Our torture laying on not my lap using not my wrist as a pillow.

I overhear it is Cat Lady Day
So here's another cat photo
My cat, but not MY cat.

Palantir on X: "Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel" / X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel

Palantir is a menace to society. Its "Manifesto" reads like a very bad Hollywood science fiction dystopia movie.

That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.

What a time to be alive......

Josh Molina for the win!

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

A cat that looks like a red panda. Or.......is it a red panda that looks like a cat?

If anyone would like to see a photo of a cat that wishes it was a red panda, this is your lucky day.

I know we are so far past the point of even pointing this out but it is wild that the fbi director is threatening to sue people over a news article

Trump always loudly says he won't help the Russians and then very quietly does just the opposite.

Screenshot of The Sick Times article. Headline: “I developed Long COVID while practicing medicine. The system had no place for me.” Written by Mustafa Talat, April 17, 2026. Image shows three side-by-side photos of the same person wearing protective medical gear, including a mask, goggles, and hooded suit. The central image is clearer, while the two on either side are tinted blue. Caption reads: Photo courtesy of Mustafa Talat.

"I developed Long COVID while practicing medicine. The system had no place for me"

"6 years later, COVID-19 continues spreading, killing, and disabling people, but many of my colleagues ignore it. Last December, a colleague said, “We can’t keep doing this. COVID is basically over”

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

This is both

(1) some of the most important SCOTUS reporting ever, and

(2) far too generous to the Republican justices in framing of many pieces and omissions of Trump-era developments

If you kill your wife, you don't get to be a husband anymore Some lessons from the media coverage of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer's murders.

My latest.

I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

You’re her killer.

Fluffy black and white cat with white whiskers and an adorable pink nose looking a bit worried from his boring beige cat bed

Having a difficult week.
Happy Caterday all. Yes, this tiny habit of sharing photos helps me a little.

Deaths of migrants in ICE custody hit record high under Trump Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data.

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

a yelling RFK Jr denies making comments about Black children that Rep. Sewell printed out and put on a placard

🤨🤨

Lived it. Absolutely true

yeah it is critical that dems win the senate

Stevens to RFK Jr: "To top it off, Mr Secretary, I got a copy of HR-944. You know what it is? It's your impeachment articles, sir. You have abused your office, you have gutted America's public health! You should be ashamed."

Among a mountain of bad-faith factual claims and frivolous constitutional arguments, Eastman's ultimate plan was for VP Pence (or Sen. Grassley) to *knowingly violate the Electoral Count Act* and let SCOTUS block any subsequent lawsuits on political question grounds. Just shit from start to finish.

BUT we do use OTHER bear resistant trash options around Colorado public spaces with relatively great success. (Thinking of the easy systems around Estes Park and within RMNP) Because easy access sources to wildlife create havoc.

Found out today that sea world is getting sued for banning rollators.
Good!
Let me remind you all: you can't just swap one mobility aid for another! The type serves different needs and when the person can afford to the individual aid is personalized to best fit that individual!

White House investigating wave of missing or dead scientists A number of scientists with ties to advanced research have died or disappeared in recent years, sparking speculation online.

Ten top aerospace scientists dead or missing since 2024. I don’t believe these are UFO abductions or interference. I do believe it may be plain old espionage that this stupid administration is totally inept at dealing with or just doesn’t care about. 🙏💔
