I know it’s a ridiculous thing to say, but I hate the new Bluesky logo.

Here’s our boy couple: Caesar (black cat) and Socks (other), both “strays.” They hang out together, groom each other, and often lay together. Occasionally, Socks mates with a female, because he’s still got his stuff. Caesar does not, as we had him (and his rotting tail) snipped last year.

It’s ridiculous that most of the people in US government positions come from families where it’s common to make at least a 3 figure salary for more than one generation. These are the people we have in charge of who gets what benefits with our tax dollars, yet they likely pay little to no taxes. 1/5

The Olympics will be fun again!

Wild! I look at this and think “It just looks like a big, puffy, ol’ ring of white clouds. Seems absolutely harmless.” But IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT!

Both of these things. I STG we should start making movie companies pay for our eye care. They spend $10+million on a movie but lighting costs $1/minute because it’s dark. Throw more lights up, make an actual set, and stop skimping for profit! And screens need to be close up still shots or captioned.

Gripping!

#Halloween Yall, are we doing the “potato as an option” thing this year? Or did I miss that window?

Dextromethorphan as an antidepressant? It’s… a cough suppressant. I know they find new uses for drugs often, but one that’s been in OTC medicines for decades? (from the new drug called Auvelity)

Joe liked it. Would you? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think it’s time for the US to draw up a New Declaration of Independence. “Our president is likely certifiably insane or at the very least he’s a serial rapist and killer narcissist and we can no longer stand by and allow him to continue his power hungry reign of terror. Therefore, we rebuke him.”

Problem solved.

I just donated $50 to the greater Boston food bank. if you match my donation to your local charity I will send you a personal picture of my son

Sure the US has warnings on literally everything from appliances to food and medicines, but leaves it up to us to use AI responsibly. I guess we have to sue them enough to make it worth fixing or getting rid of.

It’s gloomy, rainy, and cool outside this Sunday. Perfect time to try this “hygge” thing.

Today in cats

Halloween is coming.

I know some of y’all hate politics, but here is the reality: you are at the table or you are on the menu. You have a choice to decide where you end up.

This reminds me of the teachers I’ve seen who can’t spell simple words like “staples” or not know that when I said “pith” I wasn’t saying a “bad word” or not understanding that I was trying to be funny when I pretended to eat Elmer’s glue when a fellow student was watching. These are our “leaders”?!

It’s been over a month since I fell and scraped my shin. It’s healed up and seems permanently indented, but hurts like it’s bruised even though the bruising is gone as far as I can tell. Made an appointment with my nurse (no doctors ‘roun these parts). Is it just because I’m now a frail, old lady? 😆

Next hurricane should be named “Nope”.

I hadn’t watched the movie Sneakers even though I was at least 16 when it came out. I was busy. 😏 I’m watching it now and… WHY IS THIS LISTED EVERYWHERE AS A COMEDY?! There’s a few funny bits, but it’s more dramatic. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a suspicion the arresting sheriff has a grudge against this man. Or he REALLY liked Kirk and let his emotions get carried away. Both?

Older Spawn asked me to get her a bag of Flamin Hot #Cheetos. Me: “Are you sure? I don’t recall you ever asking for them before.” She was absolutely sure. I got them. She ate one. Her: “THESE AREN’T THE ONES! THESE ARE SUPER HOT!” After a quick search… what she wanted was Cheddar Jalapeño Cheetos. 🤣

Mule… the animal, the drink, or the, um, “job”? 😬

Remember that some people don’t want your help. Also, some people who ask for help don’t want it. What they actually want is one or more of these things: •Sympathy •Money •Someone to fix the problem for them •Hug •Someone to listen to them vent •A place to decompress •Something they can never have

Well, so far Texas seems lucky to only have radar indicated tornadoes, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t any. Hopefully not.🤞

TIL: there are filters for percolators (my dad gave up on brew coffee makers and got a percolator)

It’s almost #Caturday!

Greasy foods day tomorrow!

Sheesh! Poor kids.

#Cat Suggestion: If your cat(s) seems bored with their toys, try switching it up. Mine have a good, varied selection and I occasionally put up a few, bring a few different ones out, then rearrange their scratch post, box, scratch mat, tunnel, etc. around the room. Suddenly they take interest again.

“Trick or Treat Day” is on the wrong day… in my opinion. 🤔

Happy #NationalFoodDay to those of you who eat.

If you need some giggles, this is a good place to get a few:

"Mr President, if people are suffering and the shutdown is so awful, why doesn't Sen Thune do the 'nuclear option' and pass the CR WITHOUT Democratic help? Problem SOLVED!" THERE'S the question the White House press pool NEEDS to ask!

Great Advice: Telling someone they look an awful lot like Stephen King is sometimes okay. Telling that to a woman is likely a bad idea. Side note: I think he looks quite kind, though. Bear huggable, even. Like Mandy Patinkin. 😊

I know many people in the US are saying “OMG it’s so freaking cold! I hate it!” and I’m like…
