I said good bye to Catsby yesterday. His health had been on the decline recently and it was time. I don’t know much about his life before I brought him inside from my building’s parking lot, but I made sure he was safe and loved in the six years he was with me. I’ll miss him every day.

Earlier today the LA Times had AI-generated counterpoints to a column from @gustavoarellano.bsky.social. His piece argued that Anaheim, the city he grew up in, should not forget its KKK past. The AI "well, actually"-ed the KKK. It has since been taken off the piece. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Over the next four years, PolitiFact will periodically evaluate the new administration’s progress on Trump’s 2024 campaign promises, just as we did with Barack Obama, Trump during his first term, and Joe Biden. www.politifact.com/article/2025...

Happy to say that I’m joining PolitiFact full time next year as a digital research analyst. I’ll still be fact checking, as well as looking into news and misinformation trends. Grateful for the opportunity and ready to hit the ground running in 2025.

Spent more time than I care to admit making this dumb thing of my cat.

Still searching for that Goldilocks social media platform where I can share what I bought during the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale without harsh judgment

Given the “pspspspsps”: I sleep Lox bagel sandwich: real shit?

The sea gives, and the sea takes. Water connects all things. Life to death. Darkness to light.

How can you not be romantic about putting souvenir baseball helmets on a cat?

It’s a good day for baseball and eating decadent stadium food that I’ll regret later.

Repostin' some oldies

Some prime Catsby content that I know you’ve all been craving.

Latest Catsby pic just dropped.

Breaking this baby in by sharing a Bluesky Exclusive™ image of my cat in his cardboard box.
