seem like anything’s there, but then when you look very closely, there are tiny black ticks crawling around on this kid
When you look up close and zoom in, it’s clear they are ticks
I’ll keep reminding everyone, all over America people are saying tick boxes are being dropped
- Rep Tim Burchett says Bill Gates is behind this increase in ticks
- Pfizer is researching a vaccine for Lyme disease
- Lyme disease comes from ticks
- Bill Gates has been behind funding tick modification research
This is serious, people are getting sick
CDC data shows weekly emergency room visits for tick bites are the highest for this time of year. Rates are reaching 114 visits per 100,000 ED visits nationally
Doctors and health officials have described it as a potentially “bad year” for tick-borne illnesses, with an early and aggressive start to the season
Every year 476,000 Americans are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease. That number is about to skyrocket right at the same time Pfizer is creating a vaccine…
Amazing coincidence
Experts say it’s just a bad year due to climate change and acorns
saw this and had a random thought.
if Italy were ever weakened to the point where they had no control of muslim mobs, the muslims would absolutely rage and smash every bit of classical and renaissance art still left.
and we know this because it's what they have done in their own conquered regions and continue to do throughout the world to this very day.
nearly every day you hear about some church or some shrine getting defaced or burned to the ground. yesterday i saw a bunch of muslims try to burn down a set of giant doors to some Italian estate or building with a hairspray and lighter improvised torch.
we really have no respect for what muslims will do to our Western traditional history or people if they ever get the edge on power to do so.
they will destroy everything, rape and kill in the most barbaric ways imaginable while the so called "moderate muslims" look onward.
Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful wooden troll
April has been a rough month due to emergency surgeries for both Chip and Dora, as well as Dotty’s untimely passing💔 These events in addition to the routine veterinary care for the other sanctuary buns has proved quite costly. Please consider a small donation or a repost🐇🙏❤️
Every year, thousands of families buy a live rabbit for Easter. A few weeks later, thousands are abandoned in parks and backyards.
Domesticated rabbits are the third most abandoned pet in America, behind dogs and cats.
They are not wild animals. They can't eat what wild rabbits eat. They can't dig a warren alone.
Their white or piebald coats are a beacon to every hawk, coyote, and stray cat in the neighborhood. Their flight instinct has been bred out of them.
A domesticated rabbit released "to be free" is usually dead within days.
They need a vet who sees exotic animals, a diet of hay, fresh greens, and specific pellets, multiple hours of exercise outside the cage daily, and a quiet home that doesn't scare them.
They hit bunny puberty at 5-8 months and start spraying, chewing furniture, and showing aggression unless they're neutered.
They are not a starter pet for a 6-year-old who will be bored of them by July.
If you already have one and can't keep it, your local House Rabbit Society chapter takes surrenders. Most animal shelters do too. It's not a failure to return them, it's what protects them.
Every February, 70% of the commercial honey bees in the United States, roughly two million colonies, are loaded onto lorries and driven to California. They are going to pollinate the almonds.
80% of the world's almonds come from one valley in California. Over 1.3 million acres of nothing but almond trees, blooming for three weeks in monoculture, requiring more pollinators than the state can produce on its own. So the bees are trucked in from every corner of the country. Florida. New York. Montana.
The bees are fed sugar water for the journey because their own honey has been removed to lighten the load.
They arrive in the Central Valley to a landscape that is, for three weeks, pink and white blossom, and for the other forty-nine weeks of the year, dead. Nothing to eat. No forage. No diversity. Just almond trees and bare dirt, sprayed regularly with fungicides and insecticides that were deemed bee-safe in adult bees but turn out to be lethal to larvae when combined.
In February 2025, commercial beekeepers reported the worst die-off on record. Around 60% of commercial honey bee colonies in the United States dead in a single pollination season. Financial losses estimated well over $139 million. Some beekeepers lost 90 to 100% of their colonies.
The almonds are marketed as plant-based. Clean. Ethical. The preferred alternative.
The preferred alternative requires the single largest managed pollination event in human history and it is quietly killing the pollinators faster than they can be replaced.
Every glass of almond milk is, statistically, a small contribution to the largest pollinator die-off on record.
This is not in the advertising.
