Nova, a calico cat wearing a black and white plaid bow tie, stares directly at the camera as she sits in a cardboard box.

After careful consideration and rigorous testing, Nova has determined that this is the perfect cardboard box.

I'm not sure I would consider the NY Post to be "press", but this is vile even for them.

AI-driven automatic denials seem to be standard procedure for United these days. They know a significant percentage of denials won't be appealed.

Nova's streetwear.

Nova, a calico cat, stares into the distance with her tongue protruding mindlessly from the side of her mouth.

If only we could read the mind of a cat. What profound thoughts roam through the mind of the noble calico?

Nova: Food food food food food food food food food.

Nova, a chubby calico, wears a large gold chain while she sits with her mouth open in mid-meow.

Stunting, stunting, like I got my first chain.

A chubby calico with a bowtie rests on a table, her eyes half-closed and her tongue protruding from the side of her mouth in a decidedly less-than-intelligent look.

The calico is renowned for its intelligence. Those who encounter a calico are often startled by the bright and piercing gaze which hints at ancient wisdom.

A silly calico sticking her tongue out.

Nyaaaaaaah!

Kitty bliss. #CatsOfBlueSky

My friend's dog pooped on the carpet once and the Roomba smeared it over every square inch of their house.

I think that's very much what my brain Roomba would be like.

As with so many right-wingers and bigots, cruelty is the sole point. It becomes their identity.

It's gradual. People don't wake up and abruptly decide to become hate-mongering conspiracy theorists. It's a steady slide down an ever-deepening rabbit hole.

We have to learn how to prevent this.

Cute overload.

Nova, a beautiful calico, naps serenly on a black and white plaid blanket.

One year ago today, we brought this hissing, furry bratwurst home from the shelter. I think she's settled in nicely!

Nova, the calico cat, naps blissfully in a cardboard box lined with blankets. The tiniest hint of a tongue blep can be seen.

Weekends are for napping.

"Latin: aqua; Spanish: agua; Portuguese: água..." followed by "French:" and a picture of a cat seeming to struggle to pronounce "l'eau" but probably about to vomit.

The intersection of cat memes and linguistics memes is a rare delight.

Comic book cover showing Captain America punching Hitler. Text reads, "Smashing thru, Captain America came face to face with Hitler..."

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier.

Nova, a calico, lies in her bed with one paw on top of her head, one under her chin, staring into the distance with one wide eye. She has clearly seen some shit lately.

Like many of us, Nova has had a rough week.

Nova, a calico cat, gazes intently at a bright red articulated shrimp statuette. Her tongue protrudes slightly in a transcendental blep, indicating that she is close to achieving Furvana.

Nova meditates at the Temple of Shrimp.

My god. Is it possible to sprain your salivary glands? Because I think I just did.

I'm pretty sure Gavin Newsom just set up a giant prop valve somewhere near the Oregon border and told Trump, "You win, I've turned on the faucet."

A calico cat with a black bowtie snores blissfully on a fuzzy yellow blanket, one paw curled adorably under her nose.

Sorry I haven't posted here in a while. Here's some kitty zen to make up for it.

Blockity-Block-Block...Block-Block.

Blocked them on Facebook as well.

Nova, a calico cat, draped inconveniently over my arm as I type on my keyboard.

I had to move her favorite chair.
Now I'm the favorite chair.

A row of movie thumbnails on HBO Max, featuring "It Follows" immediately followed by "It".

Honestly, I should have seen that coming.

A Mastodon post by user Nickiquote that says "Congratulations to Elon Musk for making cars so bad that no-one can tell if a carbomb has just happened or if the car just did that."

Truth.

An ornate wooden cube with delicate gold inlays, featuring letters of the alphabet on each side.

I made custom alphabet blocks for my young nephew. It's a little late for Christmas, but that's okay. We have such sights to show him!

Swedish death cleaning is less metal than it sounds.
