highland cattle have it figured out

Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 3d

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

National parks were the main places I wanted my kids to see, and I wrote about them in THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP. Breaks my heart that the book is coming out as Trump tries to make good on his plans to destroy them. I hope my book helps the effort to fight back. www.thelastamericanroadtrip.com

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

"In her own words, hearing these songs resurface is like opening a long-buried chest of jewels, hidden beneath the dust of history and now gleaming again after half a century."

this collection rules. So Savoeun's vocals are the star, but the performances and recordings are incredible all around. listen to the groove on track 12, ឱ!ពពេជចៀប (Oh! Little Peep Bird).
