Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

@darthbluesky.bsky.social the shelter where I volunteer is raising money to build new cat condos, so their temporary residents have the best experience as they await new their homes. This shelter is completely donation funded and they do amazing work. animalhumanenm.givevirtuous.org/donate/cat-c...

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

Someone in DC set up a “little free blockbuster” with DVDs inside instead of books lol

If this merger goes through, CBS, CNN, TikTok, & more will all be controlled by Trump-megadonor Larry Ellison & his son, giving Trump & the billionaire class unprecedented control over what we see. Glad to see state attorneys general taking a stand for a free press & democracy.

Dear coworker: I see your weaponized incompetence. Here’s the thing. We’ve been using this system for four years now, and you’ve been here for much longer than that. If you can’t be bothered to do your job right maybe it’s time to retire.

Picard management tip: Engage.

We've put out a plea for SHASTA before, but this guy really needs a home. An oversized senior gentleman, Shasta loves children and just needs a quiet couch to hang out. This 8yo lost his bonded brother and home at the same time, and hasn't really recovered. Someone please love him! #Tucson (23/45)
