Our 2025 "Floating" Christmas "Tree". We do this to protect the ornaments from the cats. I get these kits from crackerboxkits.com

This is my fear. Our house is 150 yrs old and has a wood frame. PA lets people buy the big fireworks now. They're not supposed to set them off in neighborhoods, but of course they do. 🤬

Assholes with fireworks caused a fire in my home last July 4. We lost everything we owned, and are still displaced. I've always been opposed to amateur fireworks, but if you're gonna use them, 1) don't be an idiot, and 2) please have a fire extinguisher on hand

The Gen X in me wants to see what happens if I open it after dark... #genX

PurrWrestler Cricket sez, "Don't touch that mouse!" #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

Guess who won? #Purrwrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

That was very smart. I'm health care, so I'm pretty safe, but my husband is IT. TY for the suggestion. :)

yes please

Apologies. We had a long period of no matches. 2025 has been a rough year with losing 3 of our roster, and it's likely we will lose more this year. 10 of our PurrWrestlers are over the age of 14. In the meantime, enjoy. PurrWrestler Penny is itching for a fight! #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

We lost another senior PurrWrestler. Sophie crossed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. She was 15 and had lymphoma. Our roster is full of Super Seniors over the age of 14. We had no losses in 2024, but it looks like 2025 will be making up for that. ☹️ #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

Momma's starting to feel better. PurrWrestlers Ebe, Tuxi and Jasmine team up with Purr!Power to help. "We'll beat her up tomorrow." #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

PurrWrestler Samhain aka The Sphinx, is ready to dispense her riddles. Are you ready to answer them? #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

Momma's still sick. Fat Boyz say "Nope, no matches. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. Does this bed make my butt look fat?" #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

At this point the markets have devolved into a massive pump & dump scheme controlled by tweets. The meme stock mentality has taken hold

The administration wants Wall St to control the Social Security Trust Fund. No way in hell.

Opinion | Trump’s Gulag Archipelago He is seeking to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop his administration from imprisoning anyone it wants, anywhere in the world.

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Momma's been sick, sick, sick. PurrWrestler Contessa says cuddles will make her better. Not all days have to end in violence. #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

From legal settlements to business ventures, mega corporations are making deals with President Donald Trump and the Trump family Companies have reportedly doled out $80 million to the Trump family and his presidential library, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Why is Trump hot on tariffs affecting business and government?

Money - for him and his family.

Since January, companies have poured $80,000,000 into Trump personally.

Meta - $25,000,000

X - 10,000,000.

Disney - $15,000,000

Amazon - $41,000,000

It’s the grift.

PurrWrestler Meri still hasn't mastered the Grap-n-Nap technique. #PurrWrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

He Bankrupted His Casino. Now He's Bankrupting Our Country. Throughout three presidential campaigns, people who’ve voted for Donald Trump have repeatedly said they’ve done so, in part, because he was a “successful businessman.”

In a few short weeks, Trump has done to America what he did to the Taj Mahal casino. He will leave the former like he did the latter: bankrupt and crumbling, without giving a damn about the people whose lives he ruined or the suffering left in his wake.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan.

Subsidising home battery storage is a really cheap and effective way to cut bills and carbon. Being done in Australia. Britain needs to follow suit

Quite literally whitewashing the purpose of the Underground Railroad www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

You would think levying tariffs on uninhabited islands occupied by *checks notes* penguins would have given that away. I mean, I know penguins wear "tuxedos" but they're born with them so... 🤷‍♀️

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

Reciprocation

PurrWrestler pile on! Can we count them all? Is victory assured with these numbers? #Purrwrestling #cats #catsofbluesky

Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk was just awarded a $5.9 billion taxpayer-funded SpaceX contract by Trump—the largest in a new package of space deals. Trump ensured Musk got the money, fully aware he’s facing “steep personal cost.”

Today's Mark-ism...
me (feeding 2nd fl cats): "Please bring up Mack."
Mark (brings Mack to bottom of stairs): Call him?
Me: ... "He's deaf..."
