U.S.: Here’s a random awesome shot from the White House

  • We seriously hope that every president considers doing like the White House Flickr feed in the future. (In this pic, he’s talking to a bunch of advisers about Afghanistan. We will say this much: It’s telling that only one of them is female.) You feel like you’re really on the inside with these photos. And they make a great document for future generations. Isn’t it great that we have a president who gets social media? source

Offbeat: Catstravaganza’s last, but not least: A cat sitting in the sink

Aww, kitty clogged the drain
  • We’ve seen so many cat photos today that our brain is about to explode with cuteness. But we had to do it. It was for the common good of society. This last photo comes from Nicole Bogdas. It’s of Dillinger, one of many gangster-themed cats she named in her e-mail. You’ve got all the makings of a crazy cat lady, Nicole!
