I see. At least she's being cared for, and when she's bigger she'll be more comfortable. I suppose having a 'private shelter' is all about this woman making her own rules- just for their own sake. People are so adorable!

Swoon. It's always so refreshing to see AOC eviscerate some Republican clown, calmly and with a smile. Oh, how they hate that.

She always has the best analogies. I think I've repeated her pool noodle comment several times.

He's tied with Jordan in legislative accomplishments. Just sayin'.

Anti-Social Socialist's avatar

Nah, if you look at it as a function of time, Jordan's still whooping him. Byron is a freshman, his "accomplishments" are amateurish comparatively.

I'm not sure where we are right now, but can we shake the tree?

The deposed despot is dangerously decompensating and his aggressive rhetoric is becoming more virulent. He is fanatically bound and determined to "inspire" one of his deplorables to vindicate his name.

I am profoundly concerned regarding the safety and well being of legal professionals involved in Drumpfenfuehrer's prosecution as well as potential witnesses and their families.

IncompeDon is out of his tiny 'liddle mind.

T+12 hours ... COVID booster. Arm is sore. 5G reception improved. Found several metal objects in the couch.

They are called springs. And they come with couches.

Benzinga: 'Mr. Trump May Lie, But Numbers Don't Lie' — Attorney General Says Trump Can Rant And Rave All He Wants, But It Doesn't Change That His Entire Empire Was Built On A Lie [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mr-trump-may-lie-numbers-185232068.html]

Vote counts don't lie either.

In possibly related news, Marjorie Taylor Greene and James Comer introduced a bill to change the meaning of certain numbers. "Numbers have a well-known Chinese Communist bias," they said. "Under our legislation, the meaning of those lying numbers will be subject to review by a new Federal Number Interpretation Agency. This will end the squabbling over things like who won the 2020 election."

I got myself signed up at the local Y and will start my swim classes today. After my class, I have to run over to my neurologist to drop off my new insurance information on to pick up another Ajovy sample. My prescription was in the process of getting approved (it's "tier 3" so mega pricey) when my company changed insurance companies, so now we have to start over again with getting it approved. Fortunately, my neurologist is very aggressive with getting approvals.

I could totally sleep a couple more hours this AM.

Welcome home. I was living in Teheran in 1967 and was wondering why my dad and everyone else wanted to get their hands on skookum radios that could pull in the latest information from Israel.

I am SO glad you're on your way home here. I have been SO worried about you, cousin.

No, I am not crying. My eyes just sometimes leak like this when I'm particularly pleased.

Máebh is so clever. I am always tickled when I see the cats using actions in a symbolic, language-like way.

The upstairs litter box is in the bathroom off of my bedroom. A few minutes ago, she walked up near me where I was in bed and ostentatiously scratched on the carpet in a burying gesture. And then she moved a little bit, and repeated it, so I couldn’t miss it. I was curious, and I got up and looked around, because I’ve seen them use the gesture to indicate distaste, for example, when food they didn’t like was served.

Walked into the bathroom, and immediately realized that the litter box had been quite recently used, and left a lingering odor. I immediately accommodated her request, scooped and emptied the offending remains outside.

Humans: we have our uses.

I remember watching an episode of 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 on cats. My big takeaway: Humans are still trying to figure out cats, while cats have had humans figured out for at least the last 10,000 years.

My sweet Farrah will gently pat my leg when I'm a few minutes late with her treats. She absolutely knows when it's 8pm, apparently! It's one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.

𝕺𝖓𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖉's avatar

How is she when it comes to the spring-forward/fall-back switch-ups?

Thalia Is Not Amused's avatar

Horrible! I always dread the first week of the time changes. I've found that easing her into it with 10 minute intervals works best. Shit, the time change is coming up soon, isn't it?

Well, shit.

𝕺𝖓𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖉's avatar

True, but hardly pertinent.

Look, she's bright enough to tell time, and to know when you deviate. What do you have to lose by trying?

Yeikes. I had to clean some gross antisemitism off my gif post of yesterday. Like, where did that even come from? Fleischer Bros maybe? I intentionally post such lighthearted topics I’m really surprised anybody would bother trying to troll up their fascist nonesense.

This guy (and I’m certain it was a guy) also managed to throw some vulgar sexism in there too, quite the charmer.

Thank you. And sorry humans include such assholes.
