This reminded me of woodpeckers, who I think are hilarious. Their weirdo tongues retract into their heads to cushion them when they bang on trees (or chimneys).
The next Ant-Man movie has been delayed because of friction between stars Paul Rudd and Dia Lupa. Rumor has it that soon-to-be-has-been Rudd fears Lupa's rising star power. Lupa just wants more money and has suggested that Rudd take a pay cut for that.
How does that tamandua leave with a different hot babe every night? Beats me. He just sits at the end of the bar, nursing a drink, licking his eyebrows.
Worth noting, of course, is that each of those golf trips to Mar-A-Lago costs about USD$5,000,000. Yeah, five million bucks. So, so far, about $90 million in costs so Trump can play golf.
Funny, isn't it, how DOGE has no problem with that at all.
(Narrator: No, it's not funny. It would be scathing satire if anyone with the ability to do something about it had a conscience or a spinal cord.)
Papisova calls the alt-right men “erratic, violent and incapable of managing their emotions,” and says they hate liberal women more than anything on earth,
"Trump Refuses To Introduce Senators He Doesn't 'Like' During Dodgers Visit
While the Los Angeles Dodgers were visiting the White House to celebrate their World Series win, Trump took a swipe at some senators. "We have a couple of senators here, I just don’t particularly like them, so I won’t introduce them," Trump said. Trump was referencing California Democrats Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff. Neither were in the room, according to The Hill."
"Trump Wants Military Parade On His Birthday: Report
Trump is reportedly planning on holding a 4-mile-long military parade on June 14 — his 79th birthday and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
The Washington City Paper reported that the massive parade would flow from Arlington, Virginia, and into Washington, D.C. It is unclear whether the event would feature heavy military equipment, such as missile launchers or planes, as Trump once desired during his first term." {HuffPost Updates}
Thank you, Lithuania, for honoring our service members. There is NO excuse and NO forgiveness for this tinpot, wannabe commander-in-chief deliberately going to Florida instead of Dover.
“… That Man was too busy to receive their bodies because he was rolling around on his golf course with the Saudis on his 18th golf trip in three months! It just breaks your fuckin’ heart.” Yeah, but remember when President Obama only half-saluted a member of the military while holding a coffee cup? That was the real disrespect. 🙄
How his cult keeps defending him when he is one of the most shameless, reprehensible, hateful, unconscionable scumbags to ever disgrace the ground with his shadow is beyond me. Oh right, it’s a cult.
I just really don't want to go to work today, but I HAVE to go to work today. Every single day I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, and it's closer to the day when they find out that I have no idea.
Years and years ago I worked for a printing company at the front desk, and I had NO CLUE, but my boss was a huge coke head and was not very helpful about certain things when he'd decide to run in. He'd get caught up in certain random things, like that I had to answer the phone before 3 rings, even if I was in the bathroom, so he'd make me take the phone in there with me just in case. Certain things I couldn't figure out piled up at the front desk and nobody would tell me what to do with them, but meanwhile, I got crazy overtime because I couldn't take breaks.
After a month, I just quit, and I still wonder whatever happened with that stack of things I didn't understand, even though it was nearly 30 years ago, and the boss has since died.
I'm not proud of this, but it is just something about me--I own over 30 books about Marilyn Monroe all totaled. Probably 50. This includes stuff like fiction, plays, the Christies catalog, the whole thing.
I re-read one of favorites over the weekend and saw that the author had a book about the wives/girlfriends of the Rolling Stones, so I got that too, and enjoyed it, even though it's not really my wheelhouse. But the author has a nice style and makes it engaging.
You don't need to apologize. She was an interesting woman, and the fascination/celebrity status of her is its own weird and wild tale. I wish she could have lived longer, because I would have liked to see her stretch her wings and become the stronger, dynamic woman in public that was always in her all along. What a life she would have had; what tales she could have told us!
One of my books is about her life had she lived--would she have worked with animals or adoptees, or civil rights? Based on her life until her death. It would have been interesting indeed.
She was passionate, and compassionate. That can lead people to doing Very Good Things, I find. But passionate, compassionate people often struggle emotionally.
I know it's shallow and weird, but it's me. I keep thinking that someone might like the whole collection one day. I've got one collection of pictures I never look at any more that sells for thousands of dollars online (allegedly). I don't have much in the way of jewels, but I have a big-ass book in original dust jacket that could pay the mortgage for about 3 months or so.
I know I'm not alone in this, but she was (sometimes still is) my imaginary friend. I hope she would like it that millions of people hold a good thought for her. Is it her talent, her vulnerability, her beauty, her humor?
Perhaps if we had a program for all those disaffected reichwing guys so they might try to be a bit respectful of women and maybe even their fellow man they would be more... Nah, 'cause that is what DEI is all about.
They could join a branch of the US Armed Services, and learn some discipline, self-worth and respect. But that would mean that they'd have to take orders from women and Blacks that are their supposed "superiors." And we know that ain't happening. Plus having to get up early and march around all day? Fuck that - where's my Hot Pocket, Ma?
A brother joined the AF during one of the economic down times to learn a useful trade. Found the perfect job he never knew existed, did twenty and, lo and behold, all he learned did indeed translate into a very good job outside the military.
Baby tamandua! Learn a little something about this little gal here: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/a-tamandua-tots-tantalizing-tongue
And a meme chat, by golly! https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/a19d8a8b-6c5d-4853-ad11-7fbb5616ed45
Squee overload! :D
Zot!

