The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S. in 1973.
That’s because the US constitution doesn’t mention abortion I’m guessing.
For the record for those who peruse various versions of the cat:
1. I don’t post at Dover cat right now. At all.
2. I have not done so in many weeks.
3. If I do in future post there I will do so under “Arky” not some other name. This could well happen, I don’t know.
4. I won’t engage further about this.
5. I have reduced my online presence and social media use and suggest some others might be better off inside their own heads if they do likewise, rather than spewing everything they think immediately onto a blog.
They beg for more oil and coal for themselves while telling developing lands to rely on solar and wind.
The developed world’s response to the global energy crisis has put its hypocritical attitude toward fossil fuels on display. Wealthy countries admonish developing ones to use renewable energy. Last month the Group of Seven went so far as to announce they would no longer fund fossil-fuel development abroad. Meanwhile, Europe and the U.S. are begging Arab nations to expand oil production. Germany is reopening coal power plants, and Spain and Italy are spending big on African gas production. So many European countries have asked Botswana to mine more coal that the nation will more than double its exports
A Japanese court has ruled that it’s constitutional to ban same-sex marriage, a decision that’s been met with extreme dismay by Japan’s LGBTQ population.
In its decision, the court argued that such a ban was legal because marriage was “between a man and a woman.”
The link at 8.35am is paywalled. If you were just testing, it’s okay. Otherwise, it appears to be a page link to Leak toons. Probably needs a direct link to the latest toon itself.

It does seem that a number of people are backing off from posting or getting involved in anything and are opting for the lurking or passive choice.
Part of the reason may be a sense of dejection with what is taking place in the world, as well as the results of the federal election, here. The other part is that it is less stressful and consumes less time and effort to sit back and watch and let others be the posters.
The problems that arise when posting on a blog are not due to the posting in itself. It is as you say, the spewing everything they think immediately onto a blog. If we apply a bit of thought before we hit the Post Comment button, there wouldn’t be an issue. And if it is brought to our notice that we said something we shouldn’t have, we need to be humble enough to apologise.
The good thing about this blog is that it is about sharing information and opinions so we can learn, but it does not have the personal attacks on other commenters. We can agree. Or disagree. Without being rude. Checking into the blog and finding others who share similar hopes and values helps us cope with the madness taking place in the world.
I have considered stepping back from the blog too, mainly because it takes up a great deal of time. It would be far easier to lurk or just consume what others post and not share anything. But if everyone lurks, there will be no blog.
As I have said before, if we value this blog and what it offers, we can’t sit back and leave it to a few to carry it. At some point, the few will get weary and give it up.

Fears ‘farce’ could close mountain forever
Climbers say Wollumbin (Mt Warning) could become the “next Uluru” after the ongoing closure of the mountain’s popular summit track was extended again.

That is why we should not give up.
Cristian Terhes is a Romanian MEP for the 2019-2025 mandate. He studied Theology, Journalism and Communication in Romania and The United States. He also served as a priest in the Greek-Catholic Romanian Mission and as the President of the Romanian Greek-Catholic Association in US for 10 years.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Beth Rigby “people are filling up their cars and cursing when they do so” and said he “understands people’s frustrations”.
Yes, they are saying fvck Boris and his Green wife.
Everyday another crisis of linguistics whereby we are forced to accept those niche ideas of the vocal minority, immediately followed by the supine capitulation by The Elite.
They’ve tried to get the public by using Fear. They succeeded with some. The rest of us, they hope they can just keep pushing into a corner, till we Give Up.
If we all push back and refuse to give in, they won’t win. We have this site, here, where we can meet virtually and know that we are not alone. We can do the things the Elites are not capable of – be open minded, keep learning and sharing, and have fun, as well.
Take heart, folks. The Cat has morphed, people’ lives have changed, posters come and go for reasons we know not why. Since my relocation from a city to parts unheard of it’s often late in the day when I get to the puter. It’s a blessing. The reality of war
If I win the lottery I won’t tell anyone, but there will be signs
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a six-year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald’s and think that it’s a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them.
I want to play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer’ day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
When all you knew were colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes,
But that didn’t bother you, because you didn’t know what you didn’t know and you didn’t care.
When all you knew was to be happy
Because you didn’t know all the things that should make you worried and upset.
I want to think that the world is fair.
That everyone in it is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
Somewhere in my youth…I matured and I learned too much.
I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice starvation and abused children.
I learned of lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death.
I learned of a world where men left their families to go and fight for our country,
and returned only to end up living on the streets… begging for their next meal.
I learned of a world where children knew how to kill… and did!!
What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live forever,
because we didn’t grasp the concept of death?
When we thought the worst thing in the world was,
if someone took the jump rope from you or picked you last for kickball?
I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again.
I want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean.
When television was used to report the news or for family entertainment
and not to promote sex, violence and deceit.
I remember being naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was.
I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find.
I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike.
I didn’t worry about time, bills or where I was going to find the money to fix my car.
I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up,
not worry about what I’ll do if this doesn’t work out.
I want to live simple again.
I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes,
mountains of paperwork, depressing news,
how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank,
doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth,
justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angels in the snow.
