BTW the EASIEST way to convince a pet-owner the NHS shouldn't be privatised is to ask them how much their last vet bill cost.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

Lots of calls for support today, but this is one that makes a difference!

I have learned today that Makuro has his own holiday. He would like to know why I did not know and do not celebrate him everyday. Happy National Black Cat Day. #nationalblackcatday #void #proofofcat

Turning the Monuments and the Whitehouse into a casino. You know how his ownership of casinos worked out before right?

Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children

football season reminder that paying your sewer bill is the best bet you can make.

The National Guard deployment does not only undermine public safety. It also hurts DC's economy — depressing vital industries like restaurants, hotels, and tourism. And critically, it infringes on DC's sovereign authority and right to self-governance under the Home Rule Act.

Hurray! We are almost catching up our train tech to was Japan had in 1965. Total BS news because we are NOT investing in the real issue -- tracks, tunnels, and infrastructure that is mostly from the 1800 and early 1900s AND those old tracks are shared with traffic that has the top speed of a horse.

Was too busy being a resident of a manufactured political emergency-occupied city and missed this 110% true news piece on @mcsweeneys.net www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/cri...

beginning to think this is not really about stopping sandwich crime www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The Administration's actions are brazenly unlawful. They go well beyond the bounds of the President's limited authority and instead seek a hostile takeover of MPD. They infringe on the District's right to self-governance and put the safety of DC residents and visitors at risk.

We are not trivialising LLMs. Copyright theft is not trivial. Environmental damage is not trivial. Unreliability is not trivial. Risk to human cognition is not trivial. Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

I'm excited to support Habitat 2, an optimistic SFF short story collection with *gorgeous* art, on Kickstarter! I see more people looking for(& creating)these stories every day and it gives me hope. #climatesky #booksky #greensky #solarpunk @habitatspress.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sam...

The better you are at a thing, the more "AI" will be a drag on your time, because it's operating at a lower level of skill than you are, and you have to fix what it does, rather than just do what you already know how to do.

Here we go! Who is ready for a new yokozuna! And Ukraine is near the top of the house too! #sumo

OMG, how do we make this amazing art part of the next @skypeascientist.bsky.social and pollinator gardens fundraiser?!

On difficult days, we all seek shelter. This #Caturday, Makuro seeks the solace of an emotional support flipflop from his well work delivery box. Until SOMEONE will finally play with him. #ProofOfCat

After the latest round of grading papers, I wrote about AI, ChatGPT, the death of the student essay, and what it means for the future of human cognition.

@pkrugman.bsky.social is so so right! International students are vital to the US education system. Denying and adding hoops to their participation damages the United States. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/america-tu...

I hope you are taking Paprika's advice this holiday weekend. #ProofOfCat #caturday

Someone please hit the snooze button on Monday. #cats #Monday

Paprika feels the same way about Monday mornings that most of us do. Hopefully your week turns out like hers likely will... Full of stitches, naps, and treats. #catsofbluesky #cats

Paprika reminding us we can all fly in our dreams. Go ahead, take flight with a #Caturday nap. #ProofofCat

Sod it. I haven't done a Columbothon in a while. Reply with: - A screengrab of a donation of goods/cash (ANY amount) to PAWS - Name of an actor of your choice. I will give you a fake plot summary of a Columbo episode in which they are the murderer. Reskeet to spread the word. Kitties need food.

Makuro heard they were casting the next James Bond movie and is quite sure the misunderstood villain should be a cat. #ProofofCat

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

I'm not sure if this is #ProofofCat or a cat that has perfected his surprise face to the point no jury in the Meowers Court will convict him of breaking that toy. #Caturday drama.

The heart and soul needs replenishment sometimes. #ZaoRamen #ramen

When you are enjoying a wonderful #caturday nap fully stretched out in a cat bed built for one and your little brother invites himself to cuddles.
