A large, goofy cat. Joyous. Playful. Loving. Full of opinions.

He was a gentle giant. He loved his life, he loved his people.
He loved to talk, he loved his first toy, always. He loved to eat.

🚀 Liftoff! At 04:11:45.459 UTC on November 25, Long March 2F Y22 launched Shenzhou-22 spacecraft from Jiuquan. This marks a historic first: the spacecraft is launching uncrewed to meet astronauts waiting in orbit. In place of a crew, Shenzhou-22 is carrying essential resupplies to the space station.

Since Star Wars is trending today, a good time to rewatch this fantastic speech from Andor. Almost like it has some relevance to the current state of things.

I hate that like the internet has nuked people's brains, I saw someone bitching about "why is the President ALWAYS! like 90!"

Obama was in his 40s, so was Bill Clinton, W was 54, just in the last 10 years have Presidents been old (and people could have voted for the 59 year old)

There is no more important job for a parent than protecting their children. The rage I have for people letting their babies die from whooping cough to lean into conspiracy and stupidity. Enough already.

Maybe the next generation will set its sights on solving systemic problems instead of “My burrito is at a restaurant, but I’m all cozy here so, can a guy with a medical degree from another country bring it to me.” We’ve got that covered, and then some.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Please tell me you understand what a huge responsibility we all have to vote in the US.

It’s our voice. It’s our choice. It’s the power we have as a people.

Vote.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.
