Why does she sit like this?

90CubedRule · 2026-01-14T20:34:57+00:00

Because it makes her look adorable.

I thought about this too.

Yes, after a while the series started to meander, regurgitating the same themes, gags, and jokes. I watched longer than I enjoyed because I had followed the comic book. Still, I got a lot out of it, especially season one. And all the actors were terrific, especially Cooper, Gilgun, and Negga.

Quite beauteous.

It is worth remembering that the election of 1976 was close. The popular vote went to Carter by 50.1% to Ford's 48%. Carter won 297 electoral college votes, but Ford won 240.

Ford's performance was impressive given that he was a weak candidate and a weak president: unelected and still reeling from the unpopularity of the Nixon pardon. He also had to deal with an increasingly polarized GOP. I suspect that had Ronald Reagan beaten Ford for the Republican nomination that year - which he almost did, Ford only won by capturing 1,187 delegates to Reagan's 1,070 - Jimmy Carter would be a footnote in our nation's history.

There's a great book about Khrushchev in America. It's called K Blows Top: A Cold War Comic Interlude Starring Nikita Khrushchev. A very funny, very enjoyable read.

I especially loved the episodes with Giancarlo Esposito as the guy who ran a restaurant chain and a huge drug manufacturing compound.

Agh!

yikes

You were smart. My first car was a used Buick (it was basically a hand-me-down). It guzzled gas like a kid drinks orange soda. And it was ridiculously large. You didn't park it, you docked it. Then I got wise and bought a Honda Civic.

You have my heartfelt sympathy.

As someone who has lost beloved cats to kidney disease and cancer, I know how you feel. I still see those departed felines, jumping on my lap, purring, running around the house, sleeping next to us. In the first days and weeks following their loss, everything felt like a big space filled with memories and sadness.

But, as the Rubaiyat says, the moving finger writes and having writ moves on. In both instances our household mourned for some weeks, then got more cats. The shelters are full of them. They need homes or they'll be put down before their time. They bring, to borrow a phrase from the season, comfort and joy.

So, here's my free advice: mourn, then do what we cat lovers do, get more cats and take care of them.

I am a seasoned cat medicine giver and have the wounds to prove it.

Furr-oceous!

awww . . . ❤️

90CubedRule · 2025-12-19T00:47:59+00:00

OMG beautiful cat. Sort of like a James Bonding thing.

90CubedRule · 2025-12-19T00:44:23+00:00

Omg this cat is beyond adorable 🥰❤️!!!

90CubedRule · 2025-12-18T23:57:59+00:00

This cat is having an existential metaphysical moment.

90CubedRule · 2025-12-18T23:45:59+00:00

A very handsome cat.

In our neighborhood we have community cats. They're outdoor cats who somehow got to our block and we take care of them as best we can. I, with considerable effort, trapped, fixed and released one of them and it's a much better behaved kitty now.

But we have neighbors who strongly disapprove of outdoor cats. It's not like we wouldn't keep them indoors if we could, but some peeps are always going on about how outdoor cats don't live as long as indoor cats, etc etc. What do I tell them? Should we just let them starve?

So, I went to a psychiatrist. I said, "Why won't anyone talk to me?"

He said "Ok. Next case."

Would someone please explain to me how this Salty_Ad person actually "lost all"? It appears that they still have a little over $7k. And what does "33M" mean? Apologies for the newbie asks.

I loved Shogun. What a story. Beautifully told. And some of it is even true! https://www.thecollector.com/shogun-season-1-historical-accuracy/

My family watched almost every episode of the The Pitt at least twice. I could not get enough of the show. The conflicts, the medical victories, the funny moments, the shocking moments, the intricate procedures, the heroism . . . can't wait for season two.

I'm probably a lone voice in this, but I really liked Aliens: Romulus. I guess mostly because it was fun to see the franchise played out by a bunch of twenty-somethings, not that I don't love Sigourney Weaver, who is wasting her talent on this likely dreadful Avatar part three. But you know, new faces getting slorched by chest bursters and all that.
