Retiree. My cats run my life. They could do a better job of it, but they're cats. 😸 Also a long-time Detroit Lions fan. I don't blame my cats for that. Hello to any #UglyDogs from the old place. I'm not here to see how many followers I can get.

I don't know what he was thinking. He kept jumping at me, kind of growling, but it was pretty obvious one or both of us was going to get hurt.

Gonna take a lot of burning sage to purify that house.

And how does he, WH staffer, afford a house like that? Maybe they cashed in between terms.

I read the first word of this post and thought it said "Kaline". Bad case of baseball brain is what I've got. ⚾🧠

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

I also learned to not ride a bicycle around him. Holy crap, that was almost a disaster, for both of us. 😄

I learned that with my old dog Boomer. I'd read somewhere that chasing is playtime to a dog, and if you chase them, they're just having a great time. The trick is to run the other direction, because chasing their human is also fun! And they always catch us! Joke's on them.

Ha! This week's Slow Horses was a hoot. Not as great as last week's, but still pretty damn good.

And James Callis, who played Gaius Baltar on Battlestar Galactica, continues to play Gaius Baltar on Battlestar Galactica except now he's the head of MI5. Just excellent weaselry.

Maybe not just me. I just heard on WWJ AM news radio that the Tigers-Mariners Game Five was the most-watched baseball playoff game in 14 years.

Upon reflection, I realize now that I was bored by last night's baseball game because a 15-inning elimination game really spoiled me.

Even a 9-inning one run game would be fine! 1-0, 13-12, anything! 😄

Well, it's starting to look like a West Coast World Series. Jeez, an actual complete game from a pitcher!

For me, it's just the nonsense of wearing a jacket over chain mail. But I think that, editorially, Marvel was looking for some kind of unifying element for each Avenger.

I'm starting to read it just now, and I admire the format of the dedication and table of contents. I mean, how could you not?

Charles Bryan, Part-Time Cat Bed @charleshbryan.bsky.social · 23h

I'd ask if it's also "farm to table", but I might be afraid of the answer. 🐐

I'm really looking forward to how the Pistons do this year. Last season was encouraging, but I think that you've identified the key concerns and opportunities.

Oh, that is tough news. I hope that all will turn out well! Love to you and Priya!

Cena was on my mind because I was thinking of this PSA he did several years ago:

John Cena cracks me up. Who knew he was a foodie? Maybe a bit of a coffee snob?

Me, if coffee doesn't have a bug floating in it, I'm good.

I'm fully aware that Sinatra is, shall we say, a "problematic messenger" for many people, but this should just simply be an ad. A "What is America?" series.

There are a lot of scenes from old movies like this that would make pretty effective messages.

It says something for Neal that when his old DC stories were digitized he had them re-colored to look more contemporary. Doesn't work in every panel, but overall it's a nice addition.

I was just reading an article on the Yahoo! Sports app and saw an recruiting ad for 🧊.

In Spanish.

Make of that what you will.
