my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

Oh Welly😥 - you were so loved, and you brought smiles to so many. 💔

Give that Very Good Boy a medal!

*sigh* the MAGA version of Zuzu's petals...

Did the package with the 2 🐙toys get there last week? Distracted postal clerk here typed in a label for somewhere in Wyoming on her computer👀😬 - I caught it in time but have been nervous even though USPS website says it got to Idaho last week.🐱😊

He looks great in all of them but oh boy he is rocking that burgundy!

Screenshot from the Girl Scout Cookie order page detailing the option to donate cookies for distribution in their local community instead of having them shipped to you: Donate Cookies Your donation helps Girl Scouts in my community give cookies to local heroes. Donations go to Bake It Forward. No shipping cost. If ordering cookies for yourself, donations do not count for shipping 4 pkg minimum. $6.50

I was delighted to see that they have the Bake It Forward option! For those of us who don't really need more cookies - or who know our local scouts will be set up outside the neighborhood grocery & there's no way you can walk past those happy faces without stopping.
(both things can be true😄)

Roads finally thawed enough to make it to the Post Office - 2 more 🐙 for the 🐱s on the way!

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I can't say it any better than this... bsky.app/profile/nedp...

And Olivia Hussey was only 16 when "R & J" was filmed by 44-year-old Zeffirelli.
11-year-old me sat in the movie theater in 1968 and even then knew "this doesn't seem ok..." although I wouldn't yet have been able to put it in words.

🎂Wish a Happy 17th Birthday to sweet Masuke!🥳

Happy 17th Birthday, Masuke!🥳
You bring joy to so many around the world!

Done! The winter storm rolls in to Memphis tonight - we're as ready as we can be, which still feels... not ready. Sending warm thoughts to all in the path of this monster.❤️

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I should have them ready to mail by the end of the week. 😊

👏👏👏
love both versions of that film!

Would Batty like a fresh one? Finishing up a batch for my local rescue, can start one for him next. :)

I can update the pattern this week and get it to you. These are definitely designed as cat not dog toys though - Sia gets a pass for being cute (and supervised)😊.

Oh yes I have DDG & I'm not a fan of Google by any means. Just pointing out a workaround for those who do still chose to use Google Search (or what's left of it post-Prabhakar Raghavan) since someone else had already brought up DDG. :)

Excellent post, and oh the replies, the replies...
👏👏👏

type

after your search words and it nukes the AI summary (until Google figures out we are doing that and nukes that workaround too)

Commentary: I’m a police officer; you should know my name | HeraldNet.com The ability to identify an officer — local or federal — is a requirement for accountability and trust.

Six years ago I wrote in the Washington Post that police must not hide their face or name. Seems kind of pertinent now, right? Here’s a link to a free version of the piece I wrote. I was angry and sad then. I’m angry and sad now. Courage. Use it. Now.
