Robyn found her own adorable gif today, so from me you get a meme chat: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/44c9d019-7b8d-4cc5-bd83-845393599999

It is an adorable gif. Reminds me of my Cosmo and my sister's cat Kai. He'll walk in the room and see her butt and go for a sniff. Her reaction is always to hiss, growl and "yell" at him but he never learns. Just stands there looking surprised and then looks at me as if to say "what's wrong with her?".

For those of us on phones, who deleted the Substack app months ago because it was causing too many problems, the meme chats are beyond our reach, because Substack insists that we reinstall the app to see what you’ve posted.

I do recall that you've mentioned that. You have the computer browser option, or you can just skip them. It's not mandatory!

"No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?"

"(Long pause) A palindrome...?

"Yeah, that's it!

"It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Headbutt" would be "Ttubdaeh"!! Not Butthead!! It don't work..."

No no no. The Palindrome was this hot club on 14th St in the East Village in the 80's, this club had everything....

Isn't a Palindrone that thing a has been / half term quitting ex-governor of Alaska does when she just just keeps dishing out word salads about how mistreated she has been?

I thought a Palindrome was a venue for monster-truck rallies where the winners get marginal right-wing media gigs, and the losers get their first names changed to something stupid and readily mockable.

Why is a palindrome not a palinilap instead? what is dromidary about it?...

SayItWithWookies's avatar

Because a palindrome is not a member of the set of terms that describes itself, like polysyllabic is. Monosyllabic is also not a member of that set, which is also weird.

Our neighbors, in exchange for keeping our lawn mowed for the last two years while we've been out of the house, have been keeping goats in the backyard. Mrs. JC saw them from behind and was convinced they were girls.

They are not girls, and that big dangly sack is not an udder.

There was an MST3K short that showed a young colt nosing under an adult horse; Crow supplied the line, "Oops, sorry Dad."

The short was 'Johnny at the Fair.'

This a great day! I'm one of those people that get songs stuck in their head because of because. Since the election, every morning it's Buffalo Springfield "For What It's Worth"...total downer mirroring everything I felt. This post-TGiving it's "Whose That Lady" by the Isley Brothers. I am healing!! And I am glad to be here on Wonkette. I need you all.

I watched the Jackon County clip and it's pretty clear that they are worried about being replaced, and the funny thing is that they're being replaced by their own 'people'

OT stuff- Mrs. Monster and I traveled to Brooklyn (If you spend five seconds in the presence of Mrs. Monster, she will tell you at least ten times that she’s from Brooklyn) to visit her brothers. This was the first time we got to see one of our nieces in about four years. We usually spend Christmas Day with the in-laws in Lancaster but the niece, Nemo, has refused to visit them.

Now, I love my MIL and FIL, but they are very Catholic. Nemo is non-binary and hyper-sensitive. At dinner Saturday, they had to leave the restaurant because there were two babies making a lot of noise. They spent the rest of the evening only communicating with us through the voice synthesizer in their laptop because they had used up their mental bandwith at the restaurant.

Their appearance is also unconventional: green hair and they were wearing horns and elf ears. Nemo does not believe that their grandparents will accept them as they are. Again, very Catholic.

On the other hand, my MIL is very hurt and feels that she’s been cut off from her grandchild. She has been told that both Nemo and their sister are LGBTQ.

I don’t know if there’s anything I can do here as I’m kind of the outsider. Being neurodivergent myself, I’m very sympathetic to Nemo’s struggles with social interaction. Nemo is an adult and can make their own decision about whether or not to attend this Christmas get together, but Mrs. Monster and I would like to see them more often and are planning more trips to Brooklyn in hopes of seeing them more.

So I don’t know if there’s any way to bridge this gap. I just needed to get these thoughts off my chest so thanks to anyone who reads this.

And for the record, neither my MIL nor my FIL voted for Trump.

The amount of contempt the current GOP has for veterans has been dripping all over the country for a long time now. You would think this would result in them receiving close to zero votes from veterans.

i do wonder if part of the recant was because she was afraid the magats would come after her, cos she obviously can't rely on her son for protection (not excusing it, just wondering)

I for one could use and explainer on the current status of the ERA because evidently I don't have a clue. The "ERA Coalition" doesn't seem eager to explain it to me.

> So what’s been happening outside of me watching a whole lot of truly awful Hallmark movies that all have the exact same plot (most of which starred Lacey Chabert, natch) and palling around with some adorable baby Nigerian dwarf goats? So many things!

When I was in Houston with my dad for a few weeks, after I begged him not to leave the TV on Faux Noise for background sound, that's what he actually settled on.

(Despite him not being Christian, his marriage to my mom having been arranged, and his being in favor of (semi-)arranged marriage to this day.)

I look at the MSNBC article about Lauren and in the first sentence they describe her as "controversial". I understand this is standard journalistic language, but I am getting tired of seeing the word "controversial" instead of the the more correct "jackass".

As a disabled veteran I'm glad that Economist article is behind a paywall that even Pocket can't breach, so I don't have to blow my stack reading it, or find out that the author probably has never served anybody anywhere. Or maybe there is no author because the Economist is like Time in that its "content" is prepared by faceless and nameless wannabe authors. So why hasn't it almost disappeared, like Time?
