Awww enjoy! I have a tabby whose attention span for fetch consistently outlasted mine when she was a kitten. She’s 13 now and doesn’t do it as much, but she’ll still drop her fave pompom on my lap and headbutt me when she has the senior kitty level of zoomies.

The violence that caused his death is a direct product of his own life’s work. There is no “other side” to this. Also, his violent rhetoric was lazy and riddled with logical fallacies. That’s not debate or discourse. That you find it interesting is a “you” problem.

I think I started from a different point in up-thread. I’m not arguing anything inconsistent with this. We can do stuff on our own, and also engage our pandemic apocalypse team, and also scale to neighborhood/community. I grew up where that was required to get by.
