Are you fucking serious?
A "full investigation?"
We all saw it happen, "Mark." Stand up for Americans or resign. Enough of this waffling doublespeak bullshit.

He's also thankfully doing better, saw the vet earlier in the week and he apparently needed his anal glands expressed. Back to normal since then. Follow up in a few weeks.

Yeah he's been basically with me the whole time, very insistent on snuggles. He's eaten small amounts three times so far. So I'm hopeful it's nothing serious.

The good news is he literally just popped up about 15 minutes ago and went searching for food. He ate a half can of wet food, half a churu and drank a bunch of water.
Now we wait for the poopening.

We didn't see anything obvious in the house and I don't keep any toxic plants.
The vet said that it could be an obstruction, her other concern was his GGT was at the high end of normal which could indicate a gallbladder issue.
If he doesn't eat and poop by tomorrow morning he needs an ultrasound.

And for some lighter fare I give you Solo, on my desk defiling my keyboard a few weeks ago.
He just went from laying like a normal cat to suddenly rolling over and tea bagging my esc key.

Insane emotional whiplash.
I just need Solo to be okay. He's currently curled up with me.
Blood work was all fine and he is still disinterested in food though he tried some churu and liquid from canned food. He is at least drinking water and using the litter box.

Got to see Bloodywood last night, they opened for baby metal. Amazing show, great energy, wished they had a longer set.
Glanced at my phone between bands and saw we bombed Iran. 💀
I got home to Solo lethargic, he vomited a bunch and wouldn't eat. Immediately went to the emergency vet.

One of the most pernicious ideas of non scientists (politicians especially) is that scientific research can be turned on and off like a spigot without consequences.
“Why do we even plan on doing great things if, on a whim, we can just decide ‘nah’?” the senior space scientist says. “These things take a generation to build and enable multiple generations of scientists. They should not be blithely thrown away.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

I forced myself out of bed, I know its hard, and as much as I feel like I'm trying to slog through concrete I try to force myself to get moving, short walk, stretches, something, the dopamine hit helps.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

And I really hope my representatives, @beyer.house.gov, @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov are willing to do something about this, but talk plainly in a way people understand. He took money from the working class and gave it to parasitic billionaires.
