Ordinary Magic

The epidemic is not over.

#TeamKitten

6AM. No sleep (again). Baked brownies, have a chook in the oven roasting, & chicken leg quarters simmering on the stove for the cat food protein (Prancy Beast!). Trash & recycling at the kerb. Don't expect much from me today, I'm bloody well knackered. I hope everyone has an amazing day! VOTE!

Cat just wants to catch the bouquet, at least once.

No Rachel #Maddow tonight :(. Sick. Psaki irritates me, so finding something to do before #TheLastWord in an hour. Lawrence has good guests tonight.

My cat brought back an I voted sticker so that went well.

It is one of the wilder questions I get asked along with “so do you think people should mask forever????!!!???”

as a protester disrupts JD Vance's speech in Montana, the camera pans out to show the rather modest crowd he's speaking to

If you early voted, and your ballot is safely handled, why not think about celebrating 'Flock Camera Appreciation Night' on Halloween? Costumed people carrying power tools, I'm sure there's nothing to be concerned about.... trick or treat.

Don't engage, don't amplify, don't let the doubt-sowers have traction. BLOCK is your friend.

This is important to know.

Floridians heads up. Do not mail your ballot

May his memory be a blessing.

Awwwwww!

Roast them alive. No mercy. That was a CHILD they called the police on.

Been away from the internet most of the day - kitten Cortana is symptomatic again. Just need to get her over the worst of it. Good outlook.

Two down, just us to go now. VOTE, damn it!

One down. Two to go.

This horse waited his whole life for this moment. In 1997, a horse jumped over a fence and joined the peloton of the of the Critérium International, eventually passing it, leaving the race only 20 km from the finish line. Original post

I love this for him.

If anyone in he #CovidConscious #CovidCautious communities knows where to buy individual ReadiMasks (sm/noeyeshield) pls let me know. Main site only sells in 10 packs and that's overkill for unplanned dental needs. Need to do the nose mask hack using adhesive masking as shown below on YT. Thanks.

It's data mining, folks. See also: social engineering.

Dear UK Traitors series: We need an all Doctor Who cast Traitors season, and the turret should use the interior old school set of the TARDIS. #Traitors #TraitorsUK #DoctorWho

🚨DATA CENTERS COULD COST REPUBLICANS THE FLORIDA GOVERNORSHIP. If David Jolly wins, the explosive backlash against AI data centers will be a big reason why. Floridians don’t want these power-hungry facilities built in their neighborhoods — Byron Donalds is far too cozy with the data center lobby.

Most of us carry dormant viruses from past infections, usually harmless. But extreme stress or a weakened immune system can reactivate them. Scientists studying astronauts' immune systems are exploring what might wake these viruses up and how this could be linked to Long COVID. Podcast: 14 minutes

Paging Natalie, STAT!

😱 🎃 Halloween Terror 🎃😱

On the 12th day 'til voting the Repubs gave to me: The polling collapse of Ramaswamy. (Also, learning how to do ALT text, hope this one came out okay) #12DaysofVoting #Vivek #Ramaswamy

Re-organising the cat room, looking for larger litter boxes.... I am convinced the people designing litter boxes have never seen a cat.

I wonder how many windows he finished

I did my duty. :)

5AM. Dishes and laundry done. Cat boxes cleaned, everyone medicated and fed. Thirty minutes before the spouse wakes up.... it's Me time. Headphones, something to listen to, and a game of Heroes of Might and Magic are all mine for the next half hour. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is what the media does ~ Minnesota 😩👇🏼

Voted today. Stared down a sheriff's deputy in full uniform while dropping off my ballot. He was inside the no interference zone. You can't intimidate me, I have nine cats, an HOA, and anger issues.

NEW: Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker, wife of Governor JB Pritzker, announces she’s sending $500,000 to Amy Acton after Vivek Ramaswamy’s truly vile ad featuring Acton’s estranged mom.

🔥 MEMPHIS to the city council: “YOU WORK FOR US NOT ELON MUSK” What a pic. (H/T councilman @jbsmileyjr.bsky.social — who voted for the moratorium, which failed 6-6)
