Anybody seen a Nigerian Prince lately?

Smart, articulate women who persevere in the face of difficulty start out as smart-assed, mouthy, stubborn daughters. This is by necessity as the two sets of traits are the same, only the names are different.

Cats are like kids. After two, the actual number doesn’t matter.

And they can’t use that diesel in our trucks anyway. What good is it going to do?

That’s how mom woke me up nearly every school day.

“Sister” is an anagram of “resist”. Yep, squares with my experience.

The ZZZs always win. We had a kitten that would do that for a few seconds then just fall over.

It’s ARTIFICIAL intelligence because it ain’t real. Unlike Trump’s, which is just missing.

Whatever it is, it ain’t good.

Fogtober. Good name for it. Morning flights this month are always a crapshoot.

Huh? That level of stupidity should be disqualifying.

I like your definition. Whatever Vance said described something else. What does an economic system have to do with cultural issues?

It’s rape. It’s also political terrorism and a hate crime. Hang ‘em.

Is she rolling her eyes? She’s rolling her eyes! I can just hear the “you kids are driving me crazy!” from here.

Looks like the cat might disagree.

“Don’t” cats don’t get up to trouble. Now, where is that damn edit button?

A cat is either contemplating or committing mayhem whenever its eyes are open. Or, cats to “get up” to trouble, when they’re up, it’s trouble. Especially when there are two or more.

It has been my experience that *everybody* is safer with drag queens than with frat boys.

Grandmas can be so surprising…

We expected this. It’s not Mamdani per se, but he had something to do with it. When things are going smoothly and people have food and shelter, crime tends to take care of itself.

Sam, we tried intimidation, it didn’t work. Expansion just means you don’t count as much as you do now. We don’t expect that to change your faulty logic.

Maybe someone should explain it to her?

I’m not sure he can be impeached, but he can be arrested.

What’s required is demand, and that in turn requires living wages for working people, unless we can come up with some other source of funds.

So many cats, so little house.

I thought a previous SCOTUS case made this illegal.

Jennings, warning about communism is NOT a political service, it’s a political message. Go back to school, you’ve still got some work to do.

People, we *agreed* we’d never show these pictures in public. I’m old enough to be a member of Lessor Seattle. Remember Emmett Watson?

Gee, I wonder why ALL my clothes have cat hair on them?

Ah, a Maine Coon. They have no modesty. Frankly, they don’t really need it.

Scott Whitmire @swhitmire.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Or seeing a big wet hairball and deciding to wait until it dries to clean it up.

According to a local news report, the seat in the text, section 109 row 1, doesn’t exist in Atlanta. They had the evidence they needed to disprove their assumptions but ignored it. Now they’re embarrassed. Oh, well.

Amazing. A good sheepdog is worth more than the farm. Sheepdog trials are the most fun sport to watch.

Mullins is an easy mark. He’s a plumber. He doesn’t know this shit. When would he have learned it?

It’s a crime to show a picture like that in public. We all *agreed* that it always rains here.

“With all due respect” has taken on a whole new meaning.

Here’s the fourth law of physics: if you have a cat in the house, even if it’s not yours, there is not a single horizontal surface on which said cat has not sat.

This is why women in conservative Arab countries have to cover themselves. It’s not the women.

Schmidt’s comment is the giveaway: the Warriors-Hawks game was the only NBA game in Atlanta. They started off wrong and didn’t confirm he was even IN Atlanta.

Everybody outside Washington State makes that third confusion.

Chalking that up to “confusion” is letting them off easy. Neither team was mentioned, they just assumed and thought they could bluff their way.

He asks this while Trump openly brags about “his” DOJ. At this point, it doesn’t matter if Biden tried to influence Smith.
