📰 My kitty celebrated #Caturday by climbing up into the shelves with old newspaper clippings, and finding the one clipping with a cat on it (White House cat Socks) to chew up.

cc: @lilacslope.bsky.social
A chewed-up old newspaper clipping from 1993, when Socks became the official White House cat. It's a photo depicting a bunch of photojournalists crowding around a disinterested Socks to take photos. Part of the photo caption has been chewed up, but it reads, "Photojournalists stalk the Clintons' cat."

I confess, I keep getting Sandler vibes along with the Mostel vibes. It's silly.

♡ Alas, Liba Falafel is gone, but tattoos are forever, right? (Another #TwitpicTuesday rescue.)

I was today years old when I found out that Lay's in China are packaged in cardboard tubes like Pringles, and come in cucumber and seaweed flavors.

I've had actual Pringles in China, and they have many more interesting flavors than we get in the United States.
Lay's Stax imported from China, in cucumber and seaweed (nori) flavors. They are in cardboard tubes that resemble Pringles cans.

♀ Bonus #TwitpicTuesday photo for those of you who find it puzzling when the supposedly-liberal media promotes politically activist women who tell other women to stay home and submit to the wills of their husbands, because of God.

Just as political activist Phyllis Schlafly claimed she did.
Book cover of Phyllis Schlafly's _A_Choice_Not_An_Echo_. With heavy GOP funding and forced-down-your-throat promotion, free copies of this book were distributed to college students to prop up a claim that it was a best-seller.

• So 12 years ago it was Sukkot but this year the same day is Rosh Hashanah. My #TwitpicTuesday rescue today is the #PediSukkah from 12 years ago, but today it's a "Mitzvah Bike" for more all-purpose use. Shana Tova!

As a black man, I think ‘crossing the aisle’ is great.
Screenshot from Twitter: Charlie Kirk forgot to log into his "Black" sockpuppet profile to praise himself. From his @charliekirk11 account he posted, "As a black man[,] I think Charlie Kirk is great." Then he followed up, intentionally as @charliekirk11 this time, "Haha thank you. I bet all the liberals will speak over you and call you racist. You're truly great!"

🕵️ We've got our best inspector on the case!
Columbo talking to Trump: "Just one more thing. You said the Epstein files were a Democratic hoax -- cooked up by Obama, Hillary, and Biden. But here's the part I can't figure out: you were a confidential FBI informant on the Epstein case. So tell me, how exactly did the Democrats get you to spy on a hoax?"

⚥ Today's #Caturday image is an old-school meme rescued from Twitpic. "Privilege-Denying Dude" objected to being the face of privilege-denial, so I stuck Business Cat on top.

There was an #IDontNeedFeminismBecause meme going on around the same time, so I snuck that into there, as well.

☞ That said, I am amused that CBS News referred to them as "Crack Barrel" (a typo since corrected). The so-called legacy media does seem to have a cracklike addiction to boosting stupid right-wing distraction nonsense.
"Conservative commentators took issue with the rebrand, with right-wing podcaster Matt Walsh calling it 'more generic' on social media. Marketing experts also criticized the company's overhaul. Bolt Health founder Kevin Dahlstrom, who has served as a chief marketing officer at several companies in the financial industry, described Crack Barrel's rebrand as a 'fiasco.'"

☞ The Cracker Barrel logo nontroversy is yet another distraction from Trump being in the Epstein files.
The earlier Cracker Barrel logo, with the text changed to "Release the Files."

Love the Binky profile pic.

Speaking of _Simpsons_ quotes, I was also called kinda gay as a child because I chased girls and tried to kiss them.
Jimbo, one of the bullies in _The_Simpsons_, chastising another bully named Nelson, with a classic childhood doublethink sentiment of budding toxic masculinity: "You kissed a girl! That is so gay!"

Response from @MikeDrucker to this tweet: We're not "losing" shit. We broke it intentionally. This wasn't a solar flare that knocked out our satellites. This was us taking a machete to an advanced weather system because some dumbfucks thought it was going to own the libs rather drown their families

Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is a screenshot, from back when websites looked like this.

Also, it gets worse, as in No Predictions: flic.kr/p/8kU3EH
Screenshot of a NextBus prediction for the "O" bus during a strike in 2010. Announcement: "Service affected by labor unrest. Visit actransit.org for more info." Prediction is that the bus arrives in 7 minutes.

Two varieties of SpongeBob SquarePants. In the first, he's gentle and round and has long eyelashes, to illustrate "Democrats fighting Donald Trump." In the second, he's got enormous pectoral muscles ripping open his shirt, eyes radiating death rays, and some broken teeth, to illustrate "Democrats fighting Zohrnam Mamdani."
