Returning from an ACL tear in the same season and playing in the World Series was incredible! Having had several ACL reconstructions, I can tell you, that's amazing.

My wee Luna Lovejoy after waking up from having dental work done. She would be so angry if she knew I shared this one.
It's the free market at work!
Luna Lovejoy and Louis Quatorze, both gotcha'd in 2021.
Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, a Cubs legend and the architect of the famous “Sandberg Game,” passed away Monday at his home after a battle with cancer. He was 65.
Our wonderful local shelter needs your help! The residents at Loudoun County Animal Services are in need of kitten & dog supplies. Can you help? Chewy has some great deals on bully sticks that our dogs would really love while they wait for their forever homes. Thank you! bit.ly/4kIVja1

Can't he at least try to sound like a serious person?
Our country has a very short memory.
I thought Trump said no one listens to Tulsi. Isn't she part of the intelligence community? Guess that's where "instincts" kick in.
Exactly! Don't say you'll decide in two weeks. Say you're considering options. I'm sure he thinks it was a stroke of genius to "fool" people, but it was just a lie.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social, this American is just sickened by what happened to Sen. Padilla today.
@kateshaw.bsky.social, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, I'm so sorry you were treated so poorly by our elected officials.

Why did people think it was a good idea to have one provider for all this stuff?!
Today I introduced the BARK Act to help America feed hungry shelter animals. We need everyone involved to get this bi-paw-tisan bill passed into law, including from our furry friends. We’re in dogged pursuit of passage this Congress. Send good pet pictures below ⬇️
I ❤️ my people, old & new, who came out to support me on The Daily Show which was ... SO MUCH FUN!!!! I'm so grateful to The Daily Show & Michael Kosta for having me on, & my friends who came to cheer me on (and in Melissa's case, helped dress me for the occasion 👯♀️💃)!
My cats.
@strictscrutiny.bsky.social, @kateshaw.bsky.social, @leahlitman.bsky.social, @profmmurray.bsky.social, listening to the podcast and having my coffee in a theme-appropriate mug.
Figured it had to be "krispy" like "Krispy Kreme."
@strictscrutiny.bsky.social, @profmmurray.bsky.social, @leahlitman.bsky.social, @kateshaw.bsky.social: LOVE Krispy Gnomes!

He was much brighter when I kissed his little face good night at 4am and was chatty and wanted attention. I’ll update more when I get his morning callback, but for now, here’s the estimate, we’re probably looking at somewhere between the low & high end. Donations can be made at linktr.ee/crits4cats
While Cosmo fights his doppelganger in foster care, we’re fighting to restock our kitten food stash at the shelter. 1 of these problems can be solved w/ your help! Wet kitten food is among our most-used supplies during kitten season, when shelters are flooded w/ orphaned babies & nursing moms 🧵
From my friends at LC3 Our kittens are growing and growing and, well, growing and we are in need of more food for them. If you can help, check out our Amazon wishlist. (Will add Chewy option shortly). Thank you!!!! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I still don't really know what to say about this, so ... I took a picture with me and Stevie to share that ... LAWLESS made the NYT Best Seller list!!!! I am so flipping excited, giddy, & thankful - & will have more coherent things to say at some point??? www.nytimes.com/books/best-s...
@strictscrutiny.bsky.social, @leahlitman.bsky.social, @profmmurray.bsky.social, @kateshaw.bsky.social: What would I do without you?! So love the podcast. Proudly wear my Strict t-shirt and drink from my Strict coffee mug. Please know you are appreciated.

Saturday marked exactly 25 years since Sue the T. rex, a 67-million-year-old fossil, made her first appearance at the Field Museum. Visitors stopped to reflect on the dinosaur’s impact ahead of what museum officials have deemed the “Summer of Sue.”

There are eight billion people on the planet! It was less than half of that when I was a kid. I think we can do without having children for a while.
@leahlitman.bsky.social, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, very excited to have received my copy of #Lawless! I'm afraid I'll binge the book and not savor it.
@profmmurray.bsky.social, at your suggestion, donated to The Pauli Murray Center in Action as I live in Durham, NC.

Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down Historical newspapers are probably the archival material most used by the general public—for genealogy, local history—it’s such a loss

@chrislhayes.bsky.social, catching up on WITHpod. I agree with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. I would read a book about the NY subway, if you wrote it!
Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.
@chuck-t0dd.bsky.social, after listening to you on @podsaveamerica.crooked.com I would suggest @blockclubchi.bsky.social as a good source of wide-ranging local news.
Incredible reporting by the Washington Post on the Trump administration's hurried, lawless effort to carry out illegal renditions to El Salvador - to terrorize people. (Including how they violated court directives.) Take a moment to read the entire thing: www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

If you’re looking for ways to take action right now, consider donating to/volunteering at a food pantry, paying a stranger’s utility bill, or of course… helping your local animal rescue org. Cat Care Network is tiny… but our mission is to help the HUMANS who love cats 😊🫶😸
President Trump at once appoints the nation's top financial regulators & profits from one of the world's fastest growing crytpo companies. It's one of the most explicit financial conflicts of interest in presidential history. A NYT investigation published today digs into this nyti.ms/44KUVn8

And, that cover is very disturbing.

What happened to Dear Leader ending the war?
Luna would kill me if I even thought about dressing her up.
Luna Lovejoy is enjoying a nap on her person's legs.
Older kittens, young adults, settled adults fit in very well with most households, as I can attest! Plenty of liveliness, none of the bananas of young kittens.
What is wrong with these people? Are they all 10-years-old, mentally?
Two perfect, good boys waiting for their forever homes. Neither one has any applications!Choose your cow cat-! Both Jimson & Duplex are amazing cuddlers who love to chat. Jimson is passive & agreeable w/cats, Duplex will need a no-dog home & slow intros to cats. Elkton, MD crits4cats.petfinder.com
"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror
This little guy is starting to thrive thanks to his dedicated foster and rescue, they’ve still got a big vet bill to recoup and their GFM’s been sitting at halfway there for a while. Can we help get them over the top, friends?
please call and share ❤️
Who would block such a beautiful, determined kitty? It's an outrage!
I found it quite by accident at The Art Institute of Chicago. Normally, I just gaze at the Impressionists.
