This same local paper is always begging for donations to support professional journalism.

I will be happy to donate once I see it.

Professional and Journalism regrettably no longer should occupy the same sentence.

I thought it was journalism and integrity that didn’t go together

That is the cattiest dog I have ever seen. :slight_smile:

Er, HELLO 2022?!? It IDENTIFIES as a dog, and we should fully support that decision…

Anyone remember the movie with Dudley Moore with the line “Who wants to be a firetruck”?

Thor is a master of Disguise look at how well he has all of you fooled into thinking he is a Cat.

That dog is the only one in existence. No one knows how he came in to being.

Photographed the wrong end!

LOL, last spring my husband was on a job and the lady of the house asked what kind of cat this was. Very shocked to see in an established residential area.

What you don’t realize is that it’s a ploy… you won’t get professional journalism until you support it. “If only you gave us more money, we could do better.” (It’s the same argument our public schools make – and more money never seems to resolve the problems. But I digress.)

Reminds me of the time, 20+ years ago, we were supporting a business that had a mix of CAT5 and aging thinnet coax Ethernet. The coax was always causing problems. We told them they needed to replace it all with CAT5 twisted pair. (This was 20+ years ago, before CAT5e was a thing and long before CAT6 was a twinkle in the eye of standards organizations.)

Their response: “We don’t want to spend money on the network until it’s stable.”

Local newspapers lost their professionalism years ago.

Here’s a snippet from an article that was posted last year by my local newspaper:

What the hell is a “wifi box”?

That’s not all though. The author then called it a “wifi cabinet” in the first sentence of the article.

Clearly, someone doesn’t know what a telephone exchange box is, or how it works for that matter.

For wildlife, the wasteful messy human race just creates a brand new home for them. Rats, Raccoons and coyotes, just to name a few, love the fact that we throw so much good stuff away. Not to mention crows and seagulls who spend their days in McDonalds parking lots finding all they can eat.
