Language is one of the most fascinating things on Earth. We need it to communicate‚ but there are so many different ones around the globe. This interviewer polled Japanese people on how English sounds and the results couldn’t have been more hilarious. For each subject of the interview‚ the interviewer asked the person to imitate how English sounds. Gibberish or otherwise. And honestly? They nailed it! Clearly‚ English sounds rather silly to Japanese people! The languages are so different‚ it’s no surprise that there’s a funny disconnect here. Each interviewee got creative with it. One man seemed to continue repeating the word “octopus‚” which I really got a kick out of. Do we really say “octopus” that often? Probably not. This image is from YouTube. “I love the fact that Americans are immediately depicted by flailing arms‚ random screams‚ and hyperpronunciation. They’re pretty accurate. Their reactions to their own imitations are priceless‚” commented one viewer of the clip. Regardless‚ this was a funny experiment exploring different sounds and languages. As an English speaker‚ how do you think English sounds? I bet it depends on the region‚ too! I’m Midwestern… we’re as nasal as could be! The featured image in this post is from YouTube.

Republicans could be pleased to see the left-wing media underlining how Joe Biden was embarrassed in Michigan by a rebellious campaign to vote “uncommitted” in the Michigan primary‚ protesting Biden’s support for Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists. But one can’t be pleased with how these activists are classified. You can tell a media outlet is on the left by the way it's resistant to describing leftist allies – even their radicals in their base – with an ideological label. Sometimes‚ you’ll know someone is a raving socialist when they are called “liberal” or “progressive‚” like Bernie Sanders. But these pro-Hamas activists are never presented as “far left‚” “hard left‚” or “radical left.”   Instead‚ the verbiage is incredibly vague. Take CNN host Abby Phillip on February 26: “There's a very public‚ very high-profile campaign to get Michigan Democrats to go ahead and vote uncommitted at that primary to send a message to President Biden.” Jillian Frankel at NBCNews.com reported a story on February 6 with “Michigan activists” in the headline and a quote from “Listen to Michigan campaign manager Layla Elabed‚ a Palestinian American activist who is the sister of Rep. Rashida Tlaib‚ D-Mich.” Tlaib voted “present” all by herself in refusing to condemn Hamas for brutally raping Israeli women. Who needs to single this family out as extremists? The P-word was okay at NBC. “Elabed added that backing a cease-fire is a prerequisite for many progressive voters.” But the idea of describing viciously anti-Semitic terrorists as “progressive” is a failure. On the February 23 PBS NewsHour‚ reporter Laura Barrón-López also talked to Elabed and announced “that uncommitted movement is being led by Democratic activists and Democratic local electeds in the state of Michigan.” PBS talked about “Uncommitted” campaigners on four shows in the last week of February‚ and they stuck to this “Democratic activists” line. On February 26‚ PBS anchor Geoff Bennett warned: “With more than 200‚000 Muslim and Arab American voters in Michigan‚ their message remains clear. Without them‚ there`s no winning the state.” On February 28‚ PBS anchor Geoff Bennett spoke of “voters casting uncommitted ballots in protest of the president`s approach toward the Israel-Hamas war.” On that same show‚ Democrat strategist Faiz Shakir sympathized: “I see that there are people who‚ because of American democracy‚ were able to express their hurt and their pain about the Middle East war through the ballot box.” The Democrat‚ not the journalist‚ used a label: Biden’s “got some issues with young people‚ with Arab and Muslim Americans‚ with a progressive left that he can fix and cure and heal.” Our “prestige” media can’t seem to locate vicious‚ radical‚ and even genocidal rhetoric from the Tlaib corner of the pro-Hamas left. A Nexis search of the last six months of the PBS NewsHour found zero examples of anyone using the term “pro-Hamas.” Just four applied the term “anti-Israel.” It’s fascinating that this alphabet of left-wing TV networks offer story after story exposing extreme ideas coming from the Oath Keepers or the Proud Boys on the right. They hire people to cover “extremism‚” and focus almost all of it on the right-wingers. But how does the death toll of January 6 compare to October 7? None of these journalists are going to throw hardballs at the Tlaib wing of the Democrats‚ suggesting their extremism is going to make the Democrats look bad with moderate voters. They won't suggest they’re hostile to democracy and supportive of political violence. That’s saved for just one political party.

