Based upon years of experience, I have come to the conclusion that it is almost impossible to dissuade cats from doing whatever it is that they want to do.

Until he starts advocating for womenās reproductive rights and the right of women to be priests, I donāt care what the pope thinks or says.

Yeah, well. As if. Do you see any of our Dem leaders actually articulating a plan, because I donāt see anything like that.

As if. All my Democratic Party does is issue weak demands.

IKR?
Iāll always vote for Dems unless there is seriously a viable, progressive 3rd party, as opposed to a disaster of a vote for a 3rd party candidate whoāll throw an election to a Rethug. Dems MUST get serious. Itās all so appalling. Iām over handwringing!

That wonāt stop them. They donāt care.

Thatās interesting. Iāll have to try lemon juice. Otherwise, my salad looks like yours minus onions.

Yum! I make cold lentil salad too, with lentils du Puy (my MIL was from there) & one of my husbandās cousins is a lentil farmer there). Do you make yours with a red wine vinegar vinaigrette?

This is great! I was thinking just yesterday that law school clinics should offer help in obtaining Zoom immigration hearings. Zoom hearings were held in civil court throughout the pandemic & I donāt see why it shouldnāt be available for immigration hearings.

Those are stunning #s.
Bezos can afford to tank a once- excellent newspaper. I suppose he thinks itās worth it because he wants democracy to die in darkness.

Now, we understand through living during these times the personality characteristics of Nazi concentration camp guards. Seemingly ordinary people can be monsters.

No, the drivers are not employees. Theyāre contractors w/the platform Door Dash through which restaurant takeout orders are placed for delivery. The platform charges customers a service fee, a delivery fee & the customer tips the driver. The restaurant also pays them a fee. Itās absurd.

NASA & the Defense Department give lots of money to Muskratās space programs.

The weather is fantastic but imho, thereās not much more to LA. I lived there for 2 years & meh. My bf at the time had a motorcycle & we would wipe black grit off of our faces after each ride.

I love that. When I look at a city such as Los Angeles, I canāt believe it never invested in serious rapid transit.

Btw, how is the RATP extension project going in Paris? It seems huge.

I once bought an online ticket from SNCF (in the early days of such things) & a bevy of conductors gathered around to examine it & declared it invalid. I had to buy another. š¤·š¼āāļø

When are people at NASA going to realize Muskrat isnāt very good at this & stop giving him money? His rockets explode with alarming frequency.

A friendās parents lived in Pico Rivera many years ago. At the time, it was a 100% Chicano neighborhood. I wonder about the demographics, now.

Thatās a good first step. Adults should be able to enter for free, as well so they are likely to bring their kid ds. See, The Smithsonian.

Some are able to learn from their terrible history. Others, are not so inclined, either by nature or choice.

Yeah. When the Arab Spring happened, I worked closely w/an Egyptian-born Christian on some litigation. I asked her what she thought about it since she still had family trapped in Egypt & she replied: What are they going to replace it with. She didnāt believe they were capable of positive change.

Doctors & nurses, too. A few of my family members have been in the hospital over the last few years & quite a few doctors & nurses were obviously foreign born, given their accents when speaking English, which is great.
