#Innewsoftheabsurd Georgia passed a law that allowed an online portal the ability to cancel voter registrations. Democrats warned that this ability would be abused. Well, someone tried to cancel Republican Margarine Three-Toes Greene and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger voter registration. #politics #voting https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-voter-registration-cancellation-portal-mtg-raffensperger
Kids gave kitties a name and eventually I end up giving them a different name. Case in point, MonkeyGirl. I gave her that name because her tail would curl on itself into a circle as she walked around. All of our kitties would be neutered or spayed as we did not need to have more kitties. #Caturday #CatsofCoSo #CoSocats
Bella followed one of our kids home when they were walking back from school. #Caturday #CatsofCoSo #CoSocats
Silver Kefira. Frankly, don't remember how she ended up becoming part of the family. But she was one of the sweetest kitties we've had. Our home seemed to have a homing beacon for strays. Probably because of the food bowls left outside. #Caturday #CoSocats #CatsofCoSo
I found little orange kitty when I was watering plants in backyard. Must'a sprinkled him with watering which made him meow. Waited a few hours for mom to come back to get him but it did not happen so we took him in. #Caturday #CatsofCoSo #CoSocats
Happy #Caturday The following thread will photos of kittens we've had for the last 30 years. Most of them have been strays. Here is Grizzy. We took her mom in and realized that she was pregnant a few weeks later. Took this photo with a 35mm camera and digitized photo. #CatsofCoSo #CoSocats

Fascinating study on thorns/prickles on plants. Why do divergent, separate and distinct plants that are not related have prickles on them? Someone decided to find out. From his research, it looks like a common gene family LONELY GUY (LOG) is responsible for a plant having thorns. #nature #plants #flowers #science https://phys.org/news/2024-08-biologists-ancient-gene-family-responsible.html

Meanwhile, at the BBC. For my fellow Americans, this would be as if CBS had kept Cronkite on the payroll after learning he was arrested for rape.
DonOld showed age, narcissism, incoherence, racism, and the kitchen sink at NABJ. Great that Kamala did not show up as it focused solely on TFG and his lack of any human qualities to be US President.
