In the space of about 300 years the captital was moved four times. The last capital, Harran, was only the captital for the last three or so years of Assyria, after the larger cities were burned to the ground by the Neo-Babylonians and the Medes.

It's kind of amazing how fast Assyria declined from its peak

My 15yo cat has never learned how to use scratching posts or anything, despite having an assortment and a whole other cat to show her how. If I don't trim them she gets stuck in things, and they grow really thick because the outer layers aren't being shed. I'm assuming that's more painful to walk/jump on than extending her claws to trim them.

It's really not the same as declawing, which is like removing a joint from their fingers.

Cory Booker is doing a great job with his protest speech. I started watching while he was talking about social security, and I'm so glad someone is talking about our fears in congress.

This pains me to say this, because I am on disability, but I imagine the will be a lot of angry people when Musk destroys social security. I honestly wonder how the media will spin payment diaruptions to keep the populace complacent

This isn't even an issue of legality in Trump's world. Trump is upset that Waltz has the number of a journalist that Trump doesn't like, which apparently is an indication of disloyalty. So it's still weird that he hasn't just fired the man

What's weird is that it didn't seem like he put any thought into firing people during his first term

Does anyone know how to get endnote or a similar citation manager to work in Libre Office?

Imagine putting in the work to qualify for the Olympics only to find out you're not a "real" woman by some arbitrary definitions. Michael Phelps has physical characteristics that gave him an edge in his particular sport, but people only tried to talk about his weed use as a disqualifying factor

Do you need it to be raised lettering? If not, that seems like a very simple thing that anyone with a cricut or silhouette could make. Maybe search Etsy for custom decals if you don't know anyone personally with one of those machines

He made himself redundant, if the executive order folding the justicial branch into the executive is any indication
