#caturday
Alma Cuddlesweetie just now on Caturday. She’s aitting up, grooming her back right paw. Her four toesies are spread wide like a (human) kid proudly sharing that they’re five years old. The paw fur is white, claws are out, and her pink tongue is really getting in there between the middle two toes. 
Alma is sitting on my bed, facing away. The bedspread is off white. Her worn yellow toy floof is close by. Alma herself is a grey tabby with white belly and four white legs. She is my girl.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

What in the condescending misogyny is this, @wired.com? “Perimenopause” isn’t a “buzzword” invented by pharma startups — if you haven’t heard it much until recently, maybe that’s because women’s health in midlife was almost completely disregarded www.wired.com/story/inside...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I'm afraid @craigspencer.bsky.social gives MAHA far too much credit. MAHA is just a rebranding of the medical freedom/antivax coalition that has been undermining public health for decades. It isn't unique in caring about healthy food, chronic disease, or healthier children—nearly everyone does.

I voted for the first time in 1992 so it annoys me when pundits like Yglesias urge a Clinton/Gore model for success. First off, while Clinton/Gore were more conservative on some key issues than Dukakis (death penalty, welfare) they didn't openly promote regressive views on culture.

The number of Democrats who posted bullshit about Lindsey Graham is astonishing given the givings. It cannot be that the GOP is an existential threat but also you really liked how Graham negotiated with humor and wit. It cannot be that Trump is a fascist but also you're confirming his nominees

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

I just posted a reference to “Friday I’m in love” and now I have that lovely song in my head. 🥰 I‘m working on replacing the Saturday line with Caturday, so. I would like to get the earworm out but probably not for a little while.
The cats on Caturday. The floor cat, looking up at his big sis, is about to pounce. She hisses first but that all happens after the photo, sorry y’all missed it. 

Photo description: beautiful white and grey tabby cat sitting on wingback chair, eyes closed. Beautiful grey tabby cat staring up at her. Sun coming through the window, Swedish ivy growing wild.

Another search I did a few days ago after I saw someone post it. Maybe Google ai does this to get us all riled up and posting about it but maybe it’s just this bad?
This is another Google AI result that’s funny sad: how many p’s in the word pneumonia? I tested this after I saw another person post the search because I thought “surely Google AI has figured out its error?” But it hadn’t. From a few days ago - not sure if it’s right today

The screenshot text:
Me: how many p’s in the word pneumonia 
Answer:
“There are 2 p’s in the word pneumonia (p-n-e-u-m-o-n-I-a). [quora hyperlink]
The first ‘p’ appears at the very beginning of the word, but it is silent when spoken. The second ‘p’ appears in the middle. [facebook hyperlink]”

“It’s Friday I’m in fish”
Screenshot of my Google search for the wild (bad) AI response to the question: “how many days of the week have a fish in them”. Others have gotten multiple days, lots of Saturfish screenshots. 
The Google search ai text:

My search: “how many days of the week have a fish in them”
AI response (word for word): 
“Exactly one day of the week has “fish” in its name: Friday. 

If you are thinking of the riddle “which days of the week have an “h” in them,” the answer is three:
Thursday
Should
Shall

Wait… that’s the classic joke! But for the actual word “fish,” it’s just Friday.”

The Colorado Democratic Party censured Gov. Jared Polis for his commutation of Tina Peters in a vote of ~200 state committee members tonight. A resolution declaring Polis "materially harmed" the party and barring him from formal participation in party events was adopted with 89.8% support.
The State Central Committee finds that Governor Jared Polis's decision to grant clemency to Tina Peters materially harmed the Colorado Democratic Party's institutional credibility and efforts to defend democratic institutions and election integrity.
The State Central Committee formally condemns Governor Jared Polis's clemency decision regarding Tina Peters and formally censures Governor Jared Polis for conduct inconsistent with the Colorado Democratic Party's commitment to democratic institutions, election integrity, and public accountability.
The Colorado Democratic Party further clarifies that the clemency decision does not reflect the values, institutional positions, or democratic commitments of the Colorado Democratic Party.
The Colorado Democratic Party reaffirms its unwavering commitment to election workers, free and fair elections, and the rejection of election denialism and disinformation in all forms.
Thest atelevie in defense rectemoracy and plide trustin Color be suctily onganized an.
following the commutation decision
Until further action by the State Central Committee or Executive Committee, Governor Jared Polis shall not participate as an honored guest, featured speaker, or officially recognized representative of the Colorado Democratic Party at Party-sponsored events and functions. including but not limited to the Obama Gala and DemFest.
