I somewhat recently bought a favorite book from Jr High called Quest For The Snow Leopard and was shocked because I didn't remember how racist it was. Oh well.
How disappointing to hear. That book caused me to become obsessed with snow leopards to the point that I worked for weeks on a painting of a snow leopard, probably the pinnacle of my high school art output (but a painting now forever lost).
I have many similar lost paintings (drawings) my mom threw away after I moved out. Up to that point I'd saved everything I liked and she likely chucked them all at once, not that I blame her.
That's what happened to all of my art and writing from my time as a yout. I came home from university and found that my mother had thrown out EVERYTHING. Scores of paintings, a few dozen journals and more. Her response? "Why would you want to keep all that junk from when you were young?"
Got an email from my eldest's middle school principal reminding parents to drop their kids off at a different spot because their usual one is being used for the election. I kind of freaked out because I didn't know there was one! So I looked it up. In my town only one ward is voting (where eldest's school is, but not our house). And they're only voting whether to grant a Sunday liquor license to one of the restaurants, lol. So for me there isn't one and I feel better for not noticing lol
Trump said he wanted to get rid of the murderers, rapist and drug traffickers with his anti-immigration policy. It's hard to argue against something like that, except that it looks like all he's doing is hauling people looking for work. It's hard to Make America Great Again when you are actively deporting it's working class.
While he's getting rid of the working class he's leaving all the murderers, rapist and drug traffickers to roam free because ice have moved the resources to numbers not crimes.
Yeah hoo boy on that Epstein, JP Morgan story. Surprised the NYTimes covered it and the botched N Korea brouhaha. What happened? Did they accidentally do journalism? How ever did it sneak past the editor?
NO filming the boos to Rump networks.
WE WILL film the booing...1000's of attendees. Ha!!
Well, isn't that what you want to see from NASA, giving up a 70 year record of safety to beat the Chinese. Great, great job. These fuckers really don't care how many people have to die for their Golden Age.
Also - solar cells can work in the dark; they heat up from being in the Sun all day, and you can use the difference in temperature between the cell and the colder ambient air to generate power. But that's science, not "common sense"...
HuffPost: "Chief Justice John Roberts let President Donald Trump remove a member of Federal Trade Commission on Monday, the latest in string of high-profile firings allowed for now at the Supreme Court. Trump moved to fire Rebecca Slaughter in the spring, but lower courts ordered her reinstated after she sued because the law only allows commissioners to be removed for problems like misconduct or neglect of duty.
Monday’s order is the latest sign that the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has effectively abandoned a 90-year-old high court precedent that protected some federal agencies from arbitrary presidential action."
NYT: "The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a federal judge’s order prohibiting government agents from making indiscriminate immigration-related stops in the Los Angeles area that challengers called “blatant racial profiling.”
The court’s brief order was unsigned and gave no reasons. It is not the last word in the case, which is pending before a federal appeals court and may again reach the justices.
"A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a $83.3 million jury award against President Trump for defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019, after she accused him of a decades-old rape in a Manhattan department store — an attack for which he was separately found liable of sexual abuse. The court also rejected Mr. Trump’s argument that the Supreme Court’s decision last year affording presidential immunity for official acts barred a finding of liability in Ms. Carroll’s lawsuit."

Little fluffball, you've had a busy day.
It's Sneptember!
Bheri is a busy babby!!

Sounds very similar to my situation! I made it easy for her, it was a 3 inch thick bundle of mostly newsprint about 2 x 3' bound up with string.
Bheri sweet
Beautiful.
Even at that size, I wouldn't want that kitten stalking me.
Babby snep!
Spotted babby cat at play!
Spot on!

Go Bheri! The world absolutely needs more snow leopards.
If I was a fundraiser for a big cat project, that photo of Bheri and Big Mom Nubra would be on every piece...
Toy designers are envious of the appeal of those critters...
When little Bheri goes outside
Mama's got her back
She'll find out where the faces are
Searching for a little snack.
Bheri needs a box.
How much blander could the Rose Garden Private Club get?

I practice a strict colloidal silver regimen and have been autism free my entire life!
That explains the skin colour. Jaundice (yellow) + colloidal silver (blue) makes green!
Stop eating people's liver and you'll be fine.

I'm a finance idiot but the JPMorgan story glued me to my chair.
We'll never see the files.

THE dumbest people in the world. Just absolute idiots and obviously rampant cases of Dunning Krueger.
I'm pretty sure Gus Grissom and Vladimir Komarov are both waiting outside the gates of heaven to beat the shit out of Sean Duffy when he shows up.

The court’s three liberal members dissented."
I'm taking a break from the newz today so I am just leaving the gif of the kitty up on my computer
NYT just now:

How much interest has accrued on that judgement since 2019? I would hope it's a huge amount.
J D Vance: I don't give a shit what you call it.
Dick Cheney: Uh, dude, you may want to be a little more nuanced about committing war crimes.

SEN. CASSIDY (R) : “Do you agree Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for Operation Warp speed?”
RFK JR.: “Absolutely.”
SEN. CASSIDY: “But you just told Senator Bennet the COVID vaccine killed more people than COVID.”
RFK JR.: “….”😬 🤷🏻♂️
I get the impression even Republicans don't like RFK, Jr. It must be because he's a Kennedy.
That was actually kind of fun watching his remaining two or three brain cells fry out.
As the worm turns, so to speak.
Jr. has never won a game of tic tac toe or checkers. He's really not a strategic thinker.
