Photo of the cover of a slightly tattered 1964 book - text on the upper half of the cover reads "The Silent Miaow - a manual for kittens, strays, and homeless cats" Translated from the Feline by Paul Gallico Picture Story by Suzanne Szasz The text is set above a color photo of a green-eyed, gray and white cat standing on a brick surface with green grass in the background. She is looking at the photographer through a window with her mouth slightly open, showing her top-notch irresistable Silent Miaow form.

Photo of a black t-shirt on a hanger. It has 28 images arranged in a square, each showing a disheveled stick man drawn in white with an orange stick kitten and a reddish-brown blob dog sleeping together curled up in varying positions, from Matt Ramsey's "How I Slept Today" series of daily posts that bring happiness and big smiles. Below the images, small text reads Awful Doodles by Matt Ramsey @onenerdyopinion Wearing this t-shirt will also bring happiness.
gif of a conference meeting from Trump I with DJT seated at the end of a long table and Mike Pence to his right. All the participants have water bottles in front of them. Trump takes his water bottle and puts it under the table. Pence immediately does the same with his water bottle with exactly the same arm movement in a show of complete servility.

Screenshot of FB post by lost-dog search-&-rescue specialist Smoky Mountain K9 4/16/26: PSA - Also wanted to make mention of something that really upset the owner, and family- and made me livid mad - so now these scammers are sending AI photos of dogs in surgery! Trying to get the owner to pay, without seeing their dog first - and this happened with Lilo! Folks- no shelter or pound has emergency services- for surgery- and no veterinarian will ask you to pay for services over the phone- for a dog you’re not sure or they’re not sure its your dog or refuse you to come down and see your dog- These scammers are calling and caller id is from the actual number of the shelter, or vet office- and it’s appearing legit- when it’s yes their number but not legit- please don’t fall for this scam. (Special place down below waiting for these kind of sick evil people)
2002 Kennedy Center Sondheim Celebration design by Frank "Fraver" Verlizzo, used on posters, window cards and t-shirts - 9 small squares representing the 8 productions + Sondheim event are arranged inside a larger square on a black background. A large circular yellow "stamp" partially overlaps the bottom of the square, with text reading The Kennedy Center Sondheim Celebration and a listing of all of the shows.
Screenshot from the TV series "I, Claudius" showing Augustus, magnificently played by Brian Blessed, furiously exclaiming "Quinctilius Varus, where are my eagles?!!" as the steely cold Livia stands holding the dispatch about the loss at the Teutoburg Forest.
Screenshot from the 1954 "The Million Dollar Idea" episode of "I Love Lucy" - Lucy and Ethel are on a local TV show promoting Lucy's homemade "Aunt Martha's Old Fashioned Salad Dressing." Ethel is the over-the-top enthusiastic product presenter, and Lucy is dressed up as "average housewife Isabella Klump" who does a taste-test and proceeds to rave about the salad dressing much as AI promoters rave about ChatGPT now. This generates mailbags full of orders, before Ricky does the math and figures out there is NO path to profitability at 40 cents a quart. Apparently we have learned nothing since 1954 - or actually we've gone backwards, since Lucy did accept the reality of Ricky's math and managed, after comedic complications, to extract herself from the salad dressing business by the end of the episode.
Photo: a blue and white woven cloth basket sits on a pastel blue, yellow, and tangerine striped couch. Inside the basket is a litter of five lively 8-week-old Siamese kittens, one blue point and four seal points. They are standing up and looking in different directions, but at least they are mostly pointed towards the camera and not completely backwards. The blue point kitten is on the verge of escaping the basket. Name labels on the photo are Casey, Cleopatra, Cocoa, Caleb, and Cody. The photo gives the impression of being the most successful of a multitude of photos taken in a kitten photo session. (This impression is a correct one.)
Photo collage of three photos taken during a pet rescue transport: the first photo shows River the dog, a black young-adult Lab-mix, sitting up on soft blankets in a wire travel crate, looking off to his left with an alert expression and a big smile. The other two photos show Dale the kitten, a white and gray-tabby kitten with green eyes and a pink nose. Dale is also in a wire travel crate with soft blankets. One of the blankets is suspended from the top of the crate to form a big hammock. In one photo Dale is seen lying on his back in the hammock with sunbeams shining on him. He is sound asleep and very happy. In the second photo he sits up in his hammock with his right front paw on the edge of the hammock and a curious, "are we there yet?" expression as he looks out at his driver.

