Have you read the Dave Barry column on the time he ordered real animal, ahem, processed coffee? "I paid $37.50 for two ounces of beans. I was expecting the beans to look exotic, considering where they'd been, but they looked like regular coffee beans. In fact, for a moment I was afraid that they were just regular beans, and that I was being ripped off.
Then I thought: What kind of world is this when you worry that people might be ripping you off by selling you coffee that was NOT pooped out by a weasel?" https://www.davebarry.com/gg/decaf.htm
I ran across some in kdv in Berlin (giant department store-sells everything. Want a $25K bottle of cognac? No prob.). I didn't buy it because I was unsure if I could take it back to the states.
I am being able to recognize binturongs and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. Popcorms Bearcats! No, I'm fine with it. Now if I could just meet one! 😻
I am wondering (but I am not holding my breath) when the Republicans in Congress are going to recognize that not only is Canada and the world bypassing the US now, to the tune of billions of dollars, but the people in the administration are unaware the Trump is not immortal and we have legal precedent for prosecuting crimes done under the banner of "I was just following orders."

Ta, Marcie. Ta, Martini. We had the luxury of sleeping in, since I'm taking PTO and schools are closed.

Correct, and one who regularly anti-out-Herod anti-Herod. (Had to mentally recheck the English structure and logic structure on that thrice, pre-reply button click🧐)
How to spend the 500 B on military stuff? Easy. just proceed with Trump's brand new weapon idea: battleships. Found to be almost useless in WWII, as air power took over: Japanese aircraft sank Prince of Wales and Repulse shortly after Pearl for negligible loss.
Trump's initial plan is for two of the even bigger dinosaurs, with a.fleet to follow. The Chinese are wondering how to get him to build more: 'Do we praise his foresight (hindsight?) or do we scream in protest ?'
This right here. Kegsbreath had some of the OpenAI dudebros over to threaten them with "You WILL let us use your stuff and you WILL remove all of the safeguards on it".

The Binturong
lives in Asian forests
where she moseys along
through the tops of the trees
Perfect accompaniment to my morning coffee.

Oof.
I fucking love those whiskers!

According to Drusillas Zoo Park, binturongs smell "just like buttered popcorn" – I could not be happier! https://www.drusillas.co.uk/dora-the-binturong-arrives-at-drusillas
Rufus Thomas wrote an answer to "Hound Dog" called "Bear Cat" back in the day. Sadly it was no hit

Babby bearcats to boot!
Squee alert
My blizzardly morning is warmed by the knowledge that these binturong parents are Dora and Niffler.
Can't go wrong with binturongs. What whiskers!
Bouncing Baby Binturongs!
Binlet. Binlet Binlet Binlet!
Cute kitties, er, binturongs!
KITTIES!
Babby binturongs!
Are Bear Kittehs.
Buncha losers.

The fucking Hill with a headline that Iran is a week away from nuclear weapons. How long have they been saying that? A decade? Two decades?
civil rights abuses, human rights abuses but goddammit they're ADA compliant.
Who says that DHS has no heart? They even included some handicapped cells in their floor plan for their new jail.

This is the same theory behind "Rule 34" ;-)

Hardcore Trump Supporter.
"Every day, another Trump tantrum or twelve: Saturday’s scream was that Netflix has to remove Susan Rice from their board or “pay the consequences”:"
:fart noise in Taco's direction:
Trump in Mafioso mode: "Gee, Netflix, it would sure be a shame if the DOJ shot down your bid to acquire Warner Bros., wouldn't it?"
In any sane world, Patel's ass would be hauled in front of a Congressional committee first thing Monday morning and raked across the coals for this asinine behavior and waste of taxpayer dollars. Of course you can't spell "Got No Accountability" without MAGA!
In Trump's America this level of corruption is aspirational.
Gotta have my Tab's and Coffee in the Morning ☕💯👍

Phew! I'm so relieved to know that Elno has now been completely prevented from doing anything else bad, ever!

So he's an antidisestablishmentarian ?
Correct, and one who regularly anti-out-Herod anti-Herod. (Had to mentally recheck the English structure and logic structure on that thrice, pre-reply button click🧐)

I assume that $500B is going for AI for the military. Techbros got to be paid.

And thus, was Skynet born.
