The daddy cardinalfish with the babies in his mouth was creepy as hell. Not a particularly pretty fish to begin with, but with eyes peeking out of its mouth it's kind of a horrorshow. :D
Hasn’t Sealab 2020 been functioning for six years now? Remember when the oil company drilled on Seamount, and Dr Ross Martin told the little girl that 50% of the world still runs on oil? Boy, our cartoons were wrong!
I didn't dig deeply. Just reading about Turnip in this context made me wonder so I googled "Roy Cohn cocaine" and came up with this quote:
Cohn was also a party animal, an introverted extreme extrovert, seemed to have only dated hustlers, carried a bag of cocaine with him (apparently) wherever he roamed, almost invented the term ‘dodging taxes’, was notorious for not paying his bills or his dues, and at the same time was the face of conservative America.
If true (IF!!!) it's the only way that Turnip as a cocaine user makes sense to me. He's notoriously anti-alcohol and anti-intoxicants. But if ROY was using and offering.....
Took the puppy to an actual dog park that my neighborhood had for years, but I was somehow unaware, of this morning. He zoomed and played with abandoned toys. Also got sniffed by a poodle mix. He's good for the day, I think.
I am truly sorry that any woman in Massachusetts (or anywhere) is in the position of having to consider maternal health advice from the likes of twisted misogynists Greg Gutfield, Sean Hannity, and god forbid, the despicable Howie Carr.

Throwing people off ACA seems like Trump's newest scheme to destroy Obamacare. He couldn't replace it with something better so he's just going to make it not work.

Well, I guess I can never run for office on account of that one time I got a temporary ban on Twitter for saying I hoped Kristen Sinema would break a heel and fall down a well after her cutesy little smirk, curtsy, and “thumbs down” vote on a federal $15 minimum wage.
Today I boosted a glass of oj and a coffee cake from the food cart on the way back from breakfast. Am I a pathological kleptomaniac or just hungry? A food hoodlum or utilitarian materialist doing what is necessary for survival? Fight amongst yourselves, and read me the verdict when you have reached a consensus. Thank you for your attention to this frivolous matter.
Maybe the Donald did coke during his Studio 54 days, but at the moment and far into the past he has a severe personality disorder, he's a malignant narcissistic sociopath. His dementia isn't helping.
Ta, Rebecca. Nice Times out of Detroit. And no, That Thing in the Offal Office isn't a cokehead like his namesake. He crushes and snorts Adderall. It is known. Ta, Martini. I loved all the photos from Oceanographic. Darling husband Meccalopolis served our flowery white tea; I made the fruit bowls. Elitist avocado toast and strong coffee on the way. 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!!
Today is the 120th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich's birth! He was a survivor of the Stalinist purges. His symphonies are indictments of the Soviet government, for those with ears to hear. This is the 2nd movement of his 13th Symphony, subtitled "Baba Yar". Among other things, it's an indictment against antisemitism, with words by Yevgeny Yevtushenko. Friends, he shows us here that *humor* is our ally.

Have a nice weekend!
Although oceans apart, we are all still flying on the same planet.
These are fabulous, thanks!
Speaking of oceans, I'm not sure why, but this mesmerizing art piece, "The Facial Expressions of Tethys" by Julius von Bismarck, is all over Bluesky today. https://bsky.app/profile/bartgonnissen.bsky.social/post/3mw7mjvatrs2z
I love the idea behind that art installation.
Let's get wet!
I guess that this isn't eligible for an award, but it works for me.

That's great!
That first image, the black-and-white one of the seahorse? That’s his best album.
The daddy cardinalfish with the babies in his mouth was creepy as hell. Not a particularly pretty fish to begin with, but with eyes peeking out of its mouth it's kind of a horrorshow. :D
Needs a theme song.

Thank you for the truly beautiful TABS gif this morning! What a nice Friday! That precious pinniped pup!
Yay! I looked at all those photos the other day!
We know so little about the oceans and seas of our planet and the life inhabiting those waters. Perhaps if we invested in studyi ---
Oh, who am I kidding?
Hasn’t Sealab 2020 been functioning for six years now? Remember when the oil company drilled on Seamount, and Dr Ross Martin told the little girl that 50% of the world still runs on oil? Boy, our cartoons were wrong!
That was a most excellent slide show, again thank you for doing this for all of us here at the Wonkette to enjoy.
The ocean looks like an alien planet..
We would be impoverished without the passion of these ocean photographers who find wonder everywhere. So cool! Thanks, Martini.
Them bebby tortoises look like raw peanuts ready for barlin'
To you AND a bunch of seagulls, probably.
I couldn’t help but notice that in none of the scenes of shells could I see “8647”. So, is it not a naturally occurring event?
Have no fear. Nature is going to 86 47 sooner than later.
Maybe It Will Happen Today https://bsky.app/profile/today-maybe.bsky.social
So sad. Finally rich, yet 99.5% dead. JK about the first part.
Your lips to Ronald McDonald's ears.
Congrats to all of the winners!
Love that movie!! Naked space vampires, doesn't get any better!
Roy Cohn was known to always carry a big bag of cocaine with him. Just sayin’
I have felt forced to learn a lot about this guy
But I didn't know about that
Do you have a source on that
?

It is true that there are very few black folks in Vermont (where I live -- I'm a White Male Geezer) -- but I guess there are a few here and there.
There are definitely a few
They just might not have wanted to come out while Michael Harriott was there if they hadn't done the reading for the week
I'm just saying
(That's the newsletter Rebecca is excerpting - it belongs to Michael)
OT! Dog Edition!
Took the puppy to an actual dog park that my neighborhood had for years, but I was somehow unaware, of this morning. He zoomed and played with abandoned toys. Also got sniffed by a poodle mix. He's good for the day, I think.
A dog that gets to socialize with other dogs on a regular basis is a contented dog!
I am truly sorry that any woman in Massachusetts (or anywhere) is in the position of having to consider maternal health advice from the likes of twisted misogynists Greg Gutfield, Sean Hannity, and god forbid, the despicable Howie Carr.
I only recognize the first two. I will.try to immediately forget the third.

'Lieawatha' is Elizabeth Warren.
Throwing people off ACA seems like Trump's newest scheme to destroy Obamacare. He couldn't replace it with something better so he's just going to make it not work.

Slava Ukraini. 🌻🇺🇦💙💛
I love you, darling.
This retired boy has two work calls lined up. They're making it worth my while. Still can't replace me!
Happy Friday to all who celebrate!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳. NOLA approves. Start your alcohol consumption early, and let the good times roll!
So Trump thinks the guy who got shot in Butler who just died is the guy who already died. And no one is correcting him.
Our normal isn’t. At all.
Trump doesn't even remember the guys who die worshipping him.
Let's ask Trump for the name of the firefighter who took a bullet for him in Butler, Pa.
Then, let's ask him to spell the name of the firefighter who took a bullet for him in Butler, Pa.
Ha! Trump suing someone who did polls for years and losing YET ANOTHER stupid case.
The Tylenol Murderer story was pretty fascinating once again showing that there is a fine line between genius and madness.
Also that journalism still exists.
And it's braided, chaotic, at the boundary.
