2 months ago, a stunning British blue (no chip) wandered into our yard and we decided to take her in. At her spay appointment, her vet was like "uh, she's pregnant" to which I frantically asked for a birthing center for cats. And it turns out that birthing center is just the outside.

do you ever stare at the ceiling and think about how the worldwide scientific establishment did the impossible and created a COVID vaccine in under a year and the response of the general public has been to go on an unstoppable rampage to destroy science and scientists

btw did you know you can subscribe to PBS for only like $5/mo or a $60 one-time for a year donation, and get access to their Passport streaming service? They mail you a little live programming guide and everything, too. The 40-something seasons of NOVA alone are worth it.
Donate to your local PBS/NPR stations. It's up to us now.

Pitch: someone calls an anonymous tip into ICE about a house full of illegal immigrants. ICE starts watching the house and decides to do a night raid. The immigrants are all vampires. The vampires called in the tip.

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

It is funny when writers who see writing styles they don't understand and immediately dub it as AI or "bad." I'm seeing this with critique of vertical dramas, which do come from a completely different writing culture than Hollywood. There's a lot of info dumping, unsubtle writing,

One sign Democratic strategists are too old is that they think Joe Rogan (57) is the figurehead of the youth movement, and not, say, 'Shatner's age when he made Final Frontier' or 'Connery's age when he played Indy's dad'.
