RIP Stephen Wilhite, father of the GIF. A recyclable, reusable, lidless, strawless beverage cup. Stunning ballpoint pen art. A special deal on USB graphene heated vests. A map showing the latest sunrise times if DST were made permanent. How to fold plastic shopping bags for easy storage. A two-piece engagement/wedding ring that is assembled during the wedding. The longest-burning lightbulb is in Livermore, Calif. Bones are more complex than we thought. A portable, rollable AI-driven chessboard, and a set of playing cards than can turn into a chess board. A glowing ceramic tardigrade night light. All that and more in WhatTheyThink’s weekly miscellany.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/496295.html (Natural News) Texas attorney Rod Ponton went viral Tuesday, Feb. 9, when he accidentally appeared as an adorable kitten in a court hearing via Zoom.
But this wasn’t his first time that Ponton, who has since earned the moniker of “Zoom cat lawyer” has caught attention. In 2014, Ponton courted controversy for supposedly abusing his position as the district attorney of Brewster County in Texas, reports Insider.com.
While serving as district attorney, Ponton was embroiled in a controversial raid on The Purple Zone, a smoke shop in Alpine, Texas. Local and federal agents raided the shop on May 7, 2014 on the basis of a search warrant Ponton requested. This led to the arrest of its owner, Ilana Lipsen, on charges related to the possession of illegal synthetic marijuana.

Have you done a lot of Teams or Zoom meetings lately? While they can be boring, some of the options are pretty cool, IF you know what you are doing.
In our meetings, there have been spaceships, beachfronts, and tropical locations. I have yet to see someone have on the kitten filter though.
My wife came to me in tears about this last night. Did you see the Zoom Cat Lawyer?
We probably watched this thing about 10 times. I woke up laughing about it.
