  • I definitely miss the cached pages. I found that I was using the feature very frequently. Maybe it’s just the relative obscurity of some of my hobbies and interests, but a lot of the information online that shows up in search engines seems to come from old forums. Often times those old forums are no longer around or have migrated to new software (obliterating the old URLs and old posts as well).










  • I don’t have a cat.

    I have a weird-ish cat that sometimes follows me on my walks. I’m his best friend when we’re hiking buddies. When I see him on the trail, he’s all meowing at me, rubbing up against my legs trying to get me to pet him. And if I stop petting him, he bites me. So that makes me think I’m special.

    But, if I happen to go over to my neighbor’s house (his owner), he won’t come near me. He runs off if I try to speak to him or coax him to come over to me.

    Till next time I see him on the trail, and we’re back to love bites and heavy petting.





  • No. And he’s not just mad at cat ladies.

    This whole idea that people with biological children are more invested in the future of the country than those without kids is just a thinly disguised dog whistle that’s firmly rooted in misogyny and homophobia.

    This is a line that theoretically doesn’t precisely and specifically just target homosexuals, there’s also “collateral damage” to infertile couples and those who choose to go child-free. And there’s a sufficient number of those people that it serves as the basis for plausible deniability. That they specifically call out “cat ladies” fully reflects the misogynistic aspects of it. But make no mistake, this is undeniably a basis they might use to deny rights to the LGBT+ community.
