brushing is a coercive act. the brush is coercion. his fur is not unkempt. it is textured by dialectic struggle. each tangle tells a story. he has no interest in your instrument of compliance. the temerity. you would dare to erase the very archives of his endurance.

Nothing beats the sound of bird song on a spring evening whilst on carpark duties Especially when the birds are tweeting ‘chase me George, chase me!’

To be dissed by one pope, Mr Vance, may be regarded as a misfortune; to be dissed by two popes looks like carelessness.

I agree with whoever said we're not cool, because there are still way too many Millennials posting as their cats with annoying typos and all caps. If my cats could type, their diction would be crisp, their spelling immaculate, and their rhythm melodious. Not this "HOOMAN SAID NO EAT BIRB" shit

Busting up big corporations.  Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

It’s time to reconsolidate a counterculture and politics against this shit. Science, art, medicine, poetry, philosophy as the beautiful life, the fullness of human civilization, that they want to destroy. Humanism, not cynicism, not slop, not tech “””nerd””” culture

I had an inkling something like this could be coming, but not how soon, how fast it would amplify, and how broad the impacts. I can totally sympathize with SF writers not forecasting how *dumb* the singularity would start out. Reality has blown past plausible fictional suspension of disbelief.

re: this thread, i've always thought that the original error of the prequels as a narrative is that they are ostensibly anakin's story when they ought to be obi wan's, especially since obi wan is, as a character, perfectly positioned to star in the story nathan describes
