Truly one of the most *laughably impotent* things I’ve ever heard anyone in this administration say.
My dude, EVERY DAY the snarky assholes are (re)writing your Wikipedia bio. They will be doing it the day after you die, and on and on.

If your state typically votes blue, then the GOP and Trump have declared a hot war against you.

Just a quick example: I have nothing against Taylor Swift, but she really does look like a human Barbie to me. To my daughter, Taylor Swift is just “a typical girl.”
For me? As a Gen X kid? This is what a typical girl—a seriously hot girl—always looked like: Kim Deal of The Breeders

We just got a new kitten (normally we adopt from shelters but I found this one outside of our local Home Depot) and I can’t understand why anyone would be pissy about cats?

Freya Update:
We’ve now had her for 7 days. She has probably just hit 6 wks old. Last night she weighed in at exactly 16oz.
She’s active, funny, very sweet, likes toys, and has developed an enormous appetite.
So far she’s getting along well with the preexisting dog and cat!

Mini Freya Update:
* She’s eating more, now that we’ve learned that she wants her food on a small plate and *not* in a teeny, tiny, shallow bowl.
* The pellet litter is better, because she doesn’t try to eat it.
* The pellet litter is still not acceptable for peeing or pooping. For that she

Probably not smart to get too attached, considering that she’s not yet eating and the vet hasn’t checked her out, but here she is:

I have, I think, a first edition. This is a photo of the cover and the spine. It was in the discard pile of my JCC library…you can see why it caught my eye. When I realized what it was I couldn’t let it go.

I teach Jewish history in to 6th graders in a Hebrew school. And this photo could stand in for many scenes from what I teach (or for that matter, movies like “Prince of Egypt” and “The Ten Commandments”).
It’s a photo taken today, of Palestinians returning on foot to Gaza.
That should bother us.
