Open Thread - 16 Oct 2025 - Global Cat Day!

Global Cat Day!

It's Global Cat Day and National Feral Cat Day. These happen every October 16th. So, if you can, go out and pet a cat, leave some food, love on your own cats, and do whatever you can to help the little kitties in and around your lives.

As Alley Cat Allies writes in an email to supporters, 'Anyone and everyone can be an advocate for cats. If you don’t believe in killing cats, you’re already an advocate.'

End of Empire
Slowly, Slowly, Then All at Once

The decay of US empire is all around us...crumbling infrastructure, increasing poverty and homelessness, and an economic system in decline. We used the power of the dollar to sanction and bully other countries to the point they united and developed a new means of exchange (BRICS pay) bypassing the USD and SWIFT system. The FED has for decades cranked up the presses to over produce dollars, increasing the debt to the point the interest on the debt is about equal to our GDP. Much of the currency creation has been to finance the endless war - profiting the MIC, the bankers, the oil industry, and the elite. In fact, over spending on the Vietnam war caused Nixon to take the USD off a gold standard because we didn't have the gold to back all the dollars created. Since then it has gotten worse, and the wars more numerous in an effort to prop up the failing system.
