Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday Life is a story written in chapters, some heavy with sorrow, others light with joy, and many bursting with surprise. To know what comes next, you must be willing to turn the page Turn gently 🧡

Instead of boycotting SINCLAIR, how about getting them to sell their Asheville station to YOU, unknown very rich person, so we can have normal tv here? 🤔

New Jersey PBS to shut down next year following massive funding cuts

The rest of the world agrees. Don't forget the racism towards the Mayor of London, the massive disrespect towards the British Prime Minister (whose capital city is no longer under British law) and continuing enthusiastic support for genocide.

Yes, I bought "festive fall collars" for the cats. One on, two to go. 🍂🍁

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

I need this on a t-shirt

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Virginians are voting right now. When they see their ballot, they’re looking for the candidate who will put them first. I’m running for Governor to lower costs, strengthen our schools, and keep our communities safe. My focus is clear — it's Virginia.

Good options: *BBC News / BBC World Service *Deutsche Welle (DW News) *France 24 *Al Jazeera *The Associated Press (although U.S.-based...it operates globally and is widely regarded as a fact/reporting wire service more than opinion.) *Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty *CBC News (Canada)

@anguilline.bsky.social @restless1125.bsky.social For you friends! 🎶

Friends - I won't go on about this. But I now have new ⚕️ reason to doubt that I will outlive IT. This cannot be. I have cats to care for, people to tell that they are loved, and plants to plant! Please join me in asking the universe to speed up one timetable, and slow down another. 🌳🐈‍⬛🫂

Gameday Central: Florida State Seminoles vs. Kent State Golden Flashes — Previews, predictions, how to watch

☕ Good morning. Here's some facts: Trump has predictably been a complete and utter failure, because history tells us that is all this carnival-barking phony has ever been. He was a rotten kid, a rotten businessman, a rotten husband, a rotten father, and is a poor damn excuse of a man. My latest ...

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Here's a cool way to resist. “Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” she wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis. joycevance.substack.com/p/paper-clip...

This has been baffling to watch as a reporter outside the WH. Standing up for your counterparts from other orgs is just something to do as a good person and also important to stand up for our profession generally. We’ve learned that being a quisling will not save you or your org!

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

We’re like five minutes away from Jeopardy! being canceled because it had a category of the Civil War that featured correct answers

Pro Tip: Never elect a malignant narcissist president. Or your HOA.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

“Leader of the government tries to make it illegal to say anything bad about him or his government” is like the first and most obvious sign of dictatorship

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” FCC Chair Brendan Carr said hours before ABC's decision. “These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on [Jimmy] Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” https://to.pbs.org/4gw0f1L

Fascism has arrived in America: The seven tactics of an authoritarian. 😳👇

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Are you going to address @MSNBC 's firing of Matthew Dodd?

This is what will happen, if childhood vaccines are taken away.

There’s no legal mechanism under current U.S. law for a president to designate a domestic group as a terrorist organization. Also, Antifa (short for anti-fascist) is not a formal organization.

Worth remembering that a prominent Fox host encouraged the government to murder homeless people last week and is still employed.

KAINE: Were you instructed by the secretary of HHS to not speak to senators? MONAREZ: I was instructed to not speak directly to senators KAINE: So Senate-confirmed CDC director instructed not to speak to senators

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Just a reminder of what comedians are allowed to say without having the FCC threaten to pull a broadcast license

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Obama is referring to the fact that Charlie Kirk claimed Michelle Obama, Justice Jackson, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (RIP) and Joy Reid didn’t have brain processing power. For some reason, this ridiculously racist comment by Kirk isn’t being treated as, you know, ridiculously racist.

I think we all know how this really started

Kash Patel worked for the DOJ from 2012 to 2017 and was part of the DOJ's counterterrorism division in 2015 when the attack occurred. Impossible to believe he does not know who Dylan Roof is. bsky.app/profile/matt...

Very telling example of ideological blindspots. Dylan Roof not part of the extended MAGA cinematic universe for reasons you can figure out for yourself.
