Gift link to WAPO. A kitten found by the side of the road, named Gelato, was unable to walk. At one pound, Gelato was too small to use the usual wheelchair. So the worker developed a harness using rulers, tape and toy cars. Beyond adorable.
Ta, Martini, I appreciate the education. I'm a small person, and appreciate the Extinct Mammals display at AMNH in my city. The cave bear had me in awe even before I read the books about Ayla and her Clan.
I once read that human babies have these cute features so that humans will feel care for them. So I wondered about animals like this cute baby bear- do their mothers care because the babies are cute? Or is it so humans care? So, so cute!
All babies, whatever species.. are cute naturally. They tend to have large heads, large eyes and are fairly helpless. Most animals are more nuturing of a 'helpless' infant. Which is why it's recommended to get a young kitten/puppy to introduce into a established 'family'. They present no threat and want to cuddle/seek the heat of a body. Which wakes up the caring and defensive instinct. Manipulation at its best and outrst form. 🩷 Heartwarming to see, especially when often the animals might be predator vs prey.
Awwwwww, they are so cute. There were once some seriously scary beasts wandering our continent; imagine today’s morons trying to take a selfie with a dire wolf.
I want to put in a plug for the Kilham Bear Center in Lyme , NH, not far from where live. They take in orphaned black bears and raise them so that they can successfully be returned to the wild, which means no visitors. But they do post videos, and the cubs are "a doorbell" as my daughter would say when she was little.
I didn't get the name of the person who posted it, but my favorite description of RFK the Lesser's voice was "the sound of a frozen kielbasa going down a garbage disposal".

The top gif made me think. If you're a baby bear, what are the best things to sleep on?
Clearly #1: Sleep on mama bear. I would think #2 would be: Big Comfy Field of Grass. Tree branch is probably pretty good, so maybe #3? Ground with rocks and crap is probably the worst at #4. Warm beach with ocean sounds would be up there, but I'm not sure non-polar bears go to the beach much.
Mitch McConnell put on notice by defiant Kentucky governor as major deadline looms
Amid lingering unanswered questions about Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) health, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear put the Senate Republican on notice Monday that all options remained on the table in the event of a Senate vacancy, despite state law to the contrary.
“I know there are a lot of folks wondering about the significance of August 3 regarding a potential Senate vacancy,” Beshear said in a statement published on social media. “I want everyone to know that this date has no legal impact on my options should there be a vacancy this year.”
That deadline landed Monday, meaning that should McConnell’s seat be declared vacant before the end of the day Monday, a special election would be called.
I don’t think there’s going to be any announcement from Turtle’s people today. Refusing to let go of the seat even when incapacitated is on-brand for a guy who’s best known for stonewalling government business. And as Beshear pointed out, that means one less Republican vote in the Senate until the end of the year.
RFK Jr.'s staff shuts down questions as he admits he eats 'stuff I find on the street'
"…I will literally eat anything… I don't have a gag reflex," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Chambers. "When I travel, I'll eat, you know, even stuff I find on the street, you know, street vendors, cooking."
"Like, is there stuff that you've eaten that people are like, wow. You ate that," Chambers asked.
"You mean, like, something gross? Or?" Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replied.
"Yes. Maybe gross for others. Yeah. Not for you," Chambers said.
"I'm getting a signal not to answer that question," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, shutting down the line of questioning.
"I eat stuff I find on the street" implies he's eating roadkill or trash. What I think he was trying to say was "I eat stuff from food trucks or street vendors" which is a perfectly normal thing to do when traveling, especially in a major city.
But to the conservatrolls, food trucks are evil, so that's probably why he clammed up.
I believe he has admitted to eating roadkill. I think his staff knew this and stopped him from admitting it again. Who is going to trust someone who eats roadkill. Hell he strapped a whale head to his car. The dude is sick in the head.
OK, OK...everybody take a deep breath, this is a LOT.
You see that second Bluesky link up there? The one where Senator Foghorn Leghorn says, "Trump grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought"? Well if you look closely, you'll notice that SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY IS WEARING A TAN SUIT ON MEET THE PRESS AND SOMEHOW IT HASN'T BROUGHT ABOUT THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD! THANKS OBAMA!

Happy cub cuddling with mama. Lovely image to replace all the garbage in the news.

Thank you for the excellent image. I'm imagining Miller being mauled at the moment. Next up is ... ,
so long as the mauler is his opponent, poindexter.

I love their work and their Instagram feed 🥰
Baby Bear seems to be having a hard time getting comfortable
Martini, I have to take this opportunity to share our memorial bear to Jonny on Maui. He's been welcoming everyone to the cabin for years.
https://substack.com/profile/439485293-holly-lima-charlie/note/c-307187988
Endeavor to live your life in such a way that you may be honored with a memorial bear.
Truly, that's a lovely and worthy tribute.
Jonny was and will remain one of the finest Wonks that ever was. Jonny and MGT on Maui's story will remain one of the greatest in Wonkette history.
Yes. And may I say, takes one to know one. 🙂
(❁´◡`❁)
Love all the bees! And daisies! Daisies are my favorite.
Jonny has seasonal solar lights. Bees in the spring/summer. Pumpkins in the fall and snowflakes when the snow starts to fly.
Babby black bear butts are adorbs and this fucking administration wants to kill them. I wish someone would 86 this entire regime.
Foz! Fozzy babby Bear is fozzy! Awwww...
Looks delicious.

Objection your honor, assumes thought not in evidence.

Is the footprint in Max Miller's cabinet the same one from NCIS, Year 14, episode 5, Friends and Lovers?

Come on inside
Apparently Moreno finally was shamed into speaking up for his daughter and granddaughter.

Kennedy says Trump “grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought.”, and Moreno looked up male friends on a website for some reason!
if donald thinks it's so easy to slash and grab the pool lining, he ought to go try it himself. otherwise he should, as always, STFU
