The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

A black cat is sitting on a blue Native American-themed rug, while looking out a glass door at the brick walk outside. Its ears are back and its tail is curled up in mid-flick. It is not amused.

A meaty red Stapelia bloom, (commonly known as Carrion plants or flowers) against a gray porch. There's a small, black fly to the right.
This species has stunning flowers that emit the odor of rotting meat. This attracts flies, instead of bees, as pollinators.

If you're curious, here is the flower

Who's visiting my Carrion Plant?

This fly was quick & hard to capture with a phone

Oh, my God. Blast from the past. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

So we need two different Olympic medal categories:
The Acking Medals for the cats.
The Hurling Medals for their owners.

It felt to me as if the writers struggled w/constructing a clear plot while trying to avoid telegraphing critical plot twists
Also w/what they wanted it to beโ€”dark or light, deep or comedy
It makes for an uneven experience, but I definitely liked it by the end because it settled down & found itself

There can different medal events:

Loudest Urk-urk-urk

Most Diabolical and/or Damaging Location

Most Disgusting Thing Urked Up

Ah, the speed with which a person can catapult off a chair & race into a room where a cat is barfing is truly Olympic.

Friends, we have another a opportunity to protest the attempts to destroy science and public health by the Trump administration.

We would love to see you on November 5th if you can make it!

This Korean performance art piece is a little too on point ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ It's pretty much the plot of 80% of Kdramas

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

Same. So many of the "beloved" ones just don't do it for me.
But there's no sense "yucking someone's yum".

Trump's insurrection vs Portland's insurrection. For one, he didn't call in the National Guards. For the other he did.
