I recognized those as binturongs! I "discovered" the animal several years ago when I was
poking around Wikipedia and was immediately entranced. Cat-bears, as opposed to linsangs which are cat-weasels. WHY DOES D&D NOT HAVE BINGTURONGS AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER RACE I ASK YOU
The pet store where I got aquarium supplies had a binturong that used to roam the store sometimes. His name was Bennie. He was really friendly and did smell a little like buttered popcorn (and barnyard).
My best Mick Foley fact - he went to my high school and was on the wrestling team with my younger brother (my brother was better friends with Kevin James, as he's known now). His dad, Jack, was the head of the athletics department and coached wrestling, among other teams.
When asked, brother said that he seemed like a nice kid who was always trying to please his dad, who was a bit of a jerk.
Trump reveals his true self again. Everybody's assets are his personal property. And telling him no is a terrorist act.
About Donnie's speech; “Trump is delivering this speech like the prompter operator passed out with his finger on the 3x speed button and he’s trying to keep up with the text as it flies by,” one X user observed. - The Daily Beast. Speed Ranting will be added to the next Olympics.
I’m struggling with geography. If our fleet has Venezuela surrounded, was there some tectonic plate action that made Venezuela an island? How did I miss that? And how are oil fields and land that are in Venezuela ours? Has Trump been playing with the sharpie again?
If I take a vow of silence, do I still get to post? 🤔
I swear, if I can, I'm going to declare my apartment a monastery and declare myself on fucking retreat and the hell with this goddamn fucked culture of fucking fuckers. Fuck.
Huh, I see not only is AI tripling the price of electricity, but now the stocks are falling and taking the stock market with them. If only someone had thought about this earlier!!
The South Bend (IN) area seems to be attracting some speculation as to being a good place for data centers. Some assholes for growth were promoting one in the New Carlisle area - it was voted down last week. I expect to be hearing more about this in the next few weeks.
Pigsbreath has a flag pocket square, a flag belt buckle, and a tie that brings to mind the flag. These guys are fucking freaks every second of every day.
I'll be re-typing this later in the nightly open thread, but I did speak in person to the apartment manager. Apparently the assistant manager screwed up in not calling me about the last inspection. Their only concern is that the windows and doors in my living room are unobstructed in case of emergencies. Once they confirm that, I can sign a new lease. Yaaaay.
Our fine Attorney General has announced he plans to sue Pornhub for failing to do age verification like all the good Republicans want. For the children.
People, this news is and these horrible people are just too much. More and more lately, I find myself skimming or skipping altogether the articles, and instead coming to the comments because I value the community.
I fell asleep late, but my body still wanted to get up early to pee, and then, being up, I fed and medicated the cats and scooped the boxes, put wood on the bed of coals, stepped outside to dump soiled litter in the trashcan, and it is still dark and very cold, and I am inside again andhopeful that I might go back to sleep. Alice has come to me purring, so I am once again forgiven, gratefully so, for giving her the terrible eye drops.
You people make me laugh, and sometimes cry, and inspire me because you're so smart and talented. Thank you (singular) for being here and being part of the you (plural, collective).
what a fu*king ignorant POS. Venezuela has no need to steal American oil. They’re the world leader in oil. An armada is a declaration of war. I guess republicans will now send their kids off to die in an illegal war that literally no one wants. They have zero plan for after regime change. Like it worked out so well when bush did it to Iraq/Iran bogging us down for nine years. They are willfully ignorant and they know the cult is too.
They can't even fucking be bothered to invent "evidence" for this latest GOP shit war. Kesgeth can't go in front of Congress and woozily wave a vial of powder, because the Reich doesn't take Congress seriously and *nobody* takes Kegseth seriously. (Also, the use of "armada" reminds me of Dubya's use of "crusade" in the Invasion of Iraq, only there's nobody now who'll be fixing the rhetoric.)

(Actually, there IS a Southeast Asia hack of an indie RPG called Cairn that does indeed allow catbears as a playable heritage)
"Binlets." I love that almost as much as "pufflings."
Sweet!
Boots the baby binturong,
She’s on the ground, but not for long!
The pet store where I got aquarium supplies had a binturong that used to roam the store sometimes. His name was Bennie. He was really friendly and did smell a little like buttered popcorn (and barnyard).
Boots the baby binturong leaping out in a surprise love attack is the morning smile I didn’t know I so desperately needed.
I love that part, and mom is all "ok Boots, chill."
Binturongs like Boots are cute
They're quite a sight too see
There's no ugliness about them
They look too right to me
I made the super funny joke in my head that binturongs don't make a bintarite, but I figured it was just too ridiculous to include in my post.
I don't wanna....
That makes two.
Hahahaha!
A forest creature who smells like popcorn, poops coffee, has babies called “Binlets” and it purrs? Are we sure this isn’t A1?
I’m sure it was an anime character first.
I thought bearcats were fictional creatures from the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual!
Or maybe I’m thinking of owlbears…
I thought they were cars.

That's the OTHER bearcat I want. 🥺
Better than bugbears.
Boop boop be doop
Prehensile tails are tight!
Prehensile tails are very 'handy.'
Boots on the ground, off the ground, having snackies, beating up a tree. What a fun day!
Boots the Binlet!
Those 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘴 “𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘴” are awfully cute in that way... the way that occasionally gets tourists mauled...
Binturongs look canny and formidable...
And smell like popcorn, so I'm told.
That's bearly a cat!
Babby Binturong Binlet Boots bopping!
Bouncing baby binturong!

Hard pass.

His flag tighty whities probably complete the image. (opens a booth to sell brain bleach and mental floss. 20% discount to Wonkette members)

I feel safer already.

It's all the USA's oil. Ipso fuck-to, anyone else in the world who has any stole it from us.
Maybe we'll get the draft back. Who's got the least amount of exemptions? MAGA!
Too bad 90% will be disqualified for physical, mental and moral health issues. The Group W bench will be three deep in wackos and weirdos.

I bet Venezuelans never even considered that they'd be the ones paying for the release of the Epstein files.
