Vervet monkeys have danger signals, including one for leopards. When they hear the signal, they climb trees. Someone should tell them about the little leopards.
I'll be honest, I do NOT want to see the new Snow White, purely because I think the CG is honestly weird and off-putting. Like, everything looks...greasy? I know quite a few people feel the same way, so I very much doubt anyone's politics are the real reason for the poor performance.
Headed to work where I’m gonna put in a few hours, and then to the dentist office for some minor dental surgery-they had a cancellation— and then back to the office, and then I have a Felderkreis session in the afternoon and then an appointment with my physical therapist, and I would love to fit a swim in there somewhere today. Also, today is like the day for applying for Medicare part B-no pressure-and then also I need to sign up for a class that I need to take if I’m going to keep my professional license current after I retire.
My abilities are old and weak; I may require enhancement. She doesn't drink, so I'M the one who has to take notes and maintain situational awareness. My background anxiety is getting nervous about not feeling sufficient fear of failing to understand just what the fuck is going on. I can't perform well until THE FEAR sets in, and THE FEAR cannot be faked.
Last sentence should read "I used 'In God We Trust' to save me".
"Trump Pardons Car Company CEO Convicted Of Defrauding Investors
Trump on Thursday pardoned Trevor Milton, the founder of Nikola Corp., who was convicted in October 2022 of defrauding investors by lying about the capabilities of electric and hydrogen-powered semi-trucks it planned to sell.
Milton was sentenced to four years in prison in December 2022. Prosecutors recently asked U.S. District Court to force Milton to pay $660,800,000 in restitution — equivalent to the amount of damages to investors in the case.
Thanks to Trump’s pardon, he’ll now pay zero.
In 2024, Milton donated $920,000 to the Trump 47 Committee and $750,000 to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s political action committee, records obtained by CNBC show.
Milton is the second person convicted of fraud Trump has pardoned in two weeks. Earlier this month, Trump pardoned Brian Kelsey, a former Tennessee lawmaker who pleaded guilty to a campaign finance scheme in 2022, after the Republican served just two weeks of his 21-month prison sentence.

"Law Firm In Talks With Trump To Avoid Executive Order: Report
Top law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom is in talks with Trump to preemptively stop him from issuing an executive order against the firm, The New York Times reported, citing five people familiar with the discussions
This would mark the first time a law firm has attempted to avert an executive order from Trump, who's been issuing directives against firms he believes have wronged him. The orders have blocked the various firms from doing work with the federal government.
White House advisor Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, targeted the firm in a social media post Sunday for assisting on a lawsuit against right-wing commentator Dinesh D’Souza. “Skadden, this needs to stop,” wrote Musk, who has incredible influence in Trump's administration." {HuffPost}
"Law Firm Jenner & Block Sues Trump, Calls Trump Executive Order 'An Unconstitutional Abuse Of Power' Jenner & Block on Friday sued the Trump administration over an executive order signed by Trump earlier this week targeting the law firm, citing in part its ties to Andrew Weissmann, a prosecutor who previously worked for the firm and also worked in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office."
"The cargo planes that landed in Nuuk on Sunday were not the opening wave of an American invasion. Instead they unloaded four bulletproof cars in preparation for a visit. On Friday America’s vice-president, J.D. Vance, and his wife, Usha, will arrive in Greenland’s capital. "
Bringing your own armored cars with you is a sure sign that everyone at the place you're visiting just LOVES you!
Given she’s where I got my name from, I’m contractually obligated to say Fuck yeah Christine de Pizan!
The article didn’t mention it, but she is the first known female author to make a living as a writer using her own name in Europe (rather than publishing anonymously).
And another way she refused to stay in the lane they tried to put her name, she wrote a comprehensive book on arms, tactics and the causes of warfare and it is one of the most important sources for early gunpowder technology in Europe (she was very much pro peace though and there is a lot on what constitutes a just or unjust war). She also wrote it in French rather than Latin because she wanted the military to be able to read it and come to a better conclusion than going to war again.
I didn’t buy pizza, but I made a donation! I don’t have kids, so I’ll help support yours. Didn’t we used to value education? Maybe I’m confusing this country with someplace else.
I respect the opinion that we shouldn’t be using violence, but I’m not going to be angry if a couple of these weasels get Luigi’d. They’ve declared war on us, so let’s show them what that looks like.
I’m learning Danish via Babbel and Duolingo. When the war with Denmark breaks out I can be part of the resistance. I also know a little French (from high school) and some German (from college). I’ll leave you with one of my favorite German phrases: Jeder Nazi ist ein hurensohn - every Nazi is a son of a whore.
Trump promises to re-Confederatize the national parks and monuments because it’s the liberals who “perpetuate a false revision of history or improperly minimize or disparage certain historical figures or events.” My god.
My Dad lives in Tempe, AZ - one year I drove up to the Grand Canyon in the winter - and it was glorious. I’ve been there a number of times - but to be there without tourists was heaven.

