Cats In Quarantine
Right now, there are so many of us having fun with our cats at home that it's rare to scroll through social media without seeing a new cat doing something goofy, wearing a silly outfit or otherwise entertaining its owners.

The Funniest Political Spoofs
With so many politicians admitting they care more about the economy than American lives, sometimes it's nice to just turn away from all of the real news and watch a few spoofs. Saturday Night Live is one of my favorite sources of entertainment right now, as are these hilarious George Washington memes.

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology Working On Modeling The Effects Of Nanobubbles On Nuclear Fuel Aging
During the operation of a nuclear fission reactor in a nuclear power plant, fission fragments crash trough the crystal lattice of the nuclear fuel creating defects such as vacancies, interstitial atoms and their clusters. The vacancies combine together to form bubbles that fill up with fission produced gas during the burning of the nuclear fuel.

Zoom Backgrounds And Digital Art
If you're already tired of Zoom meetings, you might want to know that there are some fun ways to spice them up--including altering your backgrounds. Studio Ghibli just released a bunch of free backgrounds you can use for this purpose, which will not only be fun to play with, but also give your coworkers, friends and family some pretty nature art to look at!
Caffè Misto Your Way
Normally I'm not one to "mute" my coffee with a lot of milk, but I'm in love with it mixed with macadamia nut milk lately and I thought I'd see how my fellow coffee lovers like their Caffè Misto drinks. Personally, I'm loving the nut milk, but maybe you have a different milk you enjoy in your cup.
Garden Ideas for Mother's Day
If your Mother's Day gift recipient is like my mother figures--my mom and my closest aunt--or me, they probably would prefer living plants to cut flowers that will only die. Sure, cut flowers are lovely, but how about a nice fern or hosta (my mom), or a pretty succulent (my aunt)? I'm asking for a pitcher plant this year, myself, or maybe some plants that bloom black. It's been that kind of a year.
