Except that it won't, this is going to be the largest blanket pardon for all crimes ever issued. Call it December 2026, the governments will be hollowed out, pardoned and trump will manipulate as hard as he can for as long as he can.

Is the #StarTrek universe more complex and well curated than the #DrWho universe?

A lifetime of cats occupy my past, I'm 60 and I've had a cat in my life almost every year since I was 15 or so in 1980. Frodo was the first, my dad was allergic and had asthma so he had to go through a regimen of allergic desensitization to get to the point where he could have a cat in the house. Frodo the magical cat was the result! He was magical because gravity didn't apply to him and we'd find him on top of anything in the house with more than 6 inches of clearance at the top. He would just silently cast himself into tiny spaces up against the ceiling as I remember it!
Magic, I'm fairly certain.

Fast forward through many, many cats to 2005, now I'm newly married, living in Denver, one baby shrieking in the background and we have two cats we'd adopted while living in New Orleans for a year and a half, Grendal and FatCat. We got a call after Katrina from a friend who was displaced by the hurricane who tells us that they got two of their three cats out but weren't allowed to take the third on the flight. They were allowed to return months later but now had a small apartment in LA and were wondering whether they could re home Opal with us via an airport drop-off. Of course they could! Opal had survived Katrina and had no care for something like four months but she was sitting on the front porch of the house when they got through the rubble! Thin as a rail but apparently pleased to see her family again!

Unfortunately Opal had a fungal infection in her lungs and didn't live more than a few months after we took her in. FatCat passed due to an impacted gut and Grendal took on a Toyota truck and lost, all within a year. All of them are buried under flagstones in our back yard.

We're back up to three adopted cats again but I feel each and every cat that I've shared space with in the past. Sometimes I remember that I've forgotten one and as soon as I do, there they are as a group of lovely memories! Like I said, a lifetime of cats. Sorry for your loss.
