Our kittens are six months old today! This is Cashew, the only girl. She's a beautiful torbie with a big, bushy tail. We used to think of them as temporary houseguests; now they're family. #cats #kittens

If we're going to re-examine decades-old immigration papers, as a prelude to denaturalizing some unlikable woman, let's start with a certain Slovene, an escort and nude model who somehow obtained an "Einstein" visa. #DeportMelania

Well, there's always next year. No fair-weather fan here; I support the Cubs in good times and bad. Good luck to the Padres, who were excellent in every way. #Cubs #MLB #FlytheW

No. Fuck no. I expect this type of thinking from Trump and his followers, but who is the fuckwit in MLB who proposed this, and what is his/her home address? Asking for a friend. #MLB #NationalParks

Trump administration considers building baseball park in Grand Teton National Park

I'm watching "War Games" on TV and feeling very old. Matthew Broderick has a monochrome monitor, dot-matrix printer and dial-up modem. As I used to. And he does research on Falken by going to a library, looking at microfilm and thumbing through the card catalog. As I used to. #Filmsky #WarGames

I'm relieved Diaper Don didn't shuffle down to the field and show the country how little he knows about college football. On the other hand, having Johnny Knoxville and Pat McAfee on the set at the same time is pure Idiocracy. #CollegeGameDay

Trump’s original plan for the triumphal arch was to allow tourists and tour groups to go up to the top where there would be an observation area. Now it is apparently going to be an area for snipers. Or is it both snipers and tour groups together?

Holy shit! Texas, down by 17 at the half, rallies to beat Ohio State 24-23 in Austin. Equally enjoyable: Texas fans disrupt a pregame interview with a certain US Senator by chanting, "Ted Cruz sucks!" #CancunCruz #HookEm

Never forget that on 9/11, after the collapse of the Twin Towers, Donald Trump gloated on local TV that he now owned the tallest building in Lower Manhattan. He's not a hero. He's a fucking sociopath. #FuckTrump #NeverForget

Twenty-five years ago today, I watched as a skyscraper, atop which I had walked as a teenager, fell to the ground, the result of a terrorist attack. Its twin tower collapsed soon thereafter. I'll never forget the confusion, the horror and the sadness of that awful day. #NeverForget #TwinTowers

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

I work at an animal shelter, so my shoes (and the rest of my clothes) smell like dogs. Our kitten Cashew never has seen a dog, but she likes the way they smell. The scent of canines sends her into dreamland. #cats #caturday

Our black panther Tony and his siblings turned four months old this week. The night they were born, they were blind, greasy little things, totally dependent on their mother (and us). Now they're beautiful, curious kittens who love pets and scratches. They're perfect. #cats #caturday

On August 8, 1974, Pres. Nixon resigned, due in part to information uncovered by an investigation of the U.S. Justice Department, and under pressure from congressional Republicans On August 8, 2026, Todd Blanche was confirmed by Senate Republicans, ensuring DOJ will never investigate Pres. Trump.

Todd Blanche having his conformation vote at 4:00 AM tells you everything you need to know about how Republicans in Congress operate. They reserve their most toxic moves for the dead of night.

All 55 UEFA nations have unanimously agreed to boycott FIFA competitions if plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors move forward. European football is drawing a line in the sand: the World Cup belongs to the players and fans.

I'm shattered, absolutely shattered, to learn that Irish musician Glen Hansard has died at age 56. Most Americans would know him from the films "The Commitments" and "Once." He won an Oscar for co-writing the song "Falling Slowly," from the latter movie. #RIPGlenHansard
