Being pro crypto is not the same as being pro Trump.

What's the alternative to using a blockchain for modern payments, letting Visa and banks profit off the transactions?

Larry, our 10 month old Tabby, looks at his big paw. We assume he'll get bigger because his paws are pretty big

The Simpsons meme pic of the guy reading a note he wrote on his huge hand, "I'm tired of the jokes about my giant hand. The first such incident occurred...."

Larry is big at 10 months old now but looks like he might still be growing into his giant paws

The people in these comments are bonkers. It's George. George is best. The first to be a vegetarian, and he has the best solo music overall

Paco stands on his hind legs in front of the feeder, with Larry at his dude

He's still waiting for another and got his brother Larry into it too

Paco, the 10 month old orange cat, stands up in the window watching a hummingbird sit at the feeder.

It's not a great picture of it, but today Paco saw his first hummingbird and it was pretty exciting

He's been keeping an eye on the feeder since it left. We get hummingbirds until about late August so he has plenty of time to left to enjoy

Our orange cat Paco bites his brother Larry's ear

Larry puts up with a lot from his little brother Paco

I guess when I have fast feelings it's either being instantly upset by cruelty, or joyful with a pleasant surprise or feeling of relief.

You're making me notice that my feelings are generally slower than most people. Maybe that's good for us? More time to react rationally before emotionally?

Thinking about it more- maybe for me the speed depends on the feelings and situation. If it's sometime like being lightly insulted or ripped off, it takes awhile for the feeling to sink in

I notice in emergencies other people freak out instantly but I don't til it's over. Maybe semi autistic trait?

Depends.... Normally my feelings are faster.

In a frightening emergency where I need to take action my thoughts are much faster and I feel it later

Yep, between Inslee and the unions. But Ferguson said instead of giving those raises he wanted to give the employees furloughs instead because he didn't want to raise taxes

I don't oppose the wealth tax, but even without it I want that budget signed.

He's definitely not sending the budget back for that since he already rejected the idea, but he better not line item veto the employee raises that he didn't support to begin with even though they were already negotiated

Now sign the budget the legislature just delivered that gives us state employees raises

I didn't know she had her own channel. Definitely telling my wife about this and then seeing what desserts she ends up wanting us to make

A smore cup cake with a cool shiny pot leaf candy topping, white marshmallow frosting, and a sprinkling of brown sugar to look like kief or powdered blonde hash

The munchie box: donuts and cookies inside a white box with a stoned a Marge Simpson sticker

Our vegan bakery did a 420 sale outside one of the pot shops today and I love how this cupcake looks. Our small town is just big enough to have nice things

You need to drop the idea of increasing property tax and go with the plan proposed by the legislature that we voted in, a wealth tax

Trump plans order to cut funding for NPR and PBS Trump and GOP Congress members accuse the public broadcasters of biased and "woke" programming. The president plans a rescission, giving Congress 45 days to approve it or allow funding to be restored.

Paco, or orange baby kitten, looks inside from the catio through the cat door

I'm glad it's working so well. Paco here had a hard time with the catio door so far. Larry does fine with it, but Paco finds it challenging and it closes on his tail.

We had to do some treats as motivation to get him determined enough to push through, and that seems to help but he's still learning

My cats, Larry and Paco, watch me play my electric guiter

I know it's cliche because everyone says this, but I really have the best audience

Paco, our tiniest son

Larry, the bigger but not older brother

We're feeling tired over here. Time to take a break from news this weekend, drink some wine, get some restaurant food, and recharge

Still very happy with my decision

So much fakey applause I feel like I'm watching an 80s TV show

Thank you!

I strongly believe there is no finer whisky

Larry and Paco, looking into their new catio together for the first time

A view from the outside

We had our catio closed up after adopting paco and larry because it was getting cold when we got them and they both had bad cases of pneumonia

The door is back in place now for spring and they seem pretty excited about it. I'm surprised they are still small enough to fit through the door together

Sure, but 4% savings when there has been 4.2% inflation for the last five years isnt going in the right direction, and that was my whole point - and I think what mark was saying

Nice, better than mine. Not everyone can get membership in a CU like that and there are probably limits to the number of withdrawals per month.

That and the higher potential gains are why young people use coinbase and Robinhood for "savings" so I understand what mark is trying to say though

Inflation for the last five years has averaged 4.2% per year, what does your credit union give?

They say if you cut onions under water they won't make you cry but it seems like it would make your swimming pool dirty

So disappointing to think I see a possible musk ban coming and then find out I read it wrong
