Carriage Horse Collapses and Dies on 11th Avenue A carriage horse collapsed and died in Hell’s Kitchen this afternoon reigniting scrutiny of New York City’s horse-drawn carriage industry.

BAN CARRIAGE HORSES IN NYC! That city is not made for carriage horses and the horses are regularly abused and mistreated. This poor horse. And she was only 15! w42st.com/post/breakin...

If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Covid Vaccines Have Paved the Way for Cancer Vaccines The mRNA technology behind coronavirus vaccines is now being used to create bespoke vaccines for cancer patients.

A new type of vaccine based on mRNA technology is seen by many as a potential breakthrough in the fight against cancer.

We sat down with oncologist Lennard Lee to discuss why he hopes these vaccines will prove to be the “silver lining of the pandemic.”

The guy that’s doing absolutely nothing, that guy? And how do you reckon he’ll become speaker? Cause Trump damn sure has no plans of free and fair elections or whatever it is you’re still envisioning. Wake up!

Umm, the EPA is already doing Trump’s bidding and so will the DoE, shutdown or no. The rules don’t apply anymore…

Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…

Yes, but Dems could've met with them. Allowed them to speak at the convention. Instead they silenced them, arrested them, and sent more bombs. What did you expect would happen?

What to know about protecting your cat from bird flu A few cats have died from bird flu after eating raw food. And some raw pet food products have been recalled. Here's what to know about the risks to your fur babies, and how to keep them safe.

Sometimes a Nazi Salute Is a Nazi Salute Did Elon Musk intentionally "sieg heil" at Donald Trump's inauguration rally? Sometimes it only matters what you do, not what you intend.

So the Hollywood Reporter is apparently the only media outlet brave enough to point out the obvious observation that doing a nazi salute is perhaps bad, whether or not you meant to, and the normal thing a person would do is apologize for it.

At least 510 hectares of the Pacific Palisades area between Santa Monica and Malibu had burned, officials said, after they had already warned of extreme fire danger from dry, powerful winds.

That other website is unbearable right now if you're a resident of Los Angeles. I knew there were cruel sociopathic people in this world. I just feel sick to be reminded there are so many of them.

Cats in the U.S. Are Contracting Bird Flu: What Pet Parents Need to Know Cases in domesticated cats have risen dramatically over the past year.

PSA for cat owners in the US: cats have been contracting H5N1 (bird flu). They are very susceptible to it and the fatality rate for cats is 67%. To avoid it:

-keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice.

-do not feed them raw dairy

-do not feed them raw meat

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Ash, a sturdy and handsome brown tabby cat with a round face and green eyes.

Willow, a very pretty ticked brown tabby cat with big expressive green eyes and a pink nose.

Our number one Christmas wish is for our wobbly cats Ash & Willow to finally have a forever home, after more than a year in our rescue. We know placing cats with special needs can be hard but we promise these two are worth the wait. Learn more about them & apply at crits4cats.petfinder.org

Possible. One of our previous rescues, a sweet little boy named Shady, knew when my sister, diabetic, went into hypo in her sleep and woke her up/cuddled next to her… 🐈‍⬛💔❤️

Super-sweet senior kitty Tinsel was trying to survive outside, in December, while being blind. 💔 We don’t know exactly what her future will be, but thanks to kind people she’s now safe at the Cat Shack. Help her find the most wonderful home. Adopt: www.facebook.com/1194596703/p... or please share!

Hey guys it’s me Ruth, straight over from the bad app, I have cerebellar hypoplasia. It doesnt cause pain or dizziness, just affects my balance, so I walk a little slowly.

Also - and I’m just spitballing here - non-ovulating people can sign up for it and poison the data in the app.

Hell, sign up your spayed and neutered pets. It don’t care!

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

Love the “solo artist” description… 😎

True, which is why I said most cats. It does come down to personality and experience, also circumstances. Same when it comes to keeping them save outside. But to say that keeping cats indoors is wrong without considering the dangers outside isn’t helping, is it?

COVID restrictions forced temporary suspensions of TNR programs. Rising costs and ‘no pets’ rental policies leave many house cats abandoned in the streets. Increased support of TNR, policy changes and more acceptance of indoor cats would benefit both cats and wildlife…

It’s no more ‘cruel’ than keeping your dog inside. As long as you provide your cat with enough space, stimulus, and companionship, most cats will be perfectly happy and safe from the dangers of densely urban neighbourhoods. A catio or secured balcony/garden would be great, of course!

No. Time to change the UK’s backwards insistence on letting house cats roam their urban neighbourhood, to their own and the wildlife’s detriment - see USA and Australia. Time to change ‘no pets’ rental policies and rising costs that leave 1000s of house cats abandoned in the streets…
