This breaks my heart. We’ve been leaving food out for a stray cat and letting him come into the garage during the winter. But I can’t let him into the house with our other cats cause he could have ticks and a bunch of other things. But now he comes right to the door,looks in

Catastrophic insurance is actually what “insurance” is supposed to mean. Routine costs (doc visits, occasional urgent care, prescriptions, the sort of stuff that people predictably use) were paid in cash - and were cheaper because of it. INSURANCE was supposed to be for unpredictable costs, like getting cancer or hit by a bus. And catastrophic insurance was fantastic for that purpose without breaking the bank. “Insurance” for predictable, routine costs that most people incur is just called “paying overhead on top of expenses,” which is why most people carry accident insurance but not maintenance insurance on their cars. It wasn’t consumers who were stupid.

@InezFeltscher Catastrophic insurance basically isn't insurance. That's why it was effectively banned. Most consumers don't understand how it would work and therefore it's not fit to sell.

In 2025, New York state permitted 37,885 homes. South Carolina permitted 45,564. New York is almost 4× the size of South Carolina, but it built 20% less. Median home price: NY: $599k SC: $376k NY is one of the only states shrinking in population. It's a choice.

@SlopHq DC had a great streetcar system that was abandoned and shutdown by the early 60's. No overhead wires. I barely remember them from my childhood.

the dc streetcar's final week of service is upon us. it was born in a 2002 feasibility study, promised as a 33-mile network, delivered as 2.2 miles on H street with no fare collection, and is being replaced by a bus that does the same thing but can turn. $200 million well spent.

@AP There's nothing controversial about Christopher Columbus. I'm so glad the statue has a home. A real one.

A statue of Christopher Columbus has been placed on the grounds of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House, the latest effort by President Donald Trump's administration to recognize the controversial explorer. apnews.com/article/trump-…

@PolitiBunny Transport, Virginia taxes both income and registration, along with the beloved car tax and another fee for being granted the privilege of paying the car tax?

Why get in your car and drive down to the store whenever you feel like it when you can wait for the bus and go on someone else's schedule? Why pack a week's worth of groceries into your trunk when you can carry a bunch of bags while sitting on a piss-covered subway seat and avoiding eye contact with the crazy guy who's yelling threats at everyone?

@guypbenson @daymightbzombie Imagine if the guy in the WH who helped set this thing in motion came off w some of the millions that the RNC raised for him that’s now just sitting in the bank. Instead of his minions going after Youngkin, maybe try the RNC & VAGOP- it’s THEIR job to fight this, but both are MIA

@PamelaHensley22 Have you seen the live version of, In the Air Tonigt. It is a masterpiece of timing, vocals, sound and theatre production.

This scene in Miami Vice where "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins plays stands as one of TV's all time greatest cinematic sequences. It effortlessly establishes the mood and highlights just how far today's television industry has fallen. This authentic soul is gone.

I was so wrong, cats are cool. I’ve always been a proud “dogs are better than cats” guy. But my dog is an old man now and I wanted to get a pet to soften the blow a little when he passes. Started considering cats when I realized I didn’t really have a good reason not to like them. I started browsing shelters and after a few visits met a grumpy 3 year old cat that had been at the shelter 3 months. He immediately started purring around me and the staff said they hadn’t seen him taken to anyone like that. I adopted him on the spot and he’s been with me for 4 months now, and has completely proven me wrong about cats. He is the coolest little dude around and makes me happy every day. Never been so glad to be wrong! Here’s my boy Bazzi

@seanspicer Your refusal to go after the RNC and VAGOP is so transparent. It is THEIR job to fight this, not Glenn Youngkin’s. Where in the hell are they? How much of the money that the RNC raised for Trump is just sitting in an account? It damn sure was never used for anything in Virginia.

Tattooing animals for “Funny or cool” reasons is cruelty, not art. It causes pain and fear for their entertainment. It should be illegal and offenders should face jail
