That cat has seen some things

That cat was seeing a bird or bird equivalent when the picture was taken. It was almost certainly chirping, and probably wiggling its butt, preparing to pounce.

His right hand looks like AI flubbed it. That's a hard fuckin' life. That he has such a kitten, this photo is a classic.

"trade unionist" is an odd title to give someone. It's so generic. Which trade? Or call him "Union Organizer" if he worked with many trades.
