Amazing. Nature is really something, that crest! Part of a larger solution that has kept Royal Flycatchers prospering for all this time. They are really striking creatures...
Imagine if crests and cresting caught on amongst the humans... Singles bars crowded with crest-bros beneath huge elaborate A1 powered crests...
"“There is not a single woman who said, ‘Yes, I was trafficked by Epstein to Trump,’” Kelly remarked, asserting there’s no “smoking gun” linking Trump to Epstein. “There’s one who says Trump walked into a house with Epstein and allegedly fondled her upon meeting her, OK?” she continued, apparently oblivious to the fact she’d just described a sex crime. “That’s the best they have so far.”
Walking into a house with a pedophile and sexually assaulting a complete stranger who’s presumably underage sounds pretty bad, Megyn."
"Trump said he's looking forward to having a "civil" meeting with incoming New York City Mayor Zohram Mamdani. "I was hitting a little hard, too, in all fairness," Trump told Fox News on Friday."[HuffPost]
Due to a fuckton of public pressure, the Coasties have rescinded their change on the status of the swastika, etc. (Good work, people!). HOWEVER, if there is not a transparent investigation into whose idea this was, who approved it and serious consequences for those involved- then this is just cosmetic.
Dems don’t like it when our representatives do hinky shit. We probably try to deny it at first, saying it’s just the GOP lying about it, which to be fair is often the case. But when it turns out to be true? We say “Fuck those fuckers we trusted; send them to prison!” On the other hand, when the shoe is on the other foot, the Cult says “FAKENEWSFAKENEWSLALALALALALALALAL; send him to the White House!”
It seems the the republican funny times are getting better. The MSM is asleep at the wheel BUT I GOT WONKETTE! (JON WAYNE-I GOT TEXAS) Spotted two (2) DOWNEY WOODPECKERS swinging on the suet feeder this morning! LIFE IS GOOD!
Same. But when people say “How can you bear all the ads and the political shit?” I say I don’t have any of that, because I have relentlessly culled it from my feed. EVERY ad I block and report. EVERY suggested Follow I delete. EVERY political post I ignore, and if it’s loathsome I unfriendly the person. Eventually it gets down to a dull background mutter, maybe one or two things I don’t want to see per day. It’s worth it to me.
Yeah, I have a really good browser extension that blocks ads/promoted posts and basically renders the algorithm moot by forcing my feed to be in chronological order. Without that, I don't think I could stand it.
“It speaks volumes that tomorrow we have a communist coming to the White House because that’s who the Democrat Party elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country,” she said during a Thursday press briefing. [HuffPost]
Oh CaroLyin if I was a journalist there, this is what I would say
Back to you:
“ it speaks volumes that just a couple of days ago the White House hosted with a state dinner a man from Saudi Arabia who chopped up one of our fellow journalists”
Ok, which one of you fuckaducks sent a rancid fruit cake to the ICE facility in Dallas?!
DALLAS — Hazmat crews on Friday morning responded to the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, where a suspicious package was found, but police say there was no threat.
In this deposition, I misspoke--I wanted the word "clausterphobia" but it wasn't coming to me, so I said "agoraphobia, wait, that's not it, claustrophobia?" and the lady was like, "I don't know what that is" so I said, "I misspoke--claustrophobia?" and she said, "I think agoraphobia is fear of spiders* I don't fear spiders".
"Yeah, no--I misspoke, I meant claustrophobia."
"I love spiders, actually. Why are you saying I fear spiders?"
She was really distracted for the rest of the deposition because she had to tell me how much she LOVES spiders and I was like "I wish this day never happened".
She's not even right! Isn't it arachnophobia that's fear of spiders? Isn't agoraphobia fear of going out of the house? Or fear of big open spaces, something like that? OMG, how frustrating for you.
Agoraphobia is fear of open spaces and contact with other people; "agora" in the sense of the "public marketplace" the Libertarians are always blathering on about. Arachnophobia is a 1990 movie with Jeff Daniels and John Goodman.

One fine day as I was a-walkin' down the street
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket
In his tin cup I did drop it
I heard him say as I made my retreat
Chorus
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
"May an elephant caress you with his toes"
"May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose"
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
Talk about an ecological niche ...
I mean, how many flys could there be that truly qualify as “royal”?
“Respectable”, sure; “eminent”, maybe; plus you just know they’re inbred AF. 🪰
I had to rely on tight jeans and my nerdish personality.
They are really running out of ideas for the next Jurassic Park movie
Sharknado isn’t enough?
WTH?! Sparrow with a butterfly hitching a ride?
Is it wrong how many dick jokes went through my head even before I saw this flagrant creature is called a Royal Flycatcher?
YES
He’s got morning hood, he’s got a hat-on.
except he's a she
Oh, damn! I figured it was a he due to the flamboyant crest!
That anything THAT magnificent subsists on a diet consisting of common flies further demonstrates the teasing caprice of nature.
You can dress 'em up,
but you can't take 'em out.
When we both fluff up our crests
And I stare into your eyes
I know you really love me
Now, let's go eat some flies.
LET'S FLY AWAY TOGETHER!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that birdie must be a descendant of a dinosaur in Jurassic Park! Come on, you all saw it.
Birdie awesome, too.
Royal Butterfly Catcher, amiright?
Amazing. Nature is really something, that crest! Part of a larger solution that has kept Royal Flycatchers prospering for all this time. They are really striking creatures...

