In my head I like to imagine this is KitKat that Zohran is holding, the cat who lives with Denver councilman Jolon Clark. KitKat went viral a few years ago for catte civic engagement when Councilman Clark championed a ban on declawing in Denver.
Zohran Mamdani holding a bodega cat in NYC. Quote reads, “When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction.” Mark Twain

Few things in life are better than snuggling Bertie on the couch.

The Temptations-wanter has logged on
Bertie is a domestic shorthair cat with lynx point coloring and light blue eyes. He lounges on the carpet next to his treats station, looking expectantly at his human to provide Temptations treats, which he goes so apeshit for that he growls while he eats them.

I only got a handful of photos at the Rusty Scupper in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The finest meal I have ever had. We both got stuffed shrimp, which were 5 incredibly large shrimp topped with mini crab cakes and served with a decadent beurre sauce.
Table at Baltimore's Rusty Scupper restaurant. A glass of sangria, a bread basket, and a plate of stuffed shrimp served with haricots verts and sauces. Nighttime view across Baltimore's Inner Harbor from our table at the Rusty Scupper. Beautiful lights reflected in the water. Evening view of the interior of the Rusty Scupper restaurant. Wood paneled ceiling with heavy timber beams and columns, twinkling mood lighting, and the bar is visible in the background.

One of the amazing crab cakes I had in Baltimore. This was at Phillips in the Inner Harbor.
Table of two dishes at Phillip's Seafood. One plate contains an enormous crab cake in a hot cast iron pan accompanied by roasted asparagus and sauce. The other plate contains the Crab Imperial dish in a small cast iron ramekin, served with asparagus and mashed potatoes.

Haha god I'm so grateful I have the sweetest kitty in the world who politely lets me sleep, only scratches on his scratchys, and chirps at me at 7:00pm nightly to ask for his evening Churu. NFC how dog people can do it.
Bertie, a handsome domestic shorthair cat with lynx point silver tabby coloring and blue eyes, sits next to his scratchy on the living room rug.

Tizzyent quoting jeanie.online: "The part that people are missing is that they're doing official communications on Signal to avoid those communications being retained. There are Project 2025 training videos that specifically recommended this type of thing as a way to avoid subpoenas. Our government is using 3rd party software to discuss OPSEC, NOFORN, and Top Secret levels of communication in avenues that do not retain data. They can stage a total takeover of the US and there will be no evidence through any official channels." Tizzyent: "This! This is the part that should have every news organization and every politician who actually wants to put country over Trump shouting from the rooftops."

Treated myself to some sushi after closing on my new house
Hapa sushi roll with smoked salmon, rolled in rich cream sauce, battered, and deep-fried. It was amazing Hapa Caterpillar sushi roll, with freshwater eel and topped with avocado. Plate is garnished with a fresh orchid bloom and microplaned radish. Hapa house salad with sesame-ginger dressing and garnished with grated carrot and sesame seeds
