Cat: "Sorry, human -- I know you're just going to blow this on, like, things for you and not for me, so I'm just gonna take this down to the treat aisle and browse a bit."

Human: "Of course, Bodega Cat. You know best."

I just want to say -- I both love and hate you, with the fire of a thousand suns for both, for putting this particular image in my head.

Well done.

::applause::

::and then some throwing up a bit in my mouth::

::but still::

Well done.

One of my kids used to work at a Major Grocery Store deli, and they all rang up hot foods as cold for SNAP recipients.
If you work in a deli and can do this without losing your job, please do so.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

A fine fellow indeed!

So she might as well get out there now & start testing the waters w/ things like this (and many of the things she's said over the last 2, 3 weeks would qualify as other attempts).

I expect we'll see more & more of them doing it as time goes by, but would not have picked her to be the first.

Gotta hand it to Greene, really -- she is the first of the Republicans to start her Massive Image Rehabilitation Tour, which I gotta assume is because she has looked ahead and is betting on the complete and total collapse of Republicans over the next months/years.

Tonight was a huge win for democracy & a major blow to Trump's authoritarian rule

Voters chose Dem govs in VA & NJ, kept a Dem majority on PA’s top court, rejected an anti-voting measure in ME, chose an anti-Trump NYC mayor & are set to back fair maps in CA. Pro-democracy sweep.

On the literal day the man dies, I happen to hit the episode of The Wire where this dialog takes place:

Newspaper Dude 1: "Weird shit, talking to a psychopath like that."

Newspaper Dude 2: "I interviewed Dick Cheney once..."

Thank you, Universe. Thank you. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

Canned chicken, jar of your favorite salsa (literally any kind, heat level, etc -- just what you like is all that matters). Match up amounts of chicken/salsa to your preferences.

Heat chicken in fry pan, pour on salsa to mix up, use for literally any taco/burrito/salad, whatevs that you like.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Gavin Newsom is a fucking piece of shit & count this as my "I will never vote for that asshole" post for the future.

But... here's the thing.

IT'S FUCKING 2025. WE ARE 3 FUCKING ***YEARS*** FROM THE 2028 ELECTIONS. WE CAN FIND ANOTHER, BETTER, NOT SHITTY CANDIDATE.

Christ, this isn't hard, ppl.

Alexander,

I hope you are well. In your Spacebook photo you appear to be inebriated. Have you tried Klingon bloodwine yet?

What a great representation of the diversity of New Yorkers (and really, everywhere): all ages, ethnicities, genders, all of it. 😍

To all of you: you're not only working towards this election, you're giving hope to all of us who believe things can be better, no matter how far away we live.
