Elon Musk recently found some spare change in his jeans pocket and decided to buy 9.2% of Twitter. Like a loving father, Musk is helping Twitter get back on the right path. Way to go, Elon!
Here are a few of the epic changes coming to Twitter as a result:
1) A warning label will be placed on all tweets that aren’t based enough: The label will also be placed on memes that are insufficiently dank.
2) You can now choose from one of three avatars—Musk, Doge, and Pepe the Frog: This is all you need.
3) All tweets will freeze at 420 likes and 69 retweets: Nice.
4) Donald Trump will be allowed back in exchange for removing porn, terrorists, and genocidal leaders: Seems reasonable.
5) Sharing the New York Post story about Hunter’s laptop is now mandatory: At least once per day. It’s only fair.
6) Tweets from AOC will automatically be translated into English: We’ve been waiting for this feature forever!
7) The Babylon Bee will be placed in charge of all fact-checking: They are the most factual and infallible site in the world.
8) Jack Dorsey will be required to tweet “Censoring conservatives makes me an enemy of freedom” 100 times: Get writing, mister!
9) Anyone who doesn’t like the changes will be offered the chance to leave and start their own social network: Conservatives are currently practicing their “smug” faces in the mirror for when they get a chance to say this.

OT: We lost our beloved Farm Cat Frey on Friday. Not dead (we pray), he just hasn’t come home. Maybe he got bored that I wasn’t going on as many farm walks with him lately. His love is the outdoors, so he loved it when we came to the farm a few months ago, we are just hoping and praying he is on an uncharacteristic adventure and not…
I remembered the parable of the lost sheep as I was walking through 130 acres of forest looking:
Luke 15:1 – Luke 15:18
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus.
2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:
4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders
6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
But I like it better in the allegedly gnostic gospel of St. Thomas:
(107) Jesus said, “The kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them, the largest, went astray. He left the ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it. When he had gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep, ‘I care for you more than the ninety-nine.'”
Because to me that help me hear the message: Love is what we give and do for others, not just what we feel.
But I am going to keep looking for my lost cat.
Best of luck to Frey
May he find his way home
A couple of years ago our cat who is part feral went missing for almost two weeks. We think he got locked in an enclosed space. When he reappeared he was quite emaciated and unsteady on his feet. We had pretty much given up hope but he showed the value of not giving up.
He’s too skittish to be affectionate but has his ways of endearing himself to us and is a heckuva good mouser.
I hope you find Frey alive and well.
