Before laser pointers we had to just point at the wall with a stick. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby up on his hind legs with his forepaws braced against the outside of a brick building, seeming to sniff and investigate the tip of a small stick that a white person off camera is holding against the wall.

How much do I detest him? Don't ask.

Maybe they could try to find someone spitting gum onto the sidewalk and arrest them. Also, could be assigned to scrub all the black gum spots already there.

No, fools, the "period" isn't dangerous. Trump is dangerous. Just say it. He is mentally ill, whether it's senility or a psychological disorder flaming out of control. Just freaking say it! It's him!

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do.

Yeah, it's sad, but it had boiled down to reading weird animal stories and the recipes. I miss the recipes.

I want to agree, but as one intimate with Texans, assume that these everyday folks are ALSO MAGA. I know only a few of many Texans, from all age groups/walks of life, who aren't MAGA and who absolutely hate "libs" and Dems. It's been cultivated since the 1860s, when TX Ds jailed Rs, then became Rs.

The lighting on just about every movie or series I stream is horrible. Can't even make out most of, seemingly shot in the dark. Even room interiors are dark, with bright sunshine glimpsed through windows. I hate it!
