Feral cat Tux demonstrates his ability to wipe his nose with his tongue.

#cat
A tuxedo cat with orange eyes stares off to the left of the camera while his tongue takes a swipe at his nose. A blue sky and trees in the background suggest the cat is outdoors, and the chicken wire and wooden beams suggest an outdoor cat enclosure.

Lovely ad placement.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the politics subreddit with the title, “Trump attends another extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago as thousands, including government employees, hit food banks: ‘the lavish event which features a three-course menu of beef filet, truffle dauphinoise, pan-seared scallops and a trio of desserts including “Trump chocolate cake”. Below this is a promoted ad from Helper_Brand that reads, “Why is everyone eating Hamburger Helper again?”

Here’s Dude for #caturday
He used to live in a junkyard. Now he splays out so he can get belly rubs. I don’t make the rules.
A black and white Tuxedo cat reclines atop a couch with a brown quilted cover. He’s on his left side with his left rear paw splayed out so you can see his slightly bald pouch. His right paw is curled under, almost like he’s holding onto the couch but he’s in no danger of falling. He’s staring at the picture taker like he doesn’t understand why this photo is so amazing.

A brief guide to wearing an #inflatable:
A thread.
On the left, a white inflatable unicorn with a purple horn, pink muzzle, blue eyes, and purple hooves holds a cardboard sign that says, “Unicorns for democracy” in bubble letters. The word unicorns is in rainbow and the words for and democracy are white. On the right, a brown inflatable squirrel holds a sign with white bubble letters that says “squirrels for democracy”. A donut sticker covers the face of the unicorn and a tomato sticker covers the face of the squirrel.

Yesterday we harvested the rest of the veggies in anticipation of a frost, and this thing came out to say hi. We hadn’t seen any worms all season until yesterday.
A giant, squishie, multi-segment green worm reminiscent of the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland, hanging from the top of a green tomato plant.

Today’s t shirt 💜
A grey t shirt with a hand drawn orange cat whose tongue is sticking out. The cat’s features are exaggerated, with one eye huge and the other small, and its “cheeks” are puffed up. The cat’s hairs stick out in all directions. Under the tongue, the word “THBBFT!” is written to mimic the sound you make when you blow a raspberry at someone. Berkeley Breathed is the artist - he draws Bloom County featuring this particular cat named Bill.

A six panel comic. Panel one: man, sitting at a table, says, “I’m exhausted”, woman standing next to him asks, “coffee?” Panel two: man says, “yes please” and woman replies, “say when” Panel three: woman pours and cup is dangerously full Panel four: woman keeps pouring. Coffee overflows from cup onto table Panel five: coffee has filled the room and is halfway up the man’s torso. He says when. Panel six: woman has coffee up to her waist and is holding the carafe. Man faceplants into coffee pool.

On my wall 😂
A sticker with a dark brown background and tan letters that says don’t tell anyone but this sticker is actually Odo. It features a female-ish looking character with very short dark hair holding a finger to her lips in a “shh” motion. She has an earring and cuff on her right ear and her nose isn’t quite human (it’s Major Kira from Star Trek Deep Space Nine).

No thoughts, just derp.
A cat with lots of white on her front which makes you think she’s a cow when she’s actually a tuxedo because the rest of her is very black lays on her right side on a very hair covered black dish towel on top of a black countertop. Her right ear is folded over and her yellow green eyes are staring at the camera. Both paws are bent and her voluminous floof makes her looks quite round.

He’s thinking about causing problems. Or treats.
Maybe both.
A tabby rests his chin and paw on a leg that is covered with a black blanket printed with orange, red, yellow, and purple skulls. His eyes are mostly open, his paw gripping the blanket, as he contemplates 42. His left ear is missing its tip, signifying he is neutered and was part of an outdoor feral colony.

I live with 7 cats and care for ferals so every day is #cat day. But here’s Tux, the not so feral feral, enjoying a belly rub yesterday.

Nothing clever to say about this photo, just thought it was cool to see an eagle hanging out this morning.
An eagle sitting on a dead-ish tree branch above everything. Green treetops are below it, and the sky is a greyish color with some orange clouds due to smoke spilling over from fires on the western slope. There is a house visible in the bottom right corner.

