I got to pet one of those (black jag or panth, IDK) in the youth of my madness. It was large puppy age and I was most impressed by that long thick tail. Mrooowww!!
We have micropanthers, AKA domestic shorthair black cats. The older one (10 years this past weekend) is just over seven lbs; the other might be 10lbs but is too fierce to pick up.
"Now THIS is a good pitch. You're sitting down, right? Okay. Here it is. Are you ready? Ready. Okay. Picture it. A remake of "Cat People' using twin black panther kittens. It'll have a 'Dead Ringers' quality AND be kid-friendly. Whaddya think, hunh? Is this genius or what? Wait! Where are you going?"
I'm recopying my comment that I posted on your Substack, Martini:
The twins are adorbs! Wakanda Forever (tips hat to the late Chadwick Boseman). Every time I go through my streaming channels I'll stop on a favorite movie and pick it up where it is. On Saturday it was "Marshall" with the late, great Chadwick Boseman. Colorectal cancer cheated us of having Mr. Boseman be able to continue to portray Thurgood Marshall when he argued against segregation in the Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka Kansas cases before the Supreme Court in 1954 and when Mr. Marshall became the first African-American supreme court justice. Cancer effing sucks.
Back when I was a patient navigator and conducting group education, the untimely death of Chadwick Boseman gave me an in to convince reluctant clients on the benefits of colonoscopy. IMHO, it was the only good thing to come out of his death.
Martin sucks. He's not at the DNC to fight. He's not there to get creative. He's there to do the same old boring white guy things that all the old boring white guys at the DNC want to do. Anything else scares the crap out of them.
Someone here said the biggest problem with the Democratic Party is that they think the Progressive wing of their party if a greater danger to the country than fascism.
I think I know what and where you mean but if you wish to endear yourself to the denizens out there, never abbreviate "San Francisco" in word or print. "San Fran" will mark you as an auslander and even buying a round of drinks won't save you. Saying "Frisco", except with direct reference to passing railroad boxcar, will reactivate the Committee of Vigilance, risking you tar and feathers. For brevity , you can simply say "The City" anywhere in California and the cognoscenti will nod knowingly. To be colorful, refer to "Baghdad by the Bay" and they will reminisce with you at length about Herb Caen, possibly even Emperor Norton. A wave of the hand and a terse "East Bay" will handily cover everything beyond Treasure Island at least as far as Dublin.

They're beautiful.
The Panther has eyes
that are green and bright
and his fur is black
so he can hunt at night

I believe it was Ogden Nash who wrote a very short poem:
"When called by a panther,
Don't anther."
Also The Lord in his wisdom created the fly and then forgot to tell us why
Don't caress the weasel
And don't fall too soon
Don't seek the blood from the panther

That’s fun, pulling a strip of paper in front of cats… more fun with packing tape.
Any in pink ?
Kittens!! 🐈⬛
The Duke is fond of them.
Kitties Just Wanna Have Fun!
On behalf of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, I demand the Loser of Queens keep our honorable name out of his face shit hole forever.

I loved the Queen of Kitsch article and wish to live in her house.
(Actual) Big Head Todd libelz!
He was a student of my brother's. Sometimes class would be excused so they could all go see him and the Monsters play live on campus.
Also Todd's Asian, so shouldn't be grouped in with the white supremacists.
how is musks lawsuit even a thing? he's clearly trying to force a competitor out of the market?
Anybody seen Musk lately? 🤔

I hadn't noticed Dora Alcover's project till now, or I'd have sent it a few groats.
Good on her.
I tried writing this in my old high school French, but after sixty-odd elapsed years, I'm no longer fluent.
Local municipalities are cancelling flock contracts and trying to get rid of flock cameras. Why does everything have to be awful?

Well, it's a greater danger to something ... their power? Their funders?
Thank you for the reverse posting with good news first! Starting with the panthers it's made my day.
"...Musk and Altman to be handcuffed together for a month while being served and lectured by a dry, zingy English butler..."
Sounds like that sitcom Seinfeld and Costanza were pitching.
Today, May the 4th, is Star Wars day. I can't explain it, but the more I think about it the funnier it gets.

Frisco is a suburb in Texas, nowhere near the lovely Bay.
So.: "Frisco, Texas". It figgers.
Agreed. San Francisco native here.
