Honestly? I always thought it was two words "door mouse". Like "church mouse" or "city/town mouse" or "country mouse". I couldn't figure out how it got that name, sounds like maybe that's the mouse in the tailcoat and white gloves that minds the mouse hole entrance or something.
Just in case anyone has any doubts, the Kennedy Center's coming down. If Donald Trump didn't intend to take it down, he wouldn't have removed the cherry trees. The trees had to come out before the building could be demolished.
President Donald Trump sparked outrage after his administration was exposed for preparing a $2.8 billion military package amid “extraordinarily dire” economic signs — funded entirely by American taxpayers.
On Tuesday, The Washington Post revealed that the Trump administration was actively preparing to sell $2.8 billion worth of weapons to Israel, including 40,000 “controversial” 2,000-pound bombs, citing an anonymous U.S. official. While described as a sale, the Post noted that the “transaction is financed through a mechanism known as Foreign Military Financing,” in which American taxpayer dollars are transferred to Israel to fund the purchase.
Right-wing media figure Tucker Carlson expressed outrage on Tuesday over the arrangement, calling it a “gift” at the expense of American taxpayers in support of Israel’s siege on Gaza, which he labeled a “genocide,” as has a United Nations committee and countless human rights groups.
Prominent tech vlogger Zack Nelson called the revelation “TRULY INSANE,” and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) vowed to fight to halt the weapons deal.
"The United States has confirmed for the first time that it has deployed weapons in space, a remarkable revelation after previous warnings about countries such as Russia possibly weaponizing a global frontier long agreed in treaties to be used for only peaceful purposes. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said Monday that the U.S. has fielded “on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action.”
In April 2024, Russia vetoed a joint U.S.-Japanese resolution that would have called on all countries not to develop or deploy nuclear arms or other weapons of mass destruction in space, as banned under a 1967 international treaty that included the U.S. and Russia. The treaty also declared that outer space was a global commons that could be used for only peaceful purposes. The Russian delegation called the resolution hypocritical and a double standard and instead proposed a rival resolution to ban all weapons in space “for all time.” It ultimately failed.}
"The Obamas are mourning the death of their beloved dog Sunny, a Portuguese water dog who joined the family at the start of their second term in the White House. Sunny was one of two Portuguese water dogs who lived with the first family during their eight years in the White House. Her arrival in 2013 followed the gifting of Bo, a male, to the family in 2009 by the now-late Sen. Ted Kennedy. Bo died in 2021 after having cancer." [HuffPost]
Ta, Rebecca. I watched some of the hearing with Kr@$h, and man, did he ever fuck that up. Ta, Martini. I had heard of Romans eating peppered mice; I had no idea that it was dormice, and I didn't know they ate them stuffed. I rely on this mommyblog for culinary history! I'm sipping flowery white tea, and adored and adorable husband Meccalopolis just got up for a cuppa. The dogs and cats are fed and watered; we'll have breakfast soon. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace.
Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot six months after your last, catch up on any other vaccines you need, and get any kids in your family vaccinated as well, and stay the fuck away from us and anyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because we love you, too. Do this in memory of 27 Club member Treg, Holly's heroic pilot friend Tony, Dolly Parton, who put up a million dollars of her own money to make the Moderna vaccine possible, and nearly eight million dead worldwide, possibly including Gav, who had long COVID. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel (we love you, medicos of Wonkette, from student to active to retired), especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Stay safe. When we vote, we WIN!!
The thing about Trump and the Kennedy center is that he's already cut down the willow trees around the center that weep for JFK, and he's kicked out the abstract art, "Blue" which is just stupid because it's a nice and easily understandable work of art. He's a vertible Nero fiddling with Rome burns -- and he set the fires.
I forget where I read multiple excepts of Patel's testimony at the Senator hearing, but it was non-stop bonkers. Not just the beastiality stuff, but almost everything he was asked. After a day of that I think Congress would be fully entitled to impeach him. And should.
Yes, Rob Sand deserves the shit he gets for his non-stance on trans rights. But where is the shit Talarico deserves for collapsing on them. He continues to stand up to so much but on trans kids, he just gives up and punts. Why? Just because he's asked about it a lot? Boo-fuckiing-hoo. All these politicians need to step up for these kids. This kids aren't trying to get an upper hand and people need to shut that argument down as quickly as it comes up. These kids aren't quislings pretending just to win a trophy. They just want to play sports with their friends and hopefully make more friends along the way.

