Having watched multiple videos of Jimothy, I think he/she/they have no idea that they are what humans perceive of as disabled. Jimothy is just out there keeping on keeping on. Eating, exploring, playing. Just hoping those humans keep throwing away perfectly good food.
I see… that’s because it took me a few days to do the work and then it was a few days more before the gif was chosen by Wonkette for Tabs posting. I knew that would be the case, but I figured most people would still be into seeing it even if it was at least a week old.
No, I wasn't talking about you - I've seen multiple Internet posts about this guy more than one or two weeks ago ( and even a TV News spot about him ). But, as it is, when I did a search on "short spine syndrome", most references ( that weren't about Jimothy ) were to dogs that had this defect, and it looks like this condition occurs in cats, horse, sheep, even people - so perhaps I confused one of the dog stories with Jimothy
"some absolute loser like Polis or John Fetterman or Haley Stevens, or some combo like that, is going to try to run on an independent ticket in 2028, after Democratic primary voters fully tell them to fuck off" AHEM. Haley Stevens has been a very effective Congressperson, unlike the Bernie Bro who is trying to knock her off for not supporting death to all Jews, and I expect her to be an effective Senator, with no thought of deserting the Democratic team.
We’re in countdown mode to when Polis announces, “I didn’t leave the democrats. The democrats left me.”
As for the Bulwark, remember that they are mostly former republicans so of course they’re going to buy into the “democrats should be republican lite” line.
Finally, it’s hilarious that Tuberville is saying Mamdani should be arrested for saying Bibi should arrested.
Trump yesterday at an EPA event: 'Democrats “want less energy, not more,” and if they had the chance, they’d “send your prices soaring. And just like we did with the Green New Scam, where we were scammed, the whole country was, I wasn’t scammed,” Trump said. “I got it right from the beginning. I got it from the first minute when I heard this crap. You know, they were saying wind was so wonderful, so wonderful, except you couldn't, watch your television, they wanted to watch the debate. Donald Trump against Sleepy Joe Biden. Nobody could watch it because the wind wasn't blowing. Remember that? Remember that? Darling, would like to watch the debate tonight? I’m sorry. The wind isn’t blowing."

A raccoon with a short spine living his best life.
In the afternoon
you won’t see the Raccoon
she doesn’t like daylight
and only comes out at night
This is the first I've heard of him. He's a trooper! So, in his honor...
Crossing on fences in back yards
And everyone knows our life was hard
But we
were young
and free.
They cut down the trees that were our home
My family and I were forced to roam.
And then,
there was
Just me.
Jimothy, Jimothy,
Where on earth did you go?
Jimothy, Jimothy
God, why don't we know?
Hungry no more, there's food I see
That people leave out in bowls for me
And I
can eat
for free.
Water to drink they also give
It's easier now for me to live
Because
I'm on tv.
Jimothy, Jimothy
Everyone's lookin' at you.
Jimothy, Jimothy
We hope you're happy too!

White House Propaganda Ministry tried to hijack Jimothy. Didn't end well:
https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2080320347329413445
“More spine than the GOP” LOL
Luv having Jimothy in our neighborhood neighbor Ballard. We wonder if its Swedish or Norwegian.
My spine is noticebly twisted and deformed. I feel a kinship with Jimothy.
Precisely. I have two wheel-chair bound siblings...
From now on I’m going to imagine you also have a very twitchy and curious nose.
Having watched multiple videos of Jimothy, I think he/she/they have no idea that they are what humans perceive of as disabled. Jimothy is just out there keeping on keeping on. Eating, exploring, playing. Just hoping those humans keep throwing away perfectly good food.
I have to wonder what caused the Internet to suddenly latch onto Jimothy - I remember reading about him and his "short spine" defect weeks ago.
Literally only saw a short video about him yesterday for the first time, and now I'm seeing him everywhere.
He’s naturally round, which makes him look like a squishmallow.
I think mostly because people find him cute and they are latching on to anything lighthearted these days.
My point was about the delay in the Internet "discovering" Jimothy. I wasn't really wondering why.
Literally only saw a short video about him yesterday for the first time, and now I'm seeing him everywhere.

Like Neil the Seal. It's just fun.
We do love Jimothy, but we love you more! Thank you so much for everything you do, sweetheart. You rock the casbah!
Aww! Love you!
I thought Jimothy was already animated...

I've got a Doctor's appointment
And I haven't got the time
To spend with little Jimothy
And try to form a rhyme
It's hopeful just to see him
As a prospering raccoon
But right now I have to run
A prostate exam looms soon.
Doctor: OK, just relax, Bill. Don’t be embarrassed if you get an erection during the exam. It happens sometimes.
Menotsure: My name’s not Bill.
Doctor: I know. Mine is.
Ha!
Edit : The doctor said something about being "in the pink".
I'm not sure if he was talking about my health or his index finger.
Jimothy the I am capable spokesracoon!
AC (artificial cuteness) replaces actual cute animals. In Tabz, no less. Aaargh. (JK)
Good morning to all cute beings, both real and … oh who knows anymore.
JIMOTHY!!!!!!!
I love that clever creature to absolute bits!
He sorts troubles out and chooses carefully. Darwin would be fascinated with him.
Your brother from another mother!
Poor baby! But he sure gets around and he's quick.
He's both creepy and cute!

So, The Bulwark is now operating on the same page as Tommy Tuberville. Fuck The Bulwark.

I just do not understand why otherwise smart people were and are taken in by their alleged "anti-Trump" bullshit. THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED TRUMP.
They hate Trump not because they disagree with him, but because he doesn't have a filter and says the quiet parts out loud.
