The American shutdown has ended. The rest of the world will now see the vengeance of a child president, who will punish anyone they can, especially the most vulnerable.

Oh what a difference six months can make. Glad we have these pictures. Today and at the end of May. Our kittens.

I think the estate of Robert Heinlein should sue Elon Musk for misrepresenting the term, "Grok".

Trump's "answer" to autism was nothing of the sort. I wonder what Tylenol did that pissed off the baby president? 👶

They about her call for a "national divorce", the deep polarisation of the country and the assumptions each side makes about the other.

Watching last night's "Real Time with Bill Maher". (I live in Canada: TV is always late.) Saw Marjorie Taylor Greene. Surprised she didn't wear the horns or the tail... but then it was Halloween. She was right more than i expected. Apparently not all Republicans are afraid of King Trump.

Elon Musk says Grokipedia will "purge out the propaganda" from sites like Wikipedia. Which is a TRULY frightening statement. Musk's concept of "propaganda" is very different from mine.

It's all about money. And as far as most Americans are concerned, if they're not paying it's not an issue for them. They won't recognize the threat until it's too late.
It already might be.

Trump doesn't like the truth.
This is why American conservatives don't like history.
Trump is the international equivalent of a schoolyard bully.

I love the kittens, #SmokeAndFluff. But they do get into places they're not supposed to go. We have to kitten-proof the house a little better. Half an hour ago they broke one of my lamps, tearing around the house.
Now they're quiet.
Preparing for bed.
Good night, Bluesky.

We used to let our cats out, but not for two decades. We make sure they have enough stimulation and things to explore that they manage fine. The kittens were outdoor strays until they came home with us.

I remember reading about the felling of the Sycamore Gap Tree two years ago. Such vandalism is awful, but popular among some "men". Glad they have been punished... and the tree is showing signs of continued life.

Trump must've loved that scene in "Titanic" where Leonardo yelled, "I'm king of the world!"
He's trying to do the same thing to us, and lots of Americans support him.
Don't let it happen.

For JD Vance, the "right thing" is to make the poor suffer even more after they've been exploited by the rich, all in favour of profit.
I have to admit I'm rather speechless with disgust. Modern Americans don't even pretend ti belive in equality anymore.
