63 years ago today, on October 22, 1962, JFK revealed to the world that the Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. To mark the anniversary, I'm going to share an excerpt from The Fate of the Americas where I offer a new "take" on this famous speech... (1/16) #History 🗃️

Have you seen this @furbabies.bsky.social ?

Interesting. It lasted 18 months.

DOJ WHISTLEBLOWER: “I wouldn’t be abiding by my oath if I stayed silent right now.” 🇺🇸 He says Trump’s DOJ wanted him to lie (about Kilmar being a gang member & terrorist, etc…) — and fired him when he wouldn’t.

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

I mowed the front & back lawns today. It still looks dry & patchy due to the drought, but at least it's all the same length. We got about 3/4" of rain yesterday. Not nearly enough. I was going to cut back the peony foliage but couldn't bring myself to do it. 🍂🍁

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

It's finally raining here. It's been several weeks since we had any rain. My lawn looks like straw but I couldnt see watering it when it was about to go dormant anyway. 🌧⛈️💧 #Rain

A new study by Consumer Reports, published on Oct. 14, 2025, claims that some such protein products contain dangerously high levels of lead, as well as other heavy metals such as cadmium and arsenic. A pharmacologist explains the data. (via @us.theconversation.com) https://to.pbs.org/4ovBeXm

Find a sunny spot. Take a nap. Meeps loves this time of year when the sun streams in the south facing bedroom window and gives her a warm sunny spot. Especially when her staff won't turn on the heat yet. #Cats #CatSky

I made Italian sausage, lentil & zucchini soup last night. I used beef stock & I think it overwhelmed the Italian sausage. Next time, I'll try chicken stock. It was okay. It's too bad I made enough to feed a small army. I gave 2 neighbors a quart each.

Animals are so much better than humans‼️

Climbing roses from June for #RoseWednesday.

There's a freeze forecasted for overnight. I had tomatoes on the vines that weren't ripened yet. So I picked them all just now. It's the most I've had at one time all season. They are hanging out on windowsills. 🤞🌱

Lime curd ice cream? Yes, please!

Such a cute idea!

I still have blooms on phlox and my potted dahlia. It's so lovely to see a bit of color still holding on. #Flowers #BloomScrolling

I got my flu shot and covid boosters this morning. Scheduled for pneumonia shot in 2 weeks.

Why does my neighborhood's ice cream truck and driver look like something out of a Stephen King novel? It's beat up, battered, bondoed, badly painted, and bizarre. I've never actually seen neighborhood kids buy anything from it. Only the guys that live in the party house a few doors down. 🎃🤔

She was a pure angel here on earth she’s going to be missed 🙏🏼🤍😔

My beautiful OC kitty girl. Taken on this day in 2017. I lost her to FELV last year. Her sister and I miss her every day. 🌈 ❤️ #Cats #Catsky

And there goes YouTube bending the knee. 😡🤬

I saw a new doctor today. The packet of paperwork that I filled out contained a consent form for AI to be used in history taking, diagnosis, and treatment. I declined. 🤔😕

People are completely bonkers.

It's always a grift with this regime.

Check your local ABC affiliate station to see who owns them. The Detroit ABC affiliate is owned by Scripps Broadcasting.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

The president of the United States is a fucking moron.

I'm trying to read Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence" for my book club this Wednesday. I find Archer to be an insufferable fool. It's really hard to enter his thoughts without being equally annoyed and enraged. I'm only 1/4 through and want to throw him off the roof of a NY brownstone. 📖 📚
