Cats = no mice. Decades ago while living in a NYC tenement, I got mice. My neighbor recommended a cat. I adopted a cat, and within a couple of weeks, no more mice. I've been a cat owner ever since.
"Did anybody tell him about the Oracle at Delphi?"

There is no way on earth that Lord Goldfish was referencing that story. He doesn't read classical literature, because he doesn't read anything.
It was more of that cutesy plausible deniability bullshit, because he's fundamentally dishonest and cowardly at his core, and thinks that "I didn't make a specific point of saying I WILL NUKE IRAN in those exact words" is a magic eraser and everybody is obligated to join the pretense.
"Mister President, it is both my constitutional right, and my civic duty, to point out that you are not telling the truth."
... is a thing WH journos should have been saying since January 2017.
Because they haven't, we are now here:
"Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible 'reporting.' Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
fuckety fuck fuck and let's see some journalistic spine please. god knows we need it.
I am, but other people don't have to be. But that Dropsite News piece is complete bullshit. She's already said she won't take AIPAC money, so there's no reason she'd write an "outstanding" position paper to get their money.
That was what I wanted to hear... I have no problem with someone not wanting to embrace some "podcaster" especially one with some incendiary statements.
Oh my divine editrix the tab about Croesus and Cyrus does have an ending worth the read.
(Nutshell version from me)
Once upon a time Croesus had a dinner guest, Solon the Greek, who was UNIMPRESSED with Croesus's gilded dinner ware and vast wealth. Croesus, irked by the Greek wise man's ennui with gold and jewels and luxury in general, demanded examples of people who Solon found impressive and worth emulation. Solon then bored Croesus with examples of GOOD, DECENT, BRAVE, MORAL and TEMPERATE people who all died happily and none of whom had accumulated hordes of wealth. Croesus sneered at Solon's loser, low energy, sad way of looking at things and dismissed the Greek philosopher.
Later, Cyrus captured Croesus and was stoking a bonfire to toss Croesus into. (In those days that was the only 25th Amendment that those guys used.) Croesus felt the heat and lamented his sad fate and cried out "O Solon! You were right! How I wish I had listened to you!"
Cyrus, puzzled about who this 'Solon' might be, asked Croesus what the fuck he was talking about. Croesus told him and Cyrus spared Croesus life! Cyrus even elevated Croesus to a place as a trusted advisor.
Solon, meanwhile, had wandered back to Athens to found Athenian democracy.
I have helped deliver a few babies in my time. There are few things that bring women together like the birth of a new member of the human family. A bond is forged between women during the labor and delivery process that perpetuates an intimacy rarely experienced between human beings.
No matter how many times I've seen it the birth process overwhelms me emotionally every single time. Those first moments of a newborn and its' mother bonding is perhaps the most beautiful relationship we are allowed to witness.

Rare footage from the opening reception of their recent strategic conference. The various ambassadors greet each other in the customary European way.
They're waving their sensors at each other. A breakthrough in interspecies relations.
I'd love to know what either of them were thinking. I assume it was "food/not food?" but still...
OMG... 𝙍𝑼𝙉!... LOL...
Tab's with Coffee in the Morning ☕🤓💯👍
Amazing lovers!
Snail zoomies!
Hah!
True fact: Snail mucin is harvested with snail squeegees.
Snail snot, which according to the comic series "Aztec Ace" is essential to time travel. I really need to reread that series...
I love mice. I just wish they'd stay out of our house.
Cats = no mice. Decades ago while living in a NYC tenement, I got mice. My neighbor recommended a cat. I adopted a cat, and within a couple of weeks, no more mice. I've been a cat owner ever since.
Plus, you get a cat and a cat gets a home. Win-win!
Say what? Could you speak up, please?
:)
Snort
btw this is for yesterday, I was out and about all day
The Lioness likes

Quick, someone write a new Fleetwood Mac song.
It's a smoochie!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The Snail and The Mouse

askance
daw
Oh how adorable, but now, I have the Shellakybooky song in my head.
WHAR PRINCE?
I love smol things, what wonderful tabs!
I just want to say, because I enjoy pointing it out, the South Korean Parliament does NOT fuck around.
Now that we've got this whole Iran thing sorted out, can we go back to releasing the rest of the Epstein Files?

I imagine he thinks Oracle and Delphi are AIs.
"Did anybody tell him about the Oracle at Delphi? No, that would probably be too subtle."
`
Also, IIRC, the Oracle was a woman, and therefore not worth listening to.

I just bought 'Burn the Haystack', by Jennie Young, through Bookshop and it showed up on the very day it was released.
It is excellent.
yeah I think McMorrow is an icky centrist cosplaying as a populist and she is very cute and likeable but, um, no thank you. Abdul El-Sayed seems like the real deal, not to mention brilliant w/ an impressive resume and been on the right side and out front on every issue and muy guapo. In a time of rampant Islamaphobia I'd love to see him win. Loved McMorrows first viral video where she defended LGBTQ people but..... https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/mallory-mcmorrow-michigan-dem-senate-candidate-aipac-israel-position-paper, https://www.levernews.com/the-clickbait-candidate-who-forgot-to-vote/
love her. saw her in chi 2 years ago (4 years ago?). she's also the real deal. also, not 'icky'. we fucking need centrists in certain places.
no problem with differences in opinions about candidates but whoever gets out of the primary gets my full support.
I have been following Abdul El Sayed since his podcast for Crooked Media during the Covid pandemic. I much prefer him
Isn't our Queen a big McMorrow supporter? Or am I confused??🤔
I am, but other people don't have to be. But that Dropsite News piece is complete bullshit. She's already said she won't take AIPAC money, so there's no reason she'd write an "outstanding" position paper to get their money.

Pedo47 is going to hold an auction to sell off the papers he stole after he leaves office.
Whales have better birthing plans and post-natal care than humans under GOP administrations.
The whales are just beautiful.

Ants are better organized than GOP administrations.
Ants are organizational geniuses.
