We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us.
all these kittens are still here.
Please share.

it makes me very sad that we still have 8 perfect, healthy big kittens growing up mostly in an enclosure here at the rescue.
They should be cuddling on someone's lap, zooming around, being happy babies.
Soon they'll be a year old and still sitting here, waiting” [pictures of adorable kittens]

59-year-old Iranian national, Pejman Karshenas Najafabadi, died in ICE custody on March 1 in Mississippi. His death is the 11th in ICE detention since Jan 1 & third this week. ICE appears to have reported it about 5 days later, despite a 48-hour policy.

Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.

Only good thing about Condoleezza Rice is that she inspired my winning entry in a Bush Era ska band naming conversation: SKAndoleezza Rice

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Just got a message from South High saying “We currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks”

Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! 🖤🧡🖤

Phoever is a wonderful little family-owned restaurant that’s really struggling right now since the illegal detainment of their son/chef & the drop in business with the federal occupation of our cities. Give if you are able and/or stop in for dinner or lunch soon! 🍜❤️
