“Edie – rescued yesterday an hour before euthanasia. Edie was so scared at the shelter and was scheduled to be euthanized yesterday. She was so lucky to have Bronwyne visit the shelter and save her life. I just helped with calming her down and showing everybody how these dogs can be easily managed with a little bit of love and patience.”
This is so sad, but also heartwarming.

Some people think this is a cute example of an animal raising its young, others think it is creepy as shit. I fall into the latter category.

This morning I was reading about the unique evolutionary advantages that humans possess over other animals. While we are not the fastest animals by a longshot, humans are actually the best suited distance runners on the planet. Running on two feet is much more efficient than four. And running on two feet allows us to “slow breathe” — four legged animals must take a breath with every step when running because their diaphragms are connected directly to their spines. The fact that we have sweat glands and skin is also essential, because we are able to keep out bodies cool much more efficiently than animals with fur. Humans are one of the only animals on earth that could handle running a 26 mile marathon.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this amazing David Attenborough video that perfectly demonstrates humans’ evolutionary advantages:

Carly Fiorina put out this bizarre attack ad against Tom Campbell in their Senate race in CA. I’d start at around 2:20, when the ad really persuades you.
