Are rats laughing at you?
1/3 click original post to read the full thread.
BTW, the answer is, we'll never know and the rats will never tell.

Fact Point @factpoint.bsky.social · 1d

Scientists have found that rats make high-pitched ultrasonic sounds when they are tickled, similar to human laughter. These chirps, though too high for humans to hear, show that rats feel happiness and playfulness during such interactions.

Dogs share more similarities with humans than we realize, especially in how emotions affect their sleep. A study by researchers in Hungary found that dogs who experience negative emotions before bedtime, such as being scolded or ignored, tend to have lighter and more restless sleep.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

“Well, I can't forget this evening; And your face when you were leaving; But I guess that's just the way the party goes” Released today in 1971, “Without You” helped define the career of Harry Nilsson. Written by Badfinger’s Pete Ham & Tony Evans, Nilsson’s version reached #1 on the U.S. pop charts.

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

For a half-century, Saturday Night Live has been a part of American popular culture. Premiering this evening in 1975 on NBC, SNL’s first guest host was George Carlin. Janis Ian and Billy Preston performed two songs each. The energetic yet enigmatic Andy Kaufman also made an appearance.

A #Caturday #Thanksgiving by @metzgercartoons.bsky.social.

A cartoon dog says to a cat: You're supposed to say what you're thankful for, not why humans should be thankful for you.
The cat replies: I like my way better.

Prior to malls & shopping centres, stores had architecture & decor. I was fortunate to be born in time to witness the tail end of this trend.

Photo of Orion over Glastonbury Tor.
If you zoom right in on the right of the tower and just above there are what look like scratch marks all going in different directions. They are not on the shot before or after. For information, 10 second exposure. Do you think they are shooting stars?

On "Seven Miles", the Martinic AX73 (Akai AX73 emulation) adds classic analog warmth, with lush pads and period-evoking textures that glue the mix and deepen the WWII narrative.

That sound you hear at the begining of the song is the sound of a doodlebug. A German V-1 flying bomb, known for its buzzing sound and use in terror bombing London during WWII. When the engine…

Harper made Canada the worst climate performer among industrial nations, ranked 58th best by the international Climate Change Performance Index.

Trudeau made Canada an even worse climate arsonist than under Harper, dropping us to an even more dismal 62nd place.