I was imagining the guy in the gif as lifting his crest and being all "HEY LADIES!"
but it's a lady
No reason she couldn't be all "HEY LADIES" also
Don't give them ideas.
Oh my, what a ravishing (yet 𝕤𝕙𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤) fan dancer! ❣️
holy shit, it really is a fly catcher XD
Birdie and TABS coordinated their outfits, how cute!
Royal, indeed!
Trump is under the mistaken notion that the Saudis can spend more money than they have. Because that's how he rolls.
Hey Harvard Crimson. Is there a link that connects Larry Summers, Dershowitz and Epstein? Let the sleuthing begin.
Those darned kids could put their time to better use on this than investigating whether the old amusement park is haunted.
Megyn Kelly, via HuffPost:
"“There is not a single woman who said, ‘Yes, I was trafficked by Epstein to Trump,’” Kelly remarked, asserting there’s no “smoking gun” linking Trump to Epstein. “There’s one who says Trump walked into a house with Epstein and allegedly fondled her upon meeting her, OK?” she continued, apparently oblivious to the fact she’d just described a sex crime. “That’s the best they have so far.”
Walking into a house with a pedophile and sexually assaulting a complete stranger who’s presumably underage sounds pretty bad, Megyn."
What about the thirteen-year-old who had to give him a handjob and a blowjob and then was raped by Chump?
Sobbing that she was a virgin got, "You should be thanking me for taking your virginity instead of some pimply teenager."
Does that count, Megyn?

It ends at Hegseth's desk. Her fired the last USCG boss for the crimes of being female and DEIing with intent to be humane.
That's the best video I've seen in a while. Thank you.

To myself-AINT GOT A HOT TUB!
I know i need to get off Facebook but its so damn convenient.
I "took a break" in 2017 and I never went back. I'm also lonely as hell, so grain of salt.

Who new is running for California Governor today?

"populist billionaire"
OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOT ANOTHER ONE
anyone who boys for this guy should have their empty head candled
He gave a lot of money to the Prop 50 cause and campaigned for Newsome so there is that.
From Karoline K. Kleavage:
“It speaks volumes that tomorrow we have a communist coming to the White House because that’s who the Democrat Party elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country,” she said during a Thursday press briefing. [HuffPost]

Do you think Karoline knows that Communism and Socialism are two different things?
Do you think Karoline knows that people who conflate Communism with Socialism are considered stupid by broad swaths of the population?
Also, too:

Recently it seems that all the R's are going with the racist dog whistle 'Democrat' party.
Yeah. Been around since the '80s (prolly the Roger Stone/Lee Atwater/Paul Manafort years), but now pretty much universal with the GOP.
It was started by Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats in the 50's
Oh CaroLyin if I was a journalist there, this is what I would say
Back to you:
“ it speaks volumes that just a couple of days ago the White House hosted with a state dinner a man from Saudi Arabia who chopped up one of our fellow journalists”
Also too K KLEAVAGE notice the SAUDI was wearing a DRESS not a SUIT?
noooooo, it's who the *people of NYC elected* as mayor.
It speaks volumes that you are such a lying sack of crap.
Zohran's going to eat Chump for lunch without breaking a sweat.
"Shut up Piggy."
It speaks volumes that you actually had to say THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T REALLY WANT TO KILL SENATORS.
ETA: And in reality, New York City elected him. Minor detail.

Fake news. It's impossible for fruit cake to go rancid.
Def not the Cakes we all like!

I HATE this woman so much.
*I know--it's not fear of spiders.
She's not right
Fear of spiders is arachnophobia
Fear of leaving the house to go out is agoraphobia
Fear of being trapped in a small space or amongst too many rabid holiday shoppers is claustrophobia
lolsob
And triskadekaphobia is the fear of 13. You're welcome
She was really distracted for the rest of the deposition because she had to tell me how much she LOVES spiders and I was like "I wish this day never happened".
Oh, noooo
😑😑😑

Agoraphobia -- fear of Safeway.
That could also be claustrophobia depending on the day and the aisle
