The black-footed cat (Felis nigripes), also called the small-spotted cat, is the smallest wild cat in Africa, having a head-and-body length of 35–52 cm (14–20 in). Despite its name, only the soles of its feet are black or dark brown. With its bold small spots and stripes on the tawny fur, it is well camouflaged, especially on moonlit nights. It bears black streaks running from the corners of the eyes along the cheeks, and its banded tail has a black tip.
The first black-footed cat known to science was discovered in the northern Karoo of South Africa and described in 1824. It is endemic to the arid steppes and grassland savannas of Southern Africa. It was recorded in southern Botswana, but only a few authentic records exist in Namibia, in southern Angola and in southern Zimbabwe. Due to its restricted distribution, it has been listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List since 2002. The population is suspected to be declining due to poaching of prey species for human consumption as bushmeat, persecution, traffic accidents, and predation by herding dogs.
The black-footed cat has been studied using radio telemetry since 1993. This research allowed direct observation of its behaviour in its natural habitat. It usually rests in burrows during the day and hunts at night. It moves between 5 and 16 km (3 and 10 mi) on average in search of small rodents and birds. It feeds on 40 different vertebrates and kills up to 14 small animals per night. It can catch birds in flight, jumping up to 1.4 m (5 ft) high, and also attacks mammals and birds much heavier than itself. A female usually gives birth to two kittens during the Southern Hemisphere summer between October and March. They are weaned at the age of two months and become independent after four months of age at the latest.

I think that when they remove a name from one of those Victims of Communism monuments because it turns out the person was the bad kind of nazi, they should be forced to put that name on another monument across the street. Maybe call it something like “Gotta Hand It To You On This One of Communism” monument

Oh, huh, in this case they both make sense as public urinals.
CW: genocide
Studying the history/archaeology of the Americas is so depressing and infuriating. It’s just picking through the remains of a continent spanning genocide and trying to recover what you can.
I’m reading a paper on mobility and the use of travois and some of the major sources they use come from accounts given by American troops after they’ve finished murdering indigenous villages and watching the survivors trying to escape.
Another article mentioned various artforms that are no longer practiced due to the “interruption of the tradition” when they were forced from their homelands and onto reserves.
It’s just all so fucking bleak. America (and Canada let’s not let them off easy) really is just Nazi Germany if they succeeded in their goals


The entire British establishment supported Nazism.
When anticommunists whine about Soviets signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact they ignore that the British spent the entire 1930s claiming that Britain and Nazi Germany will be a bulwark against communism and signed three pacts with Hitler which were all directly against the Soviet Union: the Four Powers Pact meant to exclude and isolate the Soviets, the Naval Agreement meant Germany could have a navy up 35% of the British navy meaning it wouldn’t threaten British empire but every country on the Baltic sea… i.e. the Soviet Union, and finally the Munich Betrayal which was understood to be a gesture of a “free hand” (British diplomat’s words not mine) for Hitler to go east.
In spite of these difficulties he (Lord Halifax) and other members of the British Government were fully aware that the Fuhrer had not only achieved a great deal inside Germany herself, but that, by destroying Communism in his country, he had barred its road to Western Europe, and that Germany therefore could rightly be regarded as a bulwark of the West against Bolshevism
and
In spite of these difficulties he (Lord Halifax) recognised that the Chancellor had not only performed great services in Germany, but also, as he would no doubt feel, had been able by preventing the entry of Communism into his own country, to bar Its passage further West. The Prime Minister held the view that it should be possible to find a solution of out differences by an open exchange of views
Documents And Materials Relating To The Eve Of The Second World War Vol. 1
When the Soviets liberated Germany they were able to get a huge cache of British diplomatic documents. The Soviets released the above book and Documents And Materials Relating To The Eve Of The Second World War Vol. 2 full to the brim of diplomats praising Nazi Germany as a twin pillar alongside Britain stopping communism.
Lenin pointed this out in Imperialism: The Highest Stage Of Capitalism and dug a quote out from Cecil Rhodes (a disgusting colonial piece of shit) who said:
I was in the East End of London (a working-class quarter) yesterday and attended a meeting of the unemployed. I listened to the wild speeches, which were just a cry for ‘bread! bread!’ and on my way home I pondered over the scene and I became more than ever convinced of the importance of imperialism… My cherished idea is a solution for the social problem, i.e., in order to save the 40,000,000 inhabitants of the United Kingdom from a bloody civil war, we colonial statesmen must acquire new lands to settle the surplus population, to provide new markets for the goods produced in the factories and mines. The Empire, as I have always said, is a bread and butter question. If you want to avoid civil war, you must become imperialists.
The imperialists have understood for a long time to prevent socialist revolution they must by all means have new lands, new markets, new pools of cheap labour to rinse to placate the workers in imperialist nations.
The only real difference between someone like Churchill and Hitler was Hitler waged this violence against Europeans for his Lebensraum.

Man, I’m considering unsubscribing from Trashfuture. They’ve really lost their magic lately.
The Boney Island series really cemented just how awful they’ve become. Literally half of the first episode is just the hosts casually talking about what they had for breakfast. I thought it was a bit, but no, they really thought wasting most of the episode by being completely off topic and not even trying to entertain was a good idea. The rest is just as unlistenable and boring. Who even remembers the old-ass tv show Bones? It had zero cultural impact and no one i know has ever even heard of it.
The main show has also lost its magic. Why are they so obsessed with former new York mayor Eric Adams? He’s not even relevant anymore. It’s also hard to even care about some yank politician from a different continent.
Maybe I’ll try subbing to scroungers instead. TF has lost their touch.
The lack of Milo lately has made it far leas funny for sure.
November basically just talks about how tired she is and how many podcasts she records when not randomly mentioning stalin.
Riley is too confident without milo there to cut him off.
Hussein is cool
big agree. between what you’ve mentioned and november* talking over the guests and the other hosts at every opportunity it’s really gotten on my nerves lately
as an ex-WTYP listener she’s more annoying than Liam, and that’s an achievement
I don’t think I would go this far yet
I refuse to believe that’s possible.

I think it might just be google being fubar’d since they started pushing the AI summary feature. It’s very inconsistent at giving you the nice features it had before. Like if you put a simple arithmetic expression instead of always calculating, it will randomly give you web results or AI slop.
Hot take: Trotskyites are people that enjoyed animal farm and considered snowball their personal hero.
Hot take: the CIA didn’t just push animal farm as an anti-communist indoctrination measure, but as a pro-trotskyite diversionary tactic so anyone who wanted to read further into the pseudo history behind the book would still end up anti-soviet
If we still used blimps over airplanes the twin towers would be still standing today
