Reminder that things like “polite behavior” and “composure” were NOT invented to regulate society, but so that rich and powerful people JUST LIKE THIS could pretend to be better than you when you lost it over how awful they were.
“Anytime I don’t get what I want it’s rigged and unfair, wah wah wah, I am a wittle baby victim but also the most powerful man in the world”
DENMARK AND FRANCE 🇩🇰🇫🇷 bans all Microsoft products from all public offices.
The phaseout is expected to be completed before autumn 2026.
Their products are being replaced with customer versions of Linux and LibreOffice.
This is digital sovereignty being taken back
After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
As a fellow cat mom, I am sending you all the hugs. I’m so sorry.
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
A traitor to both his party and his country.
ICYMI I wrote abt a gender non-conforming Union soldier who, it turns out, was (probably) a guerrilla fighter & rebel spy. And for my teachers/nerds in the room, it includes a transcription of the original primary sources.

Make Stupid People Feel Shame And Hide Themselves Instead of Putting Them in Power Again
The Pope doesn’t get “it” bc he is the vicar of Christ, and you work for Satan! Those who have ears have HEARD, you mushroom-dicked demon toad!
Also: you don’t get to pick the Pope. God does. And he clearly chose right. And it isn’t hurting anyone-YOU are. YOU are exposed as anti-Christ. Enjoy hell.
France starts moving government systems from Windows to Linux
France is ditching US software for homegrown alternatives of Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Zoom, and Telegram
Libre Office is very good.

Honestly, the thing that sells me on Trump as the antiChrist is that this freak so perfectly aligns with death as a horseman of the apocalypse that it’s scary.
Five bucks says not taking a salary creates a legal loophole for him that allows him to get away with a crime.
Yay for us that Trump in his stupidity masked off someone we thought was better than he actually is?
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
This is one of the finest pieces of writing by an animal since Dog's legal analysis of what happened to the breakfast cereal. dqybidc0ulehf.cloudfront.net/cereal-in-my...
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
A collective photo taken at Firestorm Books. Our team, including five humans and two dogs, is sitting on the sidewalk in front of the building looking relaxed. The sky is bright but cloudy and flags on the building hang without any indication of wind. The building is painted forest green and various posters and signs are visible in the windows, which reflect the sky. The largest reads "Immigrants Welcome."
Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. 1/9
THIS is what it means to be Catholic. THIS is who Jesus washes the feet of. THIS is who we are called to serve. THIS is representation of Imago Dei.
Thank you for reminding us what it REALLY looks like.

Let me call you a waaaaahmbulance! And no. Fuck you, you little bitch.
graphic that says in bold lettering "remember: no lilies for kitties. even ingesting a tiny amount of pollen can cause fatal kidney failure. don't risk it." the background is a wallpaper of lily drawings and there is a photo of a perfect, fluffy white cat in the bottom right corner.

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses.
It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them.
Yes. This exists. 😹
Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.
What a goofy way to say money is finite and people can’t spend what they don’t have!
If you are also mocking people for not spending “out of fear”…the cost of almost everything has DOUBLED in my noncoastal area. Please point me to the magic shopping center with pre-2024 pricing that doesn’t change.
Philadelphia is the greatest city in the world (sound on).
I was too sick to make it out but I am glad it was a rousing success! Congratulations!
No. Fuck off.
