THREAD. A story, in 20 photos and captions, about a uniquely wonderful cat, who has improved my life considerably over the last few years...

Every single "activist" who says we shouldn't vote for the Democratic candidate in ANY race is a GOP troll. They got Trump elected in 2016, and got him elected again in 2024. Don't listen to them. Do the opposite of what they say to do. "Progressive activists" online are trolls for the GOP.

“Screwup”

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Actor achieves immortality with this one funny trick.

I find the story of Hegelochus unreasonably funny. Imagine dying and the only trace of you millennia later is the time you accidentally said you saw a weasel in a tragic play in front of a packed audience, because people mocked you about it for centuries. (Thread for ease)

I want the Democratic Party to STOP offering up its infrastructure, funding apparatus, and primaries to people who aren't and never have been actual Democrats. Imagine if in 2016 the national Democratic Party had told Bernie “No, you can’t run for the nomination on our platform. Get your own."

#soccer #USMNT #USA #Belgium ETTD. For the love of all that is holy, don't anyone let him even know when the USWNT plays next year. (Assuming we're all here by then, wink wink nudge nudge.)

May I just say, apropos nothing at all, that I am very strongly in favor of a Musk-funded, Musk-planned, and (in particular) Musk-led mission to colonize Mars? I will be there cheering and hollering as the ship containing Musk and his TechBro fellow colonists blasts off.

I am about as hard and cynical about US politics as one can be, and I am crying as I listen to our FFLOTUS, Michelle Obama #ObamaLibrary

🎶 They say that there’s a secret plan That Trump will use to beat Iran But you don’t really buy that bullshit, do ya? It goes like this: the bombs, Hormuz, And Hegseth chugs his fill of booze Eventually the whole thing goes ka-bloo, yeah 🎶

We weren't allowed to know the deal, but Trump said it was the greatest deal of all time. Then it came out and it was so bad that even the Trump people had to say it was actually not the deal and there's a second secret deal that's great, but which, surprise of surprises, we aren't allowed to know

Some thoughts about the history of Earth and life on it: Earth - the entire planet, and everything on it - is basically a giant creator and consumer of energy. A living battery! Earth does a complete remodel after every mass extinction. New life, new climate, new geography. "New planet, who dis?"

I think it's safe to say that the Trump Administration - all of them, not just the Mango Tango himself - could screw up a ONE car funeral, and then demand you pay them for it.

The NYT times reports T* saying he "exceeded" his objectives in Iran, and asks what they were. Easy: He and his friends cleaned up on insider trading. His 18-yo son, Barron, made $170 MILLION trading on oil futures just before the "ceasefire" was announced. He made $$. Lots of $$. That's it.

So far the Artemis II mission has experienced a clogged toilet and issues with Microsoft Outlook. If the astronauts suddenly start arguing over what the fastest way to the moon is this will officially be the most relatable space mission ever.

"i have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working." The Astronauts truly representing us all up there.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer
