Nala the Tiny Angry Princess wants nothing to do with these shenanigans.
A small orange short-haired girl cat with big orange eyes stares out from her cat cave. This is a trap.

Or shoot the day from afar with a tranquilizer dart, and once it's unconscious, it can be transported safely and relocated to a proper environment.

I find that what works really well in fiction would be a disastrous idea in real life which is why so many dystopias end in teenagers leading revolutions or the end of all life on Urth/Erath/Erethe/Panemerica as we know it.

I pretty much totally skipped out on Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, most of those popular sitcoms. I don't think we missed much.

Congratulations on earning the gratitude of an owl spirit/the Fae/something you can't understand. Perhaps you will be granted a favor/three wishes/dead mice on your doorstep/the answers to truths unknown someday.

I will abandon the concept of money altogether before using any with Trump on it. Those would be truly accursed coins.

I'll always be honest that I didn't have what it took to serve, but I'll also always respect the fuck out of those who do it for the right reasons.
I'm just sad and angry and afraid for what's happening now.

Three generations of my family served proudly and honorably so I could be a writer. 🤣
But seriously, they'd all be outraged by Hegseth and what he's doing to our armed forces.
This is the ship literally named for my great-grandfather. Would that it rose again as a ghost ship of vengeance.

I come from a family with a military tradition. This beer drinking wife-beater doesn't know shit about the military or what it stands for.

Honor. Valor. Courage.

SERVICE.

Those are the values of the US Armed Forces.

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

But let's fucking reboot Harry Potter.

*grumble*

I figure Hollywood felt burned out by YA adaptations, especially after Divergent's last installment crashed and burned on a cliffhanger.

But wow, this would have been nice to see happen.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.
Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened. Current Issue Cover of October 2025 Issue October 2025 Issue According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.” Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.
