Donald Trump’s first act as president will be to intentionally *raise* prices for the American people.

The crushing negativity of this site has gotten to me. I'll likely drop in from time to time, but for the most part, I (and the critters) will focus on Bluesky for a bit and see how that goes. Find me at @davidlaz.bsky.social

Oh, and we have new foster kittens arriving today

Our new fosters have arrived. If you want to see more of them, join me at Bluesky -- David Lazarus.bsky.social. That's where I'm spending more time as Twitter becomes, well, Muskier

Our new fosters are gradually acclimating to their surroundings. The shelter named this little girl Triathlete, which just won't do. So we're calling her Hime (pronounced 'Hee-may'), which is Japanese for 'princess.' Join us at Bluesky, @davidlaz.bsky.social

Hime's first brushing, which I think she liked. More on Bluesky, @davidlaz.bsky.social

Two little things that are thankful for, well, everything. Join us at Bluesky, @davidlaz.bsky.social

Hime and T-ball are recovering from their respiratory infection and developing nicely. Join us at Bluesky, @davidlaz.bsky.social

Meanwhile on Bluesky: Hime is gradually improving; her appetite is up, Tball, meanwhile, seems ready for a first meeting with Lupin. Follow their progress at @davidlaz.bsky.social

Tball is being a good big brother for his sister Hime. Follow their adventures on Bluesky, @davidlaz.bsky.social
