Speaking of Humbolt penguins, here is the story of Grape-kun, the Humbolt that fell in love with an anime character and became an international sensation.
I’m still traumatized over Steve the Penguin on the Nat Geo thing (he was what the French call ‘les Incompétents’) and like Rudolf the flock Kept leaving him behind -
What kind of plastic bag? Doesn't matter so long as it can sustain heat of around 212 degrees F (100C). One can also boil water over a flame in a paper cup.
I don’t disagree with your opinion completely, but “some” is doing some heavy lifting here.
HOWEVER, what you and I are expressing here are opinions and are open to debate; vaccines, on the other hand, are science and are factually proven by scientific method. Five yard penalty for “false equivalency” argument.
Seriously…WTF “ProPublica reported in 2021 on a trove of tax-return data about the wealthiest Americans. It found the 25 richest people legally pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than many ordinary workers do.
"And the human impact of Defendant's crimes is enormous," prosecutors wrote. "Many victims have come forward, expressing anger and embarrassment about the exposure of their personal financial information. Worse, it appears that the harm may continue indefinitely" because stories continue to be published.” The HUMAN IMPACT ON BILLIONAIRES???? WTF my head is exploding that they would even write that…

Fuck them with a rusty crow bar and then we will talk about human impact.
From the USA Today article about the tax return leaker:

TBH, only people who care are the prosecutors and the rich assholes who got their financials leaked....

I had such a huge crush on him and thought he was really talented and had lots of charisma. We saw him live in a musical and seriously, people were DYING at how good he was.
I still feel really sad when I think about him, even though he brought me so much joy with his work...You never, ever can know what people are going through when you don't actually "know" them, so like they say, it's best to just be kind. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
I wrote of penguins: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/frosty-tabs?r=angu9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I kind of like the idea that the male penguins take such a large role in caring for the young.
I do, too!
The Penguin wears a feathery tuxedo which if you think about it is pretty neat-o
Penguins are wonderful!
You *would* say that 😉
i watched 'march of the penguins' and it did not tell what i wanted to know: penguin walking speed is 0.5 mph

Penguins are fascinating creatures...
Once a teacher explained 𝘯𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘳 to me thusly:
"I say "Good Morning!", you say "No hashish for penguins!"
Just like that, I'm out of penguin stories
Two penguins sitting on an ice floe. One says, "And what makes you think I'm not wearing a tuxedo?"
I’m still traumatized over Steve the Penguin on the Nat Geo thing (he was what the French call ‘les Incompétents’) and like Rudolf the flock Kept leaving him behind -
Penguins are so sensitive to me. Lyle Lovett.
I've always been fond of penguins in a spirit animal kinda way. I got a LEGO penguin for Christmas.
Aren't those ELVES amazing?
Memorializing penguins in LEGO...
Future archeologists will be puzzled and delighted!
Ooh, fun!
Lots of good Penguin videos on the Instagram.
The Old Demon was having a most unhappy day in court. He was muttering “This is not America. Not America. This is not America.”
So now you know how it feels, you demon.
Re: Dollar General overcharges:
Family Dollar does this too, although not necessarily to the extent that DG does. Remember, poverty is expensive!
The false advertising in this irks me (it was at the bottom of one of the linkies in Tabs)

The IRS employee's name was "Littlejohn"???!!!
Did law enforcement ever catch the ringleader, one Robin Hood?
"The WHO is trying to plan for a hypothetical unknown future pandemic...."
Is there NOTHING Pete Townsend won't lend his creativity to?
That sentence really had me dazzled too. Now am kinda let down about it.
Don't worry, the kids are alright

On his Infowars show, Alex Jones claimed that Disease X was a “virus scare power grab” by entities that he claimed “want control of our bodies.”
Huh. Jones lives in Texas. I wonder if he’s aware of any local “entities” that “want control of our bodies.”
Oh, sorry, not *his* lovely body, so not a concern.
ETA: Also, I love that Russell Brand is now just dismissed as “conspiracy theorist Russell Brand,” one more of many.
OTOH, I might tune in to Brand if he promises to demonstrate the correct way to use rectal UV light…
Russell sounds positively unhinged in that video clip.

Yes!
