Rotted fruit in a barrel of brine. Our ancestors did what they had to to get by, but it's a different age now.

Like the French and snails. Don't tell me that's fancy eating. Twas a plate developed by and for starving fucking peasants. When do you eat a snail? When the alternative is somehow worse.

Olives are barbarism.

I just made this post before I saw yours. I hope you can get a kitty soon!

MintyFresh OP ,

Be careful with those, God only knows what's in them. Cat fentanyl or some shit

MintyFresh ,

Looks like a SovCit kitty with ridiculous homemade I.D.s . Lol that face is cat for "Am I being detained!?!?!"

A clipboard is always helpful when cultivating unearned deference and respect.

I for one hail our new cat benevolent-ish overlord! Such a helpful kitty!

My cats name is miss Caligula. We call her calie too!

This meme is about leg day

Hopes of Gaza ceasefire rise as Hamas delegation arrives in Cairo ( www.theguardian.com )

Egyptian and US mediators have reported signs of compromise in recent days and Egyptian state news channel Al-Qahera said on Saturday that a consensus had been reached in the indirect talks over many of the disputed points but gave no further details....

No elections because Hamas wouldn't allow any form of democracy. I know people are (rightfully) focused on Israel right now, but let us not forget what massive pieces of shit the Hamas leadership is. As far as I can tell this is the exact situation they were aiming for. Endless war. A situation we (as Americans or just humans in general, take your pick) have been, are, and most likely will continue to enable and inflame.

Same as it ever was

Man, forget evil for a second. Every interaction I've ever had with the police I've ever had has left me feeling the ghost busters would be more effective. Just fucking pointless

MintyFresh ,

Thank you. Compassion for all things and beings.

I've always said Trump's not the hero we need but the villain we deserve. We did this to ourselves, with citizens united, 24 hr "news", straight up stupidity, and a just really strange sort of egotrip. Conversely my boy Bernie is the hero we needed, for the same reasons.

As to that egotrip. I don't think losing the Soviet Union was good for us. We need someone to lean into. Those goat spooning terrorist assholes just didn't cut it adversary wise. China is too foreign to make a truly good enemy. Now we're just vs. ourselves with predictable outcomes. If only there were a better way.

I can't help but think she's about to shred those flowers. Good kitty.

MintyFresh ,

Ha! He's magnificent, Such a good kitty.

Right?! Lisa sounded like a straight up old lady. And I'm still pissed about apu.

‘In the US they think we’re communists!’ The 70,000 workers showing the world another way to earn a living ( www.theguardian.com )

When Marisa Fernández lost her husband to cancer a few years ago, her employers at the Eroski hypermarket went, she says, “above and beyond to help me through the dark days afterwards, rejigging my timetable and giving me time off when I couldn’t face coming in.”...

Most Americans have no clue what socialism means. I almost got shot in a truck stop in Elk City OK because I pointed out roads and the armed forces were socialist institutions.

Edit: I just wanna say I was drawn into a conversation with a crazy person. It's telling that that situation (me being threatened with gun violence) doesn't seem to stretch anyone's imagination.

What I really wanna say is I've spent a lot of time in trump country, and his supporters can be some of the kindest, and in their own way thoughtful people. The kindness and hospitality I've been shown in some of these places has been truly awesome. The tragedy here is they've had their minds poisoned with propaganda that serves to distract from any other problems that may be annoying.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking these are all horrible stupid people. It would only be a disservice both them and yourself.

Ha! If I had to guess, knowing her, this face is conveying existential angst at existence, excitement that she's in a box, can show you the box, a desire for you to leave but also hang out, worry that she's missing something fun, and emotions only known to cats. Also yes she will absolutely con any passerby out of an extra can of food. She's a good kitty and gets all the pats plus your extras!

Unix is for commies. We'll run our clocks the way Britain ran its coinage! 32 shillings to the third hour, four hours in a pound, 4.3 in a guinea. And of course 10 shekels in a pound, 7 to the guinea. To account for relativity of course.

Show me one flaw. Freedom time bitches!

Also from no country:

Carla Jean Moss: The coin don't have no say. It's just you.

Anton Chigurh: Well, I got here the same way the coin did.

I just want to plug criterion. They have essays on all their films that are really well done, often with the directors themselves. Also the criterion channel is amazing!

I always keep one streaming service subscribed so as not to be a total scrub, and I have a hard time imagining going back to Netflix or whatever.

They're usually denser, often foreign films that require and reward undivided attention, but worth it imo. They often come with commentaries and interviews with the directors. Martin Scorsese for example has a bunch of content up on it.

Some teasers of curated collections they have
