News flash. Most people over the age of 40 don't give a flying fork about Hasan Piker. Even fewer know who dafuq he is. If we want to get OUT of this dystopian nightmare we're living in here in the US, we need to care less about "internet influencers" and more about actual working people.

I have a little song I sing for this little sprite when I'm playing with her using the "feather on a string" toy. "She flies through the air with the greatest of ease. She's the young tortico with the little pink beans" During the day she likes to hang out with me in my home office.
A tortishell cat with white markings on her face and rear leg is laying on the back of a sofa (with a crocheted afghan draped on it). Behind her is a large window with a view from the second floor of a house. It is bright snd sunny outside. The cat looks very relaxed, and her eyes are closed.

Rage Bait for Tuesday 8/25 Target has to be reminded that blackface / minstrels are still racist. The SCrOTUS continues to be not only useless but dangerous. Cheetolini insists on poking Canada with a pointed stick. Dickless Donny doesn't realize that we need them more than they need us.

To the parents of transgender kids (girls in particular), and to transgender adult athletes, most people don't care what your GAB was. It's just that we live in a time when misinformation and hatred is pervasive. Stay strong. You still have allies. Trans rights will always be human rights.

Here is a bit of hopium for fellow Illinois residents. I'm going to be reaching out to my state representative about this and share my ideas of how we might make use of that revenue.

This is Jimmy, aka "Jimbo" aka "The King of the Suburb". He is very old (at least 18) and sometimes gets confused about various things. One thing he is not confused about is food. This is him letting me know that it's time for kibble. (Yes he is a Big Orange Cat). #cats #catmom

Elon Musk is NOT a good guy. He's not someone to look up to. The man is a real life supervillain. He has more money than any one human can possibly spend in one lifetime. I don't believe in the whole concept of "evil" in the context of religion but he's a very very bad man.

This is Molly. She's a "tortical" (a tortoiseshell calico), about 2 years old. Sweet girl was surrendered to a local shelter in October. We adopted her a month after we lost one of our kitties to CKD. We love her very much.

Hey Bluesky people - Is there a midterm PRIMARY election in your state this month? Do some research and figure out which candidate would best represent your ideals. Maybe the one receiving the most PAC money is NOT the best choice. Then actually get out and VOTE. (Early if it's an option)

The Republican congresscritters interrogating Jack Smith are obviously "triggered" because they're not letting him complete the answers to their questions. Makes this hard to watch, but it's also interesting that they know that Trump's actions were criminal.

A reminder for the imbeciles who slept through World Geography (or can't be bothered to learn anything about the world outside of the US) Greenland = large island, mostly covered in Ice. Part of Kingdom of Demark. Iceland = small island that is mostly "green". Not part of Denmark.

The BLOTUS has the attention span of a raccoon on meth. Annex Greenland, annex Canada, commit a few war crimes, build a golden "ballroom", a traffic circle hazard, then insult women, allies, and make up more shit about ending wars while boasting about designing new war ships.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

Suspect "Tyler Robinson" was read his rights (Law & Order style). This is way more due process than the disappeared immigrants have been given. It should be fun to watch the news media explain what "Groypers" are. Would have been more entertaining to watch a UFC match between Kirk and Nick Fuentes.

I have zero nostalgia for the decades before the ACA (and Medicaid expansion). There was never anything "great" about NOT being able to afford a doctor visit, or afford prescriptions (and employed FT) I remember a lot of terrible things about the 70s - 90s. At least we had better music back then.

I did not discover the composition and arrangement talents of Brian Wilson until about 15 years ago. I was missing out on so much spectacular music. If all you ever knew of the Beach Boys was "surfin safari" or that horrific mess "Kokomo" you should check out the "Pet Sounds" or "Smile" albums.

Cryptocurrency is a scam. It's a form of gambling. Trading your cash for invisible "chips" you cant buy groceries with or pay your rent. It's a bullshit game for tech bros who (literally) have cash to burn. This video is from 2 years ago but explains it very well.
