Great ears!

Such cute buns!

/ I can say that here, right?

Pere Ubu's avatar

I think I have a new favorite animal!

The "buns" comment reminds me of my stepfather using that as an endearment for my mom, who was very unhappy with it. I now realize that it's so much better for your parents to do their flirtatious stuff when you're young and stupid and not paying attention, rather than later in life when you're going to be able to recall it and have retroactive empathetic embarrassment.

Chocolate Bilbies! Not to be confused with this:

In either case, Happy Easter

Lovely…rat-bunny ‘roo, scrabbling in the dirt. “Cute,” for certain uses of the term.

Nah, they’re real. I’ve seen one’s head mounted over a gas station door in Wyoming.

Which option is greater

Should a person pray now

Or should you Bilby later.

Bilby Baggins, what has it got in its pocket? A baby bilby!

Cute! Last night, I saw a lady with pink hair and wearing bunny ears. I told her that she looked cute, she smiled and said that she loved to celebrate Christmas and Easter.

I was looking up why bunnies, why eggs, because in the pantheon of christianity, the two- especially together- made no sense to me.

Found out the egg thing (renewal of life) dates back in messy potamia and surrounding areas for like friggin ever. Sometimes undecorated, sometimes grandly painted up even. The bunny thing was funnier: legit because rabbits are legendary for, ahem, creating new life.

Why the combo of the bunny laying the egg I still do not know

It's another holiday that the Christopaths nicked from the pagans. Estrus is an ancient, eastern European fertility celebration celebrating springtime and new life.

Hence the name, Easter.

Ostar in Celtic paganism. Always the first full moon after the equinox. Very christopathic!

Fertility rite. Fucking! Spring time!

Cadbury chocolate eggs????

tehbaddr's avatar

With the whites and the yolk! Who came up with that abomination?!

Miss Grundy's avatar

Wasn't Cadbury and English company? I say blame them.

tehbaddr's avatar

The name has been licensed to Hershey in the US and the goods aren't the same. But yes! Blame the Limeys!

littlerice vice's avatar

I found out why the EASTER BUNNY hides the EGGS! He doesn't want anybody to know that he was screwing CHICKENS!

Ellie still in the mix in 26's avatar

Because they are yummy, especially when stale.

It's a hill I'll die on,

Jen Is Silly's avatar

If you mean the babby chickens I assume because they come from the eggs and are also a renewal of life thing. Would make sense.

If you mean the sugar coated sugar...gonna guess because americans love some sugar XD

Jen Is Silly's avatar

edit: though some liken it to some children's story. But some scholars suggest the idea was there even longer

Tiger Woods told police he had just called “the president” after his single-car accident.

"April 3 (Reuters) - The White House on Friday sought $152 million to return the former Alcatraz prison island to active duty, following up on Trump’s call last year. The request was tucked into a proposed budget the White House released to fund the government for the 2027 fiscal year. The would cover the first-year costs of rebuilding Alcatraz into “a state-of-the-art secure prison facility.”" [via HuffPost]

No suitable replacement for Tulsi Gabbard? How does DNI Alex Jones sound to you? The guy knows everything.

Comrade Morticia's avatar

I have a great children's educational book called 'It's the Easter Bilby' that talks about all the damage that rabbits have done to Australia and why we love the bilby at Easter. Yay for the Easter Bilby!

HuffPost: "Trump said he has appointed Vice President JD Vance as “fraud czar” in his federal fraud investigation that will focus primarily on Democratic-run states. “We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’ and his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a ‘free for all’ in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money,” he posted to Truth Social.

Trump’s announcement follows him signing an executive order last month that launches a national task force, led by Vance, to investigate Trump’s claims that some states are stealing federal funds intended for social-welfare programs. Trump on Friday said that “raids have already started” in Los Angeles, without offering more information."

Meanwhile, he's trying to dole out taxpayer money to the J6 traitors.

