The only explanation necessary is “the cats can’t access it.”

I know you are a very experienced kitty foster, but no one knows everything, and the danger of salt lamps is not as widely known as something like lilies.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

I am not defending Newsom, I am calling out yet another story carefully calibrated to wring the maximum amount of anger and fear they could get out of the subject.

I don't get why people are mad about someone getting briefly suspended over a post with those phrases in it.

The automatic system should catch that!

When a quick look at just the post isn't enough, you appeal again, & they take the time to look at you.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I just returned four to the Humane Society who were getting close to 3 lbs. Their threshold is 2 lbs, but two of the six were barely over a pound at 8 weeks. I finally decided to just split the litter up.

They hate it because it's accurate.

I have always loved it, but then I don't resemble any particular Portland archetype that got skewered.

I know a lot of Portland folks hate Portlandia. But the city is a hell of a lot more Portlandia than WarZone and the world needs to know this.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

That the frog was actually taking advantage of a shift change does not diminish it. It's a brilliant tactic.

I'm not into it either, but that place had so much cool stuff. I bought a short sleeved button down shirt made out of metal thread there.

They're lying for clicks

They know this will get tons of shares, while the later editor's note, about how he actually has till the end of the week to sign them, will largely go unnoticed

More importantly, they don't even require his fucking signature. If a CA governor does nothing, the law passes

Why is all news like this now

Editor's Note: The original version of this story mistakenly stated Newsom has chosen not to sign trans protections. It has been updated to say he has until the end of the week to act.

It should be very very clear to everyone right now that the Attorney General was asked under oath if she possesses pics of the President with undressed teens and she refused to say “no.”

Portland doesn’t need the military. Portland has its own defenses.