An important part of healing after a hip replacement is having a cat lay on the ice pack while purring.
A tuxedo cat lays on a dish towel that covers an ice pack on the right hip of a human wearing shorts and a blue lightweight hoodie (whose pocket bulges with cat treats and may or may not be impacting why the cat is choosing to lay as he is). The cat is purring.

So I know vibes coding is now a thing - apparently now we have vibes investing.

TL;dr
Mira Murati from OpenAI just got $2Billion in seed money for a company she made six months ago with no demo or revenue. The company was given a $12Billiom valuation.
A LinkedIn post from Emily Lyons that reads, “A woman just raised the biggest seed round ever - $2 billion, with no product. Just revenue. No demo. Just vision. Just conviction. Just Mira. Mira Murati, ex-OpenAI CTO, just secured $2B for her six month old startup at a $12B valuation. Announced last week, this isn’t just a record, it’s a reset on what’s investable. Here’s why it’s massive: $2B seed round, the biggest ever $12B valuation, founded in 2025 Mission: safer, human-first AI for all Backed by a16z, NVIDiA, AMD, Accel But here’s why they said yes: Mira built the AI we use daily - ChatGPT, DALL-E, Voice Mode. She’s not pitching hype; she’s delivering history. Now, she’s shaping AI’s future with founder control and a mission driven heart. This isn’t just money. It’s proof vision beats prototypes.

A black and white tuxedo cats sits folded over, his belly protruding with multiple rolls. The lower portion of the belly is devoid of fur due to licking. He looks off to his right, our left, presumably at something more interesting than the photo taker. His ears are upright, his yellow green eyes are wide open, and his whiskers stand at attention to the sides. A wooden shelf behind him features various cat toys, and the window shows glimpses of a stone wall and some Greenery.

I know as humans we are primed to respond to things like this because we like to connect with others.

But if you have any sort of distrust of business or govt I’m going to suggest not sharing personal lore since everything is getting scraped, put into files, and used against us.
“Share a piece of lore about yourself” is written above a stick figure human whose knees are resting on a chair that’s pushed back from a desk, and whose elbows are resting on said desk while the human’s head is propped up by its hands. It stares at a computer screen and smiles.

The not-so-feral cat agrees.

@cola.baby
An overweight tuxedo cat in some kind of mesh and wood enclosure lays on a wooden shelf. A sticker of a well-known orange cat with the text “all cats are beautiful” rests against him. The cat is giving some major side-eye to the picture taker, implying he is over her bullshit.

He’s doing quite fine - thanks for asking :)
An overweight tabby lays on his side showing off a shaved belly with visible staples. He’s curled up on a bed in a pink, purple, orange, and black blanket, and a human being’s foot and calf are serving as a barrier/support for him.

Here’s a photo of Dude enjoying a sunbeam. Cats rule everything around me (and keep me from screaming constantly at the state of Things).

This is useful.
A screenshot showing a notification from Prime Video stating one of more of your downloads will expire on Tuesday, May 20. The date on the phone shows it’s June 1.

Went to a Cinco de Mayo festival yesterday and the bikes always get me.
A silver and teal trike with a teal velvet banana seat with pink fringe that has a teal seat for two people behind it. The handle is braided silver. It rests upon a black carpet with fake rhinestones, and the two sets of wheels are on pink fuzzy carpet. This picture is outside and there are two people walking on the grass behind the trike, and there is a booth behind the trike as well. Green grass in the photo, too. The main focus is a pink trike with silvery/white Minnie decals all over it. The handlebars are longer than usual and braided silver. A purple seat big enough for two is on the back part of the trike. There is a pink and purple skateboard next to the trike, and a clear plastic guardrail protecting all of it from spectators. The trike sits on black carpet to protect it from the grass. There is a bright yellow trike in the background that also has a skateboard next to it. This is a pink Hello Kitty themed bicycle. The banana seat has plush fabric, and there are rear view mirrors hanging off the handlebars. The back of the bike has a custom Hello Kitty wearing baggy jeans and a pink bandana. The front of the bike has white hearts painted on the pink frame. The bike sits on the grass next to pink fabric held down with mirrors.
