Sheeeesh, some white liberals/progressives/lefties really just can't help writing racist skeets in the aftermath of certain events today.
Self-awareness is a skill. So is not being a fucking bozo. If you want to maintain skills, you gotta keep practicing.

Two black cats soaking up sun outside on a wooden bench. The short haired one, Rufus, is on the left sitting upright. His brother Oliver is facing him in a loaf position.

These two numpties both had to be sedated for a doctor visit, and then when they got home they had a slow motion brawl in the front room.

Hopefully Moses Moody's shoulder is okay. Two bad passes from him after diving on the floor. #GSW πŸ€

People on r/warriors are mad, as if 77% of them didn't want Klay Thompson benched for Brandin Podziemski in 2024

Someone is selling those flowers, or using them for their own wedding.

... and now I'm extra confused because on Camino's site they say the cannabis ones have no THC, but the ones I bought for years had a super mild 2mg THC dose per gummy, along with the CBD. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered

Though on closer inspection I see these are hemp, and not cannabis. I've only had the cannabis ones tbf.

Oof, they used to be in much better shape. It looks bad in the video here as well. I wonder if at some point they just planted a bunch of annuals, and now those beds are empty? Or if someone told them they wouldn't have to water natives (lol)?

Now demolished tiny building with a mural of Steph Curry with Mac Dre hair making the thizz face and the "three" hand sign. "Town Biz" is in small letters, and large letters in the background say DU (BS) . Oakland, 2016

I feel ill thinking about the fact that this administration thinks they have the right to just kill people.

Anyone who didn't take that 5th avenue remark seriously back in 2016 is probably incapable of drawing a straight line from Bernie Goetz to Creep's world view. And here we are, living in it.

I don't know much about how the Nuggets usually win games, but I will say just chucking threes seems like the wrong approach right now? πŸ€

It's a real photo though, seen it for years. Pretty sure it was taken at Rodney Bingenheimer's.

Living Too Close to the Ground Sometime in the months before he dove off a bridge in Sag Harbor and drowned one night in January …

I've recommended this to many people, but it's because I go back and reread this short and gently haunting piece (mostly) about the Everly Brothers a couple times a year. oxfordamerican.org/magazine/iss...

Yes, just a couple days ago. We basically had no rain here in January, so these showed up after finally getting significant rainfall about a week ago.

I asked Rufus last week if he wanted an orange, and he didn't say no. I think he may have finally grown tired of it Β―\_ (ツ)_/Β―
