I've wondered all day if folks sent a sufficient number of pies to @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social for Secular Pie Thursday. I submit this as a second-hand offering, in case today's bounty was poor.

I suspect she saw how Loomer and Bobert, her arch rivals, were getting better treatment and attention from 🍊 and felt some kind of way, then she was discouraged for running for Senate, so now she is willing to do her job?

Our friend Luna didn't think the man had completed the petting task.

Mary, a gray kitten, falls in love with the photographer Sean. Shelley concurrrs.

Sean opened the cage and Mary ran up his arm and sat on his shoulder. Then he put her back in to see which of her litter mates would come home with us. Here Mary is selecting Shelly by squashing her. Pictured, a gray kitten lying on top of a tortoiseshell kitten.

Shelley wanted to give tribute to @ozzyosbourneoffi.bsky.social. Rest in peace, Oz. You did so much good in the world.

The boy returned from being out of town for a week, and Mary and Shelley ran to his arms. A man holding a tortoiseshell cat with a gray cat on his shoulder.

Mary remembers that she is mad at him for deserting her. Angry gray cat shuns the boy trying to kiss her.

That J6 guy.

Aaaand there it is.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Shelley was afraid her timesheet would not reflect her hours, so she punched the clock timesheet errywhere.

Quick takes: H5N1 death in Mexico; Kenya cholera outbreak; H5N1 virus in cows, poultry, cats A 3-year-old girl from Mexico recently hospitalized with H5N1 avian flu has died from her infection.

It is unknown how the 3-year-old girl from Mexico who died yesterday from H5N1 was infected. This was also the case with the 13-year-old girl who suffered very severe disease from the virus in Canada in late 2024. Unknown routes of exposure are always concerning.
