Happy Caturday.

☁️⭐️✨🌔✨⭐️☁️ Nite Nite, BlueSky We are contemplating the end of this day. I thought I was alone with my frayed nerves from the wildfires, but my neighbor pointed out how close to we are an urban-wildland interface. 😬 I walk outside and scan the ridge often. Must try to relax. 😌 #Caturday

🔥😱🔥

A quick video from an Utah resident deciding it’s time to evacuate! youtu.be/ZHUBydL031c?...

I love him 😍

Beached cat. Fritz out. #Caturday

😁

Spooky play tunnel Fritz (Noir) #CatSky #Caturday

Agree With Robert De Niro.......👍🏼

I’m so happy to see Elizabeth Warren shine a light on the problem of “pet debt.” I know this problem painfully well from Fritz’s recent health scare and surgery. Fortunately his vet is an independent veterinarian. Watch this video and share it with your furriends.

@mikomayer.bsky.social Miko, I tried to DM you. How is Ponzu feeling? Any news on her tests? (Sorry to do this as a shoutout.)

WANT TO SNORFLE THE MURDERCAT (🔊 up)

Don’t start shit with people who are smarter than yourself.

The Reflecting Pool. The Kennedy Center. A $1.8B slush fund. The Epstein files. 4 scandals, 1 identical playbook: abuse power, make a mess, find a scapegoat. In this week's Publisher’s Note for @contrariannews.org, I break down how we dismantle it 👇

This is the worst season of wildfires we’ve ever seen. I would hope our governor would reach out to the federal government and adjacent states first help. We don’t have enough water to fight these.

#Caturday gratitude “Oh Meowmy, sanks ooo so much for giving me toob. I’m going to go lay in my sun square. K sanks bye.”

These fires grow so large so fast.

😭

Happy #Caturday, BlueSky furriends “Meowmy, did you say toob?” Oh NOM NOM NOM.

It's far worse than that. This article explains how it's not really a "shortage" of affordable housing but rather that the 1%, aka Trump's donor buddies, have manipulated housing and made it unaffordable in order to bleed the 90% dry and make themselves even more wealthy and powerful.

☁️☀️⛅️🌞⛅️☀️☁️ Good morning, BlueSky The air is pristine this morning — 34 AQI. The humidity is 49%. That’s quite a contrast to the ~8% humidity we’ve had the past few days. The high today will be 72°f (26°c), compared to 96° yesterday. And we’re expecting thunderstorms throughout the afternoon.

This is a good thing!! Yay!!

☁️⭐️✨🌔✨⭐️☁️ Nite Nite BlueSky Furr-iends I’m going to settle in and browse comedy 📺 🙊. I need to laugh. Faves for me are Nate Bargatze, Mike Burbiglia, Kathleen Madigan, Tom Papa or Jim Gaffigan. Everyone enjoy your weekends. What are y’all planning?

This is going to end up being like his Board of Peace. He doesn’t want freedom of religion. He wants to decide which religion will be the official religion.

This is funny, though it’s O’Leary who should be apologizing. Instead he did a fancy walk back. No, Mr. Wonderful, this is all Utah citizens telling you to shove your data center :: BLEEEEEEP :: !

This is close by. A low pressure system is blowing in. Our air quality hellscape is back. I just walked over to the convenience store to get sparkling water. Briefly outside for maybe 10 minutes. Big mistake. Oh well, we had a brief reprieve. Got me a Liquid Death. How apropos. I feel so edgy. ☠️

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

Phew!

Oh! 😧 Well congress isn’t messing around — bipartisan!

Someone (Bobby 🧠 🪱) doesn’t understand that political review is not scientifically peer reviewed.

THE WHOLE STATE OF UTAH is under a red flag fire danger warning! I’ve lived here my whole life and I’ve never seen the WHOLE state affected.

Some thoughts on the latest actions by Secretary Hegseth and the effects on a command I know well www.thebulwark.com/p/what-happe...

I love that there is a climate therapist. Grist’s “climate therapist” regularly takes questions from worried world citizens. grist.org/series/ask-a...

China is eating our lunch in almost everything. (no sound needed) China builds solar parks over reservoirs. This design improves the efficiency of the panels by keeping them cooler and lowers water loss from evaporation

Wow, the skies are alive with clouds!

The Atlantic on the removal of officers. Yes, we deserve answers. This, combined with dwindling munitions inventory, is making us less safe. 🎁 🔗

:: sigh :: Oh, JD. 🤦‍♀️ I’d be embarrassed for him if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s digging a big hole for this administration 🕳️ 🪏. Has anyone checked his back for a Nixon tramp stamp?

🍿🤭🥤 “Elon Musk has been ordered to answer questions in cases accusing him of defrauding swing-state voters with a promise of million-dollar giveaways ahead of the 2024 election.”

🍿🤭🥤

Interesting from The Atlantic this morning, recounting the usual chaos Trump stirs. But it devolved a bit when he met with Senate Republicans and he and Sen Cassidy got into a loud sparring match. 🤭 ⬇️

☁️☀️⛅️🌞⛅️☀️☁️ Good Morning, BlueSky 😁 The sky is beautiful this morning. It looks like the fire weather for south central Utah didn’t amount to much, although fires in Beaver continue to rage. It was a pleasant 78° this morning when I took these photos, and the air quality is in the green zone. 😌

Fritz, on his side of the bed. 😌 #OrangeCats

Vance, an admirer of Richard Nixon, says Watergate would be ‘a 12-hour news story’ today apnews.com/article/vanc... Read this. It’s absurd.

If they can do it there, we can do it anywhere. 👯👯‍♀️👯‍♂️

😢 Oh this is not good.

This is a big deal! Bravo 👏🏻 @katiephang.bsky.social !!