Aren't tamandua Anteaters?
Yes they are. This and more fun facts in the info header. 😁
Gotta have a villain.
A cute, but lobably eeeevill at heart one!
Before coffee, before glasses, there was
"That's a funny lookin' cat, and I think she's eating spaghetti!"
This tiny little creature
Now helpless and so young
Will soon be terrorizing 🐜 s
With claws and sticky tongue.
So fuzzy, small and cuddly
Tamanduas are cute
I like to give a little boop
Upon that spindly snoot.
Lookout, ants!
They'll be crying "uncle" in no time.
Do they get enough time between the moment they recognize the danger and the end as it were?
Awwww... Who's a cute myrmecophagous mammal? You are!
Ant it so cute?
She's beautiful!
So cute!
How does that tamandua leave with a different hot babe every night? Beats me. He just sits at the end of the bar, nursing a drink, licking his eyebrows.
Yet when I touch my nose with my tongue I am just a weirdo.
There are videos of males carrying mom's and babbies on their backs! So amazing!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lp7vRyc-BXw
So cool! Their markings are so interesting, too
All aboard!
That's a stack of tamanduas!
Isn't it one of the greatest things ever!?
And they have cool racing stripes!
Slurp, slurp, slurp!
Babby Ephelant!
HEFFALUMP! WOOZLE!
YAY, I LOVE ANTEATERS!
I need one around my house!
If you could domesticate them and train them to be animate dildos you could make a fortune.
Baby tamandua proves the rule – all babies with fur are wicked cute!

Bet they suck in bed, too.
So much unity; so much un-divisiveness!

Ooh! I like that even better!
Fox News would have CRUCIFIED Biden for the same thing.
Yup. And yet Our National Disgrace is the one inspiring all the rapturous devotion.
Love my Tab's and Coffee in the Morning ☕💯👍
So I guess the "free work" for him will be "fighting all those lawsuits just filed against him."
Solved the problem of getting better legal presentation without paying for it.
Lovely to see lawyers lie up obediently for Trump's game of "let's You and Them fight. " Except Trump isn't smart enough to play that game, is he?
I have my suspicions that any compelled work from those firms will be of dubious quality. His level of representation will remain about the same.
The cardboard cutout of Trump in the old feral-cat-ridden family home is just... weird. Also a bit creepy, but mostly weird.

That's how I feel now.

I feel that, too, in my own version of life.

My brother always found it odd that I hung up pics of MM. This was back in the 70s. I just have always liked her.
I know I'm not alone in this, but she was (sometimes still is) my imaginary friend. I hope she would like it that millions of people hold a good thought for her. Is it her talent, her vulnerability, her beauty, her humor?
All of the above, I think. She seemed sweet and sad. And funny.
