It's good that the cats probably can't read the calendar, because the rest of the Chewy shipment came today.

I know several pieces of recent news make the outlook of the future look bleak, but please remember two things:
1) you can only flush trillions down the toilet with nominal returns for so long
2) the future they claim to be rock-solid is still very much made of thin glass
Keep making art.

Dr. Leila Denmark co-developed the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine.
World's oldest practicing pediatrician until she retired at age 103 (after 73 yrs). At the time of her death at age 114 & 60 days, she was the 5th-oldest validated living person in the world & 3rd-oldest in the US. #WomenInSTEM

Lucy & Ricky still need their forever home! In Greenwhich, CT, they're a bonded, wobbly (cerebellar hypoplasia) pair but the condition is mild! See vid (3rd "image") on their profile to see their balance. They spent all their lives at shelter. Please share to find them a home! #kitten #rescue #cat

This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

Lilly says hello. She isn't sure if Bailey is a younger cousin of hers. He might be, since they are both strays from the cat distribution system.
But he's definitely a boy and definitely a few years younger.

The camera really can put some weight on you.
Especially if you're a cat with fluffy fur.

This time last year, Bailey was still an adolescent. He was not very social, pretty feral. He has made a lot of progress. This is the best picture so far, because he's not hiding under or behind anything.
He gained weight yes, but the camera angle is making him look more plump.

This can be a very difficult time of year for many people for many reasons.
Just felt like acknowledging that.

Anyway, hi!
It's a snowy day here.
Everything is grey and gloomy looking outside.
Neither us cats nor our human feel like we have much profound to say that hasn't already been said better about the state of affairs in the United States today.
We know it can get better.

This time, I had to clear the data, not just the cache.
So it seems this app needs to have things cleared out a lot more frequently than others do. 🤔

Okay, here’s a picture of Lilly. The lighting is weird. Software updates in the camera are doing weird things. But mainly, I just want to see if it posts because she's very adorable.

There's a danger within our military that not enough people are talking about:
Flight crashes are killing our troops at record rates.
I'm pushing for answers to get to the bottom of this.

Yay, the picture posted. Apparently, just needed to clear the cache in the app even though the error said some stuff about javascript, and whatever whatever.

Huh, I hadn’t thought of the clever hans story as an analogue to AI but it’s a good one
Wilhelm von Osten was a German math teacher, mystic, phrenologist. He also owned a very clever horse he named HANS.
Around 1894, he took his horse on tour, demonstrating his exceptional number sense skills.
van Osten would ask a question: "What is 2 x 6 ?"
Clever Hans would tap his hoof 12 times.
