sometimes I wonder if the cats appreciate the good scents even tho they just eat meat.
I know they smell several times better than humans can.

The Red Cross didn’t do shit for the Jewish people during the Shoah, either. Fuck the Red Cross. It only helps gentiles.

my brother has run Chicago as his marathon for decades. He is in his late 50s now, and started running cross country in high school. He was pretty competitive for his age group for most of his running years. Today was hard, he finished in the 700s for his age group.
I am proud of him still.

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon!

I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

Hamas will never acknowledge how much destruction they could have avoided by not inciting terrorism to begin with, and immediately returning all hostages.

That the running discourse continuously removes all agency from Hamas is astounding.

Vought is at war with large swaths of the population, with the very idea of a society defined by democratic pluralism. If you have correctly identified that this guy is now in a really powerful position, that people like him are in control of the government, how is that not the main story?

It is October 2025, the assault on what is left of American democracy is escalating, and one of the New York Times’ most influential formats insists on presenting one of the Trumpist regime’s leaders as a devout “small government” conservative with a great work ethic.

About a week ago, the New York Times’ “The Daily” podcast portrayed Russell Vought as a devout Christian, a true “small government” conservative who loves the free market, and a man with a great work ethic. A remarkable combination of credulousness and deliberate whitewashing.

Among many others at the CDC, the Trump regime laid off the staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

“The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.”

I was alive but I was an infant, and also did not know this. I still think the feedback is reasonable for the time we are in.

why are republicans convinced American cities are hellholes? Cities they represent. Cities that drive entire economies. Cities that before this country went all xenophobic facist, were the envy or delight of tourists from all over the world?

Sometimes I really want to kick them in the shins

not sure this is just (maybe they've said something explicit?) we have long lived under the "within 100 miles of a border" nonsense. which incidentally describes the majority of the US population.
