Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

The tree is down and the ornaments are packed and so I can now confirm that Fiona (our new rescue kitty) left the tree, and other holiday decorations, completely undisturbed. She's a VERY good girl.

Our rescue cat first holiday season is going well. She didn't tear up the house when we left her alone for two days over Thanksgiving and she photogenically lays under our tree, but shows no interest in cat/tree mayhem.

Allow me to interrupt your doomscrolling with the joyous news of the arrival of our new cat, Fiona. She’s a seven-year-old, basketball-shaped rescue in need of love and a diet. She’s currently settling in, but I promise way too many pictures will be coming soon. #Caturday

Today was the first day I saw my book "The Every Computer Performance Book" in the stacks of our local library. My parents would be proud.

It also occurred to me that Cindy Lou Who was no more than two. So if you’re her ‘boo’ doesn’t that make you a pedophile? Sorry for all the negativity. I’m rooting for you to find your tribe.

Mongo do what he do, but Mongo wants to attract the attention of strangers with interesting minds. In these violent/unkind times I'd suggest the choice of a more attractive, kind image.
