Two humorous social media posts about cats believing their owners can control nature, like rain and sunlight. Transcribed Text: Feline_Tales My cats have this meow that means “please come with me to fix this” after which they’ll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or ‘empty’) food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the ‘problem’, they look back at me, clear message. What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my ‘power.’ I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. “Please fix this” they say. “Please get rid of the wet” “Silly kitty,” I say, “I can’t control the rain.” I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain. purrfect_logic I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that. But I can turn lights on and off in the house and he’s fairly certain I’m just not applying myself properly here.

me: a guy here was arrested for assaulting a woman while he was cosplaying as a nazi officer

Dad: what is cosplay

me: *explains*

Dad: sounds like a nazi who stopped "cosplaying" as a normal person

This man's ability to randomly say insightful thing while also putting cosplay in quotes is a trip

As well you should be! BT was a great ride from start to finish (and comfortably ranks as my most played game on Steam by SEVERAL hundred hours) <3

Fire The Consultants The Democratic party must move on from the same old stale, carefully poll-tested politics and get back to solving voters' problems. There are only three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Democra...

For my newsletter, I took a deeper look at the electoral record of WelcomePAC, a centrist group that produced that 352 page document advising Democrats to moderate once again.

Turns out the campaigns they work for aren't winning. www.burnsnotice.com/fire-the-con...

What kind of voice do you see Taskmaster having? (I just realized I've been filling in Murray the Demonic Talking Skull, from the Monkey Island games, when seeing your illos)

Yet another example of the "the dystopian thing that made you extremely mad in that one Leverage episode is 100% real" phenomenon @johnrogers.bsky.social

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

ah, this guy was taken alive, unharmed, and there hasn't been an all-hands-on-deck freakout about What It Means. Guess the demographic!

I was leery of Zitron having a PR background, but still locked into his stuff. Shoulda listened to my concerns :/

And shoulda been doing a doubletake when he kept on repeating & repeating that the AI bubble was Really About To Pop Right This Second, Y'all.

We wanted to understand what a Zohran Mamdani administration would mean for New York. So we talked to a Kentucky woman who once tied for 5th place in a swim race with a transgender woman and got really mad that she didn't get to hold the trophy.

Whoever could have imagined there would be negative downstream consequences professionally for making a corrupt deal with the Trump admin….

Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."

Like Pokemon, we gotta catch 'em all!

(I, for one, appreciated the increased contract variety and flexibility from the expansions a lot!)

Ah I see you are a person of refined taste as well!

Fairer AND more shinies involved, sounds like a good deal all around

World Central Kitchen is mobilizing to Jamaica, please consider donating

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

THIS is the reason why I have consistently tried to emphasize that Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies with different duties and different leadership and different styles.

Border Patrol are the aggro cowboys compared to ICE. Now they're going to be the ones running the show.

Trump plans to install Border Patrol officials to lead a more aggressive migrant crackdown The White House has approved a list of ICE leaders to be replaced by Border Patrol officials in coming days amid disappointment with arrest numbers.

NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go:

"'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Trump administration quietly purges ICE leaders in five cities: Sources The Trump administration has replaced senior ICE personnel in five cities with Border Patrol officials.

Other outlets are now reporting. First to report tonight was Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner, whose story if anything missed how big the purge was. It's not just five cities; ICE Field Office Directors are being fired in at least a dozen cities, and will be replaced by CBP people instead.

Ok, frickin terrified at the idea that Tom Fucking Homan was on the "not as broadly targeted" side of things (such as it was).

(I was primarily in the G+ OSR scene, but not restricted to just that!)

Well, I'm pretty sure I've still got mine if it would be of interest!

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

a day in an american life

Despite having a mech as my pfp, not seeing the problem here.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
