#Caturday Wife rescued Ivy from the interstate last year. Now she lies on her stomach before bed every night while she reads. She sleeps ON her pillow next to her ear, working as the perfect white noise machine, purring in her ear, helping her to fall and stay fast asleep.

For #Caturday my Zeus gives our Momma kitty, Willow, some love! She loves her puppy, and he loves her back. They go on walks together, rubbing bodies together all the way. Everyone thinks we have either the weirdest cat or oddest dog.

Bruce and the band opened the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis with the Motown classic "War" and "Born in the U.S.A." — a one-two punch that was live streamed on Bruce's social media for the first time, appearing here with a new audio mix by Chiller Sound.

She wandered into someone’s yard, already so close to giving birth. Not long after, she delivered five tiny babies. She’s still practically a baby herself about a year old , and now she’s trying to figure out how to be a mom inside a kennel. They’re completely dependent on her right now, and she’s doing everything she can… but this isn’t where any of them should be. They need a rescue to step in so she can raise them somewhere safe, quiet, and out of the stress of the care center.Animal ID: #A5766075Lancaster Animal Care CenterPlease check availability by entering the Animal ID on animalcare.lacounty.gov — you can view all our available animals there.🏡 Address: 5210 West Ave. I, Lancaster, CA 93536⏰ Open: Monday - Saturday, 11 AM - 5 PM📧 Email: ACCLancaster@animalcare.lacounty.gov☎️ Phone: 661-940-4191#dog #puppies #puppy

Great, Great crowd at the Sioux Falls #NoKings rally #LoveAmerica protest today! Over 7,500 lined Phillips Avenue downtown. Peaceful get-together, and when Trump faithful drove by, we chanted, "Love, not hate, makes America great!" Way to go, everybody!!!

Post-op for my throat surgery. My doctor says "all clear," looks like they got it all!! 28 days of radiation coming up in my near future after some healing. Any prayers, good juju, vibes, whatever you've got, much appreciated! Thank you.

PET-CT scan came back. Malignant tumor found in throat near where my left tonsil used to be and lower. 3 cm x 2.5 cm. But NO metastasis anywhere, no other hotspots (scanned head to thigh) or lesions! (I also have CLL so I was worried) Surgery & radiation, but should be end of it. Deep sigh of relief

From the press room at the Masters in the 1940s. "Sorry, did you mean to add me to your group chain mail list? I seem to have been added by mistake. I received correspondence regarding something called, "Operation Overlord," scheduled for this upcoming June 6th. Is this to be kept hush-hush?"

On the Women's side after tonight, my bracket is 🔥 29/32 1st Round Games predicted correct. 15/16 2nd Round Games correct. So far, 4 for 4 in the Sweet 16. Have picked 18 straight WINNERS since Baylor lost to Ole Miss. Little nervous about JuJu Watkins' injury, however, vs KSU.

Take the gloves off, Democrats! Street rules apply now. No more common courtesy in the Halls of Congress. The Right is selling Teslers on the White House lawn and making keying cars a federal offense! Grow spines! Project 2025 IS happening now - undermine it at all costs! Win every run-up election!

This right here is what needs to go on for two years. Democrats, pick your running mates now and start running like Trump did. Get your messages out early! Pete & Gretchen? Shapiro & Walz? Gavin & Beshear? Start hitting the road and each hit many of the same common themes. Fight for sanity!

You're saved, California! Trump did it! He single-handedly made it rain, which of course means he "brought rain to CA from the Pacific Northwest." "The days of putting a Fake Environmental Argument, over PEOPLE, are over," he said. "Enjoy the water, California!!!"

@datelinenbc.bsky.social I think we might have had some late night shenanigans at our neighbor's house last night. The garbage truck arm jostled one of these bones out of their bin as it emptied it this morning. Murder? Ham bone? Whos catching the Grinch in the act on Christmas night? #Mystery

Wife came home on the interstate last night, and by the interchange was a scared cat. She stopped on the exit ramp, and it at first ran away. Then back to her. Then INTO her car! Now, after posting on our local Lost & Found (no luck), we are keeping it in our garage as a rescue.
