It's so perfect to me that, as with all cats, the expression is "WHAT?!" They're so indignant that you might be giving them the slightest hint of "that's funny" or "dumbass, I just told you that wouldn't work". I need to be more of a cat!

Smart cat, not his first time. Wet feet on a cold day is among the definitions of misery...

I love those opportunities to maybe watch the cat slip and fall into the snow trench. Then I point and laugh.

The look of murder you get from the cat is priceless.

Someone should explain to John McCain’s daughter that we’re no longer a collection of British colonies so we don’t have to respect the royal family any more.

Honestly, people should be thrilled with Markle joining the House of Windsor. Just looking at the family shows they’ve needed an infusion of fresh genes for generations now.

“Amazon is forking out $40 million to license new Melania Trump documentary.” That is certainly money well . . . no, wait, let me start over again: Well, that is certainly money spent.

Trump relentlessly attacked Bezos during his previous term over WaPo’s less than sycophantic coverage of him. Bezos is determined to make sure that doesn’t happen this time, no matter how much he has to debase both himself and the reputation of a once great newspaper.

Well, that Idaho Sun story is a charmer, here we go again with "just let the states decide" and WE WERE SAYING TWO GODDAMN YEARS AGO THEY WERE GOING TO OVERTURN OBERGEFELL AND GOT CALLED PARANOID FOR IT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, but the moldy cherry on the shit sundae was the THREE ads I got for something called "America's Conservative Marketplace - NEVER BUY WOKE!".

The household got the Noro when TeenX was maybe kindergartenerX, and MommyX was the last one to fall. I spent one night nursing HusbX, the next, a long night on the floor with child laying on a set of chair seat cushions I arranged as a cot for him, so he could just roll to the side to vomit every hour or so into a bucket I held beneath his poor, sweet head. They were never so sick, before nor since, and I look toward a revisit of that stuff with pure horror. The next day I wisely kept a bucket close to hand for myself for when my time came, as it did, with very short warning. And then Mommy fell.

Let's all wash & dry stuff on hot for a while, just to be safe. Because goddamn, that virus. *shudder*

Kind of a throwaway bit in tfg's conference yesterday, but while complaining about one judge and how insulting he was*, he said, "he even valued Mar a Lago at $18 million dollars! That chandelier cost more than $18 million dollars!" I would submit to you that there is no chandelier in the world that costs more than $18 million dollars, that HE didn't pay that much for the chandelier, and he should go fuck himself.

*it would make me laugh (to myself) as a defense attorney when defendants would focus on how "insulting" or "rude" the judge/prosecutor/officer was being to them--I'm not talking about when they actually were rude, which obviously happens. But I mean when they'd say, "they're only bringing up that one time--they don't ever say all the good stuff I've done!" or "when sentencing me the judge made it sound like I'm a criminal!"

Trump’s approach to his hotels has always been to buy the cheapest shit he could find and then claim it’s worth exponentially more.

In the LA photos, the face of the elderly woman in the wheelchair, the look in her eyes, says everything, and none of it is good. My heart aches for her.

I’ve been unlucky enough to have a big fire—a really big fire—five miles from my parents’ home. We were ready to go when the word came, but fortunately the word never came. It’s like reality pumped up to eleven. All you can do is wait, worry, and water everything down. It’s not pleasant.

The terrible beauty of these fires masks what they leave behind. There’s nothing pretty about that.

Hang in there, Los Angelenos.
