Happy #NewstodonFriday! We really really wanted to keep it light, breezy and election-free this week. But if democracy dies in darkness, we must celebrate those newsrooms and reporters that are committed to shedding light.
This week, we are featuring news on how the plastics industry would welcome a second Trump administration, but teachers would loathe one. Texas Observer has a deeply reported story on the way mass deportations would devastate their state. New Hampshire’s election workers are under threat, but they’re standing up. An overlooked item on the Arizona ballot? Policy on how the state would treat unhoused people. A tech story on everyone’s favorite online retailer and how it says it has a First Amendment right to union bust. There’s a look at why people continue to support Donald Trump, despite the… everything. And sprinkled in, find articles on how kids become bilingual, the rise of Scientology in Ukraine, specimen collections in museums, clever cats, and zombie movies. Please support these newsrooms who have an active presence in the fediverse — give money, subscribe, read, share and comment.

The research I have read suggests that cats can understand as many as 20 words or phrases, especially if you pronounce and annunciate them the same every time.
Our boos recognize about that many, including names. Also, boy cat has quite a vocabulary; he can make 20-30 different calls that indicate mood, from hungry, frustration, happiness, joy, anger, etc. We’ve gotten used to his lingo, so it’s an effective method of communications.
