Vine is exposed to the absolute psychosis of both the British media class and the parts of the British public who would phone into Jeremy Vine. The fact the man isn't eating his own face crazy is a testament to his resilience.

Cats are not solitary creatures. They also aren't dogs, and at the cat rescue where I volunteer there are multiple stories of people who are baffled because they constantly misread cat behaviour (no your cat was not happily wagging her tail then bit you out of the blue, please take 2 minutes to learn what cat tail twitching means). A cat that has bonded with you will sit with its back to you, because they trust you not to attack from behind. It's the same the reason cats sleep on your bed or curled up with other cats. They expect at least one member of the group to be alert enough to notice danger, and given the number of goons in this thread who apparently wake up every 20 seconds durng the night, they might be on to something. If you suddenly aren't there, that security has gone and it unsettles them. Abandoned cats will continue to hang around an empty house waiting for their owner to come back and eventually stop looking after themselves properly because they're miserable. It's daft to anthropomorphize animals, but they do love and miss you in their own way, and I don't think that should be dismissed because it's not the same as humans love and miss people.

Ideally for a single cat there should be someone spending an hour a day with them if you're gone for longer than 48 hours.

I don't even have a cat or know much about them but trying to figure out what it means online I get the below:

Cats twitch the end of their tails when they are hunting and playing, as well as when they are mildly irritated and frustrated.

Which seems a bit all over the place.

Yeah, twitching tails means the cat is gearing up ready to swipe at something. That's fine if you're dangling a toy in front of them, less fine if you're trying to stroke them. But if you don't know what that means, then because cats pounce very suddenly, it can feel like they are just randomly attacking.

On a different track, is there a good place to get solidarity posters to show support for the strikes? Individual unions have downloadable posters or social media frames, but I am looking for something that could encompass all of them.

RE Jeremy Vine, TrashFuture have a bonus episode where they actually sit down and talk with him and he is pretty open that his show has some of the dumbest, most arrogant shitheads in our country call in, and he's well aware of it. He also thinks it's useful to have a mainstream outlet for stupid dogshit opinions because it's both a national thermometer and a national pressure release for insane people.

There are a bunch of old wobbly poster designs floating around, a lot of them are a bit wordy in that delightfully pre-70's style, but they are usually on the theme of "industrial action always good"

To try and find out I did a bit of googling, and here he is on stage at an event for the trilateral commission with Gove and Lord Maude at the end of 2017. He was 'Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union' at the time, and Gove was 'Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs'

No, what they mean is 'learn how to code your behaviour,' i.e. conceal your deviancy, undesirable.

Well he specifically said how during lockdown he wasn't allowed to air specific views on covid and the vaccine and that Facebook/etc. groups took his silence as proof that it was a conspiracy, leading to an overall greater uptick in social media believing that it being the one thing he wasn't allowed to countenance proved it was Actually Real.

When I first listened to the episode I thought he was full of poo poo but over time I've started to come around to concept that we might actually be a brain diseased society of rat people.
