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.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA 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?
Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic. Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment. Doctors are left to walk a tightrope. (Published Dec. 2024)
Her Mental Health Treatment Was Helping. That’s Why Insurance Cut Off Her Coverage.

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
maybe he'll do something so over the line that people in power will finally organize some type of political opposition to it. you know, being as he's incredibly unpopular. i mean, i doubt it, he's done lots of things like that and they've mostly bent over and lubed themselves up, but who knows

the mainstream press praising rod liddle in death are not unaware he was a bigoted pedophile, they like him for it. the people in their in-group, at the top of their hierarchy, getting away with crimes signals that the world is in order. it is a moral good, to them. the bigger the crimes the better
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan reports first 2 US deaths of people who had been sickened in outbreak of cyclospora.
this is a fascinating story, in that someone in the DC office did exactly what a professional is supposed to. go to the court and affirmatively say: we never should have brought this case, it is based on lies from the executive branch, we are dismissing it immediately. and like: how did this happen?

It's rarely ever said so outright but basically the thesis of the Stevens surrogates as of today is that Arab Americans cannot possibly have any legitimate grievances about someone who is openly and proudly supportive of a country that kills their families lol
ICE can no longer be allowed to operate in America. They've broken too many laws, terrorized too many innocent families, killed too many people. We have a right to declare them our common enemy and defend our communities against them. Enough is enough. No more ICE anywhere.

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.
