It’s long past time for the U.S. to get a new president.

Two of the cats I spotted in the Northside neighborhood of San Jose recently. Happy #Caturday!

An orange and white cat slinking along a brick ledge. The brick and wall are painted dusty olive gray. The cat is about to go behind a trellis. A copper rain chain with tulip-shaped buckets hangs in the foreground.

A striped gray and brown sits on a gray step in front of green succulents. In the foreground, weeds stretch across the picture. It looks like the cat went to the salon and got some crazy whisker extensions.

#Watercolor inspired by a Jaques Henri Lartigue photo of Renee Perle at what I imagine is a beachside cafe in the south of France.

Painting of a young woman sitting at a cafe table. She is in sepia tones. Behind her are large sun shade umbrellas, one with green and yellow stripes and yellow fringe, and the other light blue with white fringe.

Butterbutt. An older comic.

A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

Two of the cats I saw in the Northside neighborhood of San Jose this week. Happy #Caturday!

Sunflower. A brown striped cat stands in front of a worn painted building. There is a faded metal sunflower leaning against the wall next to the cat.

Pumpkin. A bright orange cat with an intense gaze, lying on top of a fence. Roses bloom in the background.

The big story is in the faces and body language, of course, but check out the back of that shield or whatever it is attached to the railing. These people have made the White House so janky.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

The performances, of course. The song. The art direction. The brevity. The mood. It’s perfection.

In a movie filled with great numbers, this is my favorite. It’s may be my fave Freed Unit number, even. And I couldn’t tell you why. #TCMParty #TheBandwagon

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

You can't really see it in the photo, but I had the impression that the driveway cat had a fluffier tail than the other one. But they do look VERY alike so . . . ?

Two photos of cats (or is this the same cat? I don't know) in the Northside neighborhood of San Jose this week. Happy #Caturday!

A gray/brown striped cat sits on a paved driveway that looks a bit like a frozen lake.

A brown/gray striped cat looks startled. It stands among dried grasses in front of an old rose bush. For some reason this picture reminds me of the big dioramas in natural history museums. Maybe it's the lighting?

I cannot find a link to an actual vidoe of Trump saying if we stop buying 2 billion dollars worth of bananas, we save 2 billion dollars. I see a *lot* of people just sharing a still image and unsourced quote. I found one video, but the description of the video was NOT what he was saying it.

@housewren.bsky.social Sep 17, 2026, 3:24 AM

I enjoyed you enjoying it.
