Everyday is #Caturday.
A pensive black cat curls up in a low cardboard crate, one golden eye staring into the distance. The cat is slightly too large for the confines of the box. Is he pondering man's inhumanity to man?

Tweet from Eric Garland. Here's my advice for the new year: Be yourself without reservation. Say what you really mean. Fight like hell. And do the right thing at any cost. In 2025, leave everything you have on the field of battle. Fear nothing except regret. Give your ancestors something to brag about. This is the year.

Black and white image of a hard boiled egg that weirdly looks like an eye...which was funnier when Twitter offered a cartoon egg as an avatar for new members A black & white photo of clear plastic bags encasing black concentric circles roughly the same shape as the egg/eye photo, only disorganized and strange.
