The Memphis Zoo is well worth a visit. It is in the same park as the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, so you can do a twofer and make a day of it with a picnic lunch.
TBF, what with all the *other* unidentifiable white guys running around in masks and tac gear assaulting people right now, it would be hard to tell him apart from the rest.
The old squeaky tank is a Sherman tank. We built thousands of them to fight the Nazis in WW2. I will defend the old squeaky tank as a defender of our freedom. And to fight against ageism, sort of.
Well, with one thing and an otter, the WSJ ran a column over the weekend telling trump to change his deportation policies. Point being that trump is beginning to annoy the rich. Something I aspire to myself, but from a different direction.
WSJ headline: "Mass Deportation . . . Except at Hotels?
Trump says businesses report losing ‘very good, long time workers.’ How about changing policy?"
Unfortunately, it appears that the orange blob's waiver for hospitality, agricultural, and selected workers has been revoked, per his social media post last night. He has decreed that ICE is now charged with the biggest mass deportation event in history. The man-baby is furious that his big, beautiful parade was a dud, and that the protests were so huge.
That's distressing news. I was hoping that some portion of hard working undocumented people would be able to fly under the radar. trump is such a scumbag.
But, but I thought Mexico sent murderers and rapists. I guess the “very good, long time workers” are the “some, [Trump] assumes, are good people.” Are those like 2% or 10% or 35% of the otherwise murdering and raping group?

Some of the commenters here were convinced Boelter had committed suicide. I kept my keyboard shut about it, but in the little info that dribbled out about him I immediately recognized the execrable evangelical self-righteous certainty coupled with cowardice and fear that I thought made suicide very unlikely.
?? There was absolutely no hint that he had offed himself in any reporting that I saw. I would hope that Wonkistas would know to read news before talking about it.
I'm sure Bleater, er Boelter thinks trump will exonerate him. That ain't gonna happen because no president can interfere in a state case. trump might try, but he won't succeed.
Minnesota has already arrested Boelter and charged him with first degree murder. The feds are also talking about charging him, but those charges would not supersede Minnesota's. If you recall, before this past election, several of the tumpites charged with election interference in GA kept trying (unsuccessfully) to move their cases to federal courts. This was primarily because they would have a chance of being absolved if (or as it turns out when) trump won.
Asshole was too stupid to realize all he needed to do was cross state lines to make it a federal case and let Chump pardon him (for one million dollars).
You, you, you... otter know (about today's gif info): https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/otter-snuggle-pile
And your meme chat for today: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/f88ddd43-a630-4102-a91e-7aa6d8963c29
Everyone should keep a tub of fresh otters handy for parties.
Husband was like, "why do they have a kettle of otter babies for stewing?"
Otters swim, and play, and eat fish.
That's a pretty good job, being an otter.
So THAT is what they do with the wash tub when Emmett Otter's Jug Band isn't performing a Christmas special!!
What’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? A bucket of otters!
Why I otter
"Who you callin' small-clawed?"
Who threw the otters in Mrs Murphy's chowder?
It must have been the guy who wasn't there
Where's the pot of potted otters Otter Potter potted?
You otter know how ADORABLE those cuddle buddies are..
The Memphis Zoo is well worth a visit. It is in the same park as the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, so you can do a twofer and make a day of it with a picnic lunch.
Writes down
I have a bucket that closely resembles that otter container. Foolishly, I have a planter in mine...
From that pot, I'm horrified that these otters are going to be part of a sous vide dinner.
So sweet!
Best said in your best Moe Howard, "Why, I really otter, I really, really otter..."
After the weekend that was, immersion in a bucket of otters, away from the bullshit permeated political reality seems therapeutic...
It's good in Peewee's voice also too. Or Oliver Hardy, of course.
And now I'll have Alanis in my head all day. Which is not such a bad thing.

The squeaky tanks are Korean vintage. Putin would sell Trump's nuts for some tanks that good. A mixed blessing at best.
+1 for the Scratch Perry track!
The old squeaky tank is a Sherman tank. We built thousands of them to fight the Nazis in WW2. I will defend the old squeaky tank as a defender of our freedom. And to fight against ageism, sort of.
Whar bucket? Y'all didn't think "Washtub of Otters" was funny enough?
Roman themed security company? I bet saluting was required.
" Now congugate the the fuckin' verb!"
Monday's and Tab's in the morning ☕💯👍
Sure, a bucket full of otters is cute, but what about a box full of snakes?
https://bsky.app/profile/stansaidairport.bsky.social/post/3lrqcbuw37c2u
Okay, at that point, more a conveyor belt covered in snakes . . .
Jebus.
Were they loading, or unloading?
Looks like unloading. I enjoyed the occasional scream in the background as another snake slides off the conveyor belt.
Rubio yawned, Melania apparently napped and the big fat TACO looked pissedm but I'm surprised he didn't snooze through this whole snoozefest.
He was too busy moving his bowels to sleep.
i am questioning whether that was the 'real' Melania. Her face looked too full
Her eyes weren’t as squinty.
Chinese-eyed Melania smiles too much.
One whole day without wonkette, and I missed you guys so much!
I don't believe I can fly.
Always trust your cape.

Taco loco.
But, but I thought Mexico sent murderers and rapists. I guess the “very good, long time workers” are the “some, [Trump] assumes, are good people.” Are those like 2% or 10% or 35% of the otherwise murdering and raping group?
There are striations even within the murdering raping subset. Fucking scum, man.

(in me best Brando voice) Unrelated to what?
Unrelatudid ta that Deputy Rufus L. Dawg had nuthin ta do with it! Yes caus he was inna car doesn't mean... woah! Look over there! Uh immigrant!

The amateurish No Kings fliers run off at the local Kinko's convinced me he thought he'd get away with it and be able to blame the Democrats.
Well, that one usually works.
Not Kinkos because there were like 2, count 'em two! flyers that said "No Kings" the rest looked like blank paper.
BUT! BUT! Did he have enough guns?
?? There was absolutely no hint that he had offed himself in any reporting that I saw. I would hope that Wonkistas would know to read news before talking about it.
Some here were more or less hoping he would, to save trouble. I'd much rather be able to study the sumbitch for the rest of his miserable life.
Same here! I want him apprehended and forced to testify why he did it.
I'm sure Bleater, er Boelter thinks trump will exonerate him. That ain't gonna happen because no president can interfere in a state case. trump might try, but he won't succeed.
That's what worries me. The trump pardoning him after being found guilty of federal charges
Minnesota has already arrested Boelter and charged him with first degree murder. The feds are also talking about charging him, but those charges would not supersede Minnesota's. If you recall, before this past election, several of the tumpites charged with election interference in GA kept trying (unsuccessfully) to move their cases to federal courts. This was primarily because they would have a chance of being absolved if (or as it turns out when) trump won.
Asshole was too stupid to realize all he needed to do was cross state lines to make it a federal case and let Chump pardon him (for one million dollars).
News bulletin from NYT says Boelter has now been charged with federal crimes. But the state charges still stand.
Certainly not in Minnesota.
