Love watching animals yawn. Something we all have in common.

Scotch is wondering what the poor lions are doing. And "While you're up, a saucer of milk and some treats would be nice!"

That is one content looking critter. The yawn!

Ermergerd, look at that cute little guy. Mine still sleeps on her back and she is supposedly a grown-ass adult cat now, so who knows? https://substack.com/@tootsstansbury/note/c-129982756

Susan Collins is confused and concerned as to why her state is so popular with lions.

No, it's NOT time to impeach. There aren't enough Democrats in the House. After the midterms when the GOP suffers catastrophic losses, that's when it will succeed.

Literally boxes of books written about how White people destroy everything

"As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives."

It's depressing how many folks who look like the ones doing this but who claim to be pro-democracy and/or reasonably progressive just ... shut your eyes to it

When is someone gonna do something about Israel's slaughter of innocent children?! We need join France and England and support a Palestinian state. And abolish AIPAC.

In other EU news, goddaughter will not, after all, be going off to pursue a soul-less masters degree in marketing, but instead is headed to the French Senate, where she'll work for one of the commie-pinko senators.

This! How can one be expected to wake up to this much cute? To then be followed by cuddles, snuggles, purrs, and maybe the odd biscuit? I would die, except I have to get up and scoop litter, give eye drops and ear meds, and feed this silly clowder.

Thanks for calling out Jonathan Last’s “Cletus Voice”. I haven’t read the article (or the Bulwark), but I do find those characterizations (sloppy Southern dialect, rednecks with missing teeth, obese people in scooters and MAGA hats) to be annoying, crude, and unhelpful.

The problem people are those at the top (as any Wonker knows). The billionaires, the business owners who don’t pay living wages, the folks who think that because nothing bad has happened to them (yet), Trump and MAGA can do whatever they want.

i don't know, JVL's rants kinda give me life (and i must confess i have as much respect for the average 'merican as he does.).

he had one a couple years ago (biden days) about the $300 skeletons popping up on everyone's lawns as the average 'merican bitched and moaned about inflation and biden's economy. still use that as shorthand.

You don't "steal" people, you "poach" them. Because if people are hunted out of season that hurts all of us.

Israel crossed the line for any definition of a just war a long time ago. We’re now at the point where we have to ask, “if Bibi’s goal isn’t ethnic cleansing, then what is it?” Because it sure as hell looks like it’s ethnic cleansing.

Bibi and his administration want to exterminate the Palestinians and take their land, end of story. We need to force Israel to rebuild everything they destroyed while we help Palestinians create their own state. I hope all of Bibi's war crimes backfire.

It is very much Ethnic Cleansing. Trump is definitely planning on this, and Jared is planning where to place his next hotel using Saudi money.

I just hope and pray that the media does not stop questioning the Epstein files. I find it incredulous that SCOTUS would in a million years allow Rump to pardon Maxwell. That would certainly be a nail in the coffin of America. The New Republic article was great but it holds out a helluva lot of hope that this will blow back in MAGA’s face.

I heard Ken Starr is in the Epstein files, if so chances are increased Boof, possibly also Squee are in them. Wouldn’t put Alito, Thomas or Roberts past being in there either. And at first I thought “Not Gorsuch, he wouldn’t do that but now I’m like “ehhhh?”
