Catsby being kissed on his head by a man who will miss him very very much

I said good bye to Catsby yesterday. His health had been on the decline recently and it was time. I don’t know much about his life before I brought him inside from my building’s parking lot, but I made sure he was safe and loved in the six years he was with me. I’ll miss him every day.

Earlier today the LA Times had AI-generated counterpoints to a column from @gustavoarellano.bsky.social. His piece argued that Anaheim, the city he grew up in, should not forget its KKK past.

The AI "well, actually"-ed the KKK. It has since been taken off the piece.

Anyway, here are pics of Catsby

Happy to say that I’m joining PolitiFact full time next year as a digital research analyst. I’ll still be fact checking, as well as looking into news and misinformation trends. Grateful for the opportunity and ready to hit the ground running in 2025.

A white and ginger cat lays on a black office chair. The cat is looking off into the distance, unaware that his owner would like to sit on the chair to do some work.

I guess this platform might have some juice with all the people migrating to it, so here’s a pic of my cat since I’ve been doing less public-facing reporting work.

A collage of images with the same cat in the style of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour poster. Text at the bottom reads “Mister Catsby The Furball Tour.”

Spent more time than I care to admit making this dumb thing of my cat.

Still searching for that Goldilocks social media platform where I can share what I bought during the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale without harsh judgment

Gimme the sicko shit

Yeah but what are your top four films

A white and ginger cat lays on top of a rug. Sunlight shines directly in his face as the cat stares directly into the camera, his eyes piercing into the photographer’s soul.

There he is

A white and ginger cat slumbers with not a care in the world, his head resting against a multicolored throw pillow.

An out of focus lox everything bagel sandwich with capers, cucumbers and pickled red onions appears in the lower left of the photo. A white and ginger cat, who moments ago was sleeping blissfully, snaps to attention — his face a steely glare. He sniffs the sandwich with purpose.

Given the “pspspspsps”: I sleep

Lox bagel sandwich: real shit?

The sea gives, and the sea takes. Water connects all things. Life to death. Darkness to light.

How can you not be romantic about putting souvenir baseball helmets on a cat?

A deep fried cheesecake served at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. It’s topped with powdered sugar and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

The Dodgers celebrate at home plate following Max Muncy’s grand slam home run that won the game 10-6 against the Philadelphia Phillies.

It’s a good day for baseball and eating decadent stadium food that I’ll regret later.

Man crouches down to pet a cat and says "nice kitty." The cat pulls out a switchblade and says "don't be a hero. give me your shoes."

Repostin' some oldies

A ginger and white cat slumbers upon his blue throne (aka the living room couch) as a weird guy takes his photograph. A golden yellow-colored throw blanket that serves only a decorative function because it’s loosely knitted and isn’t great at retaining heat can be seen in the background.

Some prime Catsby content that I know you’ve all been craving.

Just going back to the days of posting innocuous images on social media instead of links to articles I’ve written that get zero clicks but still elicit multiple responses calling me a paid political operative.

Latest Catsby pic just dropped.

Please enjoy Catsby just trying to get by in this world.

A ginger and white cat lays inside a cardboard box placed atop a bed. He stares out into the vastness of space as he ponders his place in life and it’s current trajectory. Is he only merely and indoor house cat, or is he meant for more? Or he’s probably looking at the ceiling because he heard a strange noise. It could go either way.
