Apparently it is #InternationalCatDay, so Arlo decided to pose for his official portrait. Notice the piercing stare and jaunty angle of his chin. One paw forward, chest out, and I think he is quite satisfied with the finished product. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

Four years ago, they were hated for “running up” the score.

This year, they are hated for not scoring enough.

There are too many people making a sport of hating the #USWNT. There’s a lot to unpack with that. But just one thought…

Enough. Appreciate their incredible accomplishments. And that’s it.

Y’all, check in with your journalist friends right now. Send them chocolate and caffeine, and IDK maybe a kitten. They are drinking from a firehouse of news right now and there is no way they are catching up, getting sleep, or taking that vacation they planned next week. #indictment

Never ever EVER missing an opportunity to make a buck - or a mockery of our democracy - would be Donald J. Trump.

This question is as serious as:

To be, or not to be. That is the question.

For me, the answer is "to be" awake at 3am ET. Never been so happy with my insomnia and natural wakefulness at that hour.

Sleep? Or soccer?

Thoughts?

Well.

Looks like the free speech absolutist dislikes consequences for the speech he allows on his platform. So is therefore trying to punish others for using their speech to address the harm he’s causing.

How surprising.
