The Cat Who Played Brahms by Lilian Jackson Braun
Just trying to be as excited about life as a blind Norfolk Terrier I once knew. I'm a dumbass, caveat lector.

The Cat Who Played Brahms by Lilian Jackson Braun
They are a nice change of pace. Very quick reads, and they keep my attention so far. I enjoy them.

The world needs to know that Ea-nasir is a raggedy bitch.
Another reason this app won't ever be as good is the lack @kristenb2323.bsky.social's hating. I like rooting for teams I like, but I love hating on teams I don't like. This app needs more haters. Maybe next year, Texas... 🤣
I kinda regret taking the high road that day.
It has to happen soon or we will all disappear from pictures like Michael J. Fox's brother in a Mickey Mouse shirt.

Every advert selling an AI product: "Are you incapable of even the simplest of tasks after a sheltered life of entitlement? Do you lack even the most basic knowledge of how the world works? Would you like something to do surface level thinking for you without the need for it to ever be correct?"
I think if we all took the one wish we are all wishing and wished it at the exact same time...we could do it. It could happen. THE thing.
It is the closest thing to Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels from when I was a kid.
It is like watching a full 12 rounds of Hagler & Hearns.
The way these furry bastards fly at each other like two tiny Jet Li (how do you plural a proper noun ending "i"?) in an early 00's action movie is simply amazing.
At least we’re making everything dependent on the murder-suicide computer.
Listening to a whole Eric Dolphy album for the first time, and my brain will never be the same. Holy shit...
Cue the Garth Foxy Lady
Saturday is when the custom Lazyboy recliner with the tempurpedic cushions is supposed to be delivered, and I am not sure I have been as excited about something since the birth of my kid.
There were a couple more in between there, but they weren't on the Kindle, and I didn't feel like taking pictures of the books...
Got cats and started reading The Cat Who books. Finished the first three and just started the fourth.
John Henry Days by Colson Whitehead My favorite of his so far.
I forgot to record some of the books. Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon
Black and brown migrants are being abused, tortured, and sent to concentration camps, for no reason other than... The majority of white US citizens, don't like Black and brown US citizens, and think that there should be fewer of them. So they elected a dictator to do that ethnic cleansing. Twice!🤡
The recording session was clearly running late and interfering with kibble time. Dog was not impressed.
This was helpful. 😅
And my fridge decided to stop being cold overnight. Good thing I just spent over $200 at the store on perishables...keep stimulating that economy folks...now I can overpay for a tariffed fridge. Yay me!
Don’t underestimate spite as a motivator. Lol
Nothing is better than KSU tears during the first game of a disappointing season.
And here I was debating whether it was worth putting Jackson's "Calvinball" quote in my coverage. That is one potent (and accurate!) headline, @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social.
They got wacked out on the nip and crashed pretty hard.
too much s. not enough p
They both enjoy pretty frequent affection, and as long as I still have opposable thumbs, I will remain useful to them.
I love dogs and many people, but after less than a week with cats again, I can say that I will always choose these two furry assholes.
I mean, I have had a bottle allocated since 2016, but I would certainly be supplementing that.
If it happened today we could spend the weekend celebrating
Welcome to America! The public safety nets have all been eliminated A masked, armed, untrained gestapo force patrols the streets Some batshit crazy witch doctor is in charge of public health.(The plague is back baby!) And an illiterate, demented, bloated carcass runs the place Enjoy your stay!
Dobson is about 2/3 of a Kissinger, maybe 1.25 Scalias, on my totally scientific Fuck You Forever scale. Big day. 🔥
Classic Rock is rock music from the 60s/70s, not the 80s/90s. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I am tired of almost dying because people don't accelerate on highway on ramps. Bitch it is well established these assholes can't merge. You gotta speed the fuck up. Fuck!
> it's worse than what you read! it's worse than what you saw on TV well idk what yew read, but I read that shit that makes you look at all of humanity differently 24/7
I am trying to respect the existence of all beings, but I will vacuum his ass if he continues to encroach.
New office friend...
Wake up #Royals fans. Kansas City is only 2.5 games out of a Wild Card spot and their FanGraphs playoff odds are up to 23.9%. Hope is a dangerous thing.
It turns out they were perfect furry angels and shame on you for doubting them.
The Royals schedule is way too difficult going forward. The playoffs aren’t happening. HOWEVER, next year is real and I’m not just saying that bc I’m a homer.
Afraid to see what manner of carnage the two furry assholes wrought upon the new casa while I am at work.

