I generally appreciate people who post cat pics. But when they post tropes like 'no thoughts' or the like, it really pisses me off. Pisses me off enough to have just blocked someone. Cats are as smart as they need to be & would do better living off the land than all but a few very people here.

Memo Kosemen will be pleased his All Tomorrows is getting a mention from such a cool scifi writer. I have a good bit of his art, mostly the style I call 'alien folk art', like this one.

Jackson often gets under the covers with me at night. Nothing cozier than being under the covers (a CPAP machine helps!) snuggling with a warm cat.

I think this qualifies for Whiskers Wednesday, though it was not taken on a Wednesday. He's kneading the duvet as I was trying to get to sleep and I thought 'Well, I'm awake, so let's take a cat pic.'

Just Jacky being good, if inconvenient, company. He does perform a useful service lying like that: I can't type easily around him so he keeps me from arguing with people. And it works.

Clearly Jackson does not recognize the existential dread that lies like a miasma over many of our lives.

Way to go, Politico! Sanewashing the Trump regime. As if anyone with an ounce of sense could ever have believed clown liars like Bondi, Patel, Bongino might possess the skills to run a serious federal criminal situation like a terrorist attack. Are you high?
