translation: the people who made the publishing decisions about this are still on twitter and have no idea what actual people want or think because of the brain-poisoning algorithm and bots problem. most people simply do not care about Olivia Nuzzi.

screencap of a bullet point from the article which reads as follows: Experts theorized "Canto" was an example of the disconnect between media elites and consumers, and that scandal-filled headlines preceding its release exhausted the public interest before the book even hit the shelves.

that guy is everywhere

:D Mine's the same way. Yours has got very gorgeous markings, I love the range of colorways you can get on calico. Mine is very white on her front, but from the top she looks extremely tortie

it's the same old rhetoric again and again. especially the 'using big examples of thing I think bad to demonstrate that thing is morally bad'. please remember that avocado toast wasn't literally about avocados on bread, it was about millennials eating out instead of saving their money.

screenshot of text that reads as follows: Millennial spending habits have been analyzed from all angles and according to Goldman Sachs researcher Lindsay Drucker, young people place value over convenience and prefer experiences over big-ticket items like homes and cars. A Food Institute analysis of 2014 data from the US Department of Agriculture also found that millennials spend about 44% of their "food dollars" on eating out where foods like avocado seem to dominate menus from fast-food staples like Starbucks to fast-casual restaurants like Chipotle.

My orange boy is actually usually very polite and well-behaved young man and rarely causes crime, although he did break in until I was like 'fine! I have two cats!' So I don't know if he counts as a 'rescue' per se. (Perhaps he used all his crime up to worm his way into my life? Who's to say?)

I just love every picture of her. She's so beautiful, even if she's a Crime cat. Calypso is also often considering Crime, but usually I can distract her with her best beloved, the Spring. (Sometimes she Crimes in order to draw attention to the fact that I have not thrown the Spring.)

from the avast forums about the recent updates

text from a forum post that reads:

Terrible update. Causes issues whenever virus definitions update, throttles CPU causing games to freeze momentarily and YouTube to buffer. Also causing issues with YouTube live streams, making them freeze and buffer. Never had this issue before the Fools Day update

I had to put Calypso in a onesie when she got fixed and she was so annoyed with me

First day of #artadventcalendar and I wanted to share this little painting I did whilst trying to follow this www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj9G... tutorial. I think it turned out really good and cute and I'm pretty proud of it, though I was having a frustrating day when I did it.

Illustration of a cabin reflected in a lake at the edge of the woods. Style is heavily stylized and looks more like a simplistic watercolor painting. Has a very 'holiday card' vibe. At the bottom, in fancy font, it says "Season's Greasons"

www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... okay so I'm reading this article about how the movie Sideways effected the wine industry. I never watched the movie, but I do like wine and I was eating, so it's nice to have a long read. Interesting article, but! I got to this bit and-

Some locals were wary about participating in the first place. According to Pickett, a few businesses that were set to be featured in Sideways pulled out at the eleventh hour. Pickett says that Frank Ostini, owner of The Hitching Post, “got ahold of the screenplay and thought it would be bad for the area, so he called everyone together and tried to shut down the film.” Several wineries made the final decision not to participate. In a last-minute change of heart, however, Ostini opted back in, and The Hitching Post ended up serving as one of the film’s most memorable shooting locations and is now an essential destination on the wine circuit.

Probably a lot more Brits my age and older remember it, but I don't think it's very commonly known in the USA. Incredibly funny show, some bits have not aged well, but Lenny Henry is an excellent comedic actor, as well as the rest of the cast. I honestly think it was ahead of its time, too.

when I say he's big I mean he's fucking big guys. Calypso is like 6-7 pounds, she's on the small side but still normal cat size. Frumpkin is large enough that he's verging into 'dog sized' territory

Frumpkin has discovered laps

Speaking of princess bitey baby brat kitty girls, Calypso rolled on top of my hand and started purring loudly, and (very gently) bit me every time I tried to move it out from under her.

Orange cat- Frumpkin! He's a sweet, sweet boy and also LORGE, he's a little over 1 yr Yellow dog- Jack. He's going on 18 and is my heart dog. Calico cat- Calypso, she's my sweetie pie baby princess kittygirl that I rescued when her ma abandoned her at 6 weeks.

An orange cat peers out of a window, his butt and tail snugly pressed against a sleepy yellow dog on a bed. The light is the gray/silver of overcast skies.

A calico cat is resting on a pair of sweatpants while a much larger orange cat grooms her head. She looks relaxed and her paws are open, as if she's in process of making biscuits. Also you can't see this but she was purring so loudly.

??? maybe it's a joke about his height but I disagree with your alt text, Barron looks a ton like DJT imo.

this is as close as I've come nabbing his 'food plz' expression and a good showcase for his gorgeous eyes. before I finally gave him a name I called him Handsome, and he now answers to both Handsome and Frumpkin lol

one of my favorite things about Frumpkin is that he's such an easy going cat who always wants love. he can be chilling and ignoring me and if I touch him he's like 'pets? pet time for a good boy? head rubs?' immediately. big friendly orange guy. SHOCKINGLY smart for a cat. cat tax
