I know they're cats, but it's so interesting to me how animal parents can be like good parents everywhere. That mama cat's face and body language as she watches her kitten is somehow so moving to me.

I just showed up for the Tabs to see if I can figure out where the world and our fucked up country stood this morning at least, and this little Gif has me all over the place. It reminds me of actual cats I've had, it is so cute and in a way, so sad, just because, or maybe, because I am all over the place and a crazy cat lady. Now I feel the need to go look at some old cat pics of mine, Tina Tiny and Big Fred, the accidental parents, and the litter we kept. They were a million in one, had a son that was a million in one male tortie and.....I miss them all. Cute Gif, LOL

Told ya I'm all over the place, I get the feeling that what I meant to say was.....my cats were one, or two, or five in a million as the son of theirs proved it by being a male tortoiseshell, a one in a million chance if ever there was one. See, I can't even word shit right today, LOLOL other than to say; My cats were sweet, unique and also smart, loving and full of personality, and comforting (some of them, ha), and stuck up and perfect!! That made them one in a million, or 5 in a million.

We need kittens or puppies every day to take the bite out of the reality of the world we're living in now.

Amen to that. I'd even accept that kitten who thinks of nothing but murder all day from The Onion.

The mama cat's attention

Is focused on the young

She closely views her kitten

Climb up every rung

And as her baby climbs up

To make the lesson stick

Mama gives encouragement

With a loving lick.

I'm thankful for cats every day. Other animals are pretty good, too, but cats have a special place in my heart.

Short kitties got no reason

Short kitties got no reason

Short kitties got no reason

To live

They got little paws

And little eyes

And they walk around

Tellin' great big lies

They got little noses

And tiny little teeth

They wear platform shoes

On their nasty little feet

Good to see that Trump is resuming the old tradition of naming Army bases after soldiers who are not just treasonous, but cringingly bad generals. As a Marine, I have to feel at least a little approval of anything that humiliates Doggies.

On Leonidas Polk: "Besides being a basically incompetent general, Polk had the added fault of hating to take orders."

Steven E. Woodworth, "Jefferson Davis and His Generals." He just says it so well.

"Trump re-renaming all the Confederate bases. Because why wouldn’t we honor the traitors who fought a war against the United States so they could get to keep slaves."

The Donald already ignores any Amendment he doesn't feel like following, why should the Thirteenth be any different? He's hoping if he honors enough Confederate "heroes", he'll get to staff up a plantation of his very own.

We need to either get rid of the union, or get rid of Trump. This is untenable.

Having been in the army, ages ago, I do not recall having to march on my stomach. I doubt I would have gotten very far, had I tried.

Zelenskyy Offers to Broker Peace Between Musk and Trump

KYIV (The Borowitz Report)—In a bold attempt at high-stakes diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered on Friday to broker a peace deal between Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump.

“It is time for the fighting to stop,” Zelenskyy said to Musk and Trump. “And I am willing to make the ultimate sacrifice: sitting in the same room as the two of you.”

Addressing Trump, the Ukrainian declared, "Mr. President, Elon gave you 250 million dollars, and you haven't said ‘thank you’ once."

"President Donald Trump appeared to get a little confused on Tuesday as he attempted to lob an insult at his predecessor during a speech at Fort Bragg. “I’ve known this guy for a long time,” Trump said of former President Joe Biden. “He was never the sharpest bulb.”"

"NEW YORK — Imagine this: You’re home for the evening, winding down. There’s a knock at the door. Who’s there? It’s Anthony Weiner. And he wants your vote.
