Please note, I would ALSO like to be asleep on the green blanket. Or perhaps under it.
General Sherman (the gray beast) walked up to Admiral Farragut aka Davey aka Pirate Baby Cat (the sweet orange dumb dumb), occupying the much-coveted green fuzzy blanket, thwacked him HARD (usually Davey is the aggressor), then curled up and went to sleep. Davey still looks dazed and confused.

Current favorite low-histamine side dish (all measures approx.) two onions, one large sweet potato, two c. par-cooked brown rice, 2T. butter (or fat you tolerate), 1 c. stock, salt.

I also add 2/8-1/4 c. flax seed and psyllium fiber husk

Freezes beautifully!! Simple instructions in comment below

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Not only is this a bald-faced lie, it is also a pernicious and blatantly white nationalist one that reeks of “lebensraum.”

Stagnant WAGES have not kept up with housing costs. ZONING and NIMBYism prevent building high-density housing. INVESTORS snap-up homes for sale, crowding out homeowners
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Yes, and?

Expose them all. Shame them all. Make every last one of them a social and political pariah. PNG every motherfucking one.
"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

So what I’m hearing is he wants to send money to people to say, subsidize their purchase of private insurance off of a centralized marketplace? Genius! Why didn’t we do that earlier?!?!?
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

So this is about the fourth time I've seen a media outlet blare out that President Trump is doing Tariff Checks!!!!!!! before about 2-3 paragraphs in they finally mention "Oh yeah, by the way this would require congress and also they aren't collecting enough money to actually do this."
“.. The plan could cost the US government double what it's projected to take in for 2025 and undercut Trump's argument that tariff revenue will be used to help pay down federal debt.” 🤡
