This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

In the 19th & early 20th-centuries, the US saw massive financial panics roughly every twenty years (1819, 1837, 1857, 1873, 1893, 1907, 1929).
In many ways, 2008 was very similar to those earlier bubble-burst disasters – hence the big regulatory response…which MAGA has now undone/rolled back.

College cats of Oxford
Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

There are currently TWENTY THREE Great Pyr mixes at the Oregon Humane Society available for adoption, rescued from a huge neglect case out in Polk County. If you’ve ever wanted a LORG fren for your family, you can’t do much better than Pyrs.

I remember seeing a story years ago where a prison cook was caught having stolen $1.2 million of fajitas over 9 years.
One week he took off sick, someone else answered the order call and was like "what are you talking about? We don't serve fajitas."

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.
Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.
It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!
