Clap for me - it only took me five days to unbox and start using my new vacuum cleaner.

Crumpet loooooves the new cat tree. Two entrances to this spot means he never feels trapped! Even when kittens jump on him.
(No kittens pictured here - you can tell because he looks so relaxed.)

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

For the record, Venezuela has done nothing wrong other than to defy American imperialism
It’s not a major source of drugs flowing into the US. Even if it were that wouldn’t merit being attacked or invaded; Maduro isn’t a drug kingpin

This makes me even more rageful that a friend just had to pay $800 because her insurance denied coverage of her 19 year old's HPV vaccine, claiming that it is no longer recommended. Appeals were denied. I can only assume RFK Jr had something to do with this???
This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
