Those kitties in the hed gif are moth-proofing their fur (a well-adopted custom is putting lavender sachets in clothing drawers to repel moth infestations). Your hed gif info is here: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/leaps-in-the-lavender

Flying Felines (no doubt already posted) and WTF is this obsession with lavender?

To me it smells like scent for a coffin.

"Land dolphins" is a perfect descriptor for their appearance, leaping through the fields. Well done you for coming up with it.

So Zuck is finally seeing a (small to him) consequence. Whoopee. It has always amazed me that anyone would ever trust someone whose name literally means "Rock candy Mountain" (rock candy is just solid sugar, crystallized into big lumps instead of small grains).

Unrelated: Hunter Biden giving a 3 hour interview ... dropping a lot of F bombs on Trump, and extremely interesting views (and I only saw a few outtakes so far).

Hakeem Jeffries seems to be what wrong with the Democratic Party. They're more interesting in attracting Big Money, which is inherently conservative, and not in pushing agendas that people support. Democrats will never win being Republican-Lite.

Did not sound like much of an apology from Fox or Watters to me,

I'd like to know where I can collect part of the Cambridge Analytica suit. That was exactly when I deleted my FB.

WRT the poor woman denied medical care because she was not married, I'd bet that if you dug into that Dr's life you'd probably find some evidence of moral turpitude. Also I stupidly thought that they agreed with the Hippocratic oath of confidentiality, non-maleficence (avoiding harm), and beneficence. He must suck at his job. He's certainly failed as a human being. He should lose his license.

Dear Senator Murkowski,

You have a sad? You had a mad. You even had a skeered. All the big feels.

Nobody cares. You have made yourself irrelevant. Kindly go deal with your emotions. They are not national news. They are not even local news. Seek absolution elsewhere.We’re all doing big feels these days.

Sincerely,

Virtually Everyone Else

It's all crocodile tears for the press to trick the asshole-idiots back home into thinking that she gives a shit about them.

Spoiler alert: Like all soulless, lying, backstabbing Republinazis, she doesn't at all.

DAILY REMINDER: The proper response to any bogus "We're gonna arrest Obama!" chatter or any other kind of MAGA chatter is this:

"I cannot WAIT to see the full Epstein files."

Should your MAGA mouth-breather try to say anything, no matter what, the proper response is again:

"Those Epstein files must really be something. I can't WAIT until we get to see them."

It's very simple. The only proper response - whether in person or online - is basically EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.

If I were EVER to release patient information from the clinic at which I work, I'd be fired at the least, and very possibly prosecuted, tried, convicted, and fined.

It's very possible that none of the Native Americans I know feel like sharing their thoughts on the names of different teams with me, which is fine, but I haven't heard anyone who's pissed off about the renaming. And even so--stick with me, folks--it kind of doesn't matter? If a stupid team decides that they FINALLY don't want to have a totally arbitrary but offensive name because of improving community standards and whatnot--it's their fucking team and they get to call it what they want.

What is WITH this guy and the naming of things? "His" ships, "his" military bases, "his" Gulf of America? I feel like this is part of the dementia in a way (along with his lifelong branding of buildings and licensing of his name, which he thinks is so cool).

"Our great, beautiful, some say the most beautiful--our golf, and really, if you think about it, it is a golf, and they never say that. Golf. People don't know, but "golf". And we're making it great again, aren't we, folks? Golf. So many people, they come up to me and say, "SIR!" that's what they call me, "Sir! Please, I want to show my children, my beautiful wife and her children"--and they're beautiful, believe me--"I want to show them the Golf of Trump." And what can I do? So we call it the Golf of Trump, and 'Golf' is like 'Gold' if you think about it."

Hart Brake Hotel. ROFL! Superb! Thank you!

Interesting... listening to Keith Olbermann's podcast this morning. He makes a good point - CBS did not fire Colbert over Trump. If that was the case, his last show would have been last week. He still has until next May to sit quietly... by... and not... attack... Trump. (snicker).

Tonight's monologue should be a barn burner!
