Get yourself a pet lynx, supposedly they're very affectionate when domesticated.

When I look at that kind of Puma love, that affection, I have to wonder about people who see animals as things and don't find any emotional connection...

Cat jealousy alone is epic and proof they are mostly like us

In my experience, they tend to not connect emotionally with *people* either.

I supposed nobody ever explained to Trump that he doesn't get "personal time" but that he's on duty 24/7. Of all the lame excuses for corruption, that's a new one.

OMG, I luuuuuv "My Dress-Up Darling"! They are the cutest non-couple. As to their romance, well, as of volume 13 of the manga they *still* haven't confessed to one another, despite how Marin has been gushing in her head about how much she's in love with Gojo since about volume two. And while Gojo took a lot longer to admit to himself how he feels about her, he's acknowledged his feelings as well -- but only to himself. He's still convinced that there's no way some quiet nerdy hina doll-obsessed boy is a good match for Marin, so he keeps pushing those feelings down to be a friend.

On the bright side, Marin's influence has caused him to come out to his classmates about his hobbies, and they've all been a lot more accepting than his elementary school experience led him to believe they'd be. And he's getting a huge rep among the cosplay community for the quality and detail level in his costumes -- even if no one knows what his name is.

The Smothers Brothers! Thank you Dok! I was raised on my mom's Smothers Brothers albums. One of my first memories is doing the "quack, quack, quacks" while my mom played and sang "The Foxes." It's good to know I'm not the only person who sees a picture of a mountain lion and immediately thinks about crevasses.

Nobody could play stupid like Tom. And Trump doesn't have to play it.

Rep. Comer is such an embarrassment as a Congressman. If he isn't investigating Hunter Biden's dikpiks he is investigating Joe Biden's competency as President. If there is anybody whose competency should be investigated it's the man who is in the habit of answering "I don't know" to questions in the White House.

If Trump is on his “personal time” then his presidential immunity (for “official acts only”) does not apply and he can be sued and/or prosecuted for violating the Emoluments Clause.

Aw, that Smothers Brothers video sent me down a lovely memory spiral -- my daddy and I listened to their records over and over again all through the 60s and laughed our heads off.

"The White House explained Trump wasn’t making money off his presidency because the dinner was on his personal time"

"I was on my break!"

( I didn't realize being "President" had so much in common with a minimum wage retail position. )

Its really weird as a Norwegian to see the really posh boys from here who attend Harvard suddenly getting evacuated or doing interviews with distorted voices.

I heard about "My Dress Up Darling" when it first came out. I got a big grin out of it. If anything is Peak Anime, it's a nerdtastic romantic cosplay fantasy. But can it compare to Millennium Actress?

Thank you for the anime rec! We will check it out tonight.

My recent anime rec is "Kaiju no. 8" (watch it on Crunchyroll) .

"After their town is destroyed by kaiju monsters, childhood friends Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro both vow to become members of the Japanese Anti-Kaiju Defense Force (JAKDF) to fight kaiju together. Mina has since become the captain of the JAKDF's 3rd Division. Kafka has failed the examination numerous times and works in a clean-up crew that disposes of kaiju remains after battle. Kafka meets a young part-time worker in his company, Reno Ichikawa, an aspiring JAKDF member, who reignites his desire to enlist once again. However, a parasitic creature enters Kafka's body through his mouth and he gains the ability to turn into a humanoid kaiju. After escaping from the JAKDF, Kafka is given the code name "Kaiju No. 8" and decides to apply while keeping his kaiju form a secret."

Yay for non teenage protagonists! Kafka is a goofball 32 year old. He gets called "grandpa".

That's a great show. Have you watched "Fire Force"? The first season opening is, as the kids say, a "banger."

Not if it's done as an official act, according to pipsqueak John Roberts.
