Planning for a convention in Philly next month, and I don't want to pay $250 for the conference hotel the night before it starts. So I'll stay at an Exton B&B the night before, take the train in, and save a bunch on hotel and parking. $75/night parking? No thanks.

Oh! I loved this guy in Penn & Teller! I bet he licked a playing card he drew at random and now he'll guess the card! That's the kind of wholesome fun I have come to expect from the conventions!

I, too, would like to join the Possums Screaming at Bald Eagles Party

Their instincts and perception are solid. Glad the raccoons are on the side of Good.

When I'm tempted to toss a toothpaste tube rather than squeeze out the last dregs my mind catastrophizes to a time after societal collapse when I'd really miss that last 3/4 of a portion. No I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

I like to tell the cats "Please enjoy" when I serve them their wet food. More professional that way.

Sigh. I wish those folks would practice their troll brigading elsewhere.
I look forward to everyone being run off of this site because of six people in a Discord with no hobbies and a mistaken belief that posting on the seventh most popular social media site is an activism until all that’s left is one lethargic crab at the bottom of the bucket.

Welcome, one and all, to the #TrollCafe! For the appetizer, we have #NotAll followed by an amuse bouche of #BothSides. For the main course, it will be a succulent filet of #WhatAbout served in a mouthwatering reductionist sauce.

Saw this Lumix DMC-ZS8 for $19.99 at a Salvation Army today. Might it be worth it as a research camera?

And now your moment of Looie-loo. A cat can have a little pizza as a treat, especially on Caturday.

Journalism profs know well the determinants of news value. Chief this presidential campaign are novelty, celebrity, proximity, recency and of course conflict. Given the stakes, I recommend another become the foremost determinant: degree of support for or threat to democracy.

So, I started watching The Bear Season 3 and ... meh. It has the pacing of ABC's "Family," from what little I remember of that.

And now your moment of Mila, who seems to be using her tail like a feather boa and singing "Ai wanna bee booped bai yoo. Yoo an noboddy else but you!" Caturday is every day!

Crossing into Indiana last night, I saw a big white SUV with "Trump 2024" stickers followed by a fortified van marked "United States Fugitive Service," and I can't help wondering if this was some kind of omen.

Noticed in Southwest Michigan some of the gas stations had like $3.99 a gallon and I was like oh hell nawww. Got back to Detroit and it's $3.59, and $3.25 at Costco.

And now your moment of Mila and Looie-loo. The kittens are enjoying recovery time after our travel day yesterday. It's Caturday every day!

And now your moment of Looie-loo. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade should add a balloon of him in this pose. Caturday is every day!

My best bud from college and high school Mark adopted this Very Good Dog on July Fourth. Her name is Sis, she's 6, and she's both energetic and chill and a total sweetheart.
