Ben Simpson-Vernon, a veterinarian in England, went viral recently with two TikToks. The first listed the five dog breeds he’d never choose (sorry, pugs), and the second listed five dog breeds he would pick. (Yay for mutts!) So of course he had to eventually turn to our feline friends.

Simpson-Vernon’s newest video explains the four cat breeds that he, as a veterinarian, would never choose. Three are due to health reasons, but one is pure personal preference. He also emphasized that these are breeds he would never buy, because he would consider giving homes to these cats if they were in a rescue situation where they needed to be adopted.

Read on.

@ben.the.vet And now its the cats’ turn! 4 breeds I wouldn’t buy as a vet #learnontiktok #catlovers #miaow #veterinary #benthevet ♬ Waiting For Heartache – BLVKSHP

Bengal cats

Simpson-Vernon praises the Bengal cat’s beautiful coat, but points out that it’s a hybrid between a domestic cat and a type of wild cat called an Asian leopard cat.

“So they’re still quite wild in terms of their behavior and temperament,” he says, noting that at the vet’s, this breed has earned a reputation for being “quite aggressive.” He also notes that this intelligent breed needs a lot of stimulation, and isn’t right for some families.

Sphynx cats

The Sphynx is a hairless cat, and certainly one of the most unusual in the feline family. And here’s where Simpson-Vernon steps out of being a vet, and just becomes

Galaxy S23: 3 Big Ways Samsung Could Make It Worth the Upgrade

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 lineup introduced better cameras with a brighter night mode, a fresh design and more luminous screens. Upgrades like these are to be expected from the world’s biggest smartphone maker. According to Counterpoint ResearchSamsung captured 21% of the worldwide market in the second quarter of 2022. However, as inflation weakens demand for new electronics, even giants like Samsung might have to make a bigger effort to drive upgrades.

And there’s plenty of room for Samsung’s phones to evolve, especially as they face increased competition from Google’s Pixel family. Samsung typically releases new Galaxy S devices in the first couple of months of the year, meaning we can likely expect the Galaxy S23 to arrive in January or February. I hope the new Galaxy family gets longer-lasting batteries and more photography features that make use of the S line’s excellent cameras. Also, Samsung charges a premium to take advantage of the Galaxy S22’s fast charging speeds since the power adapter is sold separately — a practice I’d want to change.

Here’s everything I’d like Samsung to add and upgrade for the Galaxy S23 family.

Longer battery life for the regular Galaxy S23

Battery life can never be long enough, but the standard-issue Galaxy S device is in particular need of a boost. The 6.1-inch Galaxy S22 generally lived up to Samsung’s claims of all-day battery life, but sometimes just barely. After using it for a month straight, I noticed the battery

Substack Chat is rolling out to connect creators with their readers

Substacks has launched Substacks Chata new discussions feature designed to provide content creators with the means to build up their own online communities outside of social media.

Substack Chat allows writers, podcasters, and other creators to host conversations with their audiences, setting a topic for discussion without needing to hack together integrations with services such as Discord, Telegram, or Slack. Chat can be made available for all subscribers or restricted to those that pay for your content.

Substack Chat could be an alternative community for those leaving Twitter

“Chat is a community space reimagined specifically for writers and creators — it’s like having your own private social network where you make the rules,” Substack said in a post announcing the feature. Substacks has been openly trying to capitalize on Twitter users leaving the platform since Elon Musk took up the reins as chief Twitter. While other platforms haven’t been quite as brazen, Twitter alternatives are nevertheless seeing an influx of new users in recent weeks, with Mastodon reporting that 199,430 people have joined the platform since Twitter changed ownership.

Endorsements from creators who are already using the Chat feature also appear motivated by the Twitter acquisition. “Elon Musk isn’t the only guy who can run a Social Media company,” says sports journalist Joe Posnanski, a quote that was pulled from his JoeBlogs subscriber chat announcement.

Substack Chat is currently only available via the iOS app, though the company says the feature is rolling out gradually with both Web

Elon Musk’s Twitter deal could tank the leveraged buyout market

Elon Musk’s antics have made it hard for his banks — Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Barclays — to sell the debt required to do the Twitter deal. So they’re just going to hold it, all $13 billion of it, The Wall Street Journal reports. Truly a next-level “hold-my-beer” move, because it threatens to bring leveraged buyouts to a halt.

Typically, a bank sells the debt used to create a buyout, and moves on to the next deal. But since they’re holding Musk’s beer, they don’t have a free hand to hold anyone else’s. Or, as The WSJ puts it, “The Twitter move threatens to bring the faltering leveraged-buyout pipeline to a standstill by tying up capital that Wall Street could otherwise use to back new deals.”

Part of the reason for holding Musk’s debt is because the appetite for it has decreased due to (waves vaguely at the Fed) financial conditions. But part of it is Musk’s mercurial approach to the deal:

Mr. Musk and Twitter have until Oct. 28 to close his planned purchase, and there is still no guarantee the unpredictable billionaire will follow through or some other trouble won’t arise. (If the deal doesn’t close by that time, the two parties will go to court in November.) That means the banks wouldn’t have enough time to market the debt to third-party investorsa process that normally takes weeks, even if they wanted to sell it now.

Emphasis mine, obviously. The downside of being unpredictable
