“Whose death is worth it? Only good people? Only saints? How do we decide whose murder is worth investigating? How do we decide which murderers to let go?”

“You’re going to catch every killer?”

“No. Hardly any, as a matter of fact”

Baby Thor is the second most gongy cat, just behind Blacky as gongiest family member. He’s a handful.

Big leany is by far the biggest cat here, and possibly the biggest cat in the universe e

Big Leany plays himself in the upcoming thriller ‘Tinker Tailor Leaner Spy’

Adam Driver aka The Extra Orangey aka The Dark Orangey. Soooooooo good looking

This is just pathetically awful. A federal judge with a lifetime appointment. There is no bottom. And sooner than we think, we will be unable to crawl out of this abyss we are so proudly and angrily digging. This is pathetic

A wonderful night in the cottage with the two blacky whitey girls. They love love.

Regular Face Blacky Whitey aka Regs is now demanding more rubs. And she shall get as many as she wants. Same for Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey aka Grumps. They want endless love. And they shall get endless love.

Grumps is helping me study for the ethics final.

His lies about the Epstein files have the President turning into Nathan Thurm before our very eyes

Big news. Middle of the night, Regular Face Blacky Whitey aka Regs came right up to me in bed and head butted me until I gave her sufficient rubs. Then she fell asleep next to my head.
Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey aka Grumps always sleeps by my feet. It’s a cottage sleep over

He’s also is Secretary of Rubs. He’s the Rubio of MeanCat’s cabinet.

Was supposed to be interviewing candidates all day. We have two openings in the Lean Department. But I’m pretty sure these two are the ones. Congrats to our new Chief of Lean Baked Potato, and Deputy Chief of Lean Big Leany.

Our crepe myrtles are thriving. So much so that some are overhanging the garden beds to their south on the other side of the fence. More shade that I want on the flowers and roses. But these trees are so happy.

Me two minutes after submitting my final motion for Criminals Litigation workshop

Me as I submit my final motion for Criminals Litigation workshop.

The SCOTUS shadow docket decision to let the Administration gut DOE, with its stated purpose of closing it, while the lower courts ponder the issue is like a court letting the state go ahead with a death penalty sentence while the appeals work their way through the courts.

Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey enjoys a good nap or two or seven

The universal exception to No Kings

So our president went from repeatedly giving Russia two weeks to stop killing Ukrainians to giving him 50 days. It’s another gift to Putin. There is a reason he keeps doing this.

Tuesday morning with the Eastside Orangeys and Gentrification Kitty. I accidentally hit stop before greeting them all. But they’re wonderful. And look how healthy and happy they are

Just to be clear, without any oral briefs or hearing, the Supreme Court just allowed the executive branch to dismantle a department created by Congress. In a shadow docket. No nothing. The admin said they are wrecking it actually but not officially. And scotus says okey dokey

Study time with the blacky whitey girls. Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey aka Grumps. And Regular Face Blacky Whitey aka Regs. I’m very fond of them. And they both love head rubs

Cramming for ethics class, and the extra orangey adam driver aka the dark orangey is suggesting I focus on other matters closer to hand.

Give us this day our daily hibiscus

Home. On time. And with lots of time before legal ethics class. Made the stir fry cabbage with chinkiang vinegar and chilis. Then, dessert of freshly cut ataulfo (honey) mangoes and watermelon. So good. So good.

Yep

Baby Blondie 1 hasn’t quite figured out the Sphinx pose yet. I tell her to turn around but she ignores me. Maybe she has figured out the sphinx pose after all.
