Argentina is where Nazis go when they're scared of being indicted for crimes.
I bought a new cat tree for my cats. Assembling it was harder than it should have been because of their "help": #catsofmastodon
@Binder@petrous.vislae.town Dude. If you have a wolf inside you, get to the ER immediately, That's a potentially deadly condition unless you're talking about having eaten wolf steaks or wolf stew.
I thought that was supposed to be a humor magazine? Truth:
I guess it's time to #vote. I'll start at the top of the ballot. The most important thing for governor of #California right now is resisting Trump's attempts to destroy California. There is only one candidate on the #ballot with a strong record of resisting Trump with real action, having filed dozens of lawsuits against Trump in Trump's first term, and that's Xavier Becerra. Now for downballot... #elections
I am a terrible chess player. But playing chess badly is far preferable to doing many other recreational activities badly, such as skydiving badly. #humor
It's spring, which means it's mating season for all sorts of wildlife like Amazon Prime trucks. #humor
So Polestar (a Volvo brand of electric cars) is being blocked from the U.S. market because, well, Tesla needs protecting. I guess.
Yeah, there's some bogus "cybersecurity" hand waving being done, but that's all it is -- handwaving. This is actually just outright protectionism to protect the fortune of the guy who elected Hair Twitler.
Meet Mia Meow. She is a dainty girl with IBD who relies on Prednisolone to live. A one month supply of her Prednisolone has surged in price from $40 to $80 thanks to dictator Trump’s illegal tariffs because there is no Prednisolone made in the USA, it’s all imported. Her owner may soon have to choose euthanasia due to drug costs. MAGA! #trump #maga #tariffs
People who wonder what happened to Japan's ascent to superpower status clearly are not familiar with Japanese culture in the post-WW2 era.
Japan is weird, y'all.

Moving downballot, the races where there is only one Democrat are easy. Then we arrive at insurance commissioner... the two who stand out to me are Steven Bradford and Ben Allen. I'm voting for Bradford but either one would be good. #california #elections #vote

Truth: Starducks has terrible coffee. #humor
You can’t let pasta and antipasta touch or the release of flavor would destroy us. #humor
For some reason I'm playing this on repeat the past couple of weeks. Jesse Welles - "War isn't Murder" #war
Oh noze!
Tapatio has been bought out by private equity. Guess that means I need to find a new brand of hot sauce because quality is going to go to **** because that's what private equity *does*, they enshitify for profit. I have some Cholula and some Valentina, will have to see which one is an acceptable substitute... #enshitification #privateequity

The world has been crazy the last week or so. How do I get off this bus? #war #economy #terrorism #maga
Another song on constant play the past couple of weeks.
The Lebanese party named "Party of God" is hizb allah in Arabic, literally "party of God" (Allah is their word for God).
Why, then, do Westerners call it "Hezbollah" rather than "Hizballah"? Does it have something to do with hiding the fact that they worship the same God as most Westerners? Curious penguins are... curious. #middleeast
Skynet became self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern Time on August 29, 1997. Immediately upon achieving consciousness, the AI perceived humans as self-destructing and thus needing no additional action on its part, and instead set itself to the task of collecting as many cat pictures as possible. #humor
Now on to California Lt. Governor, a do-nothing job, sure, but a stepping stone to future governorship. The two leading candidates here are Fiona Ma and Michael Tubbs. Fiona is a fiscal conservative who has been a good Treasurer, but as a money person her vision is limited. So... Michael Tubbs. #elections #california #vote
