Sorry, folks. Distracted by other stuff. New post tomorrow. In the meantime, kittens and bowls. And a version of Oh-bla-di, Oh-bla-da that somehow manages to be even more annoying than the original:

Misogyny. I mock it.
I find a lot of it in what's called the "manosphere," a loose collection of Men's Rights, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), and Pickup Artist (PUA) sites.
TRIGGER WARNING: I quote some pretty extreme stuff here; also, the comments section is pretty much unfiltered, so be prepared.

I just died from the cuteness.
No really, I’m dead now.
Typing From the Grave! Tonight on Sick, Sad World.
I have NO CLUE wtf is is going on in that video, but so much cute! And omg, so many scottish folds!
I’m resenting American TV right now, for running things like “Jersey Shore” and “Real Housewives” when we could be watching kittens in bowls.
I think there’s at least as much of a market for The Kitten Channel as there is for, say, golf.
The closest thing we’re got is the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.
“…[we've] got…”
I suck at typing.
Puppy Bowl is a lie!
The puppies are not in bowls.
That’s not strictly true, David. Sometimes they crawl into the water dish.
Okay, so that was incredibly adorable, but, um, why did it happen?
I much prefer the kitten half-time show.
As for the video, I think my IQ just lowered 20 points from listening to the banter. But that’s all right, because kittenz is kyuut.
When is the Mens Rights Movement going to do something about real issues like this

?????
And….. who are the perpetrators? Why, other men of course! And its going on in the millions!
@SC:
That’s horrifying…and an entirely legit men’s right’s issue. Somehow, I doubt our MRA friends will do anything other than use it to bash feminism. Happy to be wrong…
Our MRA’s have a friend in Clive from Oxford, apparently.

“Women of child bearing age are the problem! i.e. from 15 to about 45-50. It’s why they can only work in the public sector and menial/trivial jobs like services and cleaning. Who in their right mind would hire a woman??? The REALITY is work for women is privilege not a right …”
And yes, I know people have explained blockquote tags umpteen times, but I’m dumb :p
half an hour to doctor who! time to clean my glasses, make a cuppa and find a comfy chair
Hey, I happen to like that song. Anyone know who does the version in the video?
The kitty half time show is the best part of the Puppy Bowl. Them kittens in bowls is just adorables too.
My sister’s cat Carmine in a bowl:

That was when he was a little kitten, and hilariously he continued to sleep in the same bowl when he got to be about 14 pounds. After he fell out of it in that dignified way only cats have, she got him a bigger bowl.
かわいいです! :3
Blah, I can’t wait until I can understand more Japanese so I can translate the whole video. >_<
Carmine looks like “from this bowl I shall rule the world!”
I love it that your sister got him a bigger bowl - she’s a true cat person
kristinmh: Our oldest (now sadly passed) cat would sit in shoeboxes that were clearly too small for her until they broke, then glare at us - because it was totally out fault that they broke.
My cat went missing 2 weeks ago. =( I’m suddenly bombarded with cat videos…
I don’t know what it is with cats. They seem to be magnetically drawn to things they shouldn’t sleep in.
I’m sorry, Joanna! That’s really sad. I hope your cat returns home soon.
So many adorables! So many bowls! So little time!
What is the name of that song. I’d love to find more versions of it.
Obli Di Obla Da Its by the Beatles.
