A zoo in China sparked all out panda-monium after they dressed dogs as pandas because they didn't have the genuine artifact, as seen in viral photos.
The fake pandas, unveiled May 1 at the Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu Province, were actually Chow Chow dogs — a big-haired breed from Northern China, Jam Press reported.
Zoo officials reportedly trimmed their mane and dyed their faces black to look like China's iconic bamboo-eating bear.
They then put the so-called “panda dogs” on display in an enclosure every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., attracting throngs of people despite the obvious bamboo-zlement, per the sanctuary's staffers.
When asked why they had the canines engage in panda cosplay, a rep explained, “There are no panda bears at the zoo and we wanted to do this as a result.”

There's eruptions of drama all over the thread and I don't feel like copying it all bc I'm lazy but I will mention that Anna herself shows up in the comments and attempts to defend herself but only succeeds in dragging poor Dasha down into the muck with her

I'm sure Dasha agrees, but as a listener it's pretty clear which of you has gone down a weird internet rabbit hole with no means of escape. You have no reason to listen to random Reddit comments but it's so cynical and ugly Anna.

Yeah I think you just don't like me which is fine but I want it to be clear that I would never trespass against my partner or inflict my own agenda if it was unwelcome

Even Marvelcels are like "that's still too much lol".
Marvel Will Release No More Than Three Movies and Two Shows Per Year, Bob Iger Says
Disney CEO Bob Iger says the company is shrinking the MCU with a new mission to drop the number of Marvel TV series to two a year and the film output to no more than three movies per year.
Iger said this is part of Disney's overall strategy to reduce output and focus on quality, a strategy “that's particularly true with Marvel.”
“We're slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two, or a maximum of three,” the Disney CEO said during the company's quarterly earnings call Tuesday. “And we're working hard on what that path is.”
Iger says Marvel has “a couple of good films in '25 and then we're heading to more ‘Avengers,' which we're extremely excited about,” adding: “Overall, I feel great about the slate. It's something that I've committed to spending more and more time on. The team is one that I have tremendous confidence in and the IP that we're mining, including all the sequels that we're doing, is second to none.”
The announcement is at odds with the most recent release calendar distributed by Disney, which has four films from Marvel Studios slated for 2025 — “Captain America: Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts,” “The Fantastic Four,” and “Blade” — and four more Marvel movies slated for 2026, including the fifth “Avengers” movie. Marvel is releasing a single film in 2024, “Deadpool & Wolverine.” (Historically, the only time Marvel has released more than three movies in a year was in 2021, after the studio sat out 2020 due to the pandemic: “Black Widow,” “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” “Eternals” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” — the latter of which was a co-production with Sony Pictures.)
On the TV side, Iger says that a portion of the upcoming series, a slate that includes the Kathryn Hahn-led “WandaVision” spinoff “Agatha,” set for release are “a vestige of basically a desire in the past to increase volume.”
While Iger has previously stated plans to reduce Marvel franchise output, he's not previously been this direct in terms of exactly how many titles Disney plans to release for both TV and film each year.
Later in the call, Iger fielded a question about Disney's focus on sequels and originals, noting that the focus is currently more on franchise films: “We're gonna balance sequels with originals. Specifically in animation, we had gone through a period where our original films and animation, both Disney and Pixar, were dominating. We're now swinging back a bit to lean on sequels.”
Iger cited Disney's plans for the next “Toy Story” movie and this summer's release of “Inside Out 2” and said these films have an increased value because known IP costs less to market.
For Marvel, Iger pointed to new movie “Thunderbolts” coming in 2025 alongside sequels “Deadpool & Wolverine” this summer and “Captain America: Brave New World” next year. “It'll just be a balance, which we think is is right,” Iger said.

The couple, who live in Steele, Alabama, had been trying to have a child for more than two years, but Bentley's doctor had told her that she may be unable to conceive because of her history of polycystic ovary syndrome, known as PCOS.
The news had left her feeling without a purpose. "That's all I wanted to be was a mom and a wife," said Bentley, 25. "I was depressed, severely depressed for that whole time."
but when i feel like that, then it's a fetish or something.

Disturbing trend on TT/YT/IG: entire social channels with nonsense recipes. They're clearly narrated by AI and likely written by it, but the videos appear real. The channels have no affiliate websites, but millions of subs. It's just chaos.

When trying to explore my shadow self, doing shadow work, then my shadow I have to integrate is Hitler, which I clearly don't want to integrate which probably causes a lot of my delusions of being a Nazi in a past life.
In the case where your shadow self is a genocidal dictator, how do you successfully integrate this aspect of you without going full on Nazi, would Jung ever agree that there are aspects of the self which should be repressed?
This is what Jung said about Hitler as an archetype, he basically refers to Hitler as the "shadow" of the German people.

Among the more dumb attempts at political branding is the phrase "radical centrist", often used by both opponents and proponents of this purported ideology. It's OK to have moderate political views and to article them clearly, but there's nothing particularly radical about this.
