Those critters made me think of my evening yesterday. 80-something neighbor had been in the ER the day before, having awoken to heart problems then been taken by ambulance to the hospital where she spent the entire day. She was panicked about her small pet bunny, about the size of one of those critters above. Anyway, she'd been released in the evening, so bunny was taken care of. But last night she invited several of us other neighbors over for bunny care training and wine. I found her in the stairway lifting big boxes that had been delivered for neighbors, which she was bringing to them. She certainly didn't look any worse for her ER episode, but now has to take meds. Anyway, she didn't want to risk another medical crisis that would leave bunny unattended. So now we all know how to care for small tiny bunny, who eats twice his size in fresh greens and hay every day.
As a person with a chronic health condition, my primary concern about getting sick is that my pets won’t be cared for in my absence. Bless y’all for stepping up.
My late wife had super tough feet. rarely wore anything but sandals. Could actually walk bare foot on railroad ballast with no pain. One time when she visited a neighbor when there was 6 inches of snow on the ground the neighbor exclaimed "PATTIE, YOU'RE WEARING SANDALS!" She replied " well these are my snow sandals."
It’s amusing, because I typed that little story almost a week ago (I never knew exactly which gifs will get used when) and I knew even at that point the sandals statement was probably risky, given we are not done with northern hemisphere winter weather quite yet. 😆🥶
"some Newsmax lady is suggesting that if they pressure her enough, [Taylor Swift] will sing at his inauguration."
I wonder if anyone at Newsmax is aware that one of her songs goes "We are never, ever, ever, getting back together"? Because that seems an especially fitting line for Trump's campaign.
Oh, so the________ family of Philadelphia finally sold their long-established family-run cathouse to one of the big chains and are making use of their experience in the field as suppliers of the tools of the trade; sort of like how most of the people who joined the fabled Gold Rushes of 1849 and 1897 got nothing, bur the smart ones got rich selling shovels and mules.
I’m in New York enjoying a day off because it’s snowing all day so I get to enjoy my Carnival Tuesday making baguettes, and soup while watching other people sweat and enjoy themselves in the sun
Remember, this Friday at 6PM is the monthly San Francisco Wonk meet up. Eclipse Restaurant and Bar in the iconic atrium of the Embarcadero Hyatt Regency. We sit towards the back on the right as you cross from the elevators. Look for a woman in a wheelchair. That's me. We'd love to meet you, please come.
Ohio schools need to concentrate more on calendar studies, math and rules to recuse (that aren't made up to apply at random) per this "BS on the bench" story about all of that.
so there are child-care corporations now, to raise prices, exploit the workers and get between the customers and the ones actually watching the shorties? sort of like health insurance companies. great, if so in a few years the C.E.O. of one of those corporations will run for governor of Florida (and win) in between lawsuits and Federal investigations.
I think this is great news. 100% of the RNC's resources will be directed solely towards Donald Trump's reelection and every other Republican in the country will just have to scrape by as best they can.
One who diverted money from a dog charity to their own pockets, what are the odds that it happens again? A) 98% B) 99% C) 100% Looks like we'll soon C.

That's the fiercest pair of fluffy slippers I've ever seen.

Aw, bun-buns! You guys are good neighbors.
Only a few thousand generations ago these were wolves! The mind boggles!
It's just like the cartoon: 26,000 years ago, wolves think, "Let's hang out by the fire, what's the worst that could happen?"
If only they could have seen this video.

One time when she visited a neighbor when there was 6 inches of snow on the ground the neighbor exclaimed "PATTIE, YOU'RE WEARING SANDALS!" She replied " well these are my snow sandals."
"You were probably going to wear sandals today anyway."
White-out snowstorm here this morning, so that's a nope!
Super-cute vid, though!
It's about 60 degrees here and Mardi Gras!! Still not wearing sandals though.
It’s amusing, because I typed that little story almost a week ago (I never knew exactly which gifs will get used when) and I knew even at that point the sandals statement was probably risky, given we are not done with northern hemisphere winter weather quite yet. 😆🥶
Ah this was the first battle in the War of the Tribbles (currently being waged across three Galaxies) -
I have it on good authority that those are Schweinehund. Actual hybrids of Guinea Pig and Pomeranian!
I thought they were guinea pigs when I first saw it!
Two little puffballs went to war
Their prize was from the old sock drawer
One pulled north.
One pulled south
Giving new meaning
To a sock in the mouth.
Bravo, bravo!
Right back atcha.
I first thought they were guinea pigs.
I honestly thought they were chinchillas or something.
Now, now, don't fight, there's plenty of tabs to go around.
So fierce!
Big bag of flour and sugar 10lbs.small bag, half the price used to be 5lbs, now 4.
Is that trying to be a haiku?
What, was the Cetaphil ad all about how it looks like semen?
If you’re shopping for sex stuff in Philly, everyone knows Condom Kingdom is the best place to go to.
if the box doesn't also contain the mattress, i'm not impressed

I had a Pomeranian, Bisker was her name. Yes, they are that cute!

Please warn me if the link is to X. I don't want to support that Musk fascist.
While I'm of a similar opinion, it's easy to tell if it's Xitter from the link, no warning really needed.

Snowy across the rooftops in Washington Heights but that doesn't slow down sketchy pigeons.

Thanks, ZW. Always this beautiful stuff in the world, from you.
You're welcome! 💜
Sending your kids to child care now costs more than sending them to college, which is super awkward considering how little childcare workers are paid
Not so weird. College profs (adjuncts) aren't paid much either.
so there are child-care corporations now, to raise prices, exploit the workers and get between the customers and the ones actually watching the shorties? sort of like health insurance companies. great, if so in a few years the C.E.O. of one of those corporations will run for governor of Florida (and win) in between lawsuits and Federal investigations.
Lara Trump for RNC chair? I assume you are all as surprised as I am that TFG would want a family member in charge.
I think this is great news. 100% of the RNC's resources will be directed solely towards Donald Trump's reelection and every other Republican in the country will just have to scrape by as best they can.
One who diverted money from a dog charity to their own pockets, what are the odds that it happens again? A) 98% B) 99% C) 100% Looks like we'll soon C.
D answer, in true Fox News fashion, is D) 107%.
I thought about a D) all of the above depending on the day... but 107% exceeds all rationale, so there it is!
It's also the total from an old Fox News graphic. I really should have saved a screenshot of it, since I've been referencing it for years.
Ah, I did wonder if it was a Q # reference, but went with 'exceeds all rationale' to cover all that base.
I am definitely Jacob's creepy portrait.
