Almost all I know about Emu comes from (a) eating a tough but delicious emu steak many years ago, and (b) visiting the very-much-alive emu that hung out by the burger place in ... Orick, maybe? anyway, on Hwy 101 in northern California. They were interesting, and HUGE, unlike babby emu in the pic. The burgers were very mediocre, but it was nice eating them at the picnic table next to the emu corral.
I used to waitress with a woman whose in-laws raised emus. She'd occasionally bring eggs in, and the breakfast crew would make emu egg omelets for everyone. They were actually pretty good given the size of them.
Wait, soda water with bitters takes care of the collywobbles, aka when you get stomach?! This I will have to try! Because when my anxiety gut strikes, it's misery.
Friday: Lunch at my favorite local Chinese restaurant. Grocery shopping at my favorite Northwest supermarket chain Fred Meyers/Kroger. Read Hooper's latest cocktail selection and Tabs at least.
Sure seems like it's time for some contempt charges. Will the bailiffs actually follow the judges' orders to handcuff and incarcerate. Heck, will the judges even do it? They wouldn't with Trump, and ... oh hey! ... now his criminal minions are thinking "What you gonna do if I ignore your order, brah?"
That Trump Gaza AI video was just so bad that I think that it was meant to troll Trump. The gold statues and balloons, the bearded belly dancers, Trump ogling near naked women with Melania nowhere in sight. The give away for me is that bathing suit Trump, Elon, and Bibi were shown in their pale flabby true selves, and not the usual AI generated super hero physiques. It just seems so over the top that it's parody that goes over Trump's and MAGA's heads.
HuffPost: Trump Walks Back Calling Zelenskyy A Dictator, Questions If He Ever Said It
"At a White House Q&A with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer Thursday, Trump seemed to not remember he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dictator just a week ago.
“Do you still think that Mr. Zelenskyy is a dictator?” a reporter asked.
“Umm, did I say that?” Trump responded. “I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”"
Hey! I'm in two of those pix! Journaliamatist Brooke is in there, as is wonkecommenter Werewolf. If you look carefully you can see schnauzer Bismarck being cuddled by his Dad. Everybody had a great time. It was lovely meeting Rebecca and fam, and the other Wonketeers. Hope to do it sooner than it took this time!
"Watch Trump Tell Fox News Reporter To Gush Over Cabinet Meeting After It's Over
Donald Trump is shown on video asking Fox News host Lawrence Jones to gush about the returning president’s first Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, moments after it ended. (Watch the clip below.) “Lawrence, say we did a great job, please,” Trump said as other reporters filed out. “Say it was unbelievable!”"
So the Gene Hackman thing got a little more odd...two of the dogs were fine and running about, and just one had died, no signs of a gas leak, and it's possible they were deceased for a while...
My husband hated AHWOSG. I loved it like so many others.
The AI for Gaza is too outrageous to even believe. Looking at the tall gold DonOLD statue brings to mind the fatted calf idol that smote some tribe due to God's anger. Where's a good smiting when you need one?
My advice to all is to check in often with the young ones. I talked to my son yesterday and he seemed pretty stressed about the state of the world. I am old, and I hate this, but I am not worried about the impact it will have on my particularly lucky little life. But my son is just starting out and this administration has the potential to devastate his future and he knows it. He mentioned moving to another country with his fiancee, "but all our family is here!"
Or this could be the time when we remind ourselves that history isn't written yet, and that's why we engage instead of running (I don't mean to sound snarky, but I'm getting frustrated with my white friends who immediately defaulted to I Guess I'll Move to Canada, or wherever, while in BIPOC communities we immediately began organizing more actions and community support. I mean, you're halfway there with the impulse to check-in often, that's a huge component of the community-building part! The other part is refusing to let the fear that the administration is stoking take over- which is what they want- and to realize we're in the early days where resistance is meaningful. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now, except I'll get back on it one more time to say as an Indigenous person I can't help but see the irony of white folx deciding it's not worth fighting for the country they stole, but that's just me and my pitch black Ndn sense of humor).
Good friend who had a family loss attended a week long grief session. She reported that about half the people there were young folks grieving for the future.
Is he serious? If so, I recommend that he start researching and planning now, because many of the best countries have immigration based on points systems, and your potential points fall off a cliff after age 40.
They want to get the most decades of work out of you before you start enjoying their succulent social benefits systems in your golden years.
The United States is going to be in an ugly tail spin for the rest of our lives.

Aww! Babby emu!
All I know about the humble emu I learned from this gem of a wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War
Almost all I know about Emu comes from (a) eating a tough but delicious emu steak many years ago, and (b) visiting the very-much-alive emu that hung out by the burger place in ... Orick, maybe? anyway, on Hwy 101 in northern California. They were interesting, and HUGE, unlike babby emu in the pic. The burgers were very mediocre, but it was nice eating them at the picnic table next to the emu corral.
I used to waitress with a woman whose in-laws raised emus. She'd occasionally bring eggs in, and the breakfast crew would make emu egg omelets for everyone. They were actually pretty good given the size of them.
Wow, that’s a new one for me.
Emu to self: doitdoitdoitdoit!
*does it*
RUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Snake!
Oh wait.
Kitten-cat is playing peek-emu!
Clever...
Emus have been clocked at running as fast as 31mph. The cat will never catch it.
And I learned here in these noncomments that an emu can do openings that one would not want so why try to catch one?
The voice in my head was saying "Don't do it Emmanuel!"
I know it's projecting, but I feel like the bird was cracking up as he ran off (with that goofy side to side waddle run).
Because of course cats and emus can coexist. They’re both assholish (I love them both, but let’s be realistic).
Liberty Bibberty and the cat jumped over the moon!
Isn't it Emoon?
I will see myself out...
Heck, that's funny.
Of all the imaginings I've never imagined...
A stealthy emu startling a cat into the Halloween hop!
Beep, beep.
So baby emus are like cucumbers in terms of cat reactions?
And, I assume, Jair Bolsonaro reactions.
Has someone hit him in the face with a dildo again?
Maybe cucumbers are like baby emus in some sense grokkable only to cats.
And why not!
Kitteh on springs. Good job, Limu!
And then the murder began....

So our current President* is not the only one with a pea-sized glass brain: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgr2n8xx5gyo
In other news, Cheeto has intervened to allowed the Tate brothers to return the U.S. because that’s how he’s combatting human trafficking.
https://www.joemygod.com/
Makes as much sense as combating both human trafficking and drug trafficking by pardoning the Silk Road guy.
Jeff Tiedrich has a still of those little Trumpty-Dumpty statuettes. His pants are up, but I'd still swear he's sitting on a toilet.
Ditto. Little golden Chump on a little golden statue.

Thank you for your engagement and resistance! I will try to keep your advice in mind.
