I continue to believe thaat Mother Russia put a finger on the scales in a few swing states. I hope the means of collecting and counting votes is secure now.

This is never a fun experience. It happened to me once at LaGuardia. The plane was shaking like mad, knuckles were getting white, and then the pilot pulled us out of there very close to the runway. Wind shear due to storms near the airport. We landed safely at Kennedy. where the weather was fine.

And of course that's in addition to almost 1/3 of Maine Coons being genetically predisposed to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - a painful, debilitating, and often deadly heart condition. š¢ www.ufaw.org.uk/cats/maine-c...

I just want to cry when I see viral photos and videos of those super-sized Maine Coons. The bigger they get, the more likely they are to develop a painful condition called hip dysplasia. "But they look cool" is not a valid reason to make animals suffer. www.catster.com/cat-health-c...

Trump's now pretending to take the side of tipped workers, but his Labor Dept changed a rule to make it easier for bosses to pocket workers' tips. This cost tipped workers an estimated $700 million a year in wages.

In a misguided effort to be "unbiased," most news media have stopped calling Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election what it is. Instead they're using terms like "false statements" or "claims without evidence." Memo to the media: Calling out lies isn't "biased." It's your job.

Cindy, AKA Sister Margaretta, invites you to experience her belly. An unexpected twist is that you are allowed to kiss it, but not allowed to pet it.

Fuck Elon Musk. This is why right-wing billionaires sue people reporting on them. They know they can't win these lawsuits. But they also know legal fees will cripple the little guy reporting on their lies and crimes.

And the cops are blaming, as they have since the 1950s and 1960s, "outside agitators". Isn't it lovely having a corrupt ex-cop as mayor?

cat humor is shrouded in mystery. scholars are baffled. one thing, however, is certain: in cat culture there is absolutely nothing funnier than sticking a furry paw in a person's face at 3 am when they are fast asleep. a cat comedy special would just be an hour of that garbage.

"Why are our politics so hostile?" Oh, I dunno, but one factor is how rich scumbags, unsatisfied with unimaginable wealth, have declared war on the rest of the population and are trying to extract even more from people who live paycheck-to-paycheck. That tends to raise the temperature, y'know?

Do people truly not understand that it's not Biden causing this, it's Trump's supreme Court picks. They killed affirmative action and dei, they killed abortion and reproductive rights, they are killing any efforts at regulating corruption. Trump owns it all, but everybody would rather blame Biden

It's unfortunate that we can't screen for the rage-prone when people get/renew their licenses. Driving brings out the worst in far too many people.

I miss this aspect of my childhood and early adult years: local cranks were recognized as such in their communities, and people just ignored the nonsense. It didn't spread. Now the cranks find each other and blast the nonsense to anyone with the right software and an internet connection.

you think that if you put your coffee on a table, you can watch it and defend it. you can stop your cat from drinking it. but what if he approaches from under the table? what then? how will you stop what you cannot see? here is truth: you cannot protect anything you hold dear.

This idea completely ignores human nature. There will always be humans who would rather feel superior based on some trait that required no work or intelligence to achieve.

I stepped in cat vomit this morning. I was barefoot. Can never decide whether it's worse than having on shoes, since my shoes all have soles that are a pain to clear of cat vomit.

"Outside agitators" is the BS response. Same crap we heard when I was in school (1968-1972 University of Wisc.). Then the term was often code for "Jewish students from Chicago and New York", etc. NYC media are now mindlessly parroting the Outside Agitator excuse. Screw Eric Adams.
