News flash. Most people over the age of 40 don't give a flying fork about Hasan Piker.
Even fewer know who dafuq he is.
If we want to get OUT of this dystopian nightmare we're living in here in the US, we need to care less about "internet influencers" and more about actual working people.

I have a little song I sing for this little sprite when I'm playing with her using the "feather on a string" toy.
"She flies through the air with the greatest of ease. She's the young tortico with the little pink beans"
During the day she likes to hang out with me in my home office.

Rage Bait for Tuesday 8/25
Target has to be reminded that blackface / minstrels are still racist.
The SCrOTUS continues to be not only useless but dangerous.
Cheetolini insists on poking Canada with a pointed stick. Dickless Donny doesn't realize that we need them more than they need us.

To the parents of transgender kids (girls in particular), and to transgender adult athletes, most people don't care what your GAB was.
It's just that we live in a time when misinformation and hatred is pervasive.
Stay strong. You still have allies.
Trans rights will always be human rights.

Here is a bit of hopium for fellow Illinois residents.
I'm going to be reaching out to my state representative about this and share my ideas of how we might make use of that revenue.

On June 1, the Illinois legislature passed a tax on the digital advertising revenue of tech companies like Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet (parent company of Google). The tax may generate $800 million annually, a number that could increase as revenues from digital advertising grow.
Taking on the Rich Is Possible. Our Illinois Coalition Won a Tax on Tech Giants.
Our campaign won a digital advertising revenue tax that may generate over $1.1 billion annually for the state’s budget.

This is Jimmy, aka "Jimbo" aka "The King of the Suburb".
He is very old (at least 18) and sometimes gets confused about various things.
One thing he is not confused about is food.
This is him letting me know that it's time for kibble. (Yes he is a Big Orange Cat). #cats #catmom

Elon Musk is NOT a good guy. He's not someone to look up to.
The man is a real life supervillain. He has more money than any one human can possibly spend in one lifetime.
I don't believe in the whole concept of "evil" in the context of religion but he's a very very bad man.

This is Molly. She's a "tortical" (a tortoiseshell calico), about 2 years old. Sweet girl was surrendered to a local shelter in October. We adopted her a month after we lost one of our kitties to CKD.
We love her very much.

Hey Bluesky people - Is there a midterm PRIMARY election in your state this month?
Do some research and figure out which candidate would best represent your ideals. Maybe the one receiving the most PAC money is NOT the best choice.
Then actually get out and VOTE. (Early if it's an option)

The Republican congresscritters interrogating Jack Smith are obviously "triggered" because they're not letting him complete the answers to their questions.
Makes this hard to watch, but it's also interesting that they know that Trump's actions were criminal.

A reminder for the imbeciles who slept through World Geography (or can't be bothered to learn anything about the world outside of the US)
Greenland = large island, mostly covered in Ice. Part of Kingdom of Demark.
Iceland = small island that is mostly "green". Not part of Denmark.

If you have never read Howard Zinn's "A People's History of The United States", it's definitely worth picking up while we go through the latest mess created by the current occupant of the WH and whichever "advisor" concocted the latest disaster.

I don't understand why Zelenskyy continues to get on airplanes to fly halfway around the world to be insulted (again) by a lunatic in a cheap-looking suit that is in the pants of a war mongering psychopath.

The BLOTUS has the attention span of a raccoon on meth.
Annex Greenland, annex Canada, commit a few war crimes, build a golden "ballroom", a traffic circle hazard, then insult women, allies, and make up more shit about ending wars while boasting about designing new war ships.

Our newest feline family member, Molly. She's a young "tortical" surrendered anonymously to a local shelter at the beginning of October.
We adopted her about a month ago.
She acclimated almost immediately with our other cats, the dog, and us. #Caturday
