The world is on fire in 2025 but in 1987- making notzee heads explode with only the power of one’s mind is possible. Too $hort has an idea for a rap battle. Tom Hanks really wants you to rent a movie that’s actually good. Give Freaky Tales a chance. Chapter 4 will blow your mind

If it crosses the U.S. border illegally, it’s our job to stop it.

Night night 🌙✨✨✨
Luna (a mix - same size as our black lab but caramel coloring, black snout, floppy ears, curly tail, and a white patch on her chest) and June (a black lab) sleeping comfortably as we watch some tv.

Sunday morning snuggles 🥰
Good morning from Luna the dog and Olive the ginger cat. Olive in the foreground and Luna in the background- both orange in coloring and sleeping on the bed.

Best. Friends.
Luna the dog and Bootsie the cat : both in Luna’s kennel. They rest upon 2 comfortable floofy blankets. Luna is stage right and Bootsie is stage left. Just far apart - just close enough together. Best friends.

My little work buddy.
Little Olive. She is an orange cat. Comfort is a state of mind. She sits on my lap as I work but rests her head on the desk possibly micromanaging or possibly wanting me to think that she thinks that I think that she thinks that I think she’s micromanaging me. I think….. Little Ginger kitty Olive: scritches are good, scratches are better. The more that you scratch me the more that I matter. You matter less, your house is a mess, because you obsess, with my happiness. Meow.

The ultimate sadness, the the small lone meow, the hope and the maddness, let me outside now.
No.
Bootsie, the Tuxedo cat. I heard a rap tap tapping upon the glass of the back screen door. There is bird flu. No. The longing look to the fresh outside world. There is bird flu. No. Alas, the pain of rejection. Meow. Bootsie the tuxedo cat: human why have you imprisoned me in yon abode when my only desire is to seek the warmth of the sun. Sit in a window. Like arrows to mine heart. Meow.

Those gathered then laid out 20 solutions for how Democrats can regain working-class trust and reconnect with them culturally. More than a few stuck out to Playbook: • The party should “embrace patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery”; • Democrats should “ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” and “move away from the dominance of small-dollar donors whose preferences may not align with the broader electorate”; •They should “push back against far-left staffers and groups that exert a disproportionate influence on policy and messaging” ; • Candidates should “get out of elite circles and into real communities (e.g., tailgates, gun shows, local restaurants, churches)”; and • The party needs to “own the failures of Democratic governance in large cities and commit to improving local government.”

This is a Belgin- Dutch newspaper “Knack” which was used to “fact check” something I posted on FB about the DOD and Thompson Reuters Special Services LLC which initially was confused with Reuters News outlet…..

Also- I thought FB wasn’t fact checking anymore 🤔

*wink* one more sleep until Friday 💤💤💤💤💤
Bootsie- the tuxedo cat giving a little look back and winking! Majestic whiskers unfurling from his fuzzy white cheeks which turn to black by his eyes (I am Batman) where a few more whiskers pop bright white against black fur. One yellow eye framed by wispy white eyelashes looks straight to the camera as if to say - “ why yes, I do speak French” Bootsie the Tuxedo cat stares wistfully off into the distance a semi- profile of Batman masked elegance. Ears perked and alert with a slightly annoyed countenance as if to counter his previous statement concerning his ability to speak French. “ OK, you got me. I can’t speak French. Pfffffffft. Meow. “

Ah, Mr. Bootsie. How is this even comfortable.
Bootsie the cat. Tuxedo cat with a Batman mask like face marking about to rest his head on my tattooed arm. Bootsie the cat. Tuxedo cat, resting his little chin on my tattooed arm.

Night night✨✨✨✨✨
Bootsie is a tuxedo cat. He has a black “mask” over his ears and eyes, a black nose, and lower jaw. The white fur starts at the bridge of his nose and fills out his cheeks and chest. He is sleeping curled up in my lap on an earth tone multicolored blanket. His visible paw is white with a small black freckle near a black boarder perfectly starting at his “elbow”. His eyes are closed and my hand is gently resting on his side.

Snuggle interrupted
June the dog. Black lab with white jaw and one Oreo looking paw. A white paw with black spots. She looks forlorn. June the dog. Exasperated disappointment and side eye. Luna the dog - a mix we still have not identified laying on her back rests her head on June’s Oreo paw as if to say- “ I’m here now. Suck it. “ While June’s side eye looks yearningly at Pappa as if to say “ why. Why does this always happen. It is stupid and I just wanted to snuggle” end scene.