Photo: an extreme close-up of 3 rosy-pink blooms side by side on a flowering quince shrub. They are in 3 stages of opening, from barely open on the right, to mostly open in the middle, to fully open on the left. Out of focus in the background is a twig-tip with another trio of not-quite-open buds.
Screenshot of a Noel Coward quote: "I love travelling, but I'm always too late or too early. I arrive in Japan when the cherry blossoms have fallen. I get to China too early for the next revolution. I reach Canada when the maple leaves have gone. People are always telling me about something I haven't seen. I find it very pleasant."

Photograph of the front of the 2026 Bunsen, Beaker, and Bernoulli calendar, with the subtitle "Science, Empathy, and Cuteness." It features a lovely photo of the two Bernese Mountain Dogs and one Golden Retriever sitting side by side in a beautiful mountainous setting, all looking very happy. A photo of Ginger the cat's head and neck is cut in to the larger photo at an angle off to the side - it looks like she is peeking around from inside a picture frame to get herself into the picture. There is also a cute sticker with a cartoon-style drawing of the three dogs plus Ginger, all in science lab attire.

Screenshot of a Getty Images photo of the Oval Office Feb 4, 2025 cropped to show 9 assorted gold items lined up on the fireplace mantel, tallest on the outer edges and shortest in the center. The following 3 screenshots show how the objects have been repeatedly shuffled / replaced since then. In their proper places they are all valued, beautiful objects with histories of their own - but now they are just being treated as knick-knacks. Shameful.
An orange kitten with white paws and green eyes, wearing a paw-print collar with attached bell, rests in a hard-sided travel kennel with pellet litter in a box in the front and soft blankets and a plush toy in the back. He looks out past the camera with a mixture of concern and hope.
Screenshot from "I, Claudius" with Livia, played by Sian Phillips, embracing Augustus, played by Brian Blessed. He leans in to her shoulder for comfort as she looks off into the distance with a cold, calculating, malevolent gaze.

screenshot from the article: Del Monte Pacific Ltd., which acquired Del Monte Foods in 2014, had also taken out loans to finance that purchase, adding to its debt burden. A rise in interest rates caused its cash interest expense to nearly double — from $66 million in 2020 to $125 million in 2025 — putting enormous pressure on its cash flow.
A small, adult, caramel and cream colored Yorkie? - Havanese? - Benji - mix shaggy (but well-groomed) dog is sitting up on a turquoise blanket inside a wire travel crate in the back of a vehicle. She is wearing a purple harness with a pink collar and a pink leash. She has a cheerful expression and appears to have a merry disposition as she looks out at her drivers, with bright button-eyes, an adorably boop-able black nose, and a big smile showing her little pink tongue.
Screenshot from the classic 1961 B&W movie "The Absent-Minded Professor" - Fred MacMurray as Professor Brainard and his shaggy dog Charlie "drive" through the night sky in the professor's Flubber-powered Model T. In this close-up view from in front of the car, Profressor Brainard leans over the steering wheel with an expression of intense exhilaration while Charlie, ears flying in the breeze, appears to be enjoying the ride.
Post by Eric Lipton NYT May 12, 2025 at 8:02 am, responding to criticism of using the word "potentially" about DJT's corruption: Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.

Photo: an adult tortie-point Siamese cat is enjoying a beautiful afternoon in dappled sunshine on a brick step in a courtyard. Her head is twisted sideways to give the underside of her upraised left rear paw a thorough cleaning with her pink tongue.
Screenshot of a paragraph from Washington Post article 3/18/2025, "The Growing Legend of the Missing Oval Office Ivy": No, the gold vessels are not golf trophies. They’re artifacts from the White House’s own collection. The central gilded bronze basket, called a compotier, was made in France around 1815 and gifted to the Nixon administration in 1973. To its left and right are a pair of urns from the Monroe Plateau, a set of gilded tableware acquired by President James Monroe in 1817, shortly after the British burned the White House. The outer two sets are from a collection acquired during the Eisenhower administration that are usually displayed in the Vermeil Room, which is named after its contents. (Vermeil is gilded silver.)

