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).
Sigh . . . my wife has a friend whose husband was just diagnosed with stage four cancer of some sort. He's an artist, and with his neuropathy, cannot paint. She's also an artist. He, however, is the one who actually sells enough art to keep them housed and in paints and clay. As figurative starving artists, they hadn't factored in becoming literal starving artists. Well, at least they had over 60 years each before realizing that at least one of them should have considered a practical career.
Lesson: Don't follow your dreams. Or if you do, don't do it in the U.S.. Or maybe just be born to wealth. I dunno -- learning is hard, so who knows what the lesson is? Everyone dies and life is shit?
So are we back to using “gay” (in the context of “The gay cartoon buzzard who serves as the Treasury secretary”) as the favorite slur of a horny 80s junior high school boy who wants everyone to know he *definitely* hasn’t jerked off to Playgirl? Or am I missing something because I actually am that old?
I wish I was gay so I could use "Fuck you, gay cartoon buzzard bitch." and not feel uncomfortable. That is one of the finest aspersions I've ever heard!
Bessent, “There’s a recent study out from [the] Wharton School that shows every one percent increase in population, rents went up one percent. So by enforcing the border, sending home more than 2 million illegals, we’re now seeing rents coming down substantially.”
Okay, let’s say all that bullshit is true. 2 million people out of 340 million is 0.6 percent.
The best explanation of why the moron in chief thinks Venezuela "stole" land from the US is that their nationalization of their oil fields kicked some American oil companies out. However oil companies in foreign lands don't "own" the land, they license the right to extract oil there.
Hey so as much as I enjoy the severe snark from Evan...
Can we ease up on the anti-cosmetic-procedure rhetoric? Yeah, Mar a Lago face is kinda funny, but bodily autonomy includes fillers. I've got trans friends who get fillers as part of their transition. Making fun of fillers and other cosmetic procedures (especially those primarily used by women) only feels slightly less bad than making fun of non-bigoted tattoos. Which, to be clear, feels pretty bad, because tattoos are awesome.
I don’t read it as making fun of filler, or people who get filler generally (ask me how I knew a filler mark when I saw one!)
I read it as making fun of the vain, mean, preening jerks in the White House. The kinds of people who call others “Piggy”.
I think it’s more like that photo of Trump with toilet paper on his shoe…the funny part isn’t the toilet paper per se, we all wipe our asses.
But if you’re a mean person, everyone enjoys a laugh at your expense for minor revealing embarssments whether it’s your toilet paper stuck to your clothing or your cosmetic track marks.
I just read as much as I could take of the Vanity Fair article and it's hilarious, especially the photos. These people are so small and definitely look it, standing up against walls that dwarf them. Susie Wiles probably thinks she looks like Zeus about to hurl a thunderbolt with that stormy hair and intense stare but only got ridicule from whatever she was trying to accomplish here. JD Vance and Stephen Miller are at least 10 years younger than me but look 10 years older, and I don't know if that's a compliment to me or an insult to them or both. Karoline Leavitt is a smug, lying asshole who deserves an unflattering closeup.
These people wield power but they'll always be clowns. They deserve a chorus of laughter following them wherever they go.
Boots the baby binturong! Her story: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/boots-the-baby-binturong
And your meme chat: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/c9ef4be3-5b2c-497d-aef3-dedc6a60fd5b?utm_source=share
"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.

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!
These are so adorable I can’t stand it! Those whiskers!

Why are Katie and Kash sitting so close together? I wouldn't want to be in the same room as that creep---Kash I mean
That Mick Foley seems like a decent fellow.
Re the ICE Gestapo occupation in Memphis, Trix needs to get Dominic down there stat!

No, he's actually gay.
They didn’t do Leavitt any favors on that pose either.
I wish I was gay so I could use "Fuck you, gay cartoon buzzard bitch." and not feel uncomfortable. That is one of the finest aspersions I've ever heard!
Bravo!
but.... you just did! More power to you!
[yeah, awkward, I know, but your heart's in the right place, dammit!]
Thanks! Something told me to just leave it alone but I couldn't. The phrase in question is a work of art.

Okay, let’s say all that bullshit is true. 2 million people out of 340 million is 0.6 percent.
So if my rent was 1550 it’s now down to 1540.70.
So substantial.
Just wait till the 1400% discount kicks in!
When in human history have rents ever gone down?
>>Probably going to announce war with Venezuela<<
Wag the Don.

Well, fudge biscuits.
I took yesterday off which means I have to do all of yesterday’s work today, and yet I just wanna stay home with you guys!
Fudge biscuits, you may be on to something.
Rents are very much NOT going down in my city, no matter how much The Party wants you to ignore the evidence of our checking accounts.
I've been a renter all my life, and I can't recall a single time my rent ever went down.
Evan kills me again, esp. with the "pants around his ankles" part.
