Not like your grandma, AKA Old Breadsticks, that's what we call your grandma, because she steals all the breadsticks meant for HARD-WORKING OLIVE GARDEN LOYALTY PROGRAM MEMBERS.
Given their neck of the woods (Somalia), these creatures would make beautiful but calamitous pirates. I mean, can you see them operating an outboard motor?
“And remember that if anything bad happens in the US to believe nothing the Trump regime says about it.”
And also absolutely anything they say about anything else. I get the occasional release from some government entity in my news feed, and I treat them the same way as I treat stories from Fox.
I shared Snyder's piece when it was published and I don't know if anyone read it; thank you for boosting it, because it is spot on. Interesting that we're talking about Argentina and the junta: for as long as I have known of him and have had to stomach his omnipresence in the media, DT has made his love of the musical Evita well known, and he has spoken frequently about his admiration for the Perons. When he kicked off his campaign in '15 I tried my best to scream that information from the mountain.
Don't start a war unless you have a true casus belli, you know what casus belli means, you have a clear objective, and you have an exit strategy when that objective has been met.
The war we're waging against Iran right now is a stupid war because we had none of those things.
I guess the weirdest news today is that Donald Trump is trying to claw back the $5.8 million he had to pay E. Jean Carroll for defamation. His lawyers are arguing that the money isn't really hers until the Supreme Court rules on his request to reconsider their refusal to hear his appeal of the lower court's verdict. He just won't give up, will he. Petty, think-skinned, and a bully.
Donnie Dbag can try to get it back if his SCOTUS hacks decide to let him try, but they're pretty sick of his bullshit at this stage – and a couple of them aren't keen on making sexual harassment part of the national conversation again.
The problem with the SAVE act isn't having to show picture ID to vote, but having to prove citizenship as well, That requires a birth certificate or a passport. And then there's the issue of people who have changed their names (like many married woman) needing the court papers to prove that. It's not simply having to show a driver's license, which not everyone has. It's a whole Nazi "Papers, please" thing.
This is exactly what I am having to go through to get my mom's ID to vote. I have to provide every piece of ID. I've had to send off for a new SS card and birth certificate since she's 92 and doesn't have that shit lying around.
Get this DMV requires all of this before they will issue a new ID. SS requires the same but I can't do one without the other so it's a stand off since she her driver's license expired a few months ago when my brother died. She has no other 'federal' ID and I can't get a new license or SS without it.
She may be fucked in voting in Nov since this is an obvious loophole.
My own FAUX-watching father told me straight faced last week that you have to have a picture ID to go into a movie theater. Of course, when I called him on it, it was "just a joke".
Maaaaan, it's been SO LONG since I've been to a movie. Who knew such wonders existed? (Answer: everyone else, because I'm always light years behind the curve)
They are real and magnificent. It’s gerenuks! https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/jumpin-gerenuks
And a meme chat for you: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/fec2df0f-4647-4f7f-80cc-c6a045ff5b97?utm_source=share
I bet lions ignore them. They barely count as an appetizer.
sound effect:
SPROING!
My cat does that. She’s weird.
Gerenuks that pronk and play
Are truly fun to see
They eat a lot of shoots and leaves
And stretch to reach the trees
And mama is the caring kind
She tends her little herd
I tried to rhyme with gerenuks
But dare not use that word
You could have used "firetrucks".
Couldn't work out the fucking context.
Wonderful!!
Given their neck of the woods (Somalia), these creatures would make beautiful but calamitous pirates. I mean, can you see them operating an outboard motor?
I can see them boarding a tanker, AK at the ready, and hoisting the Jolly Roger of the Hoof and Horn! (Which I believe was a real pirate flag.)
Giraffe prototypes.
What beauties
Those giraffe gazelles are purty.
The gerenuks mutated into Kaminoans in the Star Wars universe...
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Kaminoan
Giraffe Dear Camels!
Correct.
How did I do Doctor? Am I the best at this test?
Every once in a while, as I am about to pass out the day away, somebody does a fucking thing. Congratulations, you glorious asshole you.
"Chewchewchewchewchew . . . "
"Hey, Bert! Whatcha chewing?"
"Same as you. Mm, tasty grass . . . chewchewchewchew . . . "
Interestingly, gerenuks don’t eat grass at all.
Not with that attitude.
Not with that altitude.
True, they eat leaves.
Blades of grass are leaves, too, and if there were no leaves I doubt they'd be picky.
(is being difficult today)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaves_of_Grass
Pedantism wins?
Spoiler alert!
Grass, grass, or grass, Nobody hops around freely for free.
Those are beautiful animals. I do hope they survive Mankind and the ongoing Anthropocene Extinction Event. Nothing clever, just sadness.
I thought they were Impalas
not the chevy kind
"Vlad the Impala"
I also read that as "chewy"
I was very confused. Were they overcooked?
Overcooked Impala is notoriously stringy...
That’s why Simba eats Impala Tartare
not the chewy kind
Nom! Nom! Nom!

Agentina 1985. Great movie. One of the best of its kind. Reminded me of Costa Gavras's Z.
Peter Principle Kegseth, Secretary of Brylcreem
He heard "a little dab'll do ya" but he went for the handful instead.
Tamboli's in Memphis, TN, and Hive Bakery in Flower Mound, TX. Better than Olive Garden any day...
War sucks.
Don't start a war unless you have a true casus belli, you know what casus belli means, you have a clear objective, and you have an exit strategy when that objective has been met.

I just read tfm is looking at Mali to start a war with.

Oh! I found a senryu that I wrote for Fukui a couple years ago:
.

Fukui's ideas
of senryu are incorrect.
Also, he's an ass.
.

Fukui Senryui
Wouldn't that more correctly be: Also, he's an arse?

Also, I’m pretty sure there’s no constitutional right to unlimited pasta.

You only have to have a picture ID if it's a movie theater that offers drinks and you're not visibly well over 21 years old.
A movie theater that offers drinks...?
Maaaaan, it's been SO LONG since I've been to a movie. Who knew such wonders existed? (Answer: everyone else, because I'm always light years behind the curve)
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but it can't get too many views for my taste...

Has the digital disruption affecting this site been resolved?
Clearly a subversive troll dropped in to infect Wonkette with a stubborn virus. Now I'm consumed with thoughts of retribution.
I thought it was the ghost of Fukui fucking with us, but now it feels more like a Windows update beginning to download in the background.
Aye, comrade.
Someone jacked the syrup for my French toast before it got here. Crime in this shithole is off the rails.
Miles Tamboli can GET IT!!!
