Iām not sure where this ends at this point. Elon gets deported to CECOT? Trump crashes out so bigly he hands the reins to Vance and retires to Saudi Arabia or something?

In other words, Tim Walz has it right and Iām glad heās speaking up.

Honestly I get the sense a lot of them have just given up hoping for a reasonable nominee for anything & are worried trump will just appoint someone worse as āactingā secretary of whatever. Not an excuse, of course. I want Dems to employ McConnell levels of obstruction, but so far, no luck there.

Not exactly pulp, but (Belgian artist) Jef Bertels has some amazing fantasy landscapes:

Ha, well, youāre not wrong on that last point. Which is making me wonder how Dems would do with a Double Handsome ticket. š¤

Exactly. I know Beshear has name recognition going for him locally due to his dad preceding him in politics, etc. And I havenāt looked into this in Beshearās case but I think an important factor for any dem is how they do with Black voters.

Iām liking these potentials, especially Beshear. The question is whether he has the juice to appeal broadly to Dems beyond his state.

Oh my lord. Are there entire chapters featuring Hannibal Lecter? Maybe a section for Arnold Palmer, too?

This. I have a friend who was (along with her husband) working for USAID for years, most recently in Liberia. What sheās described happening since January of this hear is absolutely harrowing, and sheās been trying to get people to talk & write letters to the press about it for a while now.

I am 100% sure he knew. Sick feral cats will often preferentially just find a quiet, dark hole to crawl into; the fact that he showed up at the door is huge from a trust and āI can tell these people arenāt a threatā standpoint.

So sorry to hear this, but as a fellow feral cat person, bless you folks for taking him in and making sure he gets a peaceful end rather than a lonely, painful one.

Immigrants, they get the job done.

No thank you. I actually had the razor throat the first (and only, knock on wood) time I had Covid in 2024. 0/10, would not recommend.

We were also really lucky with stuff being on time considering our layovers were all an hour or less. It was An Experience getting into ATL and having to take the Plane Train (which briefly got stuck) from terminal A to terminal F!

And I would expect most people to dislike turbulence for a variety of reasons! Spilling stuff on yourself and not being able to change easily would definitely suck.

Yeah, I feel like Matt and I really lucked out this trip. We only had one minor delay and it was on the very last plane getting home (about 40 minutes). We took 3 planes out and 3 planes back so that was honestly surprising from a favorable odds standpoint.

I can only guess that the single male mouse was the Highlander of mice, having defeated all competitors in fair combat.

Burlington is the GOAT of small airports. Everyone is so nice there, itās practically Canada. SLC is clean and easy to get around in. ATL is huge and makes you take a Mr. Toadās Wild Ride train between terminals. JFK feels like a middle school cafeteria.

Iāve said this before, but he does not have the juice.
The coke, maybe, but not the juice.

But I would never board my cats unless it was a dire emergency of some kind; theyāre all feral colony rescues and my older boy is still basically half feral. Boarding would be hell for him, he needs his own home.

I am grateful and lucky to have neighbors right across the street I know I can trust (the neighbor helping out this time actually adopted 2 of our foster kittens and theyāre doing great now, so I have pretty good confidence in her).

I mean Iāve left them that long at least once before, but theyāre quite a bit older now and sometimes get weird about eating, so I worry a bit.

Same, I donāt want to leave my cats (2 of whom are seniors and one of whom takes medication) for very long. I am hoping they will be ok for 5 days with a neighbor taking care of them.

Heh, I never considered the sensory break angle, but thatās actually helpful, thanks! Airports are often overwhelming, but I donāt much mind the actual flight itself, itās just like getting to sit on the couch for hours and read or watch movies.
comment in response to
post
That does indeed sound cool! If I ever get to Europe, for instance, I am riding ALL the trains. Itās mostly the airports and uncertainty about flight complications (eg, delays that could force me to miss a connection) that irks me.

Is this an actual real guy or a Philip K. Dick character or what?

The influencer habit of off-the-cuff over generalization without citation is genuinely very annoying to me.
