I mean, what are the odds the ship might shake? One in a million. Practically impossible!

I actually think she’s not lying. I think she is a True Believer, fully in the Trump Distortion Field. She fully believes the insane things she says.

During his previous term, I recall Trump and Kim Jon Un getting into a little spat (before they got buddy-buddy)…and Kim Jong Un came out of it looking like the sane one.

She actually survived several years after that incident, but she was never quite the healthy cat she was before we moved. Unfortunately she ended up in the animal hospital again at the height of the pandemic, and it was so bad that they were letting us into the building to see her. She was there over a week, and she just wasn’t getting better - and even if she had recovered, it wasn’t a cure; it was just recovery. In other words, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t be back there again in a few months with exactly the same problems.

I heard they were playing “Fortunate Son” during the parade. If that’s true, it HAS to be intentional irony by the DJ. There’s no way anyone could be THAT clueless… right?

The song is about how the singer was drafted to serve in Vietnam; he didn’t have the connections to get out of it. “I ain’t no millionaire’s son.”

One of our cats had a serious medical issue, we think a blood disease caused by a tick bite (we had just moved to a new house, and we think it was already in the house - she was an indoor only cat). One night as she was recovering, she started attacking her own tail. This is something that can happen to cats who go through a trauma like this. We tried to distract her from it, but it didn’t work.

The next morning, we discover blood all over the house. She got her tail bleeding and then proceeded to walk around the house. Our bedroom, my office, the hallway, the stairwell, and every room on the first floor.

I worked on cleanup while my wife took her to the animal hospital.

They tried to bandage it, but it never worked, it would start bleeding again when the bandage was removed. We had to have her tail docked.

Poor kitty. She passed away in 2020 (she never really got well after that initial incident, unfortunately). I still miss her!

For a while, that parent.com article comes across as the pajamas spontaneously igniting, but it sounds like what actually happened was that the burned kids got ahold of matches, a lighter, a candle, or another flame.

I’ve never heard this before. Clothing that doesn’t burn well seems like a good idea, in general.

If Dear Leader kicks the bucket due to health issues, which is very likely…

This is what we said after 2020, and here we are.

I know the reaper will show up for him someday. I was hoping he’d keel over at the parade today, but so far I’ve heard nothing along those lines.

But Billy Joel seems to be right: Only the good die young.

My in-laws’ dog tripped me a few years ago - I had her and our dog in their backyard, trying to get them to play and work off some energy. I started to run, because that always gets my dog going, and their dog ran in front of me. She’s a large dog, maybe 50 lbs.

I somehow kept myself upright, but I rammed my elbow into my own ribs in the process. It hurt for weeks!

This is so absurd, but I love it.

Of course I’m standing in our garage watching a thunderstorm that just flooded our basement, with more storm on the way, so maybe it’s just stress.

This is an incredible series. 3 or 4 games in overtime…

AI: “I know you typed cp, but I’m sure you meant rm…”

I don’t go to social media because I want to hear what AI says. I’m here for the conversation with other humans.

Maybe the Klingons felt they needed a devil after hearing about the concept from humans.

Hurd, I assume.

Two of our cats and the dog would be easy to save. But the third cat is really skittish and would hide under the bed instead of being rescued. :(

They settled with the family of that woman that disobeyed a direct lawfully given order from a cop, to the tune of millions of dollars.

So, yes, they absolutely will pay them. In fact, this is a “legal” way for the government to fund them.

DON’T DATE ROBOTS!

Airlines should stop flying to or over these states, to comply with the law.

Anyone remember Ross Perot? He created the Tea Party, which eventually took over the Republican party.
