Here’s a sleepy kitten to look at instead of the news.

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

Bam Adebayo has scored 81 points in a game

Oh is this happening?

The administration gutted state capacity to disrupt it, and smeared the very ethical researchers quoted, who have for years done nonpartisan work to address this problem. The deranged ketamine addict running X fell for Shellenbullshit about “censorship”. And here they are.

This week the Senate is going to vote on Joshua Rudd to be Director of the NSA. He's a dangerous nominee to lead an agency with a history of abusing domestic surveillance capabilities. Here's why:

I'm not sure the coverage is really making enough of Trump spending blood and treasure to replace a dying hard liner with a younger hard liner who now has a burning personal reason for revenge. And gloating about what a success this is.

Trump's war of choice has ALREADY cost us $5 billion. All while he's ripping health care and nutrition assistance away from millions of Americans.

Buoyed by public support, Olivia Clark moves forward with transportation funding proposal Two new revenue sources could raise $68 million per year.

Still can't believe what happened at council transpo committee yesterday... Just shocking bravery and speed displayed by Councilor Clark to move forward on two new fees that would save PBOT from its fiscal crisis.

A Free Tibet protest crosses Morrison at 5th in Downtown Portland

we should establish a unit of 'a day of Medicare spending' (about $3 billion) that we use to discuss federal government spending.

it’s tiny trunk tuesday

It's simple. Just announce the war is over every morning before the stock market opens. Then right after it closes double down with threats of an even bigger, longer war.

Just do this every day forever. The war and the market siloed off in two alternating realities that never meet.

The faster our country is rid of rural Christian conservatives the better.

I block them too but I feel that we have to address, somehow, the apparently real people who are SO FUCKING STUPID that they continue to attack the Democratic Party for not being able to stop the MAGA/GOP from killing us all. This is such a misplaced puritanical, totalizing, viewpoint of what…

"Celebrating International Cat Day" a grey and white cat stands in th same position for the commands sit, lie down, fetch, shake, and roll over, when it comes to the command stay he's nowhere to be found.

I rarely post these but in honor of my great-uncle, a 90-year-old cat lover and owner, it's too good to pass up (some say cats are dumber than dogs because of their inability to learn commands, well if that's so make me as dumb as that)

It’s sad that this 5 year old video is still relevant today.

On the first day of this war, the US bombed a school with almost the same exact death toll as when Timothy McVeigh bombed the daycare center of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. And our leaders wonder why Iran doesn't surrender immediately.

Thread.

I can’t stand all this crap reporting about Trump looking for “exit ramps” or a “quick end” to the war he started with Iran. Do people think we can just peace out and everything will be fine? We just bombed a large nation and killed a slew of civilians. They’re not going to just let it go. FFS.

We went from “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” to “it might be over” in 2 days.

No matter which way you interpret it, Donald Trump is a leader who has no idea what his actual goals are.

He’s just doing shit.

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

america is the land of opportunity. you could become a navy seal, and then even a US senator, and before you know it you’re breaking a marine veteran’s arm with no repercussions. greatest country on earth.

Stevie Wonder on drums with Formula 3 YouTube video by Mr. Wolf

There are a lot of bad days but I've yet to find one bad enough that the video of Stevie Wonder playing drums, including a 45 second solo, with prog dudes on Italian TV can't improve it.

Kids grow fast, and so do we.

This fall, we're adding more than 1,000 seats for universal 3-K in 56 zip codes. Childcare will be more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs.

'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

I'm cleaned out and I need to buy groceries and pay two bills this week.

If anyone could contribute to my fundraising it would be a huge help!

Thank you 🙏🏽❤️

Wild that Councilor Morillo -- the most effective legislator in year 1 -- lost co-chair of the climate committee (which was dissolved), & is not on the housing or transportation committees which are her strongest subject matter areas.

Pretty unserious for others on council to allow this to happen.
