I was once on a Navy ship (I was civil service) and we were pulling into a port in Spain. The tv was picking up local stations. There was a commercial for a laundry detergent called COLON. My boss looked at me and said "That oughta clean the shit out of your clothes!"
I also noticed the similarities in animation styles. I usually like to mix it up, but I sort of whiffed this week and didn't notice until after I already put them out for Rebecca. Heh. But the two animations were made 50 years apart from each other, so from an art historical perspective that's interesting. What's old is new!
So Madison Cawthorn is in a wheelchair because of a traffic accident but doesn't think he needs to drive safely?!? And this idiot was in congress. Oh what a world.
Because of course. So, after they're tried and convicted, will they claim their rights were violated because the government they hate provided them with attorneys, therefore BIAS?!?
App Store fees are taxes that pay for the operating system and the tools, not rent. Tools used to cost hundreds of dollars, making it hard to break in to the industry, people would stay on old OSes rather than pay $100/year to upgrade, meaning you couldn’t rely on your customers running something that supported your latest features, and they’d blame you for it.
So relative in south-central France has taken up taking long hikes village to village to village, and sent some wonderful photos of wildlife she encountered last week. These consisted of photos of two hogs in a pen, though at first it looked like one hog next to some sheepskin seat covers someone had thrown in their next to it. But in fact, the sheepskin seat covers turned out to be a second hog, of a variety known as a "cochon lainé," or "Woolly Pig." You can see some examples by Googling "Manganlica" or "Mangalitsa" pigs, a Hungarian breed known for its sheep-like wool and for its tasty meat.
Damn, that was one fluffy waffle. I had some extra apple cider sourdough starter, and mixed it in with the standard Betty Crocker waffle recipe. Extra floof, and a bit of tang. Not bad -- definitely giving it more stars than Texas.
Pokemon Go made the grave mistake of trying to update the available avatar options.... by deleting female models entirely, and going to a unisex body with sliders. This does not work. The addition of sliders to allow for fatter body types is awesome, but my Trainer lost her hourglass figure and now walks like a guy. I'm very upset about this.

Loomer's racist remark belies the fact that Florida's 11th Congressional district is 77% white, non-hispanic, and the greatest percentage of votes for her came from The Villages, which is 97% white.
Obviously, the racism plays with many of these whites, but to say that she would win over more minority votes if she "spoke Ebonics" is just stupid ( BTW, who even talks about "Ebonics" anymore? It was "current" among American bigots in the 90s ( altho' it was coined by an academic back in the early 70s _)
I just hope this hateful prunt gets the shaming she deserves ( not that she would recognize shame ).
Laura does not actually wish to be Black. I would give odds that if you told her she could be mayor after the next election, if she would only become a Black woman and stay that way for the rest of her life, she would either just flat refuse or would come up with some weasel way to explain why she couldn't do it.
Can we do Greyhounds Week instead, possibly RESCUED greyhounds with pictures of greyhounds in stained glass? Ok with me to do otterhounds and poodledoodles later on.
No more dingy laundry! You are watching a 1950's advert from the UK for Persil laundry detergent in your hed gif today. More info, as per the usual, right here: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/no-more-dingy-laundry?r=angu9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
I prefer to wash my clothes in coriander.
LOL, that was apparently a reason the product wasn't selling in France. So then they changed the name to Le Persil.
And that helped? LOL.
I think it did, actually
IINM Le Persil is still selling

That is *such* an Armed Forces joke
That's the kind my uncles & granpas used to tell after the moms/aunties/grammas sent the kids out of the room so we wouldn't hear it
But we were kids. And most of us were musicians. So we heard everything, lol
But is it as good as 1945 Rinso?
Whoa, Rinso Blue! I 'member.
I use Persil. It is good stuff.
Charming! But girl needs to get outta that bubble and pay attention!
What about dinghy laundry? Can I still wash my sails?
Dirty Laundry?

Are your whites white and your brights bright?
And my colored things are brighter!
Love the animation, it reminded me of yesterday's gif.
Thanks Martini!

Yay! (Exited frog waving arms.) I can see TABZ again -
The way that one little girl walked by, I was thinking of that Truman Capote short story, "Children on Thier Birthdays" I think.
Love this, Martini!
Trippy!
You try scrubbing, you try soaking....

Even out of Congress Madison Cawthorn is a pain in the butt.

The residents of The Village.
You're probably right - most of my neighbors are living in a past fantasy world
What struck me about it was her comment about how hard she had worked.
What did Laura the Loon get when she ran for mayor? 0.2% of the vote? Being Black will not get you a 49.9% boost, Laura!
What a POS.
Laura does not actually wish to be Black. I would give odds that if you told her she could be mayor after the next election, if she would only become a Black woman and stay that way for the rest of her life, she would either just flat refuse or would come up with some weasel way to explain why she couldn't do it.
Are you kidding? You wash and dry every piece of dead animal flesh before you cook it. You don't know what's on that thing
“Former Rep. Madison Cawthorn was tailgating the shit out of a lady and then rear-ended a cop.”
Context: Madison rear-ended the male cop in bed later for ‘stress relief.’

we’ll do Cat Week Part Deux!
Can we do Greyhounds Week instead, possibly RESCUED greyhounds with pictures of greyhounds in stained glass? Ok with me to do otterhounds and poodledoodles later on.
Pretty sure we could find a year’s worth of cute animals. We need to negotiate. One week is us being easy.
I love it when a plan starts to come together.
