Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

This fight is for everything.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

People are complicated. Love is not.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

In my day, never was longer.

He really is that stupid.

Saturday Night Open Thread- LA Cat Bleg

This post is in: ,

Any of you fine people in the LA area looking for some feline companionship?

Hi there –
Trying to re-home 2 cats that belonged to our neighbor who died last week. Black-er is Sadie and Orange-er is Kiki. No idea about their vet records but we think they are around or less than 10 years old. Sadie is nicer than KiKi. Can split them up if we have to – he actually took in one of the cats from a neighbor who was evicted a year ago.

Even if anyone knows a rescue that would take them – anything before the manager takes them to the city shelter this weekend.

Thanks for any help –
Holly

I am a total dick and was supposed to put this up two days ago but hopegully we can still get Sadie and Kiki.

    Can’t help but giggle, musing that a post titled Saturday Night Open Thread showing up two days ago would be taken in stride and cause nary a batted eye at this fine establishment.

    We are full up on cats, and 3000 miles away.

    Thoe are two sweet looking calicos. (Calicos and torties are my weakness.)

    I’m stuck on the line “Sadie is nicer than Kiki”, thinking that Kiki sounds like my kind of cat.

    But, I have my cat quota, and am 1100 miles away. I hope they get a home. They’re adorable, and torties are awesome.

    @Gustopher:

    Veterinarians from the University of California, Davis, have discovered, in recently published research, that cats with calico and tortoiseshell coat patterns tend to challenge their human companions more often than felines whose fur is less flashy.
    …
    The online survey, posted on a social-media site, did not reveal the study’s focus. It simply asked cat owners questions about their feline’s behaviors, and requested that they choose a color category and written description that best fit their pet.

    Calicoes and torties have reputations for being feisty and unpredictable, characteristics that the study appears to confirm. Calicoes are mostly white with patches of orange and black. Tortoiseshells have coats that feature a constellation of black, brown, amber and red patches. Because two X chromosomes are necessary to produce their coloring, the vast majority of both types of cats are female.

    “They’re fiery,” said Front Street animal-shelter manager Gina Knepp. “They’ve got a little spirit and zip to them. If you want a cat that will keep you on your toes, a calico or tortie is the way to go.”

    (I’ve had calicos and found them sweet; but boy have I got a tortie now who’s shown me a thing or two. She’s not cat-aggressive (actually shy w other animals); she’s just ‘spirited’ and impulsive. No interest in slowing down either.)

    The rescue org we got 2 of our 3 cats from may be willing to let you list the cats on their website and show them at their weekly adoption events, but you would have to schlep them out to La Cañada-Flintridge:

    @Aleta:

    Our youngest cat Charlotte is white with patches of black, but she has a very “tortie” personality. Her sister was a calico, so maybe it’s down in her genes somewhere.

    We also suspect that she may have some Siamese or Oriental Shorthair in her somewhere based on her vocalizations and some things Anne Laurie has said about Cheryl Rofer’s very similar-looking cats. (I think her Zooey is the one who could almost be Charlotte’s twin.)

    The only things that you can see is all that you lack
    All your crying don’t do no good
    Come down off the cross,
    we can use the wood

    There’s no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire
    And you’re singing lead soprano
    in a junkman’s choir

    Does life seem nasty, brutish and short

    We had a torty named Slash…name pretty much self-explanatory.

    That HR intern killed in our latest mass shooting was from my home town. My best friends oldest son was his baseball coach and gave him guidance getting that internship. He and his son spent Friday night and most of Saturday with the family, as that young man was like one of his own.
    That little community is having a tough time right now.

    News crews in town, so that circus to add to the mix.

    Oh, lor’. My husband has been wanting a calico/tortie for years, but they get snapped up so fast here. Can we get an update?

    I sure hope they both find new homes! I’m too far away and have two monsters on hand now that tie me in knots sometimes. Both of these ladies are real beauties, the one on the bottom looks like a saucy girl. The one on top though seems to speak to me as if she’s looking for someone to love her.

    Keep us updated, please!

    @Aleta: The first cat we ever had that was really mine, Niobe, was a tortie. A wonderful friend, but she definitely had the tortie personality. A diva, ferocious if crossed. When we took her to the vet they’d have to have two people hold her down.

    @Aleta: I had a ladylike, sweet calico and a feisty tortie who was too bold for her own good, and I adored them both.

    Sigh. I appear to be drawn to feisty, independent-minded female companion animals, with all the joys and heartbreaks that that combination entails.

    “They’re fiery,” said Front Street animal-shelter manager Gina Knepp. 
    I swear to dog, that Gina Knepp is One Awesome Woman!!!! She runs Sacramento’s Front Street Animal Shelter and has turned around a kill shelter to an almost no-kill. She has found ways to improve the lives of shelter animals, use a every form of social media, has air-lifted planes full of Chihuahuas and other over represented breeds to states where they’re few, far between and immediately adopted.
    If every town had a Gina Knepp, blegs would be few and far between.
    I met Chet at Front Street, it was love at first site.
    Those Tories look lovely and sassy, I hope they find their forever homes today.
