who is going to give these kittens a home? they have had all their veterinary care now: spayed and all their shots and checkups. they are deeply bonded and very well socialized. do you want kittens who will listen to you? you've found them! lots of cuddles and active play to be had!

Look, they’ll only let me vote once and there’s no such thing as “voting harder” so they don’t need to give me any more reasons to vote.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

Claxton was enormously affected by his experience of WW1, and then later WW2 veterans. He fully embraced the principle of "building a town fit for heroes" and was adamant that meant creating a town with safe roads/cycling. He specifically said he wanted no-one to survive a war then die on a road.

I recently heard the story that Nixon, drunk, walked out of the White House one night and met with antiwar protestors, I think near the Reflecting Pool. Can you imagine Trump, or really any president since Nixon, doing that?

Listening to the 1968 BBC radio Hobbit and it’s refreshing to hear the dwarves being presented exactly the way the book in isolation does: not stout warriors, but a bunch of bourgeois, middle aged men who are so in over their heads that adding Bilbo increases their competence by an order of magitude

This paragraph builds and builds the insane comedy but you're not ready for the kicker.

Atelier Missor, active since 2021, describes itself on X as a “classical foundry in Paris, on its way to building a new Rome.” Its founder, Missor Movahed Ghaleh Nouri, has claimed he was drawn to pursue classical sculpture after receiving a vision of Napoleon I while wandering the Place Vendôme in Paris. His staff wear identical tan suspenders, billowy shirts, and unkempt facial hair, and—per previous versions of their website—spent much of the first half of the 2020s producing bronze and clay busts of such figures as (of course) Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Jordan Peterson.

North Carolina cutting the state gas tax for one month would take $225 million out of the DOT budget — money that is used to build and repair roads and bridges — and for a person who uses 50 gallons of a gas in a month, it would put one (1) crisp twenty dollar bill back in their pocket

North Carolina lawmakers are expected to return to Raleigh Wednesday for a one-day special session to vote on suspending the state’s 41-cent-per-gallon gas tax.

In our house we have a rule. Anyone under an animal is excused from all chores and is waited on hand and foot by everyone else. Still haven’t figured out the whole peeing issue though.

A live cat lies on the lap of a human skeleton. The caption reads, “When your pet falls asleep on u and u don't want to wake it so u just sit there until you die of natural causes”
