At most, circumstantial evidence. Things happen.
I first saw him in Northern Exposure. What a great actor. RIP.
I would like a cat watch. Sometimes it's good to have a watch that's just a watch, but is also a cat.
Thank you. He was very pensive. "I was thinking great thoughts!"

Several blankets sewn by my mother and aunt were inadvertently donated, perhaps at a Chandler or Gilbert Goodwill. Can anyone help us find them?
Judge Sooknanan and her team have been working for almost 22 hours straight now. I imagine they will stay up till the last child has been returned (2 more hrs?). That puts them at 24 hours straight defending the rule of law & protecting the children. #DOJ #ICE
MORE: Sparkle Sooknanan is still awake -- and she wants a fourth status report from DOJ. The judge orders the government to update her when all putative class members have been returned to ORR custody.
It would seem like a waste. After all, ChatGPT is right there on our desktops. /satire
The best comedy shows are critiques of society, I think. All in the Family and some of its spinoffs, The Dick van Dyke Show, even My Favorite Martian. Then came shows like Barney Miller, Night Court, the Cosby Show, Roseanne (until the last year), definitely 3d Rock from the Sun.
This judge is so patient.
And here he is after throwing a fit when he got his flea treatment. He also alerted his brother, who hid under some furniture. “The tuna sticks were clearly an evil diversion. I will associate them with stinky medication forever.”
Quite obviously the help was enthusiastic but not effective.

Raddatz mentions Mayor Bowser's comments on how the National Guard helped lower the crime rate. He didn't respond to those comments although other Ds have. Difficult situation, but he should have a response. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
News in this piece: 1) JB Pritzker's health officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines in bulk to distribute to constituents 2) Mass Gov Maura Healey is leading a coalition of mostly blue states that could coordinate purchasing of pediatric vaccines Read all about this here:
Here’s the text of the order issued by New Mexico’s health secretary. It won’t fix the Covid vaccination pharmacy access problem by itself, but it’s an important step in NM. Something similar may help in some other states, too. cv.nmhealth.org/wp-content/u...
Netflix co-founder and Democratic megadonor Reed Hastings has given $2 million to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaign’s outsize stakes.
He’s a furry determined ball of chaos. “I spread joy and comfort throughout the universe. And sometimes dust.”
And then he does something really annoying. I was changing the furnace filters. I pulled out a dirty one, tossed it on the floor, and five seconds later, he was joyfully stretched out on it and wouldn't move. I had to SHOVE him off to get it into a trash bag.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”

"According to the statement issued on Thursday, the chalking ban is also meant to help with campus navigation and wayfinding for people and cars."
I was very obedient, too. But one time in a department store I had wandered away and it was right after a child’s kidnapping in our city. They found me in the toy department. My sister, however…she was an eel. :-)
Which is why when my sister and I were toddlers, my mother had us on leashes. People were disapproving. She didn’t care.
Pumpkin spice lattes? You are dead to me. 😊
As they say, "no" is a complete sentence.
The Justice Department on Friday confirmed the termination of a paralegal accused of flipping off National Guard troops on her way to work.
These words by Michael Schwalbe counter any notion that academic freedom is a niche or quaint concern.

"In Friday’s opinion, the panel concluded Dershowitz failed to prove that any untrue statements were knowingly made by the network’s commentors or producers to destroy his reputation, as required for liability under the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision’s in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan."
This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.
His work is great. But I'm surprised Bluesky didn't put a warning on this one. I mean--the CONTENT. 😊

I've been plotting a mystery novel for years. I have the first sentence finished! I just have to write the next 75,000 words.
Langton, Charlotte MacLeod (The Peter Shandy mysteries set at Balaclava Agricultural College). There's also this piece from CrimeReads about academic mysteries, with some recommendations. end/ crimereads.com/a-brief-hist...
It's better than the movie. 😊 I think people who love the subject matter (math) have loved it. The author is a math guy! I read it because there was buzz about it and I wanted to see for myself, but honestly, I wouldn't re-read it, but I have re-read other authors including Cross, Sayers, Innes, 1/
Guillermo Martinez, The Oxford Murders. The movie has Elijah Wood and John Hurt. My favorite Amanda Cross is An Imperfect Spy (because it's set at a law school, of course!) And of course there's a book about academic mystery novels: Perkowska-Gawlik, The Contemporary Academic Mystery Novel (2021).
Michael Innes is a wonderful writer.
Wow, he was brave.
UU allows you to examine all sides. Develop empathy. Make arguments and develop the debate. That’s all I’ve got.

Apparently not, and I understand why there might be some concern when a vaccine is new but at this point the requirement seems political. But I'm not a scientist, I just play one at family dinners.
Look at this furry mascot. #catcanoe #catsky
There are too many tsk-ers and cluckers around.
Has anyone heard anything about the masked people in the streets who are detaining and arresting people being unable to breathe or passing out because of their masks? Being unable to breathe through masks was such a huge concern for some during the COVID pandemic.
Apparently they haven't heard about this new requirement but they're willing to write it. They said they used to do it when the first COVID vaccines came out and prescriptions were required for a short time? I didn't know about that.
The Walgreens people know nothing about prescription but system won't let me schedule. Doctor's office didn't either but appointment made. Target acquired!
Recently, in a legally questionable move, the DOJ has sent letters to multiple states requesting access to their voter registration lists. Now, the department is escalating its efforts by threatening legal action if states refuse.

Oh, he knows. He thinks voters don't know.
They wouldn’t want me to crumple in front of them…
I think I'll call Walgreens tomorrow and ask what's up with their system. Maybe I can save a trip to the doc, although he's very nice.
Yes...I am very old.
This was the 2025-26 vaccine?
So much for Trump's support for workers.
The Walgreens near me is scheduling Covid vaccinations now, but the system tells me I need a doctor's okay. However, the FDA guidance seems to say I don't. ????
Would it raise your bp? If so, then no.
