Well today somebody made a whole TikTok calling me “selfish inhuman garbage” and then a whole new video calling me the reason everyone hates America, so I guess I’ve officially made it.

All Mamdani all day but this is a legitimately good idea. Feral cats exist whether we like it or not. Creating managed colonies that are spayed, neutered, and cared for will help reduce the population of feral cats AND might help control rats. There’s a reason the UKPM’s residence has a mouser.

Disclaimer: I have zero medical expertise. But my father died from a horrifying combo platter of Alzheimer’s and congestive heart failure, and but for FDT’s utter lack of a soul a lot of the markers are the same.

Now there will inevitably come a point where he simply has to be in front of the press and speaking. That will be telling. Will the stupid hat be on? Will he be standing? Will his speech be affected? Will he be even more incompetent and belligerent than normal? Etc.

Was he 80 years old and morbidly obese, though?
Tara (@taradeenihan.bsky.social) reply parent
My suspicion is that he is declining RAPIDLY for any number of reasons and they’re going to puppeteer him for as long as they can. Think FDR but instead of Eleanor running things we have a clown cat full of Nazis.

I mean even on his golf days he loves to go and yell at any reporter he can find, so why did we only see a fuzzy photo from far away? And how do we even know he golfed? They could easily put him in the car for the photo op and then just hide him for a few hours.

2) A smaller incident, like a seizure or a minor fall, that wouldn’t require a hospital trip but would, in his condition, deal a serious blow to his ability to function. (With dementia or heart failure, every tiny medical issue advances the greater condition.)
Tara (@taradeenihan.bsky.social) reply parent
1) Stroke. This would be sudden enough for the same-day flight cancellation, but would also almost certainly necessitate a trip to Walter Reed which would be hard to hide. Also I sort of doubt he’d be up and ambulatory within a few days. But maybe.
Tara (@taradeenihan.bsky.social)
So here’s some rampant speculation: I seriously doubt Cankles Caligula could survive surgery. (I’ve seen that speculated as the reason for his disappearance.) So I think one of two things is going on that explains his hiding and the fuzzy, far away proof of life photo we got: 🧵
