beige.party/@Moss/115078812831… Moss@beige.party - Two years ago I taught my cat to ring a bell for food. In the first year he only rang it at reasonable meal intervals. Then he started a pattern of ringing but not eating, instead jogging to another room. I took the bell away whenever he did that, and he started rattling dishes purposefully—but not eating. It took me a while to figure out that each time he didn’t eat, he went to look at the drawer where we keep the cat dancer/flirt toys. Now I have to get a different bell for playtime! #Caturday
According to the newly released 35th State of the Climate report, 2024 saw record highs in greenhouse gas concentrations, global land and ocean temperatures, sea levels, and ocean heat content. Glaciers also suffered their largest annual ice loss on record. Data records from ESA’s Climate Change Initiative helped underpin these findings.
Felix Cavalier was the stand-out, but I'd like to add Jay Black (Jay and the Americans) because "Cara Mia" ranks right up there in artistry too, IMHO. The vocal range of that guy, gee. Ricky Nelson was Elvis before there was an Elvis. Marty Robbins' El Paso. Ya, one would have to write a catalogue to be comprehensive of all that pure delight out there.
Here's Jay as an elder, explaining stuff before he launches into Cara Mia: #RIP #JayBlack
What happened to him was sad. The IRS sought to force him to sell the rights to perform as "Jay Black" as well as the trademark for "Jay and the Americans" in order to satisfy his debt to the IRS. He was able to perform as Jay Black but he lost the right to perform as "Jay Black and the Americans"
The final performance as of now by jay black formally of jay black and the Americans of Cara Mia released in 1965 over 50 years earlier. Jay is nearly 80 sti...
@paul Also, Jay Black was not the original Jay of Jay and the Americans, he was actually the second Jay. The original was Jay Traynor, who had a hot with Jay and the Americans with the song "She Cried." He would also be a member of the MYstice ("Hushabye").
@Chuck Miller @Paul Chambers🚧 Yes, I'm aware. It's also the case that Black was lead vocal despite not being the band's namesake. Even when Black was on his own, he clearly had license to continuing to perform the band's music catalog.
Rightwing Evangalists have a different explanation: "the devil is tricking you to believe the scientists." See, it was all part of the plan, from the very beginning of time (which was about 6000 years ago).
The real issues with this idea begin to surface when one takes into account how much the patterns do not seem similar when we account for the real size of Africa which is not accurately represented on most world maps or globes.
@Unus Nemo Yes--the infamous Mercator Projection comes to mind immediately. It's roughly similar, though, despite not being an exact match, and I think sea level changes and erosion need to be accounted for in any differences.
Yes, and there would have no doubt been many pieces lost in the ocean as the titanic plates shifted. Though relatively small on a global comparison could mean millions of acres of lost land that is now part of the ocean floor.

They taught the cat? Or is the cat training them 😉. It is clear to me that a resilient cat can train even the slowest of owners 😁!
