Seriously? Scurvy Awareness Day and Talk Like a Pirate Day should be on the same day. You can't be a pirate if you don't have scurvy - that's just science.
OT: I got these little tiny beetles flying around. Simba is driving me nuts chasing after them and knocking down all of the stuff. It's time to get out my electric tennis rackets and set them up.
I was listening to a podcast earlier about the MAGA-SCOTUS gutting of the Voting Rights Act and how that has always been John Roberts 'prime directive' – and it was mentioned that Roberts, Keg Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett were all part of the legal team which shoved through the Bush v. Gore bullshit 26 years ago . . . I hadn't realized that.
"Judge Amy Coney Barrett, once confirmed, will be one of three current Supreme Court justices who assisted the legal team of then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush in the Florida ballot-recount battle that came down to a single vote at the Supreme Court.
The court’s December 12, 2000, decision cutting off Florida recounts tore apart the justices and the nation, and the case hovers in the air today as America approaches the November 3 presidential election."
Oh my goodness, I simply *must* to see that version of Alice in Wonderland soon. Perhaps it's online somewhere, on one of the video platforms for, ah, discriminating adults.
The pornographic subversion of children's literature isn't some particular kink of mine or anything like that. But a musical? Come on!*
With this depression I've been eating so little and so poorly that I decided to start taking multivitamins again. I'm not exactly a limey but I don't want no scurvy either.
Sea lions count as cats on Caturday, right?
Chonkers the ‘Food-Motivated’ Sea Lion Plops Into San Francisco
Wildlife experts have been tracking the Steller sea lion since he appeared last month at a popular tourist spot near the end of Fisherman’s Wharf.

It's too early for Carol Channing.

Wasn't Denise Richards married to Charlie Sheen at some point? She needs to make better choices.
Yep!

The damn things are too small to make a decent crunchie noise.
This statue, attributed to Banksey, appeared overnight in Waterloo Place in central London.
It depicts a man in a business suit, blinded by a flag, marching off a ledge. Who could it be?
Many options.

Too thin to be Turnip but maybe Banksey was trying to be subtle.
It's probably more of a comment on Brexit than Trump.

If anyone was wondering when we should have started trying to pack the court...
George Bush. Gone, but not capable of being forgotten.
It irritates the fuck out of me that he's an "artist" now. FUCK YOU SHRUB!

Given how Hegseth is provisioning our Navy, I wouldn’t be surprised if our sailors start getting scurvy.
As long as they say "yarr," it's cool.

"Lemons and limes" is cockney rhyming slang for apples and pears.
Which in turn is code for pineapples and mangoes.
It's "le'ons" in cockney, yes? Probably not, but it should be.
Bottles got no glottle stops. As my mother would say.
Nor tubas.

I agree with Simba. We are in hell.
