I just noticed this article in the Washington Post discussing how federal regulators are displeased with PayPal's decision to opt everyone in to automatic robocalls and texts:

Skittish relaxing in 2003

My favorite aspect of Daily Kos has always been the sharing of stories, support, and love with regard to our pets. So here goes: Monday marks the six month milestone since my first and most favorite cat Skittish (aka 紅貓 hong2 mao1) died. While my family has always had cats, Skittish was the first cat who lived just with me and for whom I was totally responsible. I think I must have committed every mistake in the book while owning him, but that eager, expectant face was always there to keep me company. Here are a few highlights from his life. Read More
