He looks like the flock that visits my neighbors’ silk-floss tree in the mornings!

Mrrrrrrrrrrp?

That’s a great picture of a great -looking cat! Majestic af

Well tbh the last time I got locked out was 1999 and I didn’t have a cellphone yet. I climbed over a railing (which now has spikes added) to access the pool area, went to our window, took off the screen and broke it such that the shards landed in the not-disposal side of the kitchen sink, boosted our toddler carefully into the other side, she climbed down and went to open our door while I carried the baby around to the hallway. My husband was home and okay but he’s a quad and couldn’t open the door. I suppose he could have called 411 to have them connect him with a locksmith…? We live in SoCal so just putting the screen back on (and cleaning up the shards of course!) was enough until we could get the glass replaced. And our toddler got to be the Houdini Heroine!

Can haz! Yahoo!

I can easily break into my apartment through the kitchen window, the only one that wouldn’t require a ladder, but then I’d have to replace the glass. We could get back into the building by waiting around for a neighbor, who would probably recognize us or at least not find the old couple with the wheelchair threatening. But we’d be late for wherever we were going, which is usually a medical appointment. When I go out alone I usually don’t lock the unit door because it’s more dangerous for my husband if I crash or something and nobody can get in to help him than the chances of someone breaking in with evil intent.

This is why my spouse and I both always take our keys when we leave the apartment.

Please let me know so I can block it. God I hate the way that word is used in headlines. Save “slam” for when you need to tell the doctor why your hand is a bloody pulp shaped like the latch of a car door.

He’s just bringing you toys to practice your hunting skills!

I see your point but for a man who imposed his choices on others and robbed them of theirs I’d like him to experience helplessness. And I don’t think it’s fair to ask the other inmates or guards to do that for us, further brutalizing their own souls.

Of course, he’s already mentally locked in to the “I’m the only victim here” mindset. Nothing will change that, so I guess all we can do is keep him out of the lives of the survivors.

Locked-in syndrome

Fool hasn’t realized, world leaders aren’t laughing at US, they’re laughing at HIM.

Kamala might have worked on choreography, but Trump? No. Not only is he not going to let anyone tell him how to behave, he couldn’t repress his inner toddler if he tried. It only took a couple of subtle “I’m not touching you” - type nudges from her and he had a tantrump.

It’s mostly delighted or pleased, although it can occasionally mean the opposite, especially in the military. I believe it started off as “proud.” This bunny is delighted and proud of his new rug.

I’m amazed he knows how to use a litterbox and not just poop everywhere. That’s probably how he earned his nice rug!

It works pretty well. You’re applying opposite sideways forces to the zipper itself rather than pulling on the plastic film of the bag.

Edit: if you want to be sure you don’t blow out the corner of the bag, pinch it with your other hand before sliding your thumb towards it

Standard Issue Cat. It’s an affectionate term for the bestest cats, the brown tabbies.

Beautiful SIC, able to drop contrasting hairs on any color surface!

I was old enough to be disappointed watching it on our neighbors’ TV, because it was so far behind the science fiction stories I’d been reading when I ran out of library books and moved on to my big brother’s.

90s, or timeless?

Any picture of her face, on any campaign poster in any of her campaigns, shows her Black heritage. She doesn’t have to say anything about it, it’s obvious. And Harris is a common Black name. Her Asian heritage is not as apparent, so it bears mentioning. I might also mention that the Asian and Black communities have a history of discomfort with each other, so being obviously Black could have caused some Asian people who didn’t know her full heritage to vote for the white male Republican rather than a Black person. Black people have more experience with mixed-race heritage. Being a savvy politician, knowing how to approach different people, is a positive thing.

But she’s always run on her own capability. It’s others who tout or disparage her racial experience.
