Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

    Facebook says nearly 50m users compromised in huge security breach

    I’m glad I don’t use facebook.

    Really good looking kitty. I am still at work but will leave when I get a call from my daughter, who is visiting.

    Is it just me, or does Mouse have an unusually large head? ?

    This shitshow of a week has me very run down. Way too many bad memories getting raked back up by Kavanaugh, and not just of harassment or assault. Need snuggles from both kitties and G, preferably at the same time.

    Just got a PPP poll. Interesting questions. I used to get polled about every other week this close to an election. Now it’s multiple times per day. CA-45, where we are voting between two female candidates. Results will be telling.

    Tail curl means very happy kitteh. I know my ginger derp cat does it often enough when he’s around me – he knows he’s about to get pampered!

    I’m supposed to be washing clothes, cleaning house, and packing to drive back to Houston for my two week shift of nanny duties. Instead I’m sitting on the couch looking at a cute kitten on the internet. I’m not looking forward to the drive, but I am anxious to see how my 5 1/2 month old granddaughter has changed in the last couple of weeks. I feel blessed to have her and her three year old sister to take my mind off of political stuff.

    TaMara: I read your book and loved it. I’m eagerly looking forward to the next one.

    @Mnemosyne:

    I feel exactly the same way. Except doggies and not kitties.

    Though it may be a kitty soon. We found the cat family that had the poor kitten who died a few weeks ago. They seem to have found a way into our greenhouse. We can’t seem to capture them but we keep trying. There are three kittens. If we can get them trapped, John wants to keep one. The kittens are adorable, I must admit.

    @schrodingers_cat:

    Clueless dudes being clueless and insisting on arguing with me even after I tell them not push to piss me off. That’s the kind of day it is.

    But soon I’ll be hanging out with G and drinking tasty beverages, so I have that to look forward to.

    @Roger Moore:

    I think there’s some perspective distortion in some of those pictures that makes her head look bigger than it is.

    Mouse may be willows in its ancestry.

    @geg6:

    I am not the cat expert that other people are, but I think the first step towards getting them captured is to start leaving food out for them inside the greenhouse. It starts to get them used to the idea that maybe humans aren’t so scary.

    @geg6: Yup: food is the way to taming them.Also, two kittens are a whole lot less trouble than one, as they play with each other rather than demanding attention from you. Three are no problem at all.

    We wrapped up our fiscal year this week and I’m hoping I didn’t overlook anything. We did try our best to get the bulk of it done before the end of August because of my surgery, so hopefully it’s all done.

    @Roger Moore: I have, but I’ve been doing litterboxes for so long, it’s not that big of a deal. Each cat has one and I scoop every morning, along with my other chores, like collecting eggs and feeding and watering the crew. Now, if they had a Great Dane pooper scooper, that I might shell out the big bucks for. LOL

    Our rental goats are still here until tommorrow. Amazingly efficient. Ate almost everything in sight. Ate all the leaves and most of the trunks, so not much left behind when they leave.

    Also they are hilariously entertaining while just doing their jobs.

    Very sweet.

    My kitty (my only current pet since Hek (cat) and Puck (dog) died in the last 4 months) is short-named Mouse. Her full name is The Gray Mouser, and she is gray and long-haired and misses them both as much as I do.

    The most fun time for kittehs and their humans. On the other hand two of ours selected us as their humans in April a year ago, and there hasn’t been a day since that they haven’t made me laugh. But the kitty levitation period is the best.

    My first cat was a little grey tabby who loved to play fetch with tin foil balls.
    Her name was Emmy, because…..its right there on the forehead …big old “M”

    That’s a beautiful kitty ?

    Listening to the couple at the next table o er argue as to whether or not having a baby will save their relationship.

    Thinking of buying them a bottle of whiskey to prevent any immediate action on any decisions arrived at tonight

    @Sab: “Goats love deserts. That’s why they make so many of them.” Or words to that effect, Terry Pratchett, Small Gods IIRC.

    Luca says meow to Mouse and admires his shiny youthful coat. I’m wondering whether there will be goat pics.

    He’s beautiful. I wish I could access a picture I took of a little guy who showed up outside my kitchen window Wednesday night.

    He’s just about the most beautiful cat I’ve seen with marking and colorings very similar to Mouse except they were far more uniform.

    Working with the crazy cat ladies to get him fixed and homed (I already found a home across the street).

    @Miss Bianca:

    Can I just say that your tale of listening to Quadrophenia on headphones led me into a three week period of intense listening to The Who?

    I’m younger than you and the full realization didn’t come until the end of the decade (thanks to my cohort of older siblings including one brother in particular I heard The Who from a young age) but got-damn I listened to the shit out of Tommy, an album I treated the way you treated Quadrophenia.

    A brown classic tabby! I almost always see orange classic tabbies so that’s pretty cool to see a brown one. My brown tabby is a herringbone.

    Mouse is a handsome fellow. Looks a lot like one of ours, who passed away about a year ago. Hope he brings you as much love and laughter as ours did.

    Jacy appears to have my cat in her house. Other than my cat’s nose being pink and hers is black, Monkey and Mouse are dead ringers.

    If your cat is puking up hairballs, the solution is simple: mineral oil. Unlike veg oil, mineral oil is not absorbed through the intestinal wall, instead it pulls the hair right out the poop chute, without giving the cat diarrhea or loose stools. Veg oil is absorbed and can cause the hsir to adhere to the intestinal wall, eventually, potentially, causing a blockage. I started dosing my cats back in the mid ’80s at my cat’s vet’s recommendation. Most cats will drink it on their own, some won’t. I give our Gracie a measured teaspoon in a tiny bowl along with her food. She typically will drink it all within 24 hours. I recommend dosing at least every two weeks to keep the hair from accumulating in the stomach. The worst that can happen if your cat has too much is a greasy butt.

    Our Gracie is now 16 years old, blind, with probably only about another year left in her. I would love another kitten but after 45 years of cleaning stinky cat pans and the possibility of me outliving a new cat, I will have to forgo that pleasure.
