This reminds me of something our dog would do that we called "Silly Head"--she'd just open her mouth and waive it around and she seemed like it was a fun and silly thing for her!
I'd want to know what they sound like. I listened to a video of the calls of various big cats, and found that the lynx, while looking ferocious, has the quietest little *merp*.
My parents wouldn’t play that with me and I didn’t have a lot of friends, so I would pretend they were my pets and just feed them one at a time with the marbles.
I'm sorry your parents wouldn't play with you. I found it annoying and noisy, but I played it with my kids, along with Chutes and Ladders and that one with the different colored lights that you had to parrot the sequence that the toy diid first. I think it was called Simon Says, but my kids are 45 and 52 now, I'm lucky I remember their names, much less the name of their toys.
No, ir doesn't. It RAISES the question. "Begging the question" is a term of art in logic. which means something completely different. Readers Digest version, it means attempting to defend whatever you are trying to prove while assuming that whatever that is is true. Sort of Republicans attempting to claim they are only interested in eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse by cutting funding ruthlessly, as if fraud, waste and abuse are a thing.
As a veteran, and granted I have been out for sixty years now, it isn't quite what you think. The need for secrecy is real, and so is the need for continually improving weaponry. If you have never in your life tried something which looked and sounded promising but didn't live up to what it was supposed to do, the Pentagon would love to hear from you on how you did it. Meanwhile, at local levels, troops are saving in ways I doubt any other government agency (and certainly no business) would do. I was in so long ago that we still used adding machines with paper tape. I remember not tearing them off so we could re-roll them and use the back side. If they were wide enough, we could use them four times. Please understand that under the current regime I don't expect to see much economy. The current administration has other priorities.
The video'd Hatch Act violation is not running at Boston's Logan Airport. Massport tells The Boston Globe they haven't been asked to run it yet. I am sure that is technically correct.
I'm sitting in an airport halfway around the world right now, headed home of BOS via LAX. I'd be very pleased not to have to watch this in Los Angeles as well.
The wheels are coming off, Donnie. You just don't know it yet, because no one will tell you.
Promising sign that there are some right-ish outlets also refusing to fill Hegseth's glass on this.
They have moved solidly into overreach, and they're losing support because of it. It really does look like a race between imposing full extralegal authoritarianism and being subjected to the voters another time.
Trump probably still thinks he's the bees knees, but some of the rest of them have to know they are heading for a big loss at the ballot box. So what do they do between now and next November?
Optimistically, I am thinking the system might just hold.
Mike Johnson "queened out?" What's with Evan Hurst using gay terms as perjoratives? In previous articles Evan Hurst has used twink as a put down as well. "Petty snotnosed little twink" April 26, 2024, referencing the New York Times, for one. Is it homophobia?
I know. Gay on gay homophobia is a thing. It's not just confined to Log Cabins. Are you familiar with phrases like, I pass for straight, or masc for masc? Cis-gendered gay men casually mocking the behavior of other types of gay self expression is common and unatractive.
Thank dog that statistically speaking, he's likely to get to the end before me, so I should have some idea as to where I want to go when my turn comes. Wherever that fat fuck isn't, thank you very much.
I, a 57 year old woman, started watching the Taylor Eras tour concert on Disney last night. I only made it about an hour in for reasons that have nothing to do with the show, which I found fun and gorgeous.
I love how Jeff Teidrich calls these guys meal team six. Look at the bright side. The restaurants are refusing to feed them. Better load them up with low cal MRE’s. All the aimlessly walking around and picking up trash should get them into shape in no time.
Can the Secretary of Warfence actually **fire** Texas National Guard members? Isn't that up to the head of the Texas National Guard. Even replacing them doesn't sound like something Kegsbreath can do, only request. But what do I know, I live in Michigan.

Those protester costumes in Portland are getting so realistic!
worlds' deadliest vegetarians.
Kill more people than their fellow carnivores
Hippoboopamus.
Adorable

There once was a baby hippo
Who tried to give mama a nippo
When he gave it a go
Mama said no
Mama don't want any lippo.
God, you're good.
Baby Hippos sure seem to have the right energy for this moment.
Hangry hangry hipper
A babby hippo insurrection!
Babby mini hippo is the mini-est hippo.
Well, that's my Christmas present sorted.
I wish there was volume, I bet they sound...interesting
I also wish Hugo a long happy life and many happy returns to Penelope and Jahari!
I'd want to know what they sound like. I listened to a video of the calls of various big cats, and found that the lynx, while looking ferocious, has the quietest little *merp*.
Happy hippos!
Better than hungry, hungry hippos. That game was annoying.
My parents wouldn’t play that with me and I didn’t have a lot of friends, so I would pretend they were my pets and just feed them one at a time with the marbles.

I opted for Merlin, the one that had multiple games and you could program to play simple songs. I still can hear it playing "The Ode To Joy'.
Simon! That was the one with the colored lights!
IMA EATCHOO MOMMY! EATCHOO ALL UP! NOM NOM NOM!
Where'd they film that, some kind of Hippo Campus?
Live! At the Hippodrome!

"It begs the question who's funding it."
No, ir doesn't. It RAISES the question. "Begging the question" is a term of art in logic. which means something completely different.

Sort of Republicans attempting to claim they are only interested in eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse by cutting funding ruthlessly, as if fraud, waste and abuse are a thing.
I'll believe the latter if and when I get to look over an auditor's report on the Pentagon.
As a veteran, and granted I have been out for sixty years now, it isn't quite what you think. The need for secrecy is real, and so is the need for continually improving weaponry.

Though not listed, I presume that Wonkette has told Pete Kegsbreath to fuck off on his reporting requirements, too.
I was out running errands today and didn't see a single flag at half-staff.
Don't these people know it's Charlie Kirk Day?

The wheels are coming off, Donnie. You just don't know it yet, because no one will tell you.
Just cleared customs at LAX, which sends one through a different TSA checkpoint, but there was no Botox Barbie there at least.
Just saw a news story that it won't be playing at Atlanta's airport either.
It's the little things. Each is one of those pebbles that eventually triggers the avalanche.

More likely the fact that Evan's gay.
Those people talk like that.

"BEG" (the question) HARDER, you pathetic shits.
The Republic does not exist by the Constitution alone, but by every piece of bread the National Guard can stuff into their mouths.
Carbs for the win!
Wow. Justice Kegstand’s claim that citizens and legal residents have nothing to fear from ICE’s policy of stop and zip tie is starting to look hollow.
Get into Heaven????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mr Duffy: "...This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."
Yeah, I really needed funding assistance for my hand made posters. Must get my [surveys protest supplies] $10.43 reimbursement or I'll just give up!
If you were a teacher, you could write it off.
We may pay our teachers shit, but we do have a tax deduction for educational materials bought with personal funds.
I'm still waiting for my big Soros check from the last protest.
Aren't we all.
if only the Texas National Guard knew the easiest way to escape deployment to fat abbott's operation lone star was to eat even MOAR tacos. . .
Our forces will be decimated as 'nog season ramps up.

Local police won't let puppy-killing Botox Barbie in their facilities to lift her leg either.

It’s fun that he just mocks and humiliates them , isn’t it…?
