I have to wonder how a big butt Vietnamese Corgi ended up with a name like 'Gi'. And where Vietnamese Corgis learned to solve problems via loud explosions.
But the name is also the answer. The name is spelled G-I. American GIs were once very common fixtures in the landscape of Viet Nam and their preferred way to negotiate obstacles involved blowing shit up.
Wait - a lot of those perennials have seeds that the birds eat all winter and insects lay their eggs in the stems of plants. I love my messy winter gardens and the stalks are beautiful in the snow
From today's Tiedrich column, please share this insipid-irrational quote from Sir:
“but you know, we have a border, strong [gestures with hands], and we have a shape [gestures again] and the shape doesn’t just go straight up [gestures again]. that shape is amorphous [gestures again] when it comes to the atmosphere.”
“ Patel’s comment about not asking FBI agents who they voted for was not just noteworthy because it is almost surely not true, but because it shows how little he cares about things like perjuring himself to Congress and his oath to the constitution.”
“ President Trump said that childhood vaccines should be spaced out further than the current vaccine schedule: “They pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies, it’s a disgrace. . . . This is based on what I feel.”
Yep. Not on data or peer reviewed studies. Just on the “feelings” of the dipshit who can’t pronounce acetaminophen and who suggested injecting disinfectant.
I'm dropping this here because I can't afford Wonkette and Jeff Teidrich at the same time (what am I, Howard Lutnick?). With regards to the elevator fiasco that minorly inconvenienced Trump, couldn't they have just gotten on the elevator right next to them that was working? It lends credence to the claim that one of Trump's own accidentally triggered the elevators safety mechanism.
"Experts concerned about white nationalist imagery in ICE recruitment materials
Pete Simi is a sociologist at Chapman University who has been studying extremist groups and violence for more than 25 years.
Simi went on to say that someone who isn’t versed in far-right extremist culture will see an image of Uncle Sam and won’t think twice about it. But the posts DHS is using to recruit ICE agents can be interpreted through a white nationalist lens. For example, the caption on the post showing settlers expanding westward, the words heritage and homeland are capitalized.
“In white supremacist circles, H.H. stands for Heil Hitler,” Simi said.
Also, the caption contains exactly 14 words, which is a symbolically significant number for people who follow that ideology. White nationalists use messaging with 14 words as a hidden reference to a famous phrase from the 1980s: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”"
Some years ago I mused that AI is the finally the new technology that I didn’t want to learn anything about. My age was finally showing. I have since retired and am so glad I don’t have to put up with any of this AI workslop. I feel vindicated.
I was reminded this morning that Trump was 60 when Barron was born. Older fathers are more likely to have autistic children. Given Trump's white supremacist / "good genes" / eugenics obsession, I'm sure he's looking for anything to blame other than his own gross old sperm. Probably remembers Melania taking a Tylenol while pregnant and has decided that's the reason.
Of course, I have no idea if Barron is autistic or not but I can certainly see Trump being absolutely awful about it if he is.
Some POS in Dallas is leading off his press conference remarks with ‘please pray.’
I’m just hoping this doesn’t swing fully the other way. To either turn out to be a false flag situation, or just one in which ICE learns of a cheaper way to get rid of detainees.
Too angry? Too negative? There IS NO BOTTOM WITH THESE FASCIST THUGS.
JD Vance: “All kidding aside did everyone notice how despite the lack of a teleprompter, he delivered a clear, reasonable address on US foreign policy? It’s nice to have a president with a brain!”
Lindsey Graham: "My 7 Word Section to President Trump’s UNGA Speech: “Trump 2028. I hope this never ends.” This guy’s a cross between P.T. Barnum and Ronald Reagan. He’s in everybody’s head. God bless you, President Trump, for standing up at the U.N. and telling the world the way it is.”"
These crazy enablers are also helping to humiliate our country. His teleprompter was being controlled by his staff. Proving once again that he hires the most incompetent people ever.

The Corgi is my spirit animal now.
Woof!!!
Corgis are violent.
This Saturday in the Bay Area is Corgi Con at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. No Corgi required.
He is Gi The Great! (like Alexander solving the Gordian Knot)
Spam, no clickie.
Hilarious

LOL!
Some of us obey the rules
In life's uncertain ride
Other ones just bite on through
And do so with great pride.
I have a question for the more math oriented amongst us: did Gi solve the Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem just then?
If not, was Gi just fucking shit up for the sheer joy of it?
Sheer joy is in Corgi genes!
Thank you. I needed that. I'm still cracking up.
Full disclosure; I had a corgi once. This is an excellent example of corgi, including the proud smile at the end.
Great name for a Corgi!
The glee on Gi's face...
I think Big Butt Corgi should open a consultancy. He knows how to solve problems and is very, very happy to do it...
Balloon maze? Fuck that. What else you got?
So very Corgi.

Because he knows Scammy Jo won’t prosecute him.
Oaths! We take oaths!
Is anyone surprised that a guy who married his stepdaughter also (allegedly) abused his other kids?
Ask Ronan Farrow.

Probably for the best Shy didn’t put up the Halloween decorations early, as much fun as the giant robot skeleton in the living room is.
Call him his name, Andrew: "Ghoulie."
From that Tiedrich piece, he’s so fucking stupid—or just illiterate—that he can’t even pronounce “aluminum” ... !!!

NOT A CULT NOT A CULT YOUR THE CULT
The false praises - they hurt.
These crazy enablers are also helping to humiliate our country. His teleprompter was being controlled by his staff. Proving once again that he hires the most incompetent people ever.
A member of his staff also stopped the escalator.

They'd have different thoughts if they'd seen HRC on MJ today.
Maybe even changed parties!
