I have a print of a painting by a good friend of a grizzly in a business suit, at a desk, roaring "I hate Mondays"

Let's all sing an aire

To Bubbles the Bear

Who makes entertainment from

Water and air

You may think him lazy

He doesn't care

The river he hangs at

Has salmon to spare

Be prepared for the hefty grocery bills. He prefers fresh salmon and an occasional elk.

Growing up our neighbors had a husky shepherd mix who loved sticking his nose under water and blowing bubbles, maybe because he could see how much us kids laughed.

My dog plunges her whole face into the water bowl after getting her drink.

Washing her face, I guess. The best people recommend it!

My dogs have done that same thing and then run right over to me so they can dry off their faces on my shirt or pants. It's annoying as hell but cute at the same time.

My very fluffy good boy hates the rain, but loves going outside after and rolling around until he is soaking wet. Will he let me dry him off with the nice big beach towel until he is even more floofy and dry? Why, no, thank you for asking. He much prefers to walk over his bed of blankets on my bedroom floor and jump into my bed to roll around until he's dry. As you say, annoying as hell but cute!

I was not able to get a stainless steel straw imported into Hamiltonstan because the authorities thought we were using them to enrich uranium.

𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 Shitler hates Swift, because she is everything he fantasizes himself to be, but is not, never has been, and never will be: smart, attractive, loved by millions, able to fill even the largest venues with a paying audience that won’t leave early, and an actual billionaire with no felony convictions who doesn’t have to spew racist slurs or desecrate veterans’ graves to get attention.

All of Ohio's statewide offices are held by Republicans. All of them are term-limited out in '26. All of them want Mike Dewine's job.

So are we going to have in-depth coverage of Melon's new book, or did The (the?) Guardian cover it well enough?

"There’s something weird going on with Melania Trump. I know that’s an evergreen statement – but bear with me, OK, because we’ve got a bit of a mystery on our hands. The former first lady, you see, has a memoir coming out on 8 October. There’s nothing particularly surprising about this: every grifter who spent five minutes in the Trump White House seems to have written a tell-all book. It was inevitable she would put pen to paper at some point. After all, if there’s a dollar to be squeezed from something – be that Mother’s Day jewellery, Bibles, steaks or cryptocurrency – you can be sure to find a Trump with their hands out." -- Arwa Mahdawi, The Guardian

One of the nicest things about induction single burners is that it makes the food porn so much more gorgeous. You have a single high speed camera, filming a single pot over a single burner, with no distractions of the rest of the stove.

My sister had a rant. I corrected my sister on a few points. My youngest aunt ranted back on her. I corrected a few of those. Now my aunt's unfriended both of us on Facebook, lol. Damme if they aren't basically the same person, though at least my sister had the sense to call and argue with me irl.

Aunt hasn't yet remembered that she's friended me on 2 Facebook pages & that I'm active on both. Maybe she will, or maybe I'll just be quiet for a while & she'll forget she unfriended my secondary account.

"Trump told Sean Hannity he was at even par, the Fox News host said after the incident on Sunday, while a source told CNN Trump joked that he was actually at two-under par and in the middle of a “wonderful game of golf.”

I've been fascinated by the story about the New York subway shooting. Seems the police saw a man jumping the turnstile and charged after him. They cornered him on a subway car so the man pulls a knife. The police start shooting. The fare jumper, two bystanders and one of the policemen are injured. All for what? Cheating the subway out of a fare that's probably less than $5. Also, now they can't find the knife and claim someone walked away with it. Sounds like something out of "Police Squad."

Sure would be a shame if the Chief Bloviator was unable to play golf due to “security “ and this made him even more unelectable and unfuckable (except to Laura Looner and her boobyknockers)

If I were he, I'd rebel against the system and fire the Secret Service. Which is something he wouldn't have had if USAmerica was a little smarter and hadn't elevated him to the White House to begin with, or if McConnell had green-lit the Senate convictions FO part of the FA impeachment process.

The Hells Angels were our de facto security in the Bay Area for lots of concerts and festivals. It got tense now and then, until Altamont happened and effectively ended the 60s.

The irony, that a convicted felon illegally possessing a gun, may have been targeting a person of that same description, Trump admitted to still having a gun at his NY PO meeting so there may be a difference of altered (blurred) serial # but who knows?!

Didn't the decision for the ‘incitement of violence’ exception to the First Amendment come out of an Ohio case?

You know who should be speaking out in defense of the legal Haitian population in our Country? Justice ACB, who has two Haitian children that she adopted, will their legal status be threatened by the Project 2025 ‘denaturalization' mass deportation?

I see an Ohio Republican sheriff is calling for Harris/Walz supporters to be reported on by their neighbors if they have yard signs.

"they were looking at this as a demented, violent kind of payback for the JD Vance couchfucking jokes. Not to minimize what they’re doing! Just digging through what makes these disturbed assholes tick, and there’s definitely been a sense of trolling with a lot of them, and from JD Vance himself, this sort of seething “take that” anger bubbling over."

This, too, is why right wing "humor" is almost never funny. It almost always is couched in grievance and punches down. Pun intended.

Obviously the Democrats are the ones who are the ones who need to tone down their rhetoric.
