The clip, shared on TikTok on Sunday by the pets’ foster mom, under the username Youngestoldcatlady, shows the kittens all sleeping next to one another on top of their mother’s blanket, forming a perfect line. As they look at the camera with sleepy eyes, their foster mom can be heard saying: “Do you want to wake up for some dinner? You look awfully sleepy to me!” The hilarious post comes with a caption that says: “Mom has kittens all lined up....

Yet over the past nine months, Musharraf’s dictatorial bent has eroded his standing within Pakistan. The January crackdown infuriated the military’s former allies in the Islamist movement, as did his more recent decision to block insurgents from crossing into India’s half of Kashmir. He has consistently refused calls from moderate politicians to share power: despite claims that 97 percent of Pakistani voters approved an April referendum extending his presidential term for five more years, most independent poll watchers–indeed, most Pakistanis–believe the turnout was a paltry 15 to 20 percent, and the vote itself rigged....

The peritonsillar abscess is typically sandwiched between the palatine tonsil and the superior constrictor muscle (which is used in the process of swallowing food) in the back of the throat. There are three “compartments” that the abscess, or pus, typically locates in. The topmost area, called superior, is where the majority of cases of peritonsillar abscess occur. The rest occur in either the middle or lower section between the tonsil and the muscle....

While Perot has said he supports free trade, his proposal for a system of “social tariffs” seemed to destroy it. To prevent poor countries from exploiting their low wages in trade deals, Perot suggested that a tariff be imposed at the U.S. border that would completely offset the country’s wage advantage over the United States. But the tariffs would have to be huge–Mexican wages are one fifth to one twentieth those of the United States–and could well amount to several hundred percent....

Glory lead the A-League for goals from set-pieces and are second for headed goals, while no team is more successful in one-on-one duels whether on the ground or in the air. Perth rose to third in the table last week with a 2-0 win over Western Sydney Wanderers and are building momentum towards the finals as they chase a maiden A-League championship. Lowe’s side finished February alongside second-placed Melbourne Victory as the most successful team in the A-League for that month with 10 points from four matches....

The video sees a man—wearing the uniform of a Las Vegas-based pest control company—walking up to a front porch while a black cat strolls alongside him. The cat stops on the porch to drink water, and once the man reaches the porch, he turns around, leans against the wall, and kicks the cat. The cat flies through the air and lands further down the path, before running away from the house....

The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana noted: “All you have to do is google the numbers on the Obama-Biden economy versus the Trump economy. The Trump economic disaster is a matter of simple fact,” in a post Tuesday sharing a video of the interview, which has had more than 66,000 likes and 10,000 retweets since. Buttigieg was asked by MacCallum to respond to comments made by Tim Murtaugh, the director of communications for the president, who defended Trump’s economic track record just moments before Buttigieg’s interview....

“I don’t think this is really about parents’ rights. Parents’ rights to do what? Tell LGBTQ kids they don’t belong? To push LGBTQ families away and into the closet?” Buttigieg told CNN on Tuesday. “I just don’t think this is what the governor should be focusing on. I think this hurts kids. This will hurt families and this isn’t about education or parents’ rights,” he said. “I think it about using the LGBTQ community as a scapegoat, which we’ve been used as throughout multiple times in history....

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish was that her Supreme Court seat not be filled until a new president was installed. She was a champion for gender equality, among other issues rooted in fairness and justice for all. With less than 50 days until the election and voting already underway in many states, it’s important that we demand all senators pledge not to move forward with any nominee until after the next inauguration,” MoveOn....

The antiviral pill is designed to lessen symptoms of COVID-19, thereby reducing the amount of hospitalizations. Pfizer said it would grant a license for the pill to the Geneva-based Medicines Patent Pool in a statement Tuesday. This would let generic drug companies manufacture the pill for use in 95 countries. According to the Associated Press, that makes the pill available to around 53 percent of the world’s population. Some large countries that have endured COVID outbreaks are excluded, such as Brazil....

The American pharmaceutical company based in New York City has been developing a potential COVID-19 vaccine in collaboration with BioNTech, a biotechnology firm in Germany. Pfizer is expected to seek Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the third week of November “after the required safety milestone is achieved,” the company confirmed in a statement Monday. “With today’s news, we are a significant step closer to providing people around the world with a much-needed breakthrough to help bring an end to this global health crisis....

Even more importantly, the antibodies generated by a third shot appear to be able to handle the highly contagious Delta variant that largely makes up the current infections in the U.S., Pfizer said. On Wednesday, the FDA posted much of the evidence from Pfizer on booster shots to be considered by its advisory panel on Friday, AP reported. Pfizer said in the evidence that while two doses of the vaccine continue to protect people against severe infection, immunity against mild cases seems to weaken six to eight months after the second shot....

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy defended the U.S. COVID-19 vaccine booster policy while appearing on CNN’s State of the Union this Sunday, calling the decision by businesses and schools to require a COVID-19 vaccine as an “absolutely reasonable” policy. “We already know that there are many businesses and universities that have moved toward vaccine requirements, and I think it’s a very reasonable thing to do to create a safe environment,” he said....

And if you’re keeping score at home when it comes to laughs in the hockey world, Phil Kessel is most certainly laughing last, and laughing best. And it’s high time people stop laughing at Kessel altogether, for the 29-year-old forward is not only deserving of respect, but has consistently shown he will humiliate all who disrespect him. MORE: David Pastrnak is staying put, Bruins GM Don Sweeney says The latest act took place on Kessel’s Instagram Monday, when the now two-time Stanley Cup champion winger posted a photo of himself eating hot dogs out of the Stanley Cup....
