Ronan will be her role model I think. My girls are jealous. They already compete with each other. When I pick Onie or Comfort up to love on them, they always look to make sure the other cat can see. (We'll see about Furiosa...)

I would love to read that. I hope you do it. You could just do one story a week and have it done in no time.

I wish this was out now. It's never been more needed.

Today's Poem:

Conservative Russian Propagandist Benny Johnson's follower count went up by 2 million people but his views have not only stayed steady, they've gone down. Astroturfing. Trying to make the world believe a lot of people buy conservative lies when, in reality, people are tuning out conservative media.

No but I think I am going to foster her for four months. Another person was going to do it but she's going through some stuff.

Secret Letter Reveals Epstein Even Creeped Out Woody Allen Woody Allen compared Jeffrey Epstein’s Upper East Side lair to Dracula’s castle, “where Lugosi has three young female vampires who service the place.”

This characterizes Woody Allen's statement as "creeped out" but it didn't read that way to me. Sounds like he ADMIRED Epstein's "young servants". Also, Woody Allen speaks about frequenting Epstein's parties and he wrote this letter to Epstein in 2016 sooo... www.thedailybeast.com/secret-lette...

I agree. Regionalism is a form of bigotry where people are lumped into a geographic area and then marginalized and ridiculed as a way of dehumanizing and dismissing them. It's no better than what MAGA is doing. We must not allow it and call it out for what it is. We must not feed division.

Because we're being deliberately sabotaged from the inside at the behest of Putin is my guess.

I've been following what's happening in Texas since before that one Koch bro died. I just didn't know your governors didn't have term limits. Our having a dem governor is our only saving grace. But republicans have tried to strip him of his power too. Repeatedly. So far they've lost. I feel for TX.

I'm not blaming Texas. Texas & North Carolina were both gerrymandered and manipulated by the Koch brothers at the same time. First 2 states out of 50. Courts have ruled repeatedly republicans must undo our maps. Elections went by-nothing. Now they've stacked the high court & we're stuck with them.

Awwwwwww!!!!

Delightful!

I love Trek Culture and I love Matt Baume and seeing these two creators together talking about two things I really really love is just so thrilling!!!! This is definitely a Joy for me. youtu.be/MXz3b-eVadU?...

What is something that brought you Joy today?

I finished the book I've been reading and I'm also starting to feel better after being sick for a whole week. I also got a cute pic of Ronan playing with Willow under the door. Or more correctly, stealing her mice toys. I bet they come back tailless.

Sneaky paw

YouTube video by Adam Conover Zohran Is Teaching the Left How to Win

I enjoy Adam's videos. He is observant and intelligent. This one make me feel uplifted and inspired. I am pulling for New York to lead the way in a true progressive populist transformation of this country by voting Mamdani and I hope other good people learn from his example. youtu.be/v0yGTV3OsUM?...

The right-wing podcast wars just got really ugly After Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens' conversation, the MAGA snake began to eat itself

Watching the MAGA snake eat itself is one of the few silver linings in the Trump era. There is some fleeting comfort in knowing how much the people who hate everyone also hate each other. www.salon.com/2025/08/04/t...

There was a Star Trek experience at the North Vegas Hilton for a while and it was really cool but it would have been even better if they'd replicated some of the bars on the ships, like Quark's on Deep Space Nine.

That right there.

Seems to me you're kind of an ass. Don't act surprised when people react to you like you're an ass.

Fuck off troll.

Oh my gosh! These are awesome! Thank you for sharing these!

Wonderful!
