Still nomadic so no familiars currently, but meet Mini and the sole kitten she had in her ~14 years of life. To my knowledge, Kittin still acts as in-house cat for a long-term care facility.

Guess you're never too old to attend a punk/metal fundraiser show. 🙏

(I'll do the alt text later, hopefully!)
Oh my various Gods 😓😓

Hope everyone's ok. 🙏🙏
NEW VIDEO: Skyscraper under construction collapses as massive earthquake hits Bangkok. No word on casualties
Oh man, I'm not fond of AI voices, but having AI Attenborough narrate this is just *chef's kiss* 😂
C'est à peine mieux formulé qu'une dérive habituelle de Duhaime, donc je dirais PSPP.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
Sanna Marin was also treated very badly because she dared to fucking dance and have a drink with friends in private.

Fuck that noise.
Just a quick note, it's weirdly sexist to think women can't be as shitty as men. Think Thatcher.

That said, I fully welcome a gynocracy.
I still remember seeing footage of bulldozers tearing down the walls around Gaza on Oct. 7. That can only happen if you have tens of thousands of kW of shitty psytrance music masking the destruction.
Side note on point 2. I spend my summers helping organize music shows and festivals.

Were one to happen mere clicks from a place like Gaza, I'd actively boycott or even sabotage said festival.

Nuclear nonproliferation is dead. No nation will ever, ever give up its nukes again.

This is the worst outcome of America's capitulation to Russia, and nobody is reporting on it.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.
Hopefully he's reconsidering his retirement.
By cutting off his own. Then again, he did that 10 years ago already.
They can be, yeah. Even to Canadian citizens.

Then again, I've encountered enough border officers across the world to realize it's a pretty common trait.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
Was surprised to learn getting rid of the monarchy would require ALL provinces to sign off on it, rather than the normal 7/50 for constitutional amendments.

But holy crap do I wish we would.
Love Vietnam (i.e the Vietnamese people), spent months of my life there... But yeah, I hold no delusions about their government.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?
Mettre l'emphase sur une potentielle dissension au sein de la droite américaine?
