I know the historical primary source documents are scant, but New York and New Jersey should really embrace Lord Cornbury. Just really lean in.

I’m at the post office to pick up a package and there is a CHORUS of chicks peeping away in the back. Bring them out. Let me pet the peepers.

Kima is sure she’ll fit, it’s all about finding the right angle.

Anyway, cat

And non-runners think running coverage is boring

OHA & county public health officials have confirmed the 1st measles case in an unvaccinated adult. Anyone who received a measles vaccination at any time in their life has a very low risk of getting measles. But the disease is highly contagious, MMR vaccine is recommended. More: ow.ly/WxbT50WfKQT

There’s a lot of shit happening right now, but I have a whole bag of pretzels to myself and it’s important to acknowledge the good things too. 🥨

Kima can’t believe it’s Monday again.

In the continuing adventures of "AI I do not want injecting itself in to my life," I was attempting to search the internets for running tracks near me. The search engine's "helpful" AI saw that I live near, "Aloha, Oregon" and has very helpfully blathered on about ... running routes in Hawai'i.

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

I love this photo from my collection that was correctly framed to cut off the dude's head but catch the photobombing cat.

Don't talk to the Man With No Shadow. Don't follow the light. Don't buy ice from the children if they don't have a wagon. These are some rules if you want to survive in this campground. How To Survive Camping by @bonniequinn.bsky.social is a terrifyingly fantastic novel. Highly recommend.

Upon reflection,getting vaccinated the day after an infusion was poor planning. Should spread those out more.

You may kiss the paw

I tried to get a cute picture of Yukari sleeping, but she woke up as soon as I got close enough.

Delightful bookstore find today. 1970s reprint of « L’art de laver » complete with ink splotches from the stamps used to make the reprint. The violet case and cover is intensely violet, as only they could be in the middle 20th century.

“Have you heard the good news about STRING?”

A very Happy Father's Day to this horny, persistent king

It’s morning, but Mr. Bigs gives you his full permission to stay in bed today

Today I went to a cat show and came home with a dog (picture). Art by the incredibly talented @kikidoodle.bsky.social , tongue blep by Mr. Bigs.

From what I'm hearing from my friends, pretty much every one of these ended up being bigger than expected. Well done, everyone. hillsboroherald.com/huge-turn-ou...

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota shot in their separate homes

Why, it contains no king.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

A “historic” deal made two years ago between the U.S. government, four tribes, Northwest states and environmentalists to put legal battles aside and invest in restoring endangered Columbia River fish runs is now off. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/06/12/t... by @alexbaumhardt.bsky.social

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

ICE wanted the San Francisco Standard to blur the faces of agents who were taking immigrants into custody. The Standard told them "no." "...we believe that censoring images from this news event would set a harmful precedent for the media’s right to report and the public’s right to know."

I told you we’d be back

To hell with every other journalist or academic who's told me last few years "fascism" is hysterical. To hell with every grandstanding faux leftist who's insisted that none of this is new. To hell with "internal migration." To hell with denial. www.youtube.com/shorts/k2W39...

58 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled on the side of our clients Mildred and Richard Loving, legalizing interracial marriages nationwide. This Loving Day, we honor the generations of families who were torn apart by anti-miscegenation laws and celebrate the couple that changed history.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Jackie Chan, 5 adorable puppies, and presumably some other people behind the camera for the BuzzFeed puppy interviews.

instantly inspired to write a 1980s dark comedy about a high-end "retirement community" where everything is subtly designed to be extremely dangerous, marketed to the children of rich elderly people who don't want to wait any longer for their inheritance