Jesse Watters, on "The Five: "“Well, Nancy [Pelosi] says there will not be a female president in her lifetime, and I say thank God,” Watters said after the clips aired. “I hope there is not a female president in my lifetime."

When one of Watters’ female co-hosts, Jessica Tarlov, asked Watters why he’d say something like that, he began to list off a string of misogynistic reasons, like the belief that women have a lack “emotional maturity” and “professional contacts in the business world to manage the economy.” “Do women have the respect of the generals?” Watters asked, before slyly laughing at himself, like he knew he sounded like a complete jerk. “People are saying women don’t have the sense of humor to be president.”

“You are just jumping off a cliff,” Greg Gutfeld said. “Just because you are bored.” Watters decided to move on to Newsom: “I believe Gavin Newsom could be the first woman president,” Watters said. “Because when I hear him talk, he sounds like a woman. The kind of emotional instability, you don’t know whether he’s having a mid-life crisis, an identity crisis, a crisis of confidence.”

When we're back in control, we need to sue Fox News and everyone associated with it out of existance.

Trying to think of a suitable kharmic punishment for Jesse Watters. Nothing too quick, something slow and painful, a constant irritation. A flaming case of herpes, maybe?

Hello Marion's avatar

I would settle for people addressing him as AFAB for the rest of his life since apparently for him that is a state of existence more horrific than perpetual cold sores, fistulae, or death. Just call him ma'am at every turn and then gently and patronizingly (arm pats recommended) remind him that people can ALWAYS tell teh trans.

Ta, Rebecca. Ta, Martini. I made our delectable fruit bowls and Meccalopolis put together the flowers for our green tea here at the pied-à-nuage, where it's a beautiful day and warm for the Catskills. We're having our elitist avocado toast on unleavened bread, like good Jews. Later today, I'm trying my hand at baking matzoh. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace.

Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot six months after your last and catch up on any other needed vaccines (the kids, too, need all their shots), avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from us and anyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because we love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed friends like 27 Club member Treg and heroic Tony, Holly's pilot friend, among nearly eight million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel (we love you, medicos of Wonkette), especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Stay safe.

Slava Ukraini. 🌻🇺🇦💙💛

Every time Pedo47 talks about “taking the oil,” I have to wonder, does he think the oil is just sitting on a dock in barrels waiting to be loaded up into cargo containers? Does he not understand that it has to be pumped out of the ground first?

He views the world through a very rapey lens.

He's like a parrot. One of his minions teaches him a phrase and he keeps repeating it over and over without understanding.

Falling back on stock phrases is also very common as dementia progresses.

Gabbard’s in trouble? That makes three, huh? Is there anything special about these three in this administration? Maybe having a penis is going to be a requirement for a cabinet job, now that shit is getting serious. No mor MAGA-pretty* faces.

*MAGA-pretty is not pretty

ElderlyLoudCatWomyn's avatar

I do think that being female is part of it. That said, none of these women were in the least bit competent to begin with. Kind of like this is what happens when you reject your intelligent female side.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

But will Putin allow Pedo47 to fire his girlfriend, Tulsi?

Only from the big guns of a battleship. Anything less Would be an insult.

So, the injunction blocks Trump from building his ballroom… what does the law say about the giant hole in the ground and the demolition of an entire wing of the building?

Are we just leaving it as is, that Trump destroyed our property unlawfully and everything from here on out is a wash?

Seems to me he owes us damages and restitution.

calliecallie, aka pollyanna's avatar

He owes us a fuck of a lot more than that, imho.

ElderlyLoudCatWomyn's avatar

I'd like to see the "private donors" be forced to restore the west wing to its original state.

"How about 23,000, does that sound good to you?" Sounds too low, since the only reason she was put into place was to protect the Boss of Everybody, and to destroy his enemies, real and/or imagined. He wanted to own the DOJ and be its master, and he's succeeded. Guess they're sorry now, that they went after him and his monster daddy almost 60 years ago.
