Good question! I hope they let her have at least one. Sounds like she does have other implements already provided by her human guardian, who is very proud of her.
According to Sir pTerry Pratchett Cows have two brains. I wonder which one figured all this out, and has she told the other one? (The mother of invention is always a female.)
There is so much we donβt know about the creatures with whom we share the planet. If we could stop pre-judging and projecting and just start observing, what could we learn?

However, we are now starting to be sensitive enough to observe them and give, at least to a few of them, the life they deserve, one in which they have the opportunity to play, interact with objects, and discover how to use them on their own.β
Holy mother of pearl, that article about the cop and his overtime pay. Sweet gig if you can get it, I guess, because it sounds like about 80% of his hours are bullshit.
I'm sure someone pointed this out already, but the link that's supposed to go to the court order about telling DHS to stop sending people to Texas and bring back all the ones already sent there, instead goes to the Wonkette PayPal donation site.

There is a new christofascist group slinking into the poolitical arena. They want to overturn Obergefell, claiming that same sex marriage is child abuse! They call themselves Greater Than and are using as their logo a distortion of the Human Rights Campaign's logo, a yellow equals sign on a blue background. These cretins have adopted a yellow greater than sign on a blue background as their logo. They failed to notice that the greater than sign puts the greater on the left.

Re: that Oakland cop, I used to work for a state agency that worked hand in hand with the highway patrol, our state police. They routinely "work" overtime running security for highway construction or maintenance projects, and also on film sets statewide. They were allowed to take paid time off on a regular workday to pull an overtime shift doing security. Sketchy enough, but then their agency also had to call in another officer on their day off on overtime to cover for the other officer who took the day off with pay to work an overtime shift elsewhere. Fucking bullshit.
Jesus H. Tap Dancing Christ, how do they even find these cretins?
Among the new hires at CBS announced by Bari Weiss is a doctor who has claimed that he has reduced his biological age by 20 years with therapies including cold plunges; that cod liver oil can treat autism and that conditions like Alzheimerβs and dementia can be reversed with the kind of nutritional supplements he also sells on his online store.

Girl cows got horns?
(just a city slicker -- or maybe that should be "slacker" -- here)
Technically, all cows are girl cows. The boys are called bulls.
I need to know this.
When the researchers finished their studies, did they take the brooms back?
Good question! I hope they let her have at least one. Sounds like she does have other implements already provided by her human guardian, who is very proud of her.
Are you the ones who linked me to this? Because it showed up in my YouTube night before last and it made cold cynical me SO HAPPY.
Still, now I'm wondering - when she wants to flip the broom around, can she maneuver it with her mouth, or does she spit it out and pick it up again?
That cow is adorable!
Veronika the Cow
can scratch her back
whenever she wants to
imagine that
According to Sir pTerry Pratchett Cows have two brains. I wonder which one figured all this out, and has she told the other one? (The mother of invention is always a female.)
Try telling that to Frank Zappa.
Is it just me, or does that gif make other people have to run to the bathroom to apply some Cetaphil?
Bag Balm.
Any relation to L Frank Balm?

Ooh, Veronika cow, big whoop! What about Betty cow, huh?
"Don't have a cow, man."
Idioms. Gotta love 'em.
Cash Cow
Veronika could make some cash
If she went out on tour
Because it is a simple case
Of I'll scratch my back
You scratch yours
Cow-a-bunga!
Oh sure, everyone's marveling now, but next thing you know it'll be pitchforks and automatic weapons and a widespread, riotous cowvolution.
Obligatory:

bad cow puns
bad cow pies
Antifa Commander, you have set a new bar for Hokey. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Today the pasture, tomorrow the world. An existential threat to hooman dominance
I, for one, am looking forward to my new bovine overlords.
Yeah, they can be bought off with hay!
There's a joke about "The Say-Hay Kid" lurking in there to be teased out, but I'm too lazy.
Holy cow!
Amazing! Animals are a lot more intelligent than we give them credit for.

She's a good one that cow. Psoriasis has gotten the best of her. But she persists!
Why does David Brooks still have a job?
Zog almighty, that article on the Oakland PD. A cop making almost $900K for reviewing traffic collisions? I need to rethink my career choices.

I hope Marimar Martinez sues the shit out of the federal government people like Tricia McGlaughlin.
That header picture's nothing but a bunch of bull.

My take is that "this is not a repeat post from 1899".
