i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

This is one reason that my definition of extremism doesn't include hate for out-groups, only the belief that out-groups must be harmed. You don't have to waste time on motive. If they believe an out-group must be harmed for the in-group's success or survival, that's enough to make the call.

Sorry, Mama Cathy, I am just gonna leave this one to you. Dunno what you're asking exactly, but I'm busy petting the kittens that aren't melted.

Just looking through pics of the summer and thought people might like seeing how curious Felix (the big one) is about one of my silly boys (the unamused one). This happened a lot last summer and never ceased to be amusing.

I don’t know if this will help any of my other neurodivergent peeps, but you know what I’m doing a lot of now? Logic puzzles. The little grids with “Bob has brown hair and killed either the dragon or the kraken, but not on Tuesday” clues. Having to focus so intently shuts up the anxiety for a bit.

Cats are liquid and graceful and fluffy, but they can also manage to jump down from something with the sound of an elephant's stomp, or run around the house like a herd of bulls. Can anyone explain this?

Warning: Cats are liquid, so they might melt into couches and armchairs.

There's some kind of irony in this artistic display from King County Metro.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

This paper bag is making strange noises and moving around. I am considering being concerned about that.

This really well written guide by Defend 612 explains what’s going on. They’ve really developed this to. drive.proton.me/urls/NQBEQE8...

Weaving driving home at night at 2 am on New Year’s Eve may create a reasonable suspicion a driver is DUI and justify a stop to confirm that belief. It would not justify the arrest.

The only one to have two songs written about it by Woody Guthrie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sH6...

Uh. Hi?

A: I need more hands to pet everyone. B: We need more chairs now apparently, since we're never getting this one back.

Which brings us around to my ultimate thesis, which is that the Roman Republic conquered the entire world it knew...because of woke.

Meet Barney, short for Barnacle. This is the second time I've seen him just plaster himself on Dad like this, but I have a feeling it isn't his second time. When finding him a new human just for him, I'll have to make sure they're ok with this form of hours-long cuddle.

and i've been hoping to eat a chili pepper that will do this to me ever since

Happy New Year, everyone. ☺️ Photo from my collection, no date/info.

All people means ALL people. (Anybody who says different and wants to make exceptions to that ALL people is invited to take that up with the angel of the Lord, but just be warned the response you'll get won't start with "Fear not.")

Where there is a will, there is space in the box for another kitten.

MOMMY!!!! More silly babies

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Just looking through old pictures. Cute baby.

FYI - there's a viciously antisemitic hydrogen advocacy account here that seems to be followed by a fair few mutuals. Direct link to profile below. Block / add to block lists etc bsky.app/profile/dani... Twitter posts: x.com/search?q=fro...

Welcome to National Cat Herder's Day. This is Bub. He'd like to see you try.

Do I want to know what plans I just interrupted?

Boxes don't have to be open for cats to like them.

Is this what tennis players feel like?

Why you not petting? What this square stopping the cuddles?

I love them all, but they sometimes be mean and nibbly. I didn't agree to pet his teeth too.

99% of complaints about things being better in the past boil down to "you miss not having adult responsibilities". The other 1% is that everything is manufactured to break after two years now.

If you haven't already heard @nogodsnomayors.com , there is some controversy about Zohran Mamdani's impending mayorship. Specifically, whether he's the 111th or 112th Mayor of New York. gothamist.com/news/zohran-...

You ever get a crick in your neck just from looking at a sleeping kitten?

This stage of kitten growth is what we call Tiny Terrors, because they have left their little nest and started exploring, and the other four-legged family members start climbing to avoid them.

On this day of giving thanks, let us remember to thank our furry friends for being so awesome and photogenic.

Paint me like one of your French girls?

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.

Apparently my brother can't go 24 hours without more kitten pictures, so here I am with another.

NOW UPDATED: @meganpiont.bsky.social's "How to report ICE" zine includes the ✨new ICE hotline number for NYC✨ For those new to this type of guide: "SALUTE" is an acronym to help us remember what steps to take.

Silly baby...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
