Awwww.

Neko has been loving sitting right up next to my laptop, both as a high perch and because of the nice warm air from the back of it. Kunoishi has decided she’s Neko’s long-suffering mom, and hangs out wherever she is, occasionally going over and giving her a tongue bath.

Kay was home sick yesterday (with what I’m thinking was allergies), but is back on her feet today.

Hey, we're attending the tale of " #SweeneyTodd " at #CUBoulder! Yay!

When #DonaldTrump loves your campaign ad, it almost certainly means it's as awful as decent people have been telling you it is, and you should take it down.

#JDVance is more disgusted that #Republicans are criticizing #VivekRamaswamy 's #Ohio attack ad on #AmyActon than he is over the ad itself. Gotta love those "family values."

The only silver lining here is that I suspect the ad will generate more contributions for Acton than for her vile opponent.

Earlier this month I was automatically sent my #MailInBallot . After filling it out, I dropped it off at a convenient, secure drop box on Monday. The ballot was received by the county, my signature on the envelope was validated, and my vote was counted.

And at each of those steps I got an e-mail and a text message, confirming it.

Plus I got a nice virtual #Blucifer" voting sticker!

Thank you for showing, once again, #Colorado, that this system works.

I think he's mistranslating the word for "cannibal."

Amusing story both for the headline and for the underlying message.

The take-away from #Trump canceling the #execution #livestream is not that he has even a modicum of decency, but that if a controversial idea is proposed *by someone else* that might blow back on him, he will throw it and the proposer under the bus in a hot minute. TACO loyalty.

There is a graduated, progressive #IncomeTax #measure on the ballot this #election in #Colorado, replacing a flat 4.4%, and it is remarkable that the top arguments being levied against this "bizarre/radical" measure are "It's unfair because $500K [the tipping point] isn't that much income," and "Egads, all the rich people will move away to Texas and we will be poor!"

Every now and then I get a burr up my butt about something and have to write it out. Today it was about strategic voting and "the lesser of two evils is still evil" thinking. Feel free to skip if you don't need another #screed in your life.

#DonaldTrump doesn't actually say anything *new* in his TIME interview -- but it remains fascinating (and deeply depressing) reading the farrago of lies, delusions, illogic, self-serving, and Bizarro World perspective of what he has to say. Failure is Success! Annihilation is Peace! Lies are Truth! Everyone Loves Me!

Future generations (assuming there are any) will read this stuff and disbelieve this guy was ever let close to the reins of power.

Yes, judges are making rulings based on "The President is a dick and might do something irrational, political, and spiteful about this case, so we are dismissing it *with* prejudice, GO AWAY NOW" reasoning.

I mean, it's one thing (though still pretty bad) to refuse to sign on to the international court that tries #warcrimes. It's a whole new level of badness (if not evil) to actively persecute its members and demand its destruction. #icc

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
