Golden Cafe

Tiger kit practices stalking.

Even in virtual reality, a cat's first instinct is to destroy. Their second instinct is to c**kblock. Their third instinct is to destroy again.

Groove is in the hips.

5 Repost for the evening crowd.

In important news (Little League baseball):

Little had a 2 run in-the-park homer last night (properly scored, no errors contributing), pitched two innings (one of which was K-K-U1, the other of which was 3K), gave up one hit, and one run on a passed ball, despite a close tag attempt at the plate, to close 16-7 in 5.

Very cool. After last thread, happy things are appreciated.

I took Ralphy out today. At Tim Hortons, they gave him a free timbit. At the vets' office he got another treat. And Arby's here gives little cups of meat free.

So he had a good day. And Snowflake watched the house. Lol.

22 I think my ancient HP laptop is coming to its end. I bought it over a decade ago, back when they came with DVD players built in. It's has a 17in screen and it had Win 8 on it. I added Win10, now it has Linux Mint 23.3. The fan has been making 'I'M DYING' noises for a while. Lately it boots to a black screen, then to the boot screen. I just turn it off, turn it on, and eventually, it boots to my Home Screen. At some point, it will just die. At that point, I take the hard drive out, and toss it in the garbage. I did ok with this old laptop. It's easily 10-12 years old and I used it A LOT. I have 2 other laptops and a mini pc.

For any skywatchers here, look to the western horizon after sunset, and you'll see Venus below Jupiter. Each night it will rise higher and higher for a conjunction June 9th.

On the morning side, Mars has finally whipped around the sun far enough for us up here in the US to see it right before sunrise (it was visible well before down in the southern hemisphere). Saturn became visible a while back, and now Mars has joined the morning show. The think waning crescent Moon will be right in between them this morning.

Yes. I have a couple of other laptops and plenty of storage options (flash drives and external drives). This old laptop also has an issue with WiFi. It will just drop, for no reason.

51 My niece just graduated from teacher's college. She and her whole family are quite conservative. She's a normie. No tats. No problem glasses. No danger hair. No livestock ring. It worries me. I hope she knows what she's in for and that she'll probably be forced to teach things she doesn't believe in. She'll be teaching in the red part of New York. But still. New York. My hope is that she ends up at a charter school.

I think that applies to Christopher Nolan and his upcoming film.

There is a guy in Greece who makes Greek Bronze Age armor. It seems he has published all the messages between him and Nolan about the costumes. But then Nolan stopped talking to him.

96 >>>Yeh. Not saying they're feeble. My brothers golden used to drag road kill off the highway and eat it. Also hunt in the yard for any critters that crossed his path. Goldens just have a friendly sociable disposition not seen in many other breeds.

That's why they became such a popular breed for families. Probably why a lot of them do turn into indoor dogs. They love their people and are great with kids.

But that's just a happy coincidence. They were originally bred as hunting dogs and when raised that way they are really athletic and love to work.

My conservative sister is a teacher. She uses her opportunities to subvert leftist indoctrination of her students and tries to teach them discernment. She gets away with this a bit more because there's a huge shortage in her specialty and if the school doesn't keep her happy, it's a serious loss for them.

I have another friend at a small-town school who was bemoaning the difficulty of finding teachers who weren't leftoids. She has a role in the hiring process. They get a lot of applicants from KU and it sounds like KU's education program is nutso.

My point being -- there are teachers out there trying to cultivate good citizens.

Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she plans to subpoena the CIA unless it returns boxes of documents the agency took from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's office that were being processed for declassification, NewsNation reported. The documents pertain to the CIA's activities during John F. Kennedy's assassination in the 1960s and the CIA's MK Ultra program from the Cold War.

"The CIA has 24 hours to return the documents to Tulsi Gabbard’s office or else I will make a motion to issue a subpoena," Luna wrote in a post on X. "These documents have been requested by Congress."

A trove of financial records were discovered in some other building or archive some years later, having been misfiled. I sometimes wonder if somehow James Forrestal was part of that “treatment”, the OSS was doing the same type of thing, and the field manuals suggested that throwing someone out of a window was a great technique.
