Notes from Omaha.
There is an organization called the Women’s Fund of Omaha. It has at least a $20m budget; surely most of the money from liberal Susie Buffett.
It was the moving force behind a recent attempt to change the sex ed standards in NE. One thing they wanted was to inform 5th graders about transgender hormones. Thankfully, they were stopped by my friend and GOP candidate for Governor Jim Pillen.
Think about that. Kids don’t have the legal, intellectual or moral authority to make decisions like that but the Left is pushing for it.
The Left is pure evil. The Left won’t protect children.
Thank you Cap’n Rusty, there are so many things I don’t know and now I know how to slow down fast talkers on You Tube. Makes my day.
Anyone interested in the concept of wolf domestication may appreciate the movie, “Alpha.”
I saw it at the theater with one of the female Little Fireflies when she was little-ish, and I don’t remember anything embarrassing or inappropriate. In other words, I think it’s a safe, family film for all ages.
It tells a plausible tale of how the first wolf could have been domesticated. I don’t think the writers intend it as a “best guess.” It’s just an interesting depiction of what humans and wolves were like around the time dogs were domesticated built on a captivating tale of survival. It also provides a good role model of a young person who is resourceful and perseverant.
I saw a video once of some baboons who lived at a dump. They’d kidnap the puppies of the feral dogs there, and bring them in with their baboon family. They’d groom them the way they’d groom reach other. It was theorized that they did this because as the puppies aged into dogs, they’d provide warnings of danger to the baboons. I think they also helped them scavenge a bit. But mostly acted as guitar dogs.
It proved some possible insight into the domestication of dogs: maybe early humans did something similar as well.
Lee @ 8:19pm,
That is amazing!
I recall seeing a PBS “Nova” episode (or perhaps a series of episodes) about the domestication of dogs. It was excellent. One fascinating segment was about a Siberian fox farm that was taken over by the Soviets, who conducted a breeding experiment over 40 or 50 years. They bred the “tame” foxes for tameness, and the “wild” foxes for wildness; the result was (not surprisingly, I suppose) the development of very nice, tame foxes that made wonderful pets, and crazed monster foxes reminiscent of the Tasmanian Devil from the cartoons.
@Boatbuilder:
I wonder if Lysenkoism crept in for a while and they tried to breed tame foxes from wild foxes by permitting a few wild ones to mix with the tame ones for a while without being permitted to mate whilst they were co-mingled? Not an experiment I’d wish to gamble my professional life and well just plain old life on.
Boatbuilder —
I haven’t seen that particular documentary, but I’ve read about the experiment. If memory serves, not only did the tame foxes become very nice pets, they also developed piebald coats and floppy ears. Hmm…
Random Provocative China Shill:
As we all know, Famous Canadian Saint Michael Kovrig was released last week after 3 years in a Chinese slammer for ‘spying’.
Just look at this GloboHomo Rogues Gallery! The world would be a better place if the PRC locked them all up and enrolled them in a live organ donor program.
Scroll down. Everyone’s Favorite ‘Hungarian’ is there. Of course.
@ Capn Rusty > “Click on the gear wheel on the bottom”
I usually prefer to speed them up and get through the presentations faster.
You would think that PBS had enough money to at least buy a few more videos and stills, and not have to repeat the same one so many times.
The old Disney nature movie teams would have done this MUCH better.
@ Bryan > ” they also developed piebald coats and floppy ears. ”
I’m partial to the “explanation” that dogs are descended from wolfs with arrested development, and are fixed permanently in a juvenile phase.
(Apparently latest Superman news is that he has gone full-on homo.)
@ PA Cat > “Have you seen the “Dear Kitten” episode “Regarding the Dog,” in which an older cat explains the feline POV about dogs to a kitten?”
Very cute. Very true.
“Dogs have family. Cats have staff.”
I enjoy visiting with other people’s pets (my neighbor has had very lovely full-blood and half-breed domesticated wolves, as it happens), but my children have been clearly informed that anyone giving Grandma and Grandpa a puppy or kitty to enrich our elder years will be immediately stricken from The Will.
Zaphed @ 3:14am,
“Tennesse currently has a slate of at least 15 anti-LGBTQ bills.”
The news item uses that term and “anti-Trans” numerous times. One of the two adjectives is attached to the noun, “bills” in all the instances where the bills are mentioned. Incredible bias. The first bill mentioned, for example, attempts to limit trans youth competing in school sports.
Even that wording is biased. I’m sure the bill does no such thing, but merely limits minors from competing in sports as a gender other than their birth gender. So they can compete. It doesn’t limit their ability to compete. And couldn’t one just as easily say the opposite stance is anti-girl athlete. The bill protects young girls as athletes so they do not have to compete with (or share a locker room with) biologic males.

Some breeds are more puppy-like than others, but then some kids are more immature than others of the same age.
And most dogs are less mature than most cats.
