Reminder to anyone thinking about purchasing or adopting a dog, brachycephalic breeds such as bulldogs and pugs are prone to sudden respiratory collapse and death. Not to mention the chronic health problems that plague them for their entire life.

I’m not saying the groomers were not at fault in this situation, but a breed like this is frighteningly close to a medical emergency even in mundane situations like a nail trim.

This is the ultimate mobile game

So about a fifty/fifty

Interesting that they only release bodycam footage when it supports their narrative. Almost like having them wear cams in the first place was a PR move.

“’Non-breeding’ plumage can mean any plumage that is not the plumage birds have moulted into specifically for the breeding season. (Some birds only moult once a year so at breeding time, their plumage is the same as the rest of the year, others have an additional moult early Spring into smarter feathers). So ‘non-breeding’ can mean an adult in winter plumage or an immature bird that has not yet reached maturity but as applied to birds that normally moult twice a year. Adult Birds moult out of their breeding plumage from around July onwards into a winter plumage. Usually it’s a lot more drab and less colourful than breeding plumage.” -Deb Burhinus

Looks like they get into more detail but that was the first thing I found.

The presidential election will not be the only thing on your ballot. Please vote for local offices, school boards, initiatives, etc. It’s important even in solidly blue states.

IIRC the drone operator had permission from the event for the shot and the spear thrower did it as a joke because he assumed he’d miss and nobody had any hard feelings because of how impressive it was.
