@DrcharlieWardQ There is an ongoing insurgency in the Nation, ignoring or not taking appropriate action historically on such instances has disastrous consequences for the government. Trump da Chump and his cronies need to wake the fvck up.
@AlexWestQNews Does she know about the white slavery in the 1700-1800, Slavs, Irish, etc? She should shut the fvck up, she knows nothing of oppression.
A surprise visitor to my garden.
It's 4.30 in the morning, the end of a hard night's foraging, and this poor badger mum is going home to her hungry cubs empty handed.
Again.
Badgers don't want to come into gardens.
It's a massive risk to get that close to humans.
This is an act of profound desperation.
She tried digging for worms (which make up 80% of a badger's diet), but the prolonged drought has left the soil baked dry and barren.
The hedgehog feeders were inaccessible and the cat food had all been eaten by the visiting fox family.
She stay for half an hour and left as starving as she arrived.
If a hedgehog had been accessible she would have risked being wounded, just to eat and feed her cubs.
Badgers do NOT hunt hedgehogs, but a starving animal will eat anything to stay alive.
But it's NOT natural.
In fact it's no more natural than starving third world children eating mud.
Or prisoners of war eating pebbles.
Or victims of a mountain plane crash eating each other.
These are acts of desperation.
It's eat this or die.
And why hedgehogs? Why not cats or fox cubs - a much safer and more satisfying meal?
Simply because cats and foxes run away, hedgehogs don't.
And badgers are foragers, not hunters.
You don't need a degree in zoology to know that.
Just your own common sense.
Don't believe the perverts who enjoy hurting animals, or the callous dishonest farmers.
Believe your own eyes.
Just look at that low, squat body and lumbering gait: built for low-gravity stability while digging, and moving through dense undergrowth. Not for chasing down prey.
Look at the small head and downward facing eyes: perfect for focusing on the ground directly in front of their nose to locate worms and insects, but giving them a very limited field of view for spotting or tracking moving animals.
And take a look at those short stumpy legs: designed for power and endurance while excavating setts and turning over soil, making them incapable of the speed or agility required by true hunters.
The physical traits you can see with your own eyes are the textbook definition of a specialised fossorial (digging) forager, not a predator.
Because of this specific anatomy, badgers lack the biological machinery to actively hunt or target other mammals.
They are overwhelmingly, scientifically, anatomically, blatantly obvious ground-level foragers.
The idea that badgers systematically track or target hedgehogs is a narrative pushed by groups looking to justify culls, rather than an accurate description of badger biology.
In reality, a badger's daily life revolves around patiently snuffling through the soil for worms and grubs, and any departure from this is a rare, situational event born of sheer desperation.
So please remember this, next time some deviant shows you a hedgehog pelt, seeking your validation and inciting hatred towards these innocent animals.
@kateiswell A few days after our child was born I could hear my wife who was in another room feeding softly saying "I am a mother... I am a mother..." There was a serenity in her voice and a sense of wonder. I was able to take a pic of the moment... my favorite pic to his day.
@honeyybomb Every one of these sickos posting such videos and saying such things needs to be immediately investigated by Child Protective Services. Protect the Children!
Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.
- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.
He built a language that fit in kilobytes.
50 years later, it runs everything.
Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.
Every iPhone. Every Android.
NASA’s deep space probes.
The International Space Station.
> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.
If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.
He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.
This Legend deserves to be celebrated.
🚨Can anyone get this to story to @LaraLeaTrump or @rickygervais:
Snuggles has been held hostage far to long in Pima County — no visitors (not even family), no activity, and the incident happened on his own property. The County is now blocking emails re this case

Serious question:
if Social Security is "running out, where did all the money everyone paid into it for 50 years actually go?
Because it wasn't invested. It wasn't saved. It was spent on other things and now they're telling us the account is short. Show us your work…
