Is there anywhere a photo of Patel _not_ looking as though he's just been hit over the head with a frying pan?

Yeah, I’m all prepared with various responses (varying according to how the question/statement/reaction comes across) and no one has said anything.

I hope you have good people around you for support and care.

Charlie, a grey and white cat is sound asleep. His right front paw is over his face, covering his eyes.  Glimpses of his pink belly are visible.

Whenever I see Charlie sleeping like this, I invariably find myself thinking β€œThe world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending…”

I will admit I cry easily these days. So please excuse my tears here.

If this is a post from personal experience, then I am sorry. This must be just awful.

Oh, my gosh! Cuisenaire rods! I am old enough that these were introduced to us as some weird new thing when I was in elementary school in Maryland. I loved them! But I’m not sure the teacher knew how to incorporate them.

Close up of a grey and white cat drinking water from the sink.  You can see his little face reflected in the drain stopper.

Charlie likes to drink out of the sink.

Oddly, if anyone needs a good lawyer in Albequerque, I, sitting here in Maryland, have the name of one.

I want this recorded for all time. My wife, a graphic designer by training, insists I see colour the way dogs do. However, the internet assure me that my perception of colour is PAST THE THEORETICAL HUMAN LIMIT. I am become Colour Itself.

My good friend...the person who actually got me drinking coffee...has always liked Dunkin' and I was pleased to see that those experts did too.

Hegseth should not just be fired. He should be arrested and tried for war crimes. Along with others, including Trump.

Target’s lost me for good. The DEI mess was only one reason.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Their coffee is awful, too. I’ve only been drinking coffee for about 10 years. I’ve always thought their coffee tasted like they brewed it from cigarette butts but what did I know???

Then I watched this and hey, they don’t like it either. (Great video btw.)

I had to Google to make sure of his name, but I want to add that this reminds me of the works of Alan Lee.
