A small black and white kitten sits on top of a leather surface. His toes and chest are white, as is a part of his right upper lip. His ears are massive. His whiskers are long. He is, all told, adorable.

Okay, one last photo because I got a really good one.

A tiny 2lbs tuxedo kitten looks up from inside a black carrier. He has white socks, white on his chest, and a white spot on his lip.

I decided my cat, Fig, needed a friend, so today I adopted Fabian. Give me some time and I’ll eventually have a full cat cast of @dropout.tv & @dimension20.bsky.social’s Bad Kids 😂 #FantasyHigh #Dimension20 #Dropout

Oh man, for a minute there I thought you had a horrible packing foam accident. I immediately clutched my cat who, in such a situation, would absolutely somehow manage to either eat or get every single piece of styrofoam fused to her coat. Hail sounds more fun and less of a PITA to clean up!

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

On the one hand, this is incredibly silly. On the other, I really sort of love how incredibly silly it is.

Capitalism is always controversial

I’m glad you did! The end result was fabulous!

That’s really beautiful! I had not heard of this style before and it’s been very interesting to look into. Thanks so much for sharing!

He watched an episode of Star Trek and got confused. Just leave it at that, if only for your own sanity.

Finished my first clasped weft project. I think the technique has some cool potential opportunities.

My friends with autism refer to the autism swag as “the ‘tism.” As in “I rocked the ‘tism today.” 😂

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Was it the Huntington Beach nazi parade that moved the needle for you? The Kimmel situation? All of it collectively?

I imagine that’s how his career with the New Yorker felt as well and aligns with the overall theme of abruptly waking to reality. Perhaps it was written to deliberately evoke this response?

Though the man’s killing had been filmed, a fact checker is obliged to seek comment from any party alleged to have committed a crime. I called the soldier’s lawyer. He picked up from a café, where I could hear trance music blasting in the background. The lawyer told me that while, yes, his client did shoot the man picking olives, and yes, the man did die, the Israeli military court found his client not guilty of murder because the man picking olives was a terrorist who was throwing stones. Even though the video did not show the Palestinian man throwing stones, the court said that he was, so he was. QED, his client did not murder anyone, and it would be slanderous for us to say so.

if you read one thing today, make it this absolutely devastating piece from a fact-checker who quit the New Yorker

I am very interested, personally. Please make more.

A young female deer stands on grass with assorted greenery behind her. She is looking slightly to the right of the camera.

Two young female deers descend a small slope. They are mid-shed.

My lunch companions are delightful.

Does anyone pay for their content? Everyone I know gets it for free through their phone plan.

This is an appalling collection of simply unhinged and hateful responses from public individuals dead set on blaming the Left for Mr Kirk’s murder. It’s excellent reporting given the very short turnaround time, but maybe don’t read if you’re feeling sensitive or fearful for your safety.

Wow, that’s sobering

I don’t think he can accurately be called a martyr until the reasons for his murder are identified, can he?

IT LIIIIIIIIIVES!

When I began having heart troubles I bought one of these and it really helped. If I started feeling weird I could immediately test. It soothed the anxiety and, a few times, let me know I genuinely had a real problem and with a more exact start window. They make a credit card sized one too!

Same. And the airpod shape is, I find, particularly uncomfortable.

This is wonderful! Well done, New Mexico!

We don't talk enough about how many people normalize the murder of fellow human beings.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

It's here, and earlier than I expected! My first book, Making Values-Based Decisions in the Academic Library, co-edited with the fantastic @atureen.bsky.social, starts shipping next week! It's been a journey, but I'm so happy to see it come to life. 📚📜
