Grainy black-and-white photo of a cat with short curly hair standing outside. Text below the photo and throughout the rest of the page reads β€œMRS. ENNISMORE'S ORIGINAL CURLY, KALLIBUNKER, SHOWS HIS OTHER FEATURES: CURLING WHISKERS, BALD EARS. A DIFFERENT BREED OF CAT. Ever since the ancient Egyptians first tamed them, cats have been purring along happily enough with straight hair. Then in 1950 a tabby owned by Mrs.
Nina Ennismore of Cornwall, England produced a male kitten (above) with beautifully curly hair.
Intrigued, Mrs. Ennismore bred the male to his daughter and, presto, two more curly kittens. Last year two of the curlies, also called Kex cats, produced the first all-curly litter. Now Mrs. Ennismore is selling some of her permanently waved charges to let other feline fanciers help develop what may heil the line holds trueβ€”the world's newest breed of cat.”

1956 article about a new breed - the Cornish Rex. Like most modern breeds it’s a romantic tale of one person finding a natural mutation and thinking β€œwell my next step has obviously gotta be inbreeding this sucker.”

Native Americans are more American than any white person. They are true indigenous people, all their nations have every right to be here and honestly this place might run better with one of them in the White House.

A painting of a person in 1920s style fashion, wearing a large broad-brimmed hat trimmed with flowers. Their face holds no expression in particular. They are shown from the chest up, against a plain pale wall. Imposed across their chest is a meme saying: "The mistletoe is in my back pocket."

It's hard to feel seasonal cheer with [gestures around randomly]
