So that's what a pine martin is! It is so cute! In His Dark Materials, Lyra Belacqua's daemon (soul) eventually takes the shape of a pine martin when she reaches adulthood.
Cakes Jr went to school dressed as Lyra Belacqua for World Book Day when she was about 10. We got her a soft toy Pine Marten to complete the costume.
The sad thing is that only one of her teachers recognised the character.
Another year she went as Mildred Hubble (The Worst Witch), complete with a broomstick, cauldron, and a soft toy tabby kitten. Again, only one or two of the teachers recognised who she was supposed to be.
OMG, I would have recognized both of those immediately! But I would probably be one of the few. This stuff is for the real book nerds, and good for your daughter for being one of us!
"American pine martens are solitary except for breeding season. They establish their home range through scent marking using scat, urine and rubbings from their anal glands."
I'm reminded of the opening scene of "Masquerade", where a mourner holds a mirror under the deceased's nose to verify that he's dead. The next guy sticks a pin into him.
I'm starting to think these morons actually believe the lies they've been telling. Like, does Vance actually think protestors are being paid?? He is quoted saying this at an actual meeting? Are they all so much in a bubble now that they've forgotten what is true? SMH
"Trump and his closest associates are reportedly terrified that somebody’s been recording inside the Situation Room"
Would that be the SitRoom at Mar-A-Lago which is blocked out with [checks photos] black curtains that don't quite meet, where everyone has their [checks photos again] phones out and smartwatches on?
They may think they made a deal from a position of strength, but making it from a position of smart seems to be a better approach, like Obama did with other nations formally involved , rather than some concept of a framework scribbled over a napkin. Can someone write on Trumps tombstone, ' Here lies the man forever jealousy of President Obama in life and in death - May he rest in agony'.
Also, why does he think that there wasn't a quiet threat of military sanctions lurking in the background in the JCPOA? It just wasn't one of the first 10 options, because there are better ways to accomplish a goal than bombing the hell out of it.
The 4th pix shows Stevie Miller. Dear God, how did it come to the point where that uber-twerp has so much power? This can't be happening (but it is).
So I go to the site "www.whitehouse.gov", looking for a picture of what the rump White House looks like. I click on the link labeled "gallery". There are lots of pictures there, and every one is a picture of Donald "30000lies" Trump.

"The size of these territories can vary from .04 to 6.1 square miles and is largely dependent on prey availability and sex."
the 6.1 square mile territories are the ones what don't have much sex.
He was singing in a band in the eighties. They ware called the House Martens.

House Martins are a type of bird. Nomenclature is confusing like that.

They call them "Mehlschwalbe" in Germany. Was trying to make A Funny. :D

Did ya ever have the sort of day
When you just have trouble startin'?

That little orphaned marten.
I would want to kiss that tiny nose except for the claws.
That is a cute badger-cat.
Stared at it for a while to be sure it wasn't a kitten with non-standard ears!
Please tell me his name is Ricky.
LOL!
Babby pine marten has a cute face but, yee gads, those claws!
"American pine martens are solitary except for breeding season. They establish their home range through scent marking using scat, urine and rubbings from their anal glands."
Just like Trump!
Nah. Pine martens still get laid. And they have better hair.
Well yes, but according to my crystal ball, 'pine martins are 1000% smarter than trump.'
and cute
Some sort of pupper!
Martens also come in Lemon Fresh, Sandalwood, and Jasmine.
Given their natural smell, you wish they came in those scents.
Consider yourself "Martinized".
We'll have to ask Doc what kind of Marten that is
President Hereby Herewith
Technically, the Korean war never ended either.
NOW you tell me.
Stop bragging about a toll free Strait. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FUCKING TOLL FREE!
There will never be a treaty with Iran because Iran doesn't trust Trump to keep his word. In fact NO ONE trusts Trump to keep his word.

"...he would...make the United States “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues."

What the fuck are we buying with our taxes now?
Never, ever underestimate the ability of Americans to self-own in the service of bigotry.
And zounds, the Straits of Schrödinger continue to ensnare us! There is no escape, not worth struggling!
