My cat used to absolutely vanish for hours; I would search every conceivable spot a cat could get into and not find her. Then she would nonchalantly wander into whatever room I was in without a care in the world. This happened even after I moved two different times. I finally concluded that she was just an extra-dimensional being that didn't want to spend all its time in my dimension.

Then one day I was looking for her under my bed and I noticed a slight sagging of the fabric on the underside of the box spring. I poked it and sure enough she gave a slightly annoyed meow. A small corner of the fabric had come loose years before and she had just been crawling up into the box spring the whole time.

    I'm a school bus driver, in a district where trump is universally despised (in the '24 election Harris signs outnumbered trump signs 30:1 and that's not an exaggeration). In the bus garage, though, the drivers are about 80% trumpers. The commonalities I've noticed in the trumpers are:

    • They live elsewhere
    • They are older (60+)
    • They are in horrible shape, overweight, fucked-up knees, smoking-related illnesses etc.
    • They don't have college degrees
    • They are amazingly dumb, outside of the lack of education
    • They have no sense of humor, do not understand joking or sarcasm
    • They drive aggressively, speeding and ignoring stop signs
    • They hate black people and Jews

    I don't think these observations would surprise anyone.
