Pedant alert:
By all rights it ought to be Fromage de Chatte.
Moving on elsewhere , someone must have already come up with an amusing ChatGPT image.

Anne, lots of people I follow on the bird site have been sounding the alarm about “Nature is Amazing” account. According to them, this account and others are Musk and Musk adjacent created sites that supposed lure people in with cute nature vids but ultimately push RW prop. The tell? Number of followers vs number followed. So they say. Just passing this along.

Also recalling an ancient joke.
Jesus on the golf course, tees off. (Make up your own version of who else constitutes the foursome.)
Slices the shot. Ball disappears into the greenery, then thunk, bounces off a tree, propelled clear across the fairway.
Another thunk and it sails onto the green, rolls to the edge of the cup, teeters, and drops in.
Jesus raises his face to the sky, exclaiming “Father, please, I’d rather do it myself!”

I remember a variant punchline:
“Who does he think he is, Jesus Christ?”
“He is Jesus Christ. His problem is, he thinks he’s Sam Snead.”

Good night for progressives in the Dem primaries here. In Allegheny County, Sarah Innamorato has won the nomination for county executive, a young (35 yo) state rep endorsed by Mayor Gainey and US Rep Summer Lee. If she wins the general, she’ll be the first female and youngest County Executive ever. Also, Matt Dugan beat Steve Zappala, who has been DA for something like 26 years. Dugan is the former head public defender for the county. And in my own county, Beaver County, a former student of mine, won a nomination for our county commission. If he wins the general, he’ll be the first Black county commissioner here. He also is young (mid-30s) and progressive.

@geg6: I’m curious: what do you think of Mayor Gainey and his work thus far?

@Low Key Swagger: Leave it to that POS to ruin everything. I really enjoyed those videos.

Well, I don’t live in the city, so I can’t really say much other than my own impressions. He has mostly kept the base happy. They are cautiously optimistic about the new police chief. He shows up at all the big events and seems to have the politicking thing down. The biggest sport in Pittsburgh, after Steelers football, is complaining about snow removal and, after a disaster for the city’s snow removal during and after a major snowfall right after he was inaugurated, he seems to be getting some grudging respect for his efforts in that area ever since. I like him myself. He seems genial and so much a part of the African American community here. You can especially sense his joy at those events. He’s been good on LGBTQ issues and has said he will welcome any asylum seekers who may get shipped here by the horrible assholes in FL and TX and has made preparations in conjunction with Pittsburgh’s Latino community. He gets himself to most gun violence scenes and memorials for victims and is properly outraged by gun culture.
From thirty-some miles away, he seems pretty good and fairly popular with the base.

I loved the cat watching the cats walking. From the replies on the actual post, I learned that the walking cats are in a Studio Ghibli movie The Cat Returns, which I promptly bought on Amazon. Thanks for that addition to the Relaxing and Beautiful section of my video library.

@geg6: Thank you for the response, from an observer near by. I hope Pittsburgh prospers during Mayor Gainey’s tenure.

You might want to reconsider following NatureIsAmazing on Twitter. Before yesterday it had one follower – Elon Musk. Today it has 3 and one is the new CEO. I read somewhere that that account is Elon’s. I unfollowed.