Click to Skip Ahead Preparation &; Steps Disadvantages Other Safe Cat Litter Alternatives Cat owners often wonder what they can use instead of commercial cat litter for several reasons‚ such as looking for something more environmentally friendly‚ sustainable‚ or cost-effective. Or there may be times when you need something to use in a pinch until you can get to the store or order your usual litter online. After all‚ your cat depends on you to provide them with a clean litter box for going potty. Luckily‚ you can use alternatives to litter if you desire‚ and shredded paper is something that is safe and effective.  Read on to learn how to use shredded paper as cat litter safely‚ as well as other items that are safe‚ inexpensive‚ and effective. How to Use Shredded Paper as Cat Litter One such item was shredded paper‚ which some people still use today. So‚ do you place shredded paper in the litter box and call it a day? Well‚ not so fast. You’ll need to prepare the shredded paper for use‚ as the ink on some newspapers is not ideal and could potentially be toxic. While most companies today use water and non-toxic‚ soy-based inks‚ you may still be concerned about toxic compounds. If this is the case‚ err on the side of caution and remove the ink first. Here are the steps to making safe‚ shredded paper cat litter: Shred the newspaper in a shredder (you can also use junk mail) in long‚ thin strips. Soak the shredded pieces in warm water with a few drops of gentle dish soap. Leave the paper soaking until the strips turn a grayish color and the consistency is that of oatmeal. Leave the paper soaking until the ink is gone. Drain the water and replace it with clean water. Repeat the soaking process‚ minus the dish soap‚ and drain once again. Grab a pair of gloves to keep your hands clean from leftover ink. Apply a liberal amount of baking soda on the wet paper and knead into the mixture. Squeeze any remaining moisture out and get the shredded paper as dry as you can. Crumble the paper over a screen and leave it to dry (this will take several days.) You can also bake the paper in the oven to speed up the process but do this on the lowest temperature setting. Once the paper is dry‚ place 1 ½ to 2 inches of paper crumbles into the clean litter box. Using shredded paper for cat litter is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Be sure to scoop out waste daily and replace it with fresh shredded paper. You may choose to make a substantial amount of shredded paper each time to ensure you always have enough on hand. Image Credit: RJ22‚ Shutterstock Disadvantages of Using Shredded Paper for Cat Litter While shredded paper is safe to use as cat litter and nowhere near as expensive as commercial cat litter‚ it does have some drawbacks you should be aware of: Shredded paper as cat litter drawbacks: Your cat may refuse to use it. It’s not the best at controlling odor. It’s time-consuming to make. It doesn’t soak up urine as well as commercial litter. Cats may not be able to cover up their waste efficiently. It doesn’t clump for easy cleaning. What Are Other Safe Materials to Use as Cat Litter? Shredded paper is not the only material you can use as cat litter safely. Check out other safe materials below as safe alternatives to cat litter that you may already have on hand‚ especially if you have other animals as pets‚ such as rabbits‚ chickens‚ or horses. Other safe cat litter alternatives: Sand (clumps well but is terrible for tracking) Alfalfa pellets (trackable and dusty) Ground-up whole wheat Wood shavings and sawdust‚ not cedar or pine(sawdust creates more dust‚ which is not ideal for cats with allergies or asthma) Horse bedding pellets‚ not cedar or pine (highly absorbent but made of sawdust) Chicken feed (highly absorbent but attracts rodents) Image Credit: _Alicja_‚ Pixabay Conclusion As you can see‚ you have choices when it comes to alternatives to buying commercial cat litter. However‚ to use shredded paper effectively and safely‚ you must prepare it first for use. If you don’t have shredded paper‚ you can use other materials‚ such as wood shavings‚ alfalfa pellets‚ horse bedding pellets‚ sand‚ and chicken feed. All the materials listed above are environmentally friendly and cost-effective; however‚ ensure you know the disadvantages (if any) to any material you contemplate using for the safety of your cat.
