Antifa block captain. Bicyclist. Cat lover. COYS, Hook 'em Horns and Let's Play Two. Loves semicolons. Twice voted for a woman president; twice disappointed.
Flaca, the Queen of the Castle, has found a sun puddle and is lazily licking her paw, then bathing behind her ear.

It's times like these, when she acts as if she's two years old, rather than twenty, that warm my heart. 🖤

Freddie saw that his favorite blanket and favorite pillow were unoccupied, so he jumped onto the sofa and was asleep within 60 seconds. I envy him.

Epstein videotaped everything. If and when all the files, photos, and videos are publicly released, they're going to make the latest episode of South Park look like... well... a low-budget cartoon.

Adelita Grijalva: "I wanted to get to work seven weeks ago, but this pint-size prick wouldn't let me!"

Now that she's been sworn in, and signed the discharge petition, let's see those Epstein files, the photos in particular!

Happy Veterans Day to all the men and women who wore the uniform! A heartfelt "thank you" for your service!

And a hearty "fuck you" to those (looking at you, Donnie Bone Spurs) who avoided service when our country was at war.

Bet on it. After last night's blue tsunami, Stephen Miller is devising a plan to cancel the 2026 midterms.

Create a crisis, declare a national state of emergency, then shutter the polling places. It's as easy as ein, zwei, drei.

Dick Cheney, de facto president
from 2001 to 2009, has died.

I say good riddance.

On this date in 2016, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians, 8-7, in ten innings, to win Game 7 of the World Series. It was the Cubs' third championship and first since 1908.

And it happened in my lifetime.

Sissy decided to hang with me while I watched college football today. She supports all cat teams (Houston Cougars, LSU Tigers and so on). Oddly, she sits up and chirps whenever a bird team is on the screen.

I early-voted today. I said "nay" to almost all of the proposed constitutional amendments, reasoning that, if the Texas Legislature thinks something is a good idea, for most people, it probably isn't.

Fight the plutocracy!

I love Diane Keaton in "Looking for Mr. Goodbar." Such a daring performance. Whenever I watch it, part of me hopes it will end differently.

Freddie and I stayed up late last night, watching a 15-inning baseball game, so he's sleeping in this morning.

Something else that will stick in Trump's cloven hooves:

Al Gore and the IPCC won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for their efforts to educate the world about man-made climate change.

And the score remains:

Obama 1

Autumn has a beautiful coat and beautiful eyes and loves to get scratches first thing in the morning. She's a little... um... chonkier than the other cats, but that just means there's more of her to love.

This is how it's done.

Canadian PM Mark Carney and his wife Diana attended the #WRWC final in London today.

The Carneys wore bright red Team Canada jerseys. Can you imagine Donald Trump donning a USA soccer or rugby kit? Of course not. Besides, they probably aren't made in his size.
