Assholes with fireworks caused a fire in my home last July 4. We lost everything we owned, and are still displaced. I've always been opposed to amateur fireworks, but if you're gonna use them, 1) don't be an idiot, and 2) please have a fire extinguisher on hand

Apologies. We had a long period of no matches. 2025 has been a rough year with losing 3 of our roster, and it's likely we will lose more this year. 10 of our PurrWrestlers are over the age of 14. In the meantime, enjoy. PurrWrestler Penny is itching for a fight! #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

We lost another senior PurrWrestler. Sophie crossed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. She was 15 and had lymphoma. Our roster is full of Super Seniors over the age of 14. We had no losses in 2024, but it looks like 2025 will be making up for that. ☹️ #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

In a few short weeks, Trump has done to America what he did to the Taj Mahal casino. He will leave the former like he did the latter: bankrupt and crumbling, without giving a damn about the people whose lives he ruined or the suffering left in his wake. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/he-bankrup...

He Bankrupted His Casino. Now He's Bankrupting Our Country.
Throughout three presidential campaigns, people who’ve voted for Donald Trump have repeatedly said they’ve done so, in part, because he was a “successful businessman.”

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk was just awarded a $5.9 billion taxpayer-funded SpaceX contract by Trump—the largest in a new package of space deals. Trump ensured Musk got the money, fully aware he’s facing “steep personal cost.”
