Despite how huge, tragic, soul-crushing, horrible, and heartbreaking the Palestinian genocide is, it is functionally not a campaign issue because the only two viable candidates both support Israel.

No matter who we get, we'll have to fight and protest for Palestine.

Even though he hasn't so far, Biden is still the most likely of the two to cave to pressure about Palestine. And if he dies, his successor will be from the party that is most likely to contain people who care about the Palestinian genocide.

Apparently, N the Cat has picked up another behavior from M the Cat: compassion when Cat Mom is feeling really bad.

N the Cat is not without compassion, but it takes a lot to activate it. She stayed right by me years ago when my house was repeatedly broken into and even would come when I called her name for about 6 weeks until everything calmed down again. (Now she just looks at me if I say her name in the same room. She's not getting up for that).

Last night it became obvious around 3 am that Harris had lost the election because I was not getting any text messages from the campaign.

N the Cat looked me in the eye, recognized my emotional state, then decided to lay down on my lap and purr for a while. M the Cat would have marched right up on me and head-butted me, but N is more reserved. She rarely just opts to sit on me, but she has been more tolerant and supportive since M's death.

The idea that Google and Microsoft, while donating that kind of money, aren’t manipulating users on their platform to vote for where their money is, is just comical.

Google & Microsoft very disproportionately donate to the Democratic Party. Between them, they control close to 100% of web browsers and searches done on the internet.
