So, not particularly unpopular within his party, nor the out party. Harris, on the other hand was REALLY polarizing in VP job approval numbers.

I do enjoy the idea of everybody pulling out a chart: "Im actually her first cousin, once removed. That person over there is your second cousin. Oh, her? You are not related to her at all, she is your grandfather's 3rd wife. Nope, not related to her grandchildren in any way. It is really simple!"

I was sorry to hear that Biden, a political neophyte with only 36 years in the Senate and 12 in the WH, did not know how things work and was unfamiliar with how things went for Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, another Bush, and Obama when their numbers softened.

Me to the critter guy: "I have a woodchuck who hangs out on my front path eating my border plants."

"No, maybe you dont know what a woodchuck is. It must be a raccoon or a little gopher."

Me: "Then I have an enormous gopher the size of a well fed cat."

Rain (Jung Ji Hoon) - he’s a KPop star - posted about how his BMI says he’s pre-obese when he got some canned rec from his Dr about “working out more regularly.”

It does sound like a lot! And it is a strange time to mulch (idk maybe if you were dealing with grass loss under pedestrian traffic?) but I think about 500 cubic yards could cover a football field at standard thickness. So yeah… not really that much mulch.

Yes - when you click into the article there is no gender difference in the top 3 choices. The difference in genders emerges when you interact it with presidential vote. Among all male respondents it goes to option ⅞.

She wore a ruffle white top over shorts with lace shorts and boots. Do you have that outfit? Then you know you will match :)

When mine falls off the internet it is not bad. But I do like being able to cycle it from afar as my cat has figured out if she goes in pretty continuously she can scare it from taking her things.

My cat is VERY demonstrative especially when she is clearly satisfied I have ejected a guest.
August 8, 2025 at 7:44 PM
I mean… they have done that.

Yeah, I don’t think they get rid of Carson without putting Spartz and Shreve at risk though, right? They had to shore both up already.

My cat stares off in to the middle distance as she plans to move in with the closest neighbor without a dog
