My Cat, Phobos, Showing Off Both The Way She Prefers To Sleep And Her Meatiness.

Basically, DOGE will try to cut anything that does not have a positive impact on somebody's profit margin.

There’s a bunch of right-wing people posting memes about “”DOGE”” making the government more efficient by removing funding from “”dumb bug researchers”” and I am now realizing how little the average person knows about entomology and its importance

Excuse me while I get sad .

hey have you seen a small cut of lightweight lime green cotton anywhere? It was in this drawer and I don't remember moving it, but I emptied the drawer 3 times and I looked in between all the folds and it has vanished and I'm very confused.

I don't need it for anything, I just want to move it to a box with similar fabrics.

I still have mine. I fire it up about once a year. Still works!

It turns out that a lot of people don't like to read because they were never properly taught how, and more importantly, WHY to read. For them, reading was a way to find the answer. "Why did David fear the old man? (Page 43)" They never went beyond this, so why bother reading if you are not trying to answer a question for the teacher? They never experienced the joy of reading, of reading for its own sake, of reading just to find new ideas.

Sadly, for many people, thinking is the same way. (And there is a BIG overlap in the middle of the Venn Diagram between peple who don't read and people who don't think.)

Coffee with half and half and sugar. My hot tea blend the same way.(half fine black tea, usually something from Cornwall, and half roasted Yerba mate')

Another classic concept space model kit! I built this one as a kid, and have a couple in my current kit stash, so I can build them properly.

We need a Pokémon/Star Wars crossover. I'm just not sure which side most of them would be on.

i'm bored someone start an argument

You're only saying this because it's true.

Why do I blame the Republican Party? Because the Republican Party is to blame | Opinion

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

The warning is for those who claimed offense at the following observation, made in this space a few days back: “What Americans have lost — to be painfully accurate, what Republicans have trashed in pursuit of power — is the willingness and ability to share a common national identity.” It would seem to be self-evident truth. But not everyone agrees.

“Constantly blaming Republicans,” griped one respondent.

“You ONLY blame the Republicans,” complained another.

“You exclusively blame Republicans,” grumbled yet another.

Well, there’s a reason the Republicans get the blame for destroying any sense of common American narrative. It’s because — pay close attention here — they deserve the blame for destroying any sense of common American narrative.

Sorry, but Hunter Biden’s laptop didn’t do that. Black Lives Matter didn’t do that. Whatever thing Fox “News” last told its audience to fear did not do that.

The Republican Party did it by a campaign of demonizing dissent, shredding norms and boundaries, embracing a politics of white resentment and fear and, perhaps most corrosively, delegitimizing the very idea of knowable fact, so that an ordinary birth certificate becomes an object of suspicion, an ordinary election a seedbed of distrust and the sacking of the U.S. Capitol an innocent visit by tourists.
