Sounded like it could be a child in distress but I couldn&#39;t see anything (where I expected to see anything) so I sat back down, but they got louder and more urgent and I happened to look out the back window and saw a cat pouncing on something black. I opened the door and the cat looked up and booked it, as they tend to do, but the black thing promptly trotted towards me and came right up to me and stopped. It was a very pretty black bantam hen. I picked her up and she was utterly okay with that. Didn&#39;t seem at all distressed now that the cat had run off, and almost snuggled. I know the place behind me has had hens (as they had a rooster at one point that I mistakenly blamed my neighbour for) so, after she was completely calm, I lowered her over the back fence, and she quite happily jumped down and disappeared into their garden as if she knew the place. So that was my social interaction for today. 2026-02-21T07:02:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswx9mgjxtgxlk08gkhftx8s5yx4wkdc4jtxt8vm40e9yv9yree5dszyz8dn3hvr0t89f6zm94qn88jef5fly79ggt8982lxcdj36qnjcav68eyhks In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy7mll55p875kpw7njtsd8ee2udn6pgxg33u06vgevwzptdjr6vzsw0hhzg'>nevent1q…hhzg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Seems legit. They&#39;re unsustainable in the long term. When the crash comes, there won&#39;t be the money to keep them going and they&#39;ll be too expensive to demolish, so abandonment is likely.<br/><br/>I heard someone say that Altman is asking for his latest round of funding by describing what he wants to build in order to ask it how he can make money from it. (I do not know if he said this, but it seems right for him.) 2025-11-12T00:18:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst4nwf93kmed693wmhy0wfmjgj5pacaeamhz3tnmsn3r6jj677gtqzyz8dn3hvr0t89f6zm94qn88jef5fly79ggt8982lxcdj36qnjcav66ndnqt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgq92yzjsua85vaef4xk88y5m96yna8qkckc5ev0gnak8pqvl0v6c9y3x53'>nevent1q…3x53</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m giving it 3 years, but humans are stupid. 2025-11-12T00:12:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszhmzq0a2utlml73xmre4qk7epsfrevqhgdvppkgm5g4f0la9drkczyz8dn3hvr0t89f6zm94qn88jef5fly79ggt8982lxcdj36qnjcav6kjprea In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0pp2nhp0z5ugy2ck6e36msp6fcu9tu6a77pqslvd7qv4plz9khrs39uc9g'>nevent1q…uc9g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Also, the Hatch Act only applies to current federal employees. I&#39;m not here to give Trump a break, but he&#39;s not employed by the government, and should never be again. It is, however, another example of Trump ignoring the norms of society. 2024-08-29T06:38:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0pp2nhp0z5ugy2ck6e36msp6fcu9tu6a77pqslvd7qv4plz9khrszyz8dn3hvr0t89f6zm94qn88jef5fly79ggt8982lxcdj36qnjcav6ee79yf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9lptzjaprgwxrt06jzvq6at82p2rtqylc7e7jua6dx3hfkmu7lfsghxguy'>nevent1q…xguy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Let&#39;s be honest here (not that I support Trump at all) and note that the &#34;federal law&#34; being cited everywhere is actually the Hatch Act which TrumpWorld ignored during his administration. Arlington policy and procedures are what prevents partisan activity in the cemetery, not a specific statute, and it&#39;s their interpretation of the Hatch Act that informs those policies. The policies and procedures should be followed, but they don&#39;t have the force of a specific statute. 2024-08-29T06:36:13Z
