The best part of my “I don’t get into arguments and have a relationship with my block button approach?” Smiting people is an excellent stress management tool ;)

Religious liberals- we need to be pushing back the same way Talarico is doing here.

Hold your fellow Christians to the proverbial fire.
Oh my.

James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists.

Get this man in the Senate.

If you’ve never read In Cold Blood- by Truman Capote, it’s a must read. It’s THE book that straddles the line of fiction and nonfiction.
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Nutsy modeling his Thanksgiving themed shirt. He’s got feline hyperesthesia. The dental issue has caused a massive flare in symptoms. The shirt provides light compression and helps him feel more comfortable.

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

Regarding the Federal Subpoena Incident today, let me remind you once again that this website is 100% public, open source, and yes, both Bluesky, the federal government, and God knows who else do in fact “keep the logs.”

Short version- we’ve earned a dental on Dec 3, with possible bonus tooth extractions. This is a great practice with specialized tools and approaches.

Best news, he’s got pain management that’s working.

He also charmed the pants off of the vet and the techs.

Everyone should know their rights, their perils; and how to use the former to reduce the latter.
Hey, friend, it is time to do Future You a very huge favor: stop saying literally anything about this online, especially speculating what it might be about or what the grand jury might be looking at. If you think you know what it's about, no you don't.

Using your non lethal round firearm to bash in a car window is a choice.
This is bullshit! What are the charges?

📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

So Nutsy’s appointment is this morning. Thing good pain management thoughts. I have a feeling I’m going to have to poke a few vets today and I’m displeased.

we are subject to a plague of TRASHY people who absolutely REVEL in wallowing like fatted hogs in their gilded-gold trash-heaps, and by God, I am sick and tired of it
this tawdry Olivia Nuzzi stuff highlights why I’m turning into a small-c conservative with regards to “it is unseemly and shameful for people in positions of power and influence to subject the public to their messy-ass sex nonsense on a constant basis”

Thanks to @empirepoduk.bsky.social I learned about the Haitian Revolution. I also learned that they paid for their freedom and that debt took 122 years to pay off. Which is a big chunk of why Haiti struggles economically.

History matters.
I want to watch a six-part series on the Haitian Revolution 😕

After a VERY long weekend, I finally got a pain management setup that has Nutsy back to his happy, chirpy self.

Y’all, he hadn’t purred since Thursday. It was alarming
November 17, 2025 at 4:00 PM
Nutsy has opinions on the game

Okay so Mom and the Sibling have decided they want to do a “casserole type something that just goes in the oven” for thanksgiving dinner.

Ideas/suggestions?

Want to bet that he left Chicago because he knew the judge was going to whack him with a contempt charge?
SOMEONE: Fuck you!

BOVINO: That’s not very nice.

THE MOST MOM VOICE YOU’VE EVER HEARD: Well, are you doing nice things?
Bovino is taking part in CBP detentions in Charlotte. dickfc_w_l on TikTok.

Nutsy would like everyone to know he’s not a happy cat.

Which he is sharing with the household in a VERY strident tone.
