My 15yo cat has never learned how to use scratching posts or anything, despite having an assortment and a whole other cat to show her how. If I don’t trim them she gets stuck in things, and they grow really thick because the outer layers aren’t being shed. I’m assuming that’s more painful to walk/jump on than extending her claws to trim them.

It’s really not the same as declawing, which is like removing a joint from their fingers.

Cory Booker is doing a great job with his protest speech. I started watching while he was talking about social security, and I’m so glad someone is talking about our fears in congress.

This pains me to say this, because I am on disability, but I imagine the will be a lot of angry people when Musk destroys social security. I honestly wonder how the media will spin payment diaruptions to keep the populace complacent

This isn’t even an issue of legality in Trump’s world. Trump is upset that Waltz has the number of a journalist that Trump doesn’t like, which apparently is an indication of disloyalty. So it’s still weird that he hasn’t just fired the man

What’s weird is that it didn’t seem like he put any thought into firing people during his first term

Oh, that’s fantastic! Thank you, I will give it a try!

Does anyone know how to get endnote or a similar citation manager to work in Libre Office?

Someone get this commenter a Snickers, stat!

He made himself redundant, if the executive order folding the justicial branch into the executive is any indication

Interesting that the one in Montana is in the blue part of the state

Bezos isn’t the ceo of Google, Sundar Pichai is

It’s amazing that they want to take away social security because there may be a trivial number of fraudulent claims, but refuse to get rid of the death penalty even though innocent people have been killed

That depends on when, which timeline, and if I’m on Ferenginar (if so which gender I am), and/or which faction I’ve decided to fleece

They have very successfully cast AOC and Bernie as radical “crazy” leftists, and in doing so have pushed themselves further right to build a divide between democrats and whatever name of the week they give those two. When AOC was first elected, I honestly thought she was the future of the party. Now we’re here and she’s not even really considered part of it, just an outsider

Omg, same story here! Don’t worry, you don’t know her, she goes to school in Canada

I can’t remember any recent veteran public murder/suicides that involved taking out baddies. For some reason my brain went right to the DC snipers, but again, no baddies

Likely varies on hair texture. I know fine, straight hair is more difficult to keep up, helps to put texturizers in first. My hair is 3C, and I tend to get a lot of fly-aways, so I usually use a smoothing cream and light gel on my edges

Isn’t Macron the one that matched Trump’s ridiculous handshake in the first term?

Oh, I just searched and apparently they did the same handshake battle yesterday lol

I mentioned to my friend something about not waiting to continue life after these two pass. My friend rolled up to my house recently, and long story short, I now have two cats

My cat is 15 and still very healthy and zipping around like she’s a decade younger. My dog is less than half her age and I’ve already spent 3k in vet bills on her over the last six months lol.
