It's really very hard to overstate just how deeply bad it is that
Trump is now openly talking about deporting millions of more people to El Salvador, including US citizens.
Screenshot of BBC News feed reporting on the meeting between Trump and the president of El Salvador. Trump is quoted as saying he plans to deport "as many people as possible" a number in the millions. Shortly thereafter he says he'd like to "go after home grown criminals".

From my balcony in Lillehammer (although colors were much fainter without camera long exposure and I was too cozy to go find a better viewing place lol)
Green and purple northern lights. A balcony rail can be seen in the foreground.

Truly revolutionary stuff here 🤣
"There are other things I need Humane to address via software updates ASAP. The fact that it's AI sometimes decides not to do what I ask, like telling me "your AI Pin is already running smoothly, no need to restart" when I asked it to restart is not only surprising but limiting" -the Engadget review of what is, apparently, a budget HAL9000.

Mine pulled off this a few years back 😆
A small grey tabby with her butt on a shelf, her front paws on a cat tree, and her belly dangling in the air between them.

The app wouldn't let me pay a pic before, but here's mine on night two being guarded by its dutiful golem
A menorah with 3 candles lit for night two of Hannukah. It has a few years worth of wax drippings in different colors accumulated. There is a small clay golem in front of it, and some dreidels off to the side.

The changing of the guard.
Two cats are on a cat tree overlooking a window. One cat is grey and white and has just jumped up to the top level. The other cat is black and white and is turning and stepping down to make room for the first cat.

The cats are sharing 🐱🐱
Two very fluffy cats are sitting on different levels of the same cat tree. They are both looking out the window, probably at a bird. Warm sunlight reflects off their fuzzy faces.

Extra Large serving of BEANS!!
Close up of a very fluffy grey and white cat waving his giant polydactyl paws in the air as he gets a belly rub. You can see his pink toe beans and white toe fuzz. Most of his face is hidden but what looks like a small smile is visible behind a paw.

Just stare at this diagram until you feel your brain leaking out of your ears. That was my strategy (it did not work)
Chart showing declension of the German definite articles, der, die, and das. Helpfully color coded so you can see at a glance how little sense it makes.

He is astonishingly soft! My theory is that he is part cloud ☁️
An extremely soft and fluffy cat.

Here in Norway, a polydactyl cat is called a skipskatt (ship's cat) because supposedly their extra toes helped them holding onto tilty ships!
Anyway, here's my skipskatt Poncho.
A gray and white long haired cat sleeping with his large mitten-like paws sticking out in front of him. One of his "thumbs" is clearly visible.

They are both judging me in their own way.
Two very fluffy cats are looking at the camera. The older one is sitting and has a stern, knowing expression. The younger one is crouching and has a wide-eyed, slightly freaked out expression.

The most majestic creature.
A long hair cat in the "paint me like one of your French girls" pose and his tongue out because he is grooming. He is in a sunbeam like a spotlight.