Spotted killer kitties!
As usual, this is compelling argument for why I never should venture into the wild. There were SO many opportunities to scratch that little leopard tummy!
Mom: "Come down from there this minute!"
I'll have to tell my eye doc this morn "Spots! I was seeing spots before my eyes Doc!"
They'll never eat MY face.
What a cute little face eater! :D
Today, we are all those little leopards hanging on for dear life.
They're so brave!
And now we know the source of those 'Hang In There Baby!' posters.
Mama sez "Won't you please
Climb down from those leafy trees .
Your climbing skills are quite top-rated
But, they make you look too pixilated. "
Hey everyone, I've spotted a cute pome here!
😂 I am sorry about the quality of the image. I really messed with it and this was as clean as I could get it. But this way we get a good MNS poem as a result.
I blame the trees.
Me too!
Leafy bastards!

(looks up vervet monkey)
SQUEEEEEE
Hang in there!
Silly leopard babbies! There's very few faces in trees!
Spot the babies!

I JUST WENT TO HOUSE ON THE ROCK AND HAD ZERO PANIC ATTACKS PLS APPLAUD
I'll be honest, I do NOT want to see the new Snow White, purely because I think the CG is honestly weird and off-putting. Like, everything looks...greasy? I know quite a few people feel the same way, so I very much doubt anyone's politics are the real reason for the poor performance.
What was wrong with the original one ... Oh right; they can make more money putting out a remake, of course.
Some of us prefer our Snow White a little greasy.
To tune of Plastic Jesus
I won’t hit no tariff bump,
Long as I got my plastic Trump,
Sitting on the dashboard of my car.
The country is an empty husk,
‘Cause Donald has been bought by Musk,
At the White House in a Tesla car.
(Chorus)
Waltz, Gabbard and Hegseth,
Scare our allies half to death,
While JD humps the dashboard of my car.
Tesla’s unsafe at any speed,
Thanks to Elon’s corporate greed,
Where the hell’s the dashboard of my car?
Chorus:
Well beat the drums and ring the bell,
This country has gone straight to hell,
And now I can’t afford to buy a car!
My pot metal Jesus tarnished:( But He is affixed to a hand-carved ironwood cross that FLUORESCES, which just might tip the balance in limbo.
Headed to work where I’m gonna put in a few hours, and then to the dentist office for some minor dental surgery-they had a cancellation— and then back to the office, and then I have a Felderkreis session in the afternoon and then an appointment with my physical therapist, and I would love to fit a swim in there somewhere today. Also, today is like the day for applying for Medicare part B-no pressure-and then also I need to sign up for a class that I need to take if I’m going to keep my professional license current after I retire.
Breathing in/breathing out.
ETA also, it is snowing.
Though absurdly outshined, I'm sticking with my original plan: get high and charm a piece from the old lady.
We will all be rooting for you. You can tell her this is so.
My abilities are old and weak; I may require enhancement. She doesn't drink, so I'M the one who has to take notes and maintain situational awareness. My background anxiety is getting nervous about not feeling sufficient fear of failing to understand just what the fuck is going on.

Fuck 'em. If that's all they got, they deserve to have their pussy license pulled.
Not Crap:

That's more like it.
I just read this in The Economist (https://www.economist.com/the-world-in-brief):
"The cargo planes that landed in Nuuk on Sunday were not the opening wave of an American invasion. Instead they unloaded four bulletproof cars in preparation for a visit. On Friday America’s vice-president, J.D. Vance, and his wife, Usha, will arrive in Greenland’s capital. "
Bringing your own armored cars with you is a sure sign that everyone at the place you're visiting just LOVES you!
Cars needn't be bullet resistant if one lights them on fire first. Then, as the occupants exit, blind and choking...
