The Panda has, after much debate, been proven to be a true bear, despite its odd features and diet. DNA testing has shown that its nearest relative is the Spectacled Bear of South America's Andes range. The Florida varient of these guys went extinct 11,000 years or so ago.
I've only seen images of pandas, never in person. On occasion though, anthropomorphism has me guessing that the bear is thinking "Cute? If you only knew. I'm just 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 an herbivore. I got yer cute..."
The Panda is adorable. Schumer knew EXACTLY what he was doing. That's why he was able to convince 10 of the sharpest Senators to move with him. Trump would have used the government closure to maximize his damage to it. He doesn't have the power to close it down, but he'd have taken advantage of the closure to destroy what was left. That's why you never heard Trump say one word in favor of keeping it open. Chuck is playing three dimensional chess, and I'm astounded at how little support he's getting from other Democrats and thinking people.
Yeah, "hell of a guy" missed a lot of votes, knew he was too sick to show up, yet refused to resign, creating problems for his constituents and his party. Sorry, I'm not going to bow my head in a moment of silence for Rep Grijalva.
"the expensive tents slapped up to house them didn’t meet ICE standards."

"The immigration detention system is legally classified as civil, rather than criminal, and therefore non-punitive. Yet it mimics the criminal incarceration system and holds detained individuals in punitive, prison-like conditions.

Re: Heatmap News. There’s technology beginning to emerge for heat pumps that run off natural gas. It’s early and the units are expensive, but it’s expected costs will fall as more models enter the market.
If you can’t get excited about heat pumps, the terrorists win.
It's a great idea of Gov. Tim Walz to hold Town Halls in districts where the actual (Republican) Congress person is too chicken to hold one. People need to vent. They need to feel empowered and it's a good way to remind people which party are the adults.
" To reach the really hot layers of rock that are currently too deep to exploit with conventional drilling, because the high temperatures would destroy drill bits, a startup is developing a way to drill deep wells with high-energy millimeter waves, which just melt right through rock. Dang!"
At least it's better than in the Sixties film "Crack In The World", where a scientist decided to do a similar thing but with a nuclear missile fired into the bore hole, which he assures will burn gently through the mantle. Doesn't work like that, as evidenced by the title. The script was written by a co-author of a book I once read titled "What To Do When The Russians Invade", written IIRC years before "Red Dawn" was released, which was what it said on the tin and was old Stalin-era stories of oppression re-worked into Cold War paranoia. Now that I think about it, it sounded a hell of a lot like what the New Reich will probably end up as.
Boy, is John Fetterman going to be surprised when Musk dumps $$$$$$ into whoever the GOP runs against Fetterman in Pennsylvania. It'll remind me of this classic conversation (and it's real, I didn't make it up):
JOE MANCHIN: Mitch, why are you endorsing my Republican opponent in the election?
MITCH MCCONNELL: I like you and appreciate your help Joe, but I still want a Republican in that seat.
HuffPost: The Democratic Party has kicked off a plan to host town halls across the country, with a particular focus on districts currently represented by vulnerable Republicans.
While town halls will be held in all 50 states, a handful of vulnerable districts will be targeted in particular:
Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani
Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Gabe Evans
Florida’s 13th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Zach Nunn
Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. John James
Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ann Wagner
Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Don Bacon
Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie
Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan
NYT: "In a post Friday on his Truth Social platform, President Trump said thousands of Ukrainian troops were “completely surrounded by the Russian military.” That appeared to be a reference to the Russian claims that Ukrainian soldiers were surrounded in the Kursk region — claims that have been challenged by independent analysts and that Ukraine’s military officials have rejected. Mr. Putin a day earlier had suggested that he wanted Ukraine to order its soldiers in Kursk to surrender as part of any potential cease-fire deal, signaling that Russia wouldn’t let them peacefully withdraw. “I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social.
After watching part of the “Tesler Sales Event “ at the WH I started wondering if Dump came up with this on his own, or if Elmo made it happen. Does this constitute elder abuse, when an obviously confused and impaired Dump is being made to do sales pitches for swastikkkars? This timeline sucks bigly.

I can’t believe those things will fuck your shit up.
From what I hear, bamboo makes them mellow.
What's black and white and read all over?
Embarrassed skunk!
That should be NYT real nickname lols
Funny how the NYT is neither of those things anymore.
Babby panda! Cuteness overload, and needed today.
I've only seen images of pandas, never in person. On occasion though, anthropomorphism has me guessing that the bear is thinking "Cute? If you only knew. I'm just 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 an herbivore. I got yer cute..."

If you have lived in certain parts of New England (and I know you have) this wouldn't be a pun. See also Tamper Bay and hydrangear.

i do hope you're right. i want to believe...
Bought a couple pizza kits. Looks like your fundraiser us doing really well - very happy for you.

Here's a recent video on the subject of the millimeter-wave drilling for geothermal wells:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_EoZzE7KJ0 .
It's a great idea of Gov. Tim Walz to hold Town Halls in districts where the actual (Republican) Congress person is too chicken to hold one. People need to vent. They need to feel empowered and it's a good way to remind people which party are the adults.
Does Buddy’s do charity pizzas?
millimeter wave drilling sounds cool and all, but did you know there's an existing method of drilling with rocket exhaust that cuts through rock?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_rocket
" To reach the really hot layers of rock that are currently too deep to exploit with conventional drilling, because the high temperatures would destroy drill bits, a startup is developing a way to drill deep wells with high-energy millimeter waves, which just melt right through rock. Dang!"