The chaos agents have finally settled. I had forgotten just how insane kittens can be.
2) The majority of white US voters choose the fashiest option on the ballot. This has been true every election for the past 80 years. This number has not changed with turnout. The majority of white voters voted against Obama. Twice! Elon's deal in the 2024 election was "Get white voter turnout up!"
So I guess this is a cat content account now.
Kittahs
New casa came with a gas dryer that doesn't shut off by itself and runs with the door open. Probably not legal in California, but sumbitch dries a load in about 20 minutes on medium.
Buying a cat tree frees me up to move on to the multi-bin compost heap I have decided I need to build. After that, I think I still need to build the cat wall to supplement the cat tree. After getting divorced it is clear I probably need more supervision. 🤦
I sketched plans and came up with a material list that I fully intended on building this weekend, but impulse bought one that was on sale and made using 2x4s and not cardboard tubes. I am sure the cats will resent it being in the house.
Bought a big ass cat tree, have a robot litter box coming via FedEx, and I have never been more excited about getting a couple of furry assholes that don't appreciate me or my authority and constantly plot my demise.
This is society in a nutshell.
The corporations have made all of the money and it's made no one better We have all the billionaires... and no one has been made better You put the Oligarchs in charge and they 🤬'ed it up This is the tipping point
I will never let the world forget about Elijah McClain, who taught himself how to play the violin, and played it to comfort kittens in need of homes. He committed no crime, but was put in a choke hold and injected with ketamine because he "looked sketchy." He apologized to his killers as he died.
Between Sandy Hook and Elijah McClain, I have lost any hope for our society. We don't deserve nice things.
Tell the world you have friction burns on your junk from angry, chronic masturbation without telling the world you have friction burns on your junk from angry, chronic masturbation...
All im saying is if you put a bunch of fbi and atf dipshits on a street corner when the bars let out and there’s a sandwich shop open next door thats basically entrapment
Put up four different styles of bird feeders with three different types of food on Monday, and they are starting to get visitors today.
Changing Van Halen’s “Jump!” to “Honk!” would require minimal effort while probably making the song way more enjoyable for geese
Made the mistake of spending time looking at many of the pictures and reading linked articles for random people on the National Gun Violence Memorial website, and now I am completely emotionally exhausted and don't want to do anything else for the rest of the day.
Thank you, David Booth. Looks like KU might be able to buy a good football team. #RockChalk
no, we will not hear you out. no, we will not engage with you in any way. whether it be to justify the actions of a fascist and genocidal regime, or to just help you sleep at night, you are weighing the value of human souls to find a clean balance sheet. you are not worth our, or anyone's, time.
So the lady friend beat cancer, but now has to deal with UC again. The treatment for that likely caused the cancer, so now she might be looking at surgery. *deepest of sighs*
Got the toilet, vanity, and sink installed in the second bathroom this evening, and I think that I am finally done fixing and/or replacing everything as part of the move.
These adult men talking about how scary cities are... I mean I would personally be humiliated to be such a goddamned loser.
So there is a person retiring today in order to move to Texas to be with a guy they met online 3 months ago. They are leaving behind a mail-order bride here in Wichita. The person in Texas does not know that they are Trans and have had the snippity surgery...sounds like a good idea.
Hall of fame douchebag.
Furthest I've been... N: Edmonton, Canada E: NYC S: Cancun, Mexico W: Nanaimo, Canada
I am thinking maybe start using electric trimmer and edger at 9 and then mow (gas) afterwards. That would buy folks a little extra time.
This is what I was thinking. I figured anything after 8:45 or so should round up and be fair game.
I live in Wichita, Kansas, Eric, not some party town like Daytona Beach. *shudders in Hank Hill* 😆 I was thinking 9. 🤔
The happiest countries in the world prioritize social safety nets & education. That’s why Americans are miserable.
What do you consider an appropriate time to start mowing on the weekends?
It gets me too.
Congrats. She's a beaut.
It took me over 30 years to understand this, but since the birth of my daughter, I have made it my life's mission to try and model what I want her to view as appropriate male behavior. In doing so, I feel I have taken responsibility for my own happiness in life, too.
Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.
There is a lady with a shirt with a crow on it that says "F-CAW-F" and I probably shouldn't laugh, but I did.
This is supposed to be a fuck your employer they will never have your interests at heart post, versus a bland motivational post. Hardest working co-worker is being reassigned to a shitty position elsewhere.
Live a life that you can be proud of and makes you happy, because at the end of the day you are going to be on your own.
Raise your chairs up! 🪑💥
Thinking I probably could have done the flooring myself, but if that is the only thing I have to pay anyone else to do, then I will be happy.
Getting very close with the new casa. Pulled the old sink and vanity. Replaced the water shut-off valves. Installed the last of the ceiling fans. Did some more painting. After the floors get installed, put in the new toilet, vanity, and sink, and I will be about done.
There are sometimes multiple ways to attach outlets and switches. Decent people will make a hook shape around the screw. Sociopaths will stick the wire into a tiny hole in the back. It is a pain in the ass when replacing.
People who back stab receptacles and switches deserve horrible things in life.
Floor guy comes Wednesday to install the 1800 lbs of flooring stacked in the back living room. Getting close to being done, but still a lot to do.
Day Fuckever of This Old House: Took off work early and painted my bedroom, front living room, dining area, and hallway. Got two new toilets, because I am not a midget, and a vanity. Planning on putting the new locking mailbox and post in tomorrow, if I can find the post hole diggers.
I will not apologize for the MP3s that are on this phone (and everyone I have had since Napster/Limewire days).
Boo!
They traded Freddy??? Fuck!
finding these cans is the new holy grail of alcoholism. finally, a road soda with plausible deniability.
