If Garçons are good for anything, it’s a repetitive, feel-good hook, and on “Ladybug,” they deliver. They open the whole shebang with the run that you’ll be singing the rest of the day, and not only does it come back in force, but the rest of the song sits on top of that same chord progression so there’s no chance to get distracted. If you break it down, that doesn’t make for a particularly interesting piece of music, but it sure does hit the ears nicely, and that’s just fine. Listen here.

Maybe this is your dream or maybe it is your nightmare, but either way, it’s happening: growing numbers of people are putting leashes on cats and taking them around outdoors. Take a minute and decide how you feel. Is this a renaissance for previously imprisoned house cats? Or maybe it’s a prison in itself, limiting kitty’s autonomy by way of harness. The jury’s out among people who know this kind of thing, but if there’s any consensus, it seems to be that if you want to harness a cat, you’d better get going from birth. Kitten owners, rejoice.

How much time have you spent thinking about farmed octopus? A number of seafood startups are starting to raise octopi in captivity, with the mission of making them into a sustainable food source, and according to critics, that’s just about impossible. Some are calling it animal cruelty, saying the octopus is too intelligent to be confined to a life as a commodity. And as it turns out, farmed sea creatures are often fed wild sea creatures, so farming fish still contributes to overfishing. So, here’s a radical idea: don’t?

If you are into thinking too hard about your cat, might I suggest simply spending money on it? This “tent” is sure to instill a sense of contained, indoor adventure while also displaying your penchant for minimalism. Or, for the octo-farmers in the room, why not get your sea fix with this pet bed shaped like a shark? Yeah, it would suck if a shark ate fluffy, and wouldn’t it also suck if we ate the ocean clean of its tastiest species? Guilt is what we’re going for here, tell me if it’s working.
