Intro for new folks: my politics are situational. I don't do party lines. I believe spelling, grammar & manners matter. I believe that words should be chosen carefully & that listening is a dying art. My default setting is 'doubtful' & I check sources. Also, a Monkees fan.

Never had cats until I lived here in the UK. Always had labradors in the US.

It went up & angled inwards, as is common on the basis that MOST cats won't go upside down for long. Our daredevil not only transversed for extended distances but went upside down and over the edge. Hence, the cover.

I am right there with you.

International Sweatpants Day has come just in time.

@padler I mean, he might as well say the quiet part outloud. No one has shown any indication they are gonna DO anything about it. Depressing.

@acailler Guessing only so he can rename it after himself.

@Keir_Starmer I would suggest that this was written by AI, meaningless drivel that it is - but there is a typo in it. If you can't manage spellchecker, how are you going to make the best use of AI.

@francesweetman I asked exactly the same thing over breakfast

@ShowerAbsolute @FT Thiel should switch to decaf.
