A welcome sign with a tabby cat and behind it are the ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina A close up of the ruins One of the cats who lives at the sanctuary hiding behind some bushes

My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there

god, welker is so bad at this. when you ask a question where the "good" answer is "no" and the "bad" answer is "yes," and the respondent doesn't answer the question, the answer is "yes"! not "no!"

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

i would love to stop seeing people here argue that it’s not antisemitic to kill random jews in america as retaliation for israeli policy. if people would stop doing that, that would be super cool imo. not being a bigoted sociopath on main β€” what a concept!

I don't see any reason why government officials should be protected from reputational damage for their actions while working in an official capacity.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

I struggle to communicate my fury about the easing of sanctions on Russia's oil as a result of the Iran war.

Unlike basically anything suggested as an objective in this fool war, containing Russia's ability to brutalize and dominate Eastern Europe *actually is* a vital US security interest.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

A short-eared owl flying A short-eared owl flying

I saw a short-eared owl flying over the Montrose Beach Dunes this morning. It seemed to be making a brief visit as it was flying north up the lakefront.

a group of people standing next to each other in front of a wall with paintings on it . Alt: "Jason figured it out? Jason? This is a real low."

I feel like Ted Danson's character in The Good Place except I'm pointing at Iran and saying, "Dubya figured it out? Dubya!?"

Because even George W. Bush looked at that cost-benefit and thought, "y'know, no, that's not a good idea."

And we all know what he thought DID look like a good idea.
