He's had such a hard day. (His day has consisted entirely of eating a lying next to me on the couch.)

A new service called Objector is offering "policy-backed objections in minutes to people who are upset about planning applications near their homes. It uses generative AI to scan planning applications and check for grounds for objection, ranking these as "high", "medium" or "low impact. It then automatically creates objection letters, AI-written speeches to deliver to the planning committees, and even AI-generated videos to "influence councillors".

Wilde the tuxedo cat is sitting on a red blanket on the couch. He's facing away from me/the camera. Wilde the tuxedo cat is still sitting on the couch. He's now looking at me/the camera, and his ears are perked up.

Hot damn, I ate a healthy dinner tonight. Only thing missing was a salad with some dark, leafy greens.
A plate with sliced avocado, roasted sweet potatoes, and a bowl of Cuban black beans.

Republicans have spent so long wishing death on violence on liberals and marginalized people, and they fall apart instantly when the shoe is on the other foot. (Reposted images with alt text.)
Tweet from @greg_price11 Well, we're learning tonight that not long after a major conservative figure gets assassinated, the Democrat candidate for AG in a state can fantasize about murdering the children of his political opponents, scam his way out of community service after a reckless driving conviction, and not only will every Democrat on the ticket stand by him, but Democrats in the state will elect all of them to office. Quote tweet from @AndrewCFollett I live among these people... The extent to which they fantasize about hurting Republicans is geuinely hard to convey. The quoted tweet is from @lion_politics I'm actually speechless...Jay Jones outperformed Kamala Harris in Loudoun county. Quote tweet from @DBanned_Bill If, like me, you are a Republican in Northern Virginia, the only thing preventing several of your neighbors from murdering you is their fear of getting caught. That's not hyperbole, they're proudly admitting it to pollsters. The quoted tweet from @townhallcom Only 46% of Virginia voters considered Jay Jones' violent text messages against Republicans (& their children) were disqualifying.

I'll believe this when they start canceling games over it and not a second before.

And it's time for our next movie, The Blood on Satan's Claws. I could not find a gif for this one in Bluesky's library. Hey, Bluesky, instead of dislikes, maybe let us upload our own gifs.

Let's go #USWNT!
The field at CPKC Stadium as the sun is setting. Me wearing a Naomi Girma kit, my arms outstretched, in front of a big US Soccer logo. Me leaning against a sculpture/logo. It says, "CPKC BABY" with a Kansas City Current crest.

The whole streetcar is KC Current themed! I got to sit in the Chawinga seat
A bad picture of the outside of the streetcar, in KC Current teal and featuring Temwa Chawinga and I believe Ally Setnor. Seats that look like the KC Current kits. Seat says, "T. Chawinga 6" Seat says, "LaBonta 10"

I don't find this surprising in the least.

According to your article, the majority of cops agree with Trump and are sympathetic to ICE, they just want ICE to stop teargassing them. Did you think you had something here?
“The leading reason for police use of force is lack of compliance,” that department member said. “I’m a law enforcement officer. I’ve had people defy things I’ve needed done and had to get physical.”

Had a great time at the @chicagostars.com season ticket holder event. Got a jersey signed by many players. Still not nearly complete yet. #WithTheStars
Camryn Biegalski, Maitane, and Sam Staab sitting at a table with the Chicago Stars logo, with me standing awkwardly there. Ally Schlegel and Bea Franklin sitting at table with the Chicago Stars logo, with me also there. Manaka Hayashi and Leilana Nesbeth sitting at a table with the Chicago Stars logo. I'm also there. A Chicago Stars jersey laid out on a blanket. It's been signed by many of the players.

Apparently, this is not just Portugal's first win against the USWNT, but the first time they scored against them. So, you know.

What isn't clear just from the art is that the knight and dragon are actually practicing for a production of Hamilton. Aaron Burr will be the dragon's first major role!

(...I think the knight's pose looks like the logo.)

Couldn't make it to @whiskeygirltavern.bsky.social for game 1 of the WNBA finals, but I passed by a swanky steakhouse bar downtown, and *they're* playing it.
