It's like they're inside my house watching

Cute orange cat tilting their head and looking adorable. Text says "Having cats is like babysitting drunk friends. Someone's always hungry, puking, yelling, picking fights and then, 15 minutes later, they're back for cuddles like nothing happened."

NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

Things are so much better in the garden.

Thank you for telling the truth. America needs those health benefits NOT bailouts for billionaires.

I'm so sorry. It's always a blow. Sending you some healing vibes.

Can we impeach Johnson? Maybe get someone with a brain to replace him?

Oh yeah - "this" is a dystopian h*llscape of a city. 🙄

This sounds boring and sad. You'd think a billionaire would get a bit more fun out of life.

Batman talking to Catwoman "Surrender, Catwoman - your nefarious plan to flood the secret worldwide web of computers with pictures of cats will never work"

This is right out of Charlie's playbook. He had a list of college professors that he targeted as too woke and fed to his followers to harass and intimidate, mostly black, women and trans.

I'm gonna guess he got his degree from Trump University

It's not that hard to train AI but to train it WELL takes nuance, experience, bias checking, and constant feedback. That's expensive - no one wants expensive. They want magic

It didn't used to be horrible. This is what happens when the GOP gets in power.

Believe me when I tell you TX is gerry mandered to the point that democratic voting is destroyed. Popular votes showed 52% in TX voted against Chump. We're an object lesson. The longer Repubs stay in power the harder to get them out

Why aren't health insurance companies weighing in on this? Or have they decided that they can make a financial killing by raising premiums for all and declining coverage for the unvaxxed .

Insurance companies have probably already drawn up the tables on how high they can push the premiums for unvaccinated people. And how much coverage they can decline on unvaccinated illnesses. They're probably salivating over the projections.

"studying" We wish.

Crivens Givens @crivens24.bsky.social · Sep 7

Ah but is it the right flavor, temperature, and position in the bowl? Because mine would fall on turkey pate like a ravening wolf until suddenly they were starving but not for that flavor.

Crivens Givens @crivens24.bsky.social · Sep 6

They found out rage baiting worked for their base. But you can't just post forever. Their base demanded "action". They've backed themselves into a corner. It looks like they'll follow this downward spiral to destruction before they'd admit they are wrong.

Every day another reminder of what we could have been and how far we are falling.

The gun manufacturer's saw a potential loss in sales and potential impact to gun safety controls so they activated their NRA meat puppets.

Crivens Givens @crivens24.bsky.social · Sep 6

OMG - it didn't even take a day for the NRA (AKA gun manufacturer's puppets) to decry a possible loss of sales.
