For Caturday, this cat is from the same Roman cat colony as the cat I posted last week. I'm pretty sure that they're related.

How long before Elon Musk persuades a large number of Filipino contract workers to legally change their names to Full Self, so he can finally deliver his promised Full Self Driving product?
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines
During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

This is it. The wendigo was a story told as a warning against the unchecked greed that turns men into monsters & destroys them & everyone around them.
But our modern wendigos have publicists & a media eager to tell us that being a wendigo is the best thing possible. That wasn't in the stories.

Billionaires can't be happy with their money because it is impossible to become a billionaire without being a gaping sucking void of desperate ravenous mindless hunger.
The only way to become a billionaire is by transforming yourself into a wendigo.

I'm not a fan of John Lydon, but I still laughed at the story of angry police swarming the boat he was on after the Sex Pistols' infamous river cruise, truncheons in hand, shouting "Which one's Johnny Rotten?"
Lydon just pointed at Richard Branson & said "He is", then fled the scene.

In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!”

The only prominent figure from Liz Truss's time in office that won't ultimately defect to Reform is the lettuce.
It's always been a member of the Greens.

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.
