Morning bird watch. Ramses and Bastet understand that birds are jerks and they must be closely monitored.

I can’t afford this. Heading out to find an additional source of income.

The head of our shipping department loves his job.

You know what time it is…

Double vision.

Bastet and Ramses are members of the Olympic Synchronized Napping team. It will be hard to keep these two off the podium.

Pro tip: don’t use a dryer sheet if you want to get maximum floof from your cat.

Excited for the return of Forever Carlyle! I really appreciated the message from Greg at the end of the issue!

This is fantastic! It reminds me a little of the work of the great Jeffrey Veregge (R.I.P.)

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice Who will stand up for our democracy? This question, fraught in even the most peaceful times, has only grown more pressing as our country approaches its 250th anniversary. Each passing day brings growing assaults on essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process. Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing. Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation desperately needs your cowardice. Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived. Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone on about what’s happening to their precious democracy. This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov- eling. Now is not the time to say, “Enough is enough,” and have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama. But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

I was able to meet the legendary Dan Slott this weekend at Washington Summer Con. He is one of my all-time favorite comic writers!

I did note in my review that the item was expertly packed and shipped. I am happy with my purchase from this seller. 5 stars.

I always bring my reusable shopping cat to the grocery.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

My view from my bed on most mornings when I wake up. It’s their passive aggressive way of encouraging me to get up and entertain them.

Cats and comics to start this #Caturday with Bastet and Ramses.

Waiting impatiently for us to entertain them.

Kelly: Senator Ossoff and I introduced legislation to compel the rest of Congress to do what the two of us already do: put your assets into a blind trust, where you don’t have the ability to use any of the information you have to make money because of your job.

And my cats seem offended if I offer to help them out.

It’s a fuzzy blanket kind of #Caturday in the Pacific Northwest.

Why don't the conspiracy theorists consider why RFK Jr. seems to be going down the list of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century and eliminating each one.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

They are floofy.

I was able to get Ramses and Bastet to pause their bird-watching just long enough to pose for this image. Then it was back to work…because birds are jerks…
#Caturday #Catsofbluesky #cats

That is one magnificent floof!

Bastet and Ramses with their favorite toy. They have about ten of these in various colors. We have a morning ritual where I retrieve them from under various pieces of furniture. Big fun.

Just packing the essentials.
