I just peeked at your post about the baby fossas (I know what fossas are and all, but damn, I could NOT get the word to my brain to identify the pic here). I have to say, those baby pics filling your post are the cutest thing I have seen in ages. I can't wait to come back and read the whole thing. It might be all I have time to read today, but damn, I will make the time. Thank you.

I had found out about fossas a while back, with other cat-shape guys like linsangs and binturongs, but I didn't know how SQUEEEEEE they are!

"Fossas are carnivores, feeding on small to medium-sized animals of all types such as birds, rodents and reptiles. However, it favors lemurs..."

We have fossas at the San Diego Zoo. They have been placed directly across from where the lemurs are. They ignore each other.

Thanks so much for the cute tabs. I had no idea. Such a adorable creature existed. I went down the rabbit hole and learned all about fossas today. This was much better than going down my usual Trump hole. Thanks for the break.

In other news, FOTUS has declared Mo the Saw Man s completly innocent and had nothing to do with the assassination of Khashoggi. The ODNI released a report in Feb. 2021 saying that he did approve the act.

I want every Democrat to say "Quiet, Piggy" whenever some Republican starts lying, or just saying any of their bullshit. Watch them scream and cry.

He's a hoarder

One of the narcissistic types of hoarders

I mean, every New Yorker knew it, but I would have thought that more people learned it based on his STEALING NATIONAL SECURITY FILES FROM THE UNITED STATES AND PUTTING THEM IN THE MAR-A-LARDO BATHROOM

But it doesn't seem like enough people seemed to have learned that

I mean - at least two of the Epstein survivors we've heard from voted for him

Did Nancy Mace make a poop video because she can't think of anything original, or is it just a general right-wing fascination with shit?

On CNN last night, Attorney Ty Cobb claimed Halligan's missteps are grounds for disbarment. The embedded Bluesky thread in tabs indicates same. But Cobb also said Bondi may face disbarment for supplying written support for Halligan's missteps and possibly lying about seeing the full court recordings. Thoughts about possibility of Bondi disbarment?

"Thoughts about possibility of Bondi disbarment?"

IINM, the Florida bar has to do it

They already refused to investigate an ethics violation claim that Norm Eisen's group sent down there about her some months ago

But things may get so bad, depending on how much more comes out about how much criming she's done -- which is why it's always important to keep records -- that the FL bar may be forced to do something or lose their own ... accrediting status as an organization, or whatever they have down there

And maybe there are enough other FL attorneys who'd be discredited if they don't act that they'd also pressure the bar

We'll have to see

A few weeks ago, I had an enjoyable conversation with the local mayor. I told him I was concerned about the rise of fascism in our country, and to his credit, he didn’t blink an eye at my wording. He said are you concerned about ICE? And I said well fascism in general, but yes ICE in particular.

He said that we had one instance where they came up here and detained a woman. He said, thankfully she’s back with her family, but it was “terrifying” And he talked about the importance of resisting on the local level, and the power inherent in that. He said that we had a great assembly recently elected, and they all stood together on this, and “not on my watch, that’s not how we do things here.” And I thanked him for that and acknowledged the courage of his stance.

I’m struggling to find words to describe how I felt about that. This is just a dirty little working man’s city, and the resistance is a candle flickering in the tempest. But I’ve never felt more connected, or more proud of this place.

Whether it’s Chicago or a tiny little burg holding onto its footing between the river and the forest, this is really a fight for the survival of humanity, compassion, honor, and decency.

The Mayor in my little town leads the weekly protests outside City Hall. He does it as a private citizen but it tells us that we have a good guy in charge here.
