Once when I was on a video shoot in Tanzania, we stumbled across a den of about 25 lion cubs protected by a few lionesses, just snoozing under the trees on a hot summer's day. Believe me, it took all my common sense (which isn't much in the first place) to keep from getting out of the Land Rover and skritching all those lion cub bellies!

I probably would be ded, both from cuteness and the resulting misadventure after attempting snuggles.

Mountain lion cubs!? Unlike leopards they do lose their spots.

This is why I stay inside--I know if I ran into a lion cub, or a bear, or something like that I would be like, "AAAAHHHHHH BABY!" and try to hug it and then be killed.

The San Diego Zoo is also a very beautiful botanical garden. It is the best zoo that I have ever been to. Thanks for the memories

The only good thing Frank Rizzo ever did for Philadelphia was die.

The only good thing Frank Rizzo ever did for me was die on my mother's 45th birthday, so I could come home from my job at Tower Records on South Street and give my mom some good news.

Somehow, that's a perfect post. I mean it!

good. (though honestly they've been doing a great job so far... didn't they hire baby from like fetterman's office?)

Absolutely! The QAnon Cretins believe war is first fought through memes but I bet you they aren't nearly as good at it as we will be. We have more material!

Trump’s unified Reich excuse reminds me of the old headline from the Onion, “Why do all these gay men keep sucking my dick says straight man.” Only now it’s, “why do all these Nazis keep supporting my campaign says man who totally isn’t a Nazi.”

Also, this strategy of trying to pass legislation instead of blocking everything is a new one for Fled Cruz. It’s an indication of how nervous he is about his upcoming reelection.

It really is one of The Onion's classics.

Regarding the Senate elections, it looks like if Tester in Montana and Brown in Ohio keep their seats and no other Democrats lose their seats unexpectedly, we're fine? And Brown seems to be doing OK, so my dollars need to go to Tester?

I'd say yeah. In my gut vibe check lived there 8 years expertise, I think Tester's in real trouble.

Still confused about why supporting rich people who want a genetically pure mini-me of their very personal own that they can indoctrinate however they like and claim special privileges for is a DEMOCRATIC issue. While there are still unwanted genetically random children bouncing around our dysfunctional foster care systems.

The problem with capital letters is that they lead to capital sentences, and that's far too punishing.

"Durbin isn’t even willing hold a hearing, much less impeach." The Senate has no power to impeach. That has to be initiated by the House.

All those folks who thought that Nikki Haley had some sense and credibility must be very disappointed that she has decided to vote for Von Schitzenpants. I’m not going to pretend anymore that there may be a few sane Rapepublicans out there . Every single one of them are batshit bonkers.

Some of us saw this coming ages ago. She falls in line like every other rethug; their chief characteristic stems from the inability to contravene the nominal will of their body politic as expressed in a Strong Leader ^TM.

Help! My like button is broken. Are there any Substack experts here? It's been broken for over a week and doesn't work. Sad because I like to like. Maybe it has something to do with notifications? I turned them all off.

Expand full comment

Is it truly broken, or is it really slow to respond after you press it. For a few days this week or last week, it would take a minute or two to make the Like heart go red after I pressed it.

It's not responding at all.

My notifications are all on, but when I click Like nothing happens. Maybe my Likes (and yours?) are actually recorded but just not shown to me.
