No Kings today or any day. Cats always. #caturday George finally found the desk bed and is starting to use it. Martha can’t even.
I made someone's highlight reel. FDJT. Abolish Ice. Justice for Renee and Alex. No to everything about this administration.

It’s #Caturday! And while we’re shattering record high temperatures today. It was cold and snowy earlier this week. George found a vent and Martha watched me cook from above.

I have not been taking enough pictures of my cats. These are the only two from the past few weeks. Happy #caturday George is just thinking about using the desk bed. Martha likes the nic cage pillow

Wow.

Another #Caturday of Martha only. She’s getting very comfortable when I’m working.

I missed #caturday again. Oh well here are George and Martha basking in way too warm February sun.
p.s. I had the most horrible time trying to choose fewer than 100 gorgeous posts to unpaywall for the celebration @flaminghydra.com's second birthday!! I am so proud to be part of this thing.

Just noticed I'm veering away from cats. So pre-Caturday post gotcha day pictures. We got George and Martha 3 years ago. They are the best cats. #caturday #cats
I love a Robyn Weintraub Friday! Always reliable. So smooth, so many interesting answers. I was just about to say but I didn't quite get 57A, but it just clicked as I went back to check on it. Thank you @robynw414.bsky.social
jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…
Absolute banger of a comment on r/military:

I’m so fucking angry
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
Attention crossword constructors: FUCKICE (7)
Completed cryptic crossword grid with solving scribbles and detritus.
I just completed my first ever @avcx.bsky.social cryptic with no hints (and on examination one error). It was from 08-31-2023 Rebecca Bridge edited by @naytnaytnayt.bsky.social I'm feeling pretty smart right now.
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I missed #caturday but I always have pics of my goofballs.
This administration specializes in fearmongering, not facts.
The facts: 86% of trans youth report s*cidal ideation and 56% have attempted to end their lives. Anti trans laws increase attempts by ~72%. <1% report regretting GAC.
If they are trying to protect children, science says they are wrong.
