DNC Vice Chair calls Chuck Schumer's shutdown deal a "mistake"

SNAP is ONLY for unprepared human food items. No hygiene products, cleaning products, or pet food. I've seen restaurants offer free pasta meals to recipients, but poor people don't need more pasta. They don't want your expired crap either. I saw this "offer" in a local bn group. Don't do this.

Dagnar makes the rules around here

This will for sure impress the Nobel Laureates

I didn't care as much about Tron, but when I heard about Masters of the Universe it was like WHY are we being hit over the head with Jared Leto AGAIN

I have no attachment to the white house, but maybe some disembodied lost soul does. Let the hauntings commence! 👻👤👣🗣

My sweet friend, enjoying a cuddle by the fire.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Better make a list of all the parades you didn't attend, in case you want to be mayor someday

Dagnar won't let me get back up if I sit down. Right after this, he curled up into a shrimp pose.

My premiums will quadruple. I just recently got the insurance. Only used it once for a routine exam, which they denied. If you don't have chronic issues, what's the fucking point

The wait is over, ghosts. October is here.

Scary story time! When I was 8 my Mom took me to my great-grandfather's open casket funeral. When I got up there with her, I looked everywhere but at the body. I felt an adult's hands angle my head directly towards it. I could see the body was empty. It looked like him, but wrong, he wasn't there...

Cats AND DnD!!!

Tony Todd's performances were a joy to watch, even if sometimes the show or film wasn't that great. I wanted to meet him at Horrorcon last year but he canceled for obvious reasons. I loved him as Cecrops on Xena, and Kurn on TNG. I haven't gotten around to Candyman but I'm sure it's fun!

A hopeful image, lovely to look at right about now.

A polite bigot is a bigot nonetheless. A true warrior knows that courteous words do not dilute the poison, but only serve to conceal it until it has spread. Civility in the service of hate deserves no polite response.

Happy Trekiversary to those who celebrate! 🖖 Sorry, but Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home was not as enjoyable as I recall. I would not recommend a rewatch if, like me, you have fond childhood memories watching this with family. Side note: I have been very happy with Strange New Worlds and do recommend.

20 years ago when it was 'just apartheid' people would pretend Israel had plausible deniability for violence with "security." This genocide is impossible to ignore unless you're actively trying to. People have come around but slowly, not enough, and too many lives have been lost.

Dagnar getting cuddles and scritches on this #caturday

Rfk Jr kinda reminds me of her

Dagnar is purring on the rug, paws tucked in approval of our quiet Sunday at home.

Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock is a fun, entertaining departure from previous TOS films. It begins when Kirk takes McCoy and crew to steal the Enterprise in order to unite Spock's katra with his body on Vulcan at Sarek's insistence. Pacing has improved with this iteration.

Dagnar supervises the changing of the sheets. He really gets in there to make sure I'm doing it right.

Dagnar has a sense for when I'm about to get up and do something productive, and at that moment will hop into my lap and start purring. He successfully redirects my energy to scritches and pets. What I was originally going to do will have to be remembered later.

Keep going in and coming out the other side 🌞

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan disapponted. It was better than The Motion Picture, they got going faster and there's some interesting battle strategy among tense conflicts. A spinoff of TOS episode "Space Seed," the crew accidentally stumbles into Khan and his followers after several brutal years.

Dagnar gets cuddles, one of his favorite pastimes. #Caturday

I was surprised during my timeline watch, seeing this hilariously unexpected episode totally kept me watching the series. If you only watch one episode of Enterprise, it should be this one.

Next was the first OS film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture. We putter through nostalgia and Kirk's boring midlife as he clashes with his younger colleague Decker. We get a gnarly transporter malfunction! McCoy's leisure suit is insane, but takes forever to assemble the crew and get underway.

“He only wants stuff that he shouldn’t have,” she said, adding that she was also unwilling to risk an online suggestion that Leo simply needed another playmate. apnews.com/article/cat-...

Dagnar is a sleepy snuggle shrimp #caturday

After TOS in the Star Trek timeline watch is the animated series. This show is exponentially better than TOS! Because it's a cartoon they made Kirk way less pervy and almost zero alien damsels. Checkov wasn't a favorite, but his absence was weird. Arex and M'Ress were cool though!

They have all the movies too, plus a Voyager channel, DS9 channel, and Enterprise channel.

More Caturday more cuddles! Our own little soot gremlin Dagnar demands it!

Bad news, America.

TOS- tbh I felt let down due to all the great Treks that followed. There were memorable episodes with bits that contributed to deeper dives later. Friendship, loyalty, weird science, and everyone contributing to solve problems shine through for TOS, and there's no denying its iconic structure.

Seahorses are extremely agile but terrible swimmers. They use their prehensile tail to hold onto various coral and vegetation. The most unique thing about them though is that the male gives birth to new young. #seahorse #sciart

Come on. Look at the transcript. What Mamdani "has said about the Jewish people" is that "antisemitism is a real issue in our city" & he wants to increase "funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800%" & "what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe." bsky.app/profile/kenk...

Caturday kitty snuggles with Dagnar! He's the sweetest friend. I'm thankful the cat distribution system led him here.

Strange New Worlds! I loved all the characters immediately, the return of the saturated colors was well done, as was the music and narration. Still great on second watch. Pike is an approachable and trustworthy captain. It's way more fun than the heaviness of Discovery, but shares an engaging pace.
