I am feeling more like a sloth man. When do things perk up again?

Interestingly, this is one bear species that does *not* hibernate in winter.

and pandas. They don't have enough excess nutrition in their diet (pandas, bamboo; sloth bears, termites) to pack on the pounds in advance and not eat for an extended period. It only takes about 2 hours for a panda to get hungry until it needs to eat some of its RDA of 40-60 pounds of bamboo daily.

They’re really Goth Bears, it was lost in translation.

Yes, but, "Bear cubs are SO darling" sounds like it should be in a collection of "Famous Last Words."

Is it a sloth or is it a bear? MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

They thought sloth bears were related to sloths because of their long claws and slow deliberate movements. They also thought giant pandas are related to red pandas because they both eat bamboo and share territories.

In both cases, they were very wrong.

Is it meat?

Or is it cake?

Fun fact, also in my write-up… the zoologist who originally named the bears thought they were related to sloths.

So, one has three toes, hangs upside-down in trees and moves inches an hour. The other is, pretty clearly, a bear.

Sure, makes sense to me. /eyeroll/

They both have similar long claws though. And both live in tropical climates.

If I had more incentive I'd also do more sloth around here.

Hamilton is fantastic! I could not praise it enough. It has terrific singing, characters, and a history lesson, too. I'm glad you could enjoy it, Evan.

I saw Hamilton at the Kennedy center. My mom used to go a lot and she wanted to see what the buzz was about. Not sure it spoke to her, but I left thinking Miranda's a genius.

Moms gone but I still get their mail. Schedule just came. Beautiful mini magazine full of woke. So sad.

Silly Maxwell Frost. Didn’t he know the rules of decorum only allow democratic presidents to be called names during committee meetings?

Donald Trump is going to sell “gold” green cards to rich and sexxxy prospective immigrants for $5 million

and he will somehow figure out how put that money in his own pocket I have no doubt.

I figure we're about 3 weeks from Trump demanding that google and apple re label America as Trumpland. Naturally every republican from dogcatcher to speaker of the house will praise him for it and who even is this "america" person anyway?

I lived and voted in Seminole County, FL during Cory Mills' run for Congress. He replaced Stephanie Murphy, who could have easily won reelection if she hadn't decided to sit it out. Murphy was a (mostly) excellent representative who replaced a long-serving wingnut by appealing to women and disaffected progressives. She also did a bang up job on the J6 commission. But she was also a blue dog who messed with Biden's ambitions. The race was over the minute she dropped out. I tried my best to prevent Cory Mills from being my representative, whose sole messages were "I'll make liberals cry" and "TRUMP AND GUN GOOD," but he was elected with no visible opposition.

I vigorously supported my preferred Democratic candidate, who was so desperate for any attention that he called me personally after I had made a five dollar donation. We talked for an hour or more -- mostly him ranting about the failures of the Florida Democratic Party. He never had a chance. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Orange County, where I am happily represented by Alejandro Maxwell-Frost. I became homeless February 1, but still maintain my Orange County voter status (at least I think I do). I hope they throw the book at that tiny, gun-humping bastard.

Gold cards will also be available to "citizens" (at the listed price!) who wish to participate in the new economy.

Jeff Bezos paid more for his yacht than he paid for the Washington Post, in case you ever wonder which is more important to him.

Jeff Bezos just fired the editor of the Oped page and sent an email to the department employees telling them that their writings would now focus on personal freedom and free markets.

I guess that means everyone's allowed to be an asshole.

“I have no interest, no desire and will not, if confirmed, go backwards,” Patel said during his confirmation hearing, the Associated Press noted. “There will be no politicization at the FBI. There will be no retributive actions taken.”

So I get up this morning and open my curtains - and right outside my window is a Coopers Hawk eating a pigeon. Not exactly Martini Glambassador tabs material - but there ya go.
