On tonight’s episode of The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper: Who ate Sylvester the stuffed cat? Spoiler. Anderson Cooper ate Sylvester. * Small bits/bites. He’s fine 💜

A student tried to call me at bitch today, but fumbled the pronunciation so badly, I didn't realize what they were saying until I had a few minutes to think it through. Of course, I promptly told him that the insult only works if someone knows what you're saying 🤣

Sunday Funday with the Boulevard. Hearts to everyone forced to save daylight this weekend and to those who are getting ready. This Sunset is for you!

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Apple Music is still desperately trying to figure out my music tastes. AM: You like Pretty Hate Machine, so how about The Fragile? ME: Hard pass. AM: You like metal, so random steampunk metal band? ME: No. AM: FINE, HAVE A METAL COVER OF TOSS A COIN TO YOUR WITCHER JFC WHY DO I BOTHER

Never Forget Old Dogs Are Beautiful Too ❤️ Original post

Went to Commander night at the local game store and pulled out my Xenk, Paladin Unbroken deck. PLAYER: I love him! Have you played Baldur’s Gate 3? ME: ME: Funny you should mention that…

I don’t think he likes my driving.

Love me some flannel

C’monnnnn Leo! You got this, popebro!

But why stop him?

Abolish ICE.

Movie Night - Owen Wilson Goes To The Dentist! He’s ok. The tooth we were concerned about was infected on the inside. It was extracted. He requires his prescription food in cans. Pain solution- home injection for the next 4 days. His estimate increased by $429. Donations needed: theherdhouse.com ❤️‍🩹

It’s like Shark Week over here but with Lambchops! HerdFam graciously gifted us SpookyChops! Ever since Owen was a puppy, he has been collecting Lambchops. He is so happy with his new frens. He made them all feel welcome. Bonus MatChop for Sunny B!

The squad will soon be heading south again but I think the nug and the cube will really miss the squirrels on backyard tv in Maryland 🐿️

Day two of NYCCC! Many great costumes have gone by. Time to sign!

It's the same picture

Owen Wilson went to see his friends at Alpine today. Grabbed an allergy shot and scheduled his dental for next week while we were there.

Dear ☕️ shops, Marshmallow is vanilla+sugar+gelatin. Unless you are putting gelatin in my ☕️, you just made up another name for vanilla syrup. Of course I'm going to enjoy all of it, but I'm on to you. Sincerely, Marshmallow making ☕️ drinker

I've had to take it easy because I had a sore paw, but it feels much better now. If only it would stop raining ☔ New tonight #Lanterns #AnimalControl #MTVAwards #Spike #TVPicks #Dogsofbluesky

Potatoes are the best

We have reached the stage at our local Really Good Hole In The Wall cafe that the head cook comes out and says, “Ey, you guys wanna try the cheesecake we’re offering next week?” and brings us “testers the size of my fist.

Steve was sure the pub was somewhere around here!?

I've never liked ICE. Even back when they used to call themselves the Klan.

Listen, i may not be a football girlie but game theory-wise i will say this: the way Robert Kraft collaborated with other NFL owners to get Macklemore kicked off of Ed Sheeran's tour speaks to why Colin Kaepernick was never given another shot after taking a knee for racial justice.

JUST IN: Three reporters were blocked from the White House grounds Saturday morning, a day after President Trump said CNN, Politico, and MS NOW would be banned for reporting "FICTION and LIES."

Our history and our cultural institutions belong to the American people—not to the President! They're a part of our story as a nation, and it belongs to all of us. That’s why Reps. Kweisi Mfume, Jonathan Jackson, and I are fighting to protect the Smithsonian. #HandsOffOurHistory

UPDATE: CNN now says it has ALSO been denied White House access.

I'm in!

CNN, Politico, and MS NOW reporters have been denied access to the White House this morning.

"I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty, too, shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more." - Anne Frank

Hey, News Outlets! How about just ignoring Donald Trump? It will drive him crazy. His parents never gave him enough attention, so he is still a thirsty brat who needs CONSTANT attention. Start the news with "Trump lied again today" and then move on to news about people/things that are interesting.

Frens, look at all da supplies you got to Phoebe and her babies!!!! ❤️🥹😍❤️ Thank you so much fur suppawting dem! ❤️🥹

I know I ask for this at least once a year, but can some nice historian reassure me that the world has ALWAYS been this stupid?

There’s fresh avocados on Sunset Boulevard!!

High resolution barry says Hi 👋

Sunset Blvd is back in the can of good air! Obvious signs of infection in her downstairs are no longer visible. Her scabs from licking look a lot better. #OnTheMend #HyperbaricOxygenTherapy

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

I am so honored.
