Ivanka had a bit of a wardrobe issue and Twitter is making me laugh. This has cheered my day considerably.

I just found out one of the families that was on the dive boat is from my hometown and has a connection to my family. I didn’t know them personally, but it is so tragic. 😔💔

this just reminded me that my 19 year old is trying to get "one fat cat" to be used as a measurement of weight, cause we own one fat cat that weighs 12 lbs. lol 12 pounds is barely cat fat! But I support the unit of measure. Mine seems super-skinny at 12 lbs (he used to be 17lbs before diabetes).

Well shes got a really small head and short legs and short tail like she stopped growing at like 6 months old Except for that belly of hers. I have to go get a good pic of her beauty.

What on earth is going on with Ilhan Omar’s messiness? If she were a white man, everyone would just shrug and go about their business. But a WOC, big news. Is there any confirmation of an affair, or is it just the vengeful wife talking about it?

Cat pictures make all of the craziness in the world more bearable. Here’s my sweet boy. He used to be a chonker, but now he’s downright svelte.

But extramarital stuff has been a big deal for other politicians and has been the reason behind several resignations so I’m hoping none of it’s true.

The dive boat fire is really haunting and upsetting. I’ve spent a lot of time in close quarters on ships like that - it’s really tight down below and w/ people in sleeping bags in 36+ bunks (stacked 3 high), a fast evacuation would be very difficult.
Reports so far are that the fire prevention system was fully functional at a recent inspection, the ship and captain had a great reputation with the locals for safety, and that there were two points of egress from the lower bunk area, but both were impassable with flames.
Names of the deceased are starting to be released. I’m holding my breathe that no one in the Cal dive community is among them.

What I read it sounded like both the hatch and the stairs led to the same large area where the galley was, so by the time they tried to escape it was fully engulfed. So terrifying. I'm also in the camp of someone who could be on a trip like this, and the story of the family with a teenager there together is heartbreaking.

easier and Minerva the victim stories coming out are so sad. Almost all are from northern CA since the boat was chartered by a Santa Cruz based dive company. I had to turn the news off last night because I couldn’t take it any longer. Thinking good thoughts for you as this hits close to home. I also saw a post from the actor Rob Lowe. He said he’s been on this particular boat many times and was devastated over the tragedy.

Reminder
the CNN Climate Crisis town hall extravaganza starts tonight at 5pm ET. (or according to their clock 2 hours and 55 mins as of 12:04 MDT)
Castro will be kicking it off.
It appears as if each of the 10 candidates participating will have 40 mins. Which means probably about 25 talking.

Lolwut
I’ve only ever lived in sapphire blue NJ, but when you have to put down a varmint that’s eating neighborhood pets, you borrow your neighbor’s .22 to do it. This isn’t even “Real America” bravado. It’s just life.

also why wouldn't your neighbor just take out the varmint on his own, is he busy chasing the bears in classrooms in Betsys hometown?

My son started school today and they just wrapped up a construction project with new classrooms. Luckily the design was based on aesthetics to encourage learning and development plus being environmentally efficient and not lessening the impact of a mass shooting. That school spending all that money and effort to design with a shooting in mind is hitting me in all the feels. And the main feel is anger.

This is a nice primer for the town hall. Might actually be better than than watching it. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5d6ede16e4b0110804562976

San Francisco declared the NRA a domestic terrorist organization. Fuck yeah it is. I'm not sure if I have mentioned this here before, but my brother is a big gun guy. He's very liberal, he's in favor of background checks and licensing and commonsense laws, but he still posts those "don't tread on my 2A rights" memes on social media and will pull out that "there's no such thing as an assault rifle, educate yourself!" argument when anyone challenges him. It has been the source of fights between us many times. When he moved into the in-law unit at my parents' house, where my kids spend their after-school time, they required him to buy a gun safe and keep all of his stuff locked up. Which he did, but it still made me and my H super nervous and uncomfortable. Well over the weekend he moved his entire arsenal (and yes I will call it an arsenal, that's what it is) to a storage facility in the next town, including ammo, everything. All but the Red Ryder BB gun we've had since 1990, heh. It's a big step for him and I'm really proud. I know he's got a lot of anxiety and feels he needs "protection", which is part of the reason he likes guns, so I'm sure this felt scary for him, but with all that is going on he is taking steps to make my kids and our parents feel safe and comfortable. BTW speaking of protection, did you read about the girl in Ohio who came home from college to surprise her mom, and her mom shot her? Because she had a gun in her bedroom "for protection," of course. Lucky for the daughter she's got shitty aim and she'll be ok, but fuck guns, man.