Dormice were a Roman delicacy.
Hey tail, where are you going with that dormouse?
But what did he say? I can’t remember!
“Edible”. It’s right there in the name!
I can't help but wonder if Trump inspired that hibernation pose. The only difference being that Trump drops off randomly and has actually succeeded in getting his whole head entirely up his ass.
So THAT'S why his hair looks like that.
"A little dab'll do ya!"
Some sort of cute Babby rodent, other than that, I'm stumped.

You gonna do a titmouse next?
Cuntbadger or GTFO
“Treacle,” yawned the Dormouse.
(Possible misquote; haven’t read it in awhile).
It should be titmouse to keep it juvenile and tawdry
Girl that thing is so FUCKING CUTE I just briefly became unconscious. 🥰
I admit that I squeed when I found the video post.
Staple some antlers to it, it might look a little more Christmasy.
"Right away, Mr Cross ..."
ISWYDT
The Romans used to fatten those little things up and eat them as appetizers.
Feed your head!
I remember
I knew someone would beat me to it!
Never before can I recall contemplating a dormouse, a critical cuteness deficit it has taken entirely too long to rectify.
What a perfectly PRECIOUS little creature!
Thought Lewis Carrol invented them.
Honestly? I always thought it was two words "door mouse". Like "church mouse" or "city/town mouse" or "country mouse". I couldn't figure out how it got that name, sounds like maybe that's the mouse in the tailcoat and white gloves that minds the mouse hole entrance or something.
MTA employees call passengers who clog subway car entrances and won't get out of the way "doorlice."
"Whar did I put that piece cheese?"
If Stephen King and Carl Hiaasen co-authored a novel, it would read like the current Trump administration.
I need to dust off my Nicolette Larson albums! Thanks for the reminder!
Just in case anyone has any doubts, the Kennedy Center's coming down. If Donald Trump didn't intend to take it down, he wouldn't have removed the cherry trees. The trees had to come out before the building could be demolished.
Hey Rebecca, I wasn't going to listen to the video until you said it was for your lovely mom. Now I'm crying. I hope you're hanging in there.
The hibernating Dormice is very SQUEEEEEEEEE!
(Not NOTUS, it’s Washington Sun) Never Mind The NOTUS, Here's The Washington Sun!

This is sickening.

He's a vertible Nero fiddling with Rome burns -- and he set the fires.
I firmly believe that he will bulldoze the building under the veil of sarkenss.
That's what I've been saying since he first started in on it. Expect the East Wing treatment.
I forget where I read multiple excepts of Patel's testimony at the Senator hearing, but it was non-stop bonkers. Not just the beastiality stuff, but almost everything he was asked. After a day of that I think Congress would be fully entitled to impeach him. And should.
I'm sure he just pulled out his burn book and insulted his questioners. That seems to be the MO of these a-holes.
I just had a "conversation" with both ChatGPT and Gemini.
I said, "I didn't not do that thing I didn't."
Woo!, they had some replies.
Did you get a knock on the door from the FBI offering you a job?
I didn't not get a not-knock from the not-not-FBI not offering me a not-job.
I mean, yes, I didn't.
Yes, Rob Sand deserves the shit he gets for his non-stance on trans rights. But where is the shit Talarico deserves for collapsing on them. He continues to stand up to so much but on trans kids, he just gives up and punts. Why? Just because he's asked about it a lot? Boo-fuckiing-hoo. All these politicians need to step up for these kids.

Stand up for these kids for fuck's sake already.
