We had a mama fox and her 4 kits hanging around our place last summer they were no END of entertainment. Haven't seen any this year though. These were the eastern woodland red foxes, though, not these satellite dish-wearing sort.
The Gray Lady, once again carrying water for TFG: "Mr. Trump has also faced threats from Iran ... and it was unclear whether security concerns might have factored into the decision."
This is the guy whose reaction to 9/11 was to claim he now owned the tallest building in NYC. Arguably the WTC site isn't the best place for him to be on the anniversary.
Ta, Rebecca. I knew TX had closed multiple polling places, but didn't know how many. Shameful. Of course, Republicans have no shame. Shows just how much Talarico frightens them. Ta, Martini. I recognized the fennec right away (those ears!!) and appreciate that the babby is named after you, but did not know about the crocs. I'm sipping my flowery white tea and am about to craft our luscious fruit bowls; I'll get my hot handsome husband out of bed when they're ready. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace.
Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot six months after your last (and get kids in your household vaccinated also, too), and stay the fuck away from us or anyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because we love you, too. Do this in memory of 27 Club member Treg, Holly's heroic pilot friend Tony, and around eight million dead worldwide (maybe including FukuiSanYesOta; he had long COVID and that can lead to cardiac arrest). Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel (we love and appreciate you, medicos of Wonkette, including retirees), especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Please, please stay safe. When we vote, we WIN!
The Trump Administration last year stopped funding a vital flood prediction program in Nepal as part of massive federal grant cuts proposed by the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency. Among the foreign aid funds that Congress approved to slash was the SERVIR-Hindu Kush Himalaya program, a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Trump on Wednesday tore into James Talarico at a Rose Garden meeting of Republican lawmakers: “He’s terrible. He’s radical left. Now he says he loves meat. You know what he does? He eats meat, and he goes outside, and he throws up all over the place. Because in Texas, if you don’t eat meat, you’re in deep trouble. It’s not a good thing not to be able to eat meat.” Trump moved on to a new name: “Talacreepo.”
Trump on Wednesday showed the latest gold-embellished additions to the Oval Office: two gold Cisco landline phones. Each phone, per a snap taken by Doocy and shared by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, features a gold-colored presidential emblem and a sketch of the White House.The buttons on the phones also sit within a gold-colored frame. “The President,” “45,” “47,” and “Donald J. Trump” all appear in gold-colored font, as well. Trump said he received the phones from "a phone company."
$6.02? That's getting dangerously close to what we pay up here in socialism hell hole Canuckistan. Saw it briefly at 1.48 / litre yesterday, which would be right around the $6 per gallon number.
Yep, Mike Roger's gets a pass for having hate speech Pastors because Dana Bash knows his voters don't care so why waste the air time? Dems still want good people in Government so stories hit with them , Rethugs wants performative violence against their perceived enemies so they could care less about niceties....
There used to be an animal that did much the same for the Boreal Forest in Canada and Siberia. Might be a little harder to bring back since they were mammoths.
Re the social security article-- he doesn't even bother to mention the fact that you can't put everyone in 401ks because NOT EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE because they are tied to full time employment at a firm that actually offers this benefit (and I'm not talking about matching, I'm saying some employers don't have the mechanism set up to allow this way of retirement savings or its sister the 403B). If you are not eligible for a 401K, you are limited to $5,000-$8,000 per year (depending on various factors) tax deferred savings. You can save more, but without the deferment benefit.

The ears have it.
I want to take you home, yeah
I won't do you no harm, no
You've got to be all mine, all mine
Ooh, foxy baby
A three martini lunch
Is decadent it's said
But post a two martini brunch
I'd be heading back to bed
The Duchy of Grand Fennec
A fox news I actually want to watch!
Dr. Peter Venckman tried to warn us.
Fortunately no one took him seriously when he ranted about dogs and cats sleeping together and the mass insanity of the cuteness to come.
"Mom? When will my ears grow big like yours?" "Aw, honey, the size of your ears doesn't matter ..."
"It's what you do with them."
It’s not the length of the magician’s wand that creates the magic.
Bunny fox!
Ear I am!
Baby fox needs bigger ears.
They're on order. Supply chain problems.
Another delay due to tariffs, er, maybe the strait of hormuz.
Dog hardware running cat software.
Papa was a rolling Cosmo, caged but still free in spirit.
My, what big ears you have!
You know you're a cute little heartbreaker.
Ear ye, ear ye.

I really hate waking up mad every morning.
I don't get mad until I read the morning news. Maybe I should stop doing that.
I had to.
Gotta have my Tab's and Coffee in the Morning ☕💯👍
When I read "Texas Funeral" I immediately transmogrified it into Electric Funeral:
Buildings crashing down
To Earth's cracking ground
Rivers turn to wood
Ice melt into blood
Earth lies in deathbed
Clouds cry for the dead
Terrifying rain
Ease the burning pain
Texas funeral
Texas funeral
Texas funeral
Texas funeral
Yup. Kinda describes my experiences in Tejas.
Also, Politico reports that Mike Johnson has cancelled Congress until after the midterms, but the Congressional Women’s Softball Game.

Unleaded gas at $6.02/gallon today at gas station just outside of Chevron's El Segundo refinery. Was pretty static at $4.42/gal prior to Iran war.

None of us will be shocked to find out that Trump is the antichrist, JD. I haaate the double standard applied to Republicans and Democrats.
