I so miss doggie belly rubs. Joss Martin would let me pet his furry tumtum because he was the most lovingest cat ever, but it wasn't quite the same. And Wayne Michael is being too much of a brat to accept belly rubs. What I'm saying is we need cat cafés, but with dogs.
One of my cats snatched yet another bat out of the night sky (he’s an amazing jumper) and made a mess with it inside the house. It was gross and my hubs is away, so the cleaning was left to me. Poor sweet little bat, you were too pure for this world. 😢
I will tell you why we didn't like Bill de Blasio. He was one of those patrician men who think they know best and will mansplain you the job you do. In his first few weeks in office an elderly Asian man was somewhat aggressively arrested for jay walking. He was intensely car centric. His administration consistent targeted cyclists with violations like running a stop sign, or missing reflectors. He completely alienated the police department. He ran for president in 2020 with no chance of succeeding whatsoever. He got into a pointless pissing contest with Andrew Cuomo during the pandemic, seriously guys let it go and work together, people were dying. Obviously I blame Cuomo heartily as well, but this is a "Why we hate de Blasio" comment. He had no charm once he shaved his beard and moustache off, before running for mayor.
It's funny because most of the good things I heard about him besides universal pre-k (that was a huge win, I must admit), I heard about after he left office when Mayor Adams was taking those things away.
I am cautiously hopeful about Zohran Mamdani. He is so enthusiastic, and he really seems as if he cares. De Blasio was always an old political operative, no spirit.
In a sort of nice times, it looks like California is going to start paying incarcerated firefighters minimum wage instead of the usual pennies a day. In grrrrr, dammit! times, I'm thinking of firing up the pellet stove to break the chill of this winter day. Oh, it's July 2nd, and cold as balls? Well fuck. (actually, colder than balls, as balls should probably be somewhere around 98f, and it is just under 60f at the moment)

Ya, they suckered ol' Kasper in with the tried and true "sweepstakes winner" fugitive roundup sting. You know, the one where they send a letter to all the fugitives telling them they have won a big screen tv, just come on down and pick it up! The look on the fugitives face is priceless as they walk through the door expecting a tv and they get handcuffs. If Kasper had been paying any attention he would have known that ICE has been using these appointments like fugitive roundups to snatch the people up and jail them regardless of their individual story. He got snatched up and it's nobody's fault but his own. He got married, had kids, all that stuff but didn't take time in the last 10 years to get his paperwork, which he knew was deficient, straightened out.
“Trump’s letting MS-13 murder-kingpins go, as a “sweetener” to their pal Salvadoran President Bukele.”
Of all of the horrible things going on this is one of the most corrupt. Imagine the work that went into capturing these gang leaders only to have Trump release them for political gain all while telling the public that MS13 is the reason we need to be so cruel to immigrants in the first place.
Puppies exist and they love belly rubs. The one in your gif today: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/eunice-gets-a-nice-belly-rubbin

Why can't the world be all like this? 💕
I bite you and I bite you and my lil' back legs go weeweeweeweeweeeeeeee!!!!
WONKETTE SUPPORTS TERRIERISTS!!1!!
Somehow, I don't think that an exhuberant wee puppy like Eunice will ever want for belly rubs...

I miss my floofs. Bellies and beans.
Wrigley is 8, but still thinks she's a puppy and loves her Nana and for her Nana to give her belly rubs! Nana is happy to comply.
Termite will not get out of bed in the morning if I don't rub his.
I'll be happy to give that little sweetheart all the belly rubs she can stand.
Bats are so cute!
I just LOVE bats! Those black, winged mice are just beautiful creatures.
Is Scottish Black Flying Fox.
Were you around for my bat story last night’s chat? I cried a little.
No!
One of my cats snatched yet another bat out of the night sky (he’s an amazing jumper) and made a mess with it inside the house. It was gross and my hubs is away, so the cleaning was left to me. Poor sweet little bat, you were too pure for this world. 😢
Wow and 🙁
Scottie, rub me up!
She cannae take it.
Aye, but rub one puppy belly…..

The little Hawaiian shirt!
Very similar to one of yours.
I humbly suggest the Wonkmeet July 20 should be a few hours up the road in Vancouver. Much lower risk of kidnapping! Also we have Nanaimo bars!

"45 things to do with peaches." They come from a can; they were put there by a man, in a factory downtown (assuming he hasn't been deported yet).
BellinghamSTERS. Not BellinghamMERS. I could try to make either of those
So, does that mean Jared gets to kill a cop for free, as a consolation prize?
Monkees!
I love the fucking Monkees!
Everybody sing along!
Lyrics
… Here we come, walkin' down the street
We get the funniest looks from every one we meet
… Hey, hey, we're the Monkees and people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing to put anybody down
… We go wherever we want to, do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless, there's always something new
… Hey, hey, we're the Monkees and people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing to put anybody down
… We're just tryin' to be friendly, come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation, and we've got something to say
… Any time, or anywhere, just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there
… Hey, hey, we're the Monkees and people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing to put anybody down
… Hey, hey, we're the Monkees and people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing to put anybody down
… We're just tryin' to be friendly, come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation, and we've got something to say
… Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees

people who care don't bring lentils, they bring a nice Porchetta
And fresh peaches. Whole, eat with juice dripping down your chin, shared with a child who will always remember what a real peach tastes like.
The same assholes who decry the nanny state demand a nanny state.
Ya, they suckered ol' Kasper in with the tried and true "sweepstakes winner" fugitive roundup sting. You know, the one where they send a letter to all the fugitives telling them they have won a big screen tv, just come on down and pick it up! The look on the fugitives face is priceless as they walk through the door expecting a tv and they get handcuffs. If Kasper had been paying any attention he would have known that ICE has been using these appointments like fugitive roundups to snatch the people up and jail them regardless of their individual story. He got snatched up and it's nobody's fault but his own. He got married, had kids, all that stuff but didn't take time in the last 10 years to get his paperwork, which he knew was deficient, straightened out.

“BOAT ROOM”, LOL
Caught this live on my local news yesterday. It looks like the NYT covered it a bit too.
"If it explodes, we'll deign to mention it."
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/california-fireworks-warehouse-catches-fire-explodes-rcna216401
and of course they finish the story with how worried everyone is for their 4th july celebrations, how shallow
Also took place in Yolo (YOLO!) County which is kind of a self-own or something...?
Yeah, that one blew up real good.
Bad tabs day except ! Wonkmeet in Seattle... July 20 (checks airline reservations) When I will be in the NEK of VT for a sister's birthday. le sigh.
