Hey peeps, can we just do a nationwide strike until meaningful, humane action is taken on climate change and refugee resettlement? The path we're currently headed down is very very dark, and it will take us all to the depths of hell.

Not even Michael's cat can save us from that hell.

The joy of a calico cat is a blessing.

I appreciate how you occasionally tie the stories together. Makes the the whole post flow pretty well.

Michael your sardonic prose bring refreshing clarity to the dreaded trudge through the morning info-onslaught. So much so that I can barely tell you're a beard-privileged pale male! Keep up the great work!

Also maybe start a daily morning cat update?

Oh my god. So many things worthy of comment today (two big Storms for entirely different reasons, a winning Attorney General who should be plotting his run for president, the best excuse anybody has EVER had to sit around and eat junk food all day...) And yet I too have to just sit in awe and disgust at the humanitarian disaster that is unfolding in our own country. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that John Bolton spoke out against the International Criminal Court just the other day. This is literally reaching crimes against humanity level. In the land of the free, home of the incarcerated child.

Republinazis in the Carolinas and Florida have already banned climate science and rising sea levels, so presto—problem solved, gawdless commies. They’ll own Hurricane Florence with a mean shitTwit if necessary, so there.

Welcome, Michael, and well done. I take it we have permission to discuss your seXXXy beard? Surprise—I’m all for it and will happily provide “Beard Rides: 1 Cent” t-shirts for the team.

Stop body shaming those poor Koreans by suggesting weight has anything do with with health.

@ 5,

The tDump regime is packed with extra sleazy international criminals, so of course they’re against the International Criminal Court.

CHOP IT OFF MIKE

I love cats, and I've known my share of cats who love me back, love the humans they live with, and love people in general.

That is not a photo of a cat that loves me. That is a photo of a cat that will be entirely indifferent to my existence once I get out of her frelling space.

Also, pretty cat. Thanks for sharing! ^_^

is that cat reaching out for a fist pound? 👊, my little dude.

Even your cat looks fed up with this shit.

@1 We deserve it.

Gouda looks wise.

Gouda! Yeah, it’s not ok for all those kids to be locked up. Agree with @1. We need people in the streets and speaking up in a really loud and obnoxious way to do something about it. When society grinds to a halt, politicians get nervous about keeping their jobs and start to do something.
