UPDATE, FOUR MONTHS LATER: Now they beat each other’s asses daily and nap peacefully on either side of me. Charlie still eats separately from Polly because he steals her food.

I was meeting with a director over Zoom today. I put my headphones in & my laptop started randomly playing the unedited audio of a toothpaste voiceover audition file. I screamed like my soul was exiting my anus & slammed the laptop shut. In conclusion, I can be booked via DDO Artists or RBEL. 🙏🏻

Okay this is also true
Cats would be monarchists... each one would want their own kingdom with serfs aka my house with 8 monarchs but only 2 serfs

Okay this is also true
This is absolutely correct.
Cats are fascists. I love them, but they are fascists. Dogs are the real do-gooders.
November 6, 2025 at 5:42 PM
This is absolutely correct.
One of the two feline models with whom I dwell. This is Charlie Chicago Catman, adopted from a cat rescue organization originally founded by a nun to care for animals while their elderly or ill owners received in-patient care…which is the most Chicago backstory I can imagine for a nonprofit.

I've waited my whole life to hear a New York mayor say things like this
"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Zohran Mamdani quoting Mario Cuomo in his acceptance speech is nasty work and I love it. The Sicilian in me bows to his killer instinct.

This is what happens when you have a candidate who is a former hip-hop artist. Well versed in the art of burying adversaries.
