The only thing on mine schedule for today is avoiding hoomom. I have a mat that she is determined to cut out of mine fabulous floof. Already tried the ol' snatch me up while I sleep. Failed 😸 Hope you all are doing ok with the cold & snow. Sending warm hugs 🩷

I see that Iranians are getting acquainted with the segment of the western left that believes that only massacres committed by US allies are bad.
The way they're gaslighting victims while criticizing those who were doing the same elsewhere...Exactly the same as their right-winger counterparts.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

I was an extra in the Cab Calloway Minnie the Moocher scene. They were recording sound that day, so 3000 of us in the Hollywood Palladium clapped and cheered in complete silence all day. Dan and John showed up afterwards for an impromptu performance. Fun time and got paid ~$50.

Born 24 January 1949, actor John Belushi. He starred with Dan Ackroyd in the cult classic "The Blues Brothers" (1980). The story is a tale of redemption for paroled convicts Jake and Elwood who set out on a mission from God to save the orphanage where they were raised. #BluesBrothers #JohnBelushi

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I've scanned yet another old photo album from my enormous collection.
This time a WW2 Lufwaffe album!
Lots of mystery, plenty of detective work to do, so go have a look and see if you can help us learn more about what the photos show us:

The Luftwaffe in France album
I generally don’t buy military photo albums as I’m more interested in what daily life for common people was like but also because those usually are too expensive because so many collectors want them.

Surely the Miniapolis police know the identity of Mr Pretti's murderer and it must be possible for Chief of Police O'Hara to take along enough of his best men to go and arrest the killer and his accomplices.

They are desperate to have people riot so they can declare martial law. That so many people voted a second time for a man who is destroying the county and murdering citizens is beyond words.

I've just had a former US soldier calling me allsorts of arsehole for pointing out what is a well known fact that USA isn't really a military titan.
He reckoned he'd been in 5 wars.
A fantasist.
US has only been in 2 wars in his lifetime.
