And old girlfriend of mine lived by a pond where Canada Geese would hang out during the winter, and there was one particularly assholish bird that had the coloring of a Canada Goose, but a head like a Cassowary (a term I only recently learned watching Fisk, which -- trust me on this one -- you want to watch). He(?) was a YUGE beast, noticeably larger than the others, but GF had (she thought) a relationship with him(?) Until the day I went along for Stupid B bird Tricks Time. Not sure if the presence of another (male) human set him off or what, but he started tossing her around like a fuckin' rag doll. She wasn't large, but tipped the scales at ~105, and you wouldn't guess that neck was strong enough to jiujitsu a grown ass woman. You owed be mistaken.
Moral of the story, do not misunderestimate that neck. Or those birds. Like most wildlife, they can fuck you up for realz if provoked, and GF had the bruises to prove it.
Christ, there will be snipers and drones all over DC!
@realDonaldTrump:
"At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
"The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday a proposed triumphal arch President Donald Trump wants to build near Arlington National Cemetery in Washington would not pose a hazard to aircraft but would be required to have an "eternal flame" on top."
He's literally trying to scare the rest of the community who lives there in DC
Also it's just completely insane and also the rationale based on who he claims is "begging" for it is the usual bald-faced lie
And listen -- and I asked this last week -- is there an exact time at which Nice Times stops??
Because I saw that reporting this morning, and I was literally like "It's too early for this on a Nice Times day when we'll be stuck dealing with it the rest of the time till the regime falls over dead"
Damn. Mercy Otis Warren is indeed a snarking badass and has me on the verge of popping a boner - no small scandal in a hospital gown. Anyhoo, I involuntarily free-associated a quote from American philosopher B. Gibbons concerning the unfettered joy of street racing. To wit: "Showdown? You bet. An I haven't even saddled my pony yet. Have mercy, miss Percy, I done put the coon to it on this bet."
Nice Times! At the Tour of Britain cycle race five years ago a 12 year old kid cycled along next to the break, and as they passed him a Jumbo-Visma rider handed him a water bottle. The team tracked the kid down and gave him some merch and invited him to the stage start the next day.
This week he was signed to their junior development squad.
Nice time mebbe? Laundry in dryer, vacuuming done, soon three dogs and I go to class and on the way back we all get ice cream at the drive-through creamery. Because it's still HOT AF HERE!!! Then I work on a bar talk I'm giving for an arts group Wednesday. Could be worse!
I don't wear that style of hat, but what I do want is that GIMOTHY T-SHIRT or tank or something.
A Nice Times thing? Sure it is! Unless you are a Russki.
This is just one night of strikes by Ukraine on Russia.

It’s a good thing Zelenskyy doesn’t “have any cards”.

It's a nice time for me that this old fuck is still at it.

Has Mar-a-Lago been turned into a "national security center" so he can divert Pentagon funds to maintenance and expansion?
I wouldn't be surprised.

(anything taller that 150 feet needs a red light on top - fuck you, "eternal flame")
Nice Times that there are lots of people who still remember the DC building codes
Nothing is supposed to be taller than the Capitol, either
Amazing how many of these rules we're having to drag out and/or remember because the Putrid Orange Regime hopes we've forgotten them
And every 150 feet thereafter.

Why you in a hospital gown?
You okay?
Thanks Ziggy.

FINALLY! Somebody's going to get to the bottom of the 5G Conspiracy!
It's a veritable Golden Age for the high-end custom tinfoil hat industry, I tell u wut.
I read the MAHA policy is to prevent towers from even being built.
So, his job is just to make conspiracy theorists feel validated.
Yes. They will be ignored no longer!

I hope to make potato leek soup today. I need to go to the supermarket but I am waiting for a break in the rain.

France people are showing citizens of other countries how to do stuff again
Maybe the United States can learn to do the same concerning qualified immunity, since one could argue the principle c'est la même chose exactement