Photo: A ruby-red Camellia japonica bloom sits among dark green leaves. It looks battered, droopy, and freeze-burned due to severe weather that hit as the bud was plumping up - but it survived and opened. If a flower can be said to look proud of surviving adversity, this one looks proud. "Nevertheless, she persisted."

He voted for Trump in November, impressed by his vows to bolster the economy and slow immigration across the southern border. “If I had known that this was going to happen,” he said, “I wouldn't have voted for him.”

October 16, 2022 reddit post by Hotasbutterscotch: Incoming rant. So this absolute monstrosity of a person was not only a taco stand owner, BUT ALSO A LEADING PASTOR FOR NEW DIRECTION. He was supposed to be a religious leader. He shamelessly and successfully tried luring taqueros from Mexico City without proper authorization “but safely” (aka he had the plug to bring them in illegally). And then: he would hold their undocumented status over their head. It wasn’t legal action as in “going to the police bc they stole a soda can”. No. The real threat was being turned in to ICE which has some of the worst police brutality- happy individuals. All the while boasting on buying his kids 50-60k dollar cars in king cash. Hope he roasts in hell.

Photo of a small ceramic cat lying in a meatloaf position. Its glazed "coat" is dark brown and its eyes are blue. It is slightly blob-y in form and the glaze is uneven in places but it's not bad for a 9 year-old kid's first effort.

photo of part of a paragraph in a newspaper article (1st words are the end of the rpevious sentence): "family with a strong work ethic. He supports Trump's tougher immigration policy because he believes many people come to this country to take advantage of the system. "Some people come here and do nothing," he said. "But if you're a hard worker, you should be able to come here and stay." He said his immigrant father also voted for Trump.
photo: A tortie-point Siamese cat is lying on a blue La-Z-Boy recliner with her face towards the camera and both front paws outstretched in front of her. The perspective of the photo makes it look like her paws are each the size of her head. Her expression indicates that she does not plan to give up her place on the recliner to the human who might like to sit there.

Photo: close-up of the face of a tortie-point Siamese cat peering out from underneath the leaves of an oakleaf hydrangea, with tall green grass in front. Her expression is quite intense and the photo gives the effect of a fierce feline hunter in a jungle. Her harness and leash, which show that she is in fact a housecat on a walk, are out of sight.
Photo: a tiny, gray- and cream-colored mini-Schnauzer is lying on a brown couch. She is wearing a bright red knit sweater that fits her perfectly. She appears to be a senior citizen, and she is missing her left eye, but her ears are perky and her expression is bright, alert, and curious.

Frame from "The Black Stallion" (1979) - Alec and The Black stand side by side on the shore looking out at the ocean as the sun sets in the background and its golden light reflects off the waves. Alec has his left arm outstretched with his hand on The Black's shoulder, and The Black accepts the touch.
Photo: a tortie-point Siamese cat looks down from a high perch atop a tall bookcase. The brown molding of the upper part of the bookcase contrasts with the white crown molding at the edge of the ceiling just behind her. She is lying down, folded up in a "meatloaf" position on a soft flannel pad, and she gazes straight down at the camera with a very serious, almost disapproving expression. (In reality she was purring loudly - she is a very happy cat who just happens to have a serious expression all the time.)
Screencap 1 of 3 from New Yorker article about Harold Arlen, describing Arlen and Ira Gershwin writing songs together. Partial text: As Arlen started to improvise, according to Lawrence Stewart, Ira “moves to a cat-clawed green armchair nearer the piano, where he sits with Calliope, the Siamese, on his lap and pets her abstractedly as he smokes a cigar. He puts his glasses upon his forehead, leans back and closes his eyes as he moves his hands in tempo with the music. Silence—discussion—the repetition of a melodic theme and the analysis of an idea. . . . The writing of another song has begun.”
