Yes, sadly we do not have a Captain Carrot quite yet. She really wants a cat, though, and we've looked at a few orange ones that would make great "Carrot"s.

Adorable white Great Pyrenees licks her lips while being presented with a piece of salmon sashimi in chopsticks. She is intently focused on the food.

Angua loves volunteering to help! (Although she would never say no to being a paid helper, if paid in sashimi...)

The Mike Primavera "feeding shelter cats to wolves" meme, photoshopped poorly to read: "My neighbor told me the Braves keep claiming his infielders off waivers so I asked how many infielders he has and he said he just goes to the Cubs and gets a new infielder afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding Cubs infielders to the Braves and then the Orioles front office started crying."

So, he's saying that Dems should "come together and decide to support whichever candidate has the most support among them in advance of [the general election]"? It's a real pity that we don't have a formal mechanism for measuring that support and letting people decide between multiple candidates.

everyone should be safe in public spaces. ideally everyone should also FEEL safe in public spaces! but if your discomfort is based on being racist or homophobic or not wanting to see a homeless guy or a mentally ill person, none of whom are a threat to you, i don't really care how safe you feel.

Not photoshopped. But you would almost think so. Perfect black cat wearing Spock long sleeve jersey and looking up with his paws on my legs. He looks like he is studying important things on the Enterprise.

That's when the NSA runs the Internet traffic through PRISM, collects all the hashed passwords, and stores them in a table until they see a collision with a known plaintext so they can crack it, right?
