I have too many cat pictures and videos. I am trying to pick a few to post in different places, but I'm overwhelmed.

All I want for xmas is for our neighbours South of the border -especially senior ranks in the military, governments, and courts- to please take a deep breath, and work towards stability for yourselves and all of us around the world.

Typical Dionne/Emory interaction with the laundry basket. Kitties are funny.

For those about to do your holiday grocery shopping, please consider leaving animals off your shopping list. The breeding, exploitation, and slaughter of animals for food is brutal and wasteful. We can do better, and we can all be a small part of the solution.

Holy cow. Sarah Nurse is still injured. She's skating now, but if she's not game ready soon, the Goldeneyes might not recover in a short season. #pwhl

I just watched a cute video of a farmer singing to two cute calves. I smiled for a moment, then checked the profile. It was not a sanctuary. It was a meat and dairy farm. Humanity is so fundamentally messed up, I don't even know what to say.

Dionne is goofy.

Memories from what feels like a lifetime ago. I wish I could freeze time.

Here's an interesting look into the people who drove the anti-CFIA narratives with regards to the ostrich farm. The CFIA has earned plenty of criticism, of course, but it's just so interesting the types of people who suddenly turned into animal rights activists...

Emory (I call him "Emo" in the video) getting ready for bed. It's like a 6 second video well worth turning the audio on for.

For those who consume dairy, what is your understanding why someone like me has a strong ethical objection to supporting the production of dairy?

Night kitties

Emerance Maschmeyer's save deserves its own post. @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social @thepwhl.com

I know most people don't want to think of this, but the justifications for firing multiple missiles at suspected drug traffickers are getting almost as complicated as justifications for breeding, exploiting, or slaughtering animals.

I've lost my grasp of what a "reasonable person" is. And I think the majority of people may feel the same way, for wildly different reasons. Is this just my brain telling me that I'm losing grasp of reality? If it's not just me, don't we have a serious, fundamental problem with the justice system?

Will posting cat videos make the world a little brighter?

These two kitties taught me how wonderful it is to care for companion animals in need of a home. I will never forget them.

Maybe the PWHL was actually too stingy with the expansion teams, who were highly competitive against each other, but suffered decisive losses in their first games against the original six. The Vancouver Goldeneyes play New York in less than an hour. I'm guessing this post is about to look silly.

I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get up at all this morning, but then I saw these two sitting in the sun.

The F-35 and Gripen (E/F) both have the following capabilities: - sensor fusion - interoperability (with each other and with other NATO stuff) - electronic warfare - 9g turns This doesn't mean they are equal. I'm just saying that these things are not exclusive to one or the other.

I would love to know how many of the people ready to take down the Canadian government after the ostrich cull are going to eat a turkey for US Thanksgiving...

What's it like to be good at something?

I had the sads today, so I took an afternoon nap. These two decided to join me and snuggle on top of my foot...and just stayed for hours. Their supper is almost 2 hours late! Mine too!

I have a little secret for all of the out-of-town viewers of last night's Vancouver Goldeneyes' victory over the Seattle Torrent: The Pacific Coliseum is not in downtown Vancouver. The TV lies! @thepwhl.com @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social @pwhltorrent.bsky.social @avapwhl.bsky.social

Anyone who loves Star Trek (particularly Lower Decks) should watch this. The quiz game part itself was great, but I particularly enjoyed the back and forth between superfans, and Jean, a Lower Decks storyboard artist.

It's fun to take care of animals, follow some sportsball/sportspuck...but damn life, world etc...why does everything else, both big and small, have to be so awful?

Sportsnet now issuing a warning for coarse language🤣 #BlueJays #WorldSeries #WantItAll

LOL!

This is what I'm talkin' about, @bluejayswatcher.bsky.social

I'm not sure if this is a thing yet, but here I am in my "Antifa uniform" in 2015, with HMCS ALGONQUIN, whose namesake was the "point on the end of the spear" of the Allied fleet on D-Day. So, yeah, "Antifa" has ships and guns I guess.

This question deserves to be on Facebook, or maybe from TV talking heads. Yet here it is in the BC Legislature.

Today in QP in the BC Legislature, One BC used their one wild and precious question to ask the government do "denounce Antifa". What a world we're living in.

Gausman and his "playoff beard" strike again. @bluejays.com @sportsnetpr.bsky.social [Captions added to video capture by @bluejayhunter.com ]

Not @notmapleleafs.bsky.social catching strays from @sportsnetpr.bsky.social in response to @bluejays.com (game 1 winner) Kevin Gausman's playoff beard.

The plural of Tuvix is Tuvix, unless they're blended into a pie, in which case it's Tuviche.

Opened @nebula.tv . Saw @jessiegender.bsky.social dropped a video all about Ferengi. Immediately started playing. Oh, it's 4 hours 42 minutes haha. Ok...added to "watch later." Should be getting started on it later tonight anyway!

😅😅😅😅😅😬😬😬

I remember that part in "V for Vendetta" when the comedian continues to air goofy (and maybe tasteless) political humour...and is promptly "disappeared." I remember being grateful that nothing remotely like that could ever happen again. 😬 So...are the "free speech absolutists" coming to help?

Maru, possibly the first Internet Cat, has passed away.

I've never seen an egg barn that didn't look like a horror show, but the Sobeys investigation has revealed some of the worst.

Great news. Funny headline. Can you really call them "livestock" after they are rescued? www.aldergrovestar.com/community/al...

Various pictures of some of the kitties and doggos.

Oof

Maybe I adopted these two sweethearts from @abbycatdaddy.bsky.social
