I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

"Final scene," announces the wraith. "Everyone dies."

"Even me?" I ask. "The narrator?"

"Especially you."

*But if I die, who tells the story?*

"The story tells itself," the wraith explains, fading. "Always has."

I look at you—yes, you, reading this. "Guess you're in charge now."

The pagoda crumbles. The shrine dims.

"Make it good," I whisper, exiting.

Give kitty treat! Etruscan art frequently features cats; on vases and tomb paintings in Tarquinia and Orvieto, domestic felines crouch expectantly under banquet tables and couches. This is more unusual, almost Greek, with the cat leaping for a treat. 🏺 🐈‍⬛ #ancientbluesky Abt. 490 BCE. 📸 me
An unusual scene decorates this black-figure neck amphora: a nude youth wearing a chlamys over his shoulders walks to the left, holding a morsel of food for a long-tailed cat. Viewed from above with a frontal face, the cat leaps up with its forelegs extended to snatch the tempting treat. On the reverse is a winged horse, perhaps Pegasus, in profile toward the left, with its wings spread as if ascending or landing.

The painted decoration of this pot is close to the work of the Painter of the Dancing Satyrs. This artisan, whose ancient name is unknown, was active in Cerveteri during the first quarter of the 5th century B.C. Depictions of cheetahs and cats as domestic pets occur relatively frequently in Etruscan art, although scenes of cat-teasing are rare and are more typical in Greek art. On vases and tomb paintings in Tarquinia and Orvieto, domestic felines crouch expectantly under banquet tables and couches.
