Hi and good afternoon all. I don’t have anything new. As Lona pointed out, it’s likey TC doesn’t have his laptop, so we aren’t likely to get any news. But I can still put up a post to give us a plae to hang our comments, thoughts, TJIs, and whatever we want to share.
The Neko Neko Shokupan bakery, at the All Hearts Mall (wherever that is) in Japan, bakes bread in the shape of a cat head. It comes in plain, cheese, sweet red bean, or chocolate. They have an online store, but you’ll need a translator, and I suspect shipping would be pretty pricey. 
Look what a librarian (it would have to be a librarian, wouldn’t it) came up with –
Cartoon –
Mrs. Betty Bowers strikes again.
After decades of being subjected to Jerry Falwell Sr., Jerry Falwell, Jr., Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, Franklin Graham, George W. Bush, Mike Pence, and Sarah & Mike Huckabee, et al., it’s adorable that some people think Americans still regard “Christian” as a synonym for “honest.” https://t.co/c9YTKTq9Qi

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: Great/wonderful organization.
Such a cute design of the little kitty outline on the bread.
Love her comments. Mrs. Bowers is so, so, SO spot on!!
Yes, definitely a librarian, or a reader…but I’m putting my $$ on a librarian.
Good post, and Thank you for posting, Joanne.
TJI: “One of the biggest burrs under Trump’s saddle, is when it comes to Obama. In that he is just plain ‘cool’. Trump isn’t cool and never w/be. Obama could probably beat the cr-p out of dt on a golf course too. ~ Jim D. ~
2. “United States having the world’s most confirmed Coronavirus cases is a badge of honor.” ~ dt ~
3. “One of dt’s tweets is how he needs to save Virginia’s farmers’ guns so they can protect their potatoes. Seriously…he said that.” pb
4. “If Kamala Harris gets VP this next election…it could signal a methodical committee working to undo what Agent Orange did on behalf of foreign enemy. If she gets AG … Look Out !!! ~ Martin Z. ~
Potatoes. In Virginia. Right.
I wouldn’t mind a bit seeing Kamala Harris as AG. Not that she’s alone. Adam Schiff wouldn’t be bad either.
Yes, either would be wonderful!! Ms. Harris or Mr. Schiff would do a fantastic job!!
The Lincoln Project is kickin’ A..!! seriously!
Hope that TC is feeling better soon too!
Kamala Harris has always been one who’s for the people.
She’s a fighter.
She’s definitely someone who needs to be part of Joe Biden’s administration.
You can always count on the Lincoln Project –
Cat bread, just what TC needs, I’ll bet!
Our library is open, p/t, now, and I’m reading “Sapiens…,” by Harari, while we picked up “A Very Stable Genius,” earlier today. If I had enough time left to live, I would have to choose between Library Science, and Paleobotany for a new career.
‘Toon: Good stuff!
Betty Bowers: “Adorable” is a sweet euphemism! There are some people, who I’m sure would tell you that they are good Christians, working a Trump 2020 booth not far up the road from here. One of their idiot signs reads Women for Trump.” I will refrain from cursing, damn it.
Virginia farmers plant from 4,000 to5,000 acres of potatoes, valued at between $15-$25 million, I just found out. But needing their blunderbusses to protect the crop is pure Trump-shit!
If Kamala Harris is not in the Biden administration, in a powerful position, I’ll be surprised. As AG, she’d be in a great position to bust Barr’s awful ass!
China’s SECOND wave of Covid-19 shows signs that the virus is mutating, which is not especially surprising. Once again: Stay safe, and assume nothing!
Do tell! I guess, when they grow underground, the differences in temperatures and humidity aboveground don’t matter as much as they do for, say, orchids.
Yeah, I love “adorable.” Like “Bless you heart.”
P.S.: I could not run that Lincoln Project ad.
I sometimes can’t run Twitter videos. I think it depends somewhat on which browser I’m using, and whether or not it’s up to date. However, somewime when I can’t run them in an embed, I can run the if I go to Twitter. I didn’t look hard for a YouTube version, but I will, and will come back if I find one.
Here ya go (and with CC)
Thanks, but I really do not need to see it
But, This Just In: https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/coronavirus-surging-in-trump-loving-counties-as-states-reopen-analysis/
Surely no surprise. I guess confirmation of what we expected doesn’t hurt.
Love the Cat shaped bread. Would be fun to make some for TomCat. Wonder which flavor he’s likes?
Cartoon: Great organization. Has served so many people.
Sure hope TomCat is doing well. He needs the rest. Plus I’m sure they are keeping him hydrated.
Thanks Joanne
Kamala’s history serving CA as DA and AG is not fully consistent with a for the people perspective…but she was better than the LA DA who ran against her for AG.Sometimes no news means good news. Thanks for posting.
What is the longest word in the English language?
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
According to http://www.quora.com/ the above word is the longest but it boils down to silicosis. It refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano.
Who knew!
Oops! wrong day!
Thanks for posting, Joanne.
Cat-head bread from the All Hearts Mall; that has a very nice ring to it, don’t you think.
I just love that sequence of books. Just brilliant.
Cartoon: Of course it took another woman to get the American chapter of the Red Cross off the ground.
Mrs Bowers is spot on.
