I watched a movie yesterday called Thunderhead: Son Of Flicka from1945 starring Roddy McDowell. Whole lots of horses, horses everywhere. After the opening credits, the following appears: "The producers are grateful for the invaluable assistance and approval of the American Humane Association under whose supervision this picture was made." Nowadays of course you see a disclaimer like that all the time even if there's only one kitty cat sleeping in the corner but that had to pretty rare 80 years ago.
Teen Vogue should get Fox's seat in the WH correspondents scrum.
Eric Adams is why I'm currently giving ranked choice voting the stink eye.
Bunnies: why do they need good eyesight anyway?
Deadheads for Kamala: I'm gonna get high from the secondhand smoke over Zoom!!! And, this should be followed by Jazz fans for Kamala, Folkies for Kamala, and Polka players for Kamala. (I'm sorry, but all accordion players go to hell. It's the law.)
"New Right"? It's kind of _close_ to what I feel it really is. The correct word does indeed start with an R and has an "i" and a "h" in it, but it's just a little off.
I'm in Mesa County so I've been following the Tina Peters story a bit. One of the odder parts of her story is how she's getting sponsored by rich men of a certain age. She had the My Pillow guy hiding her out for a stretch of time and now she's also got the wackadoodle ex CEO of overstock dot com financing her and making incendiary and violent comments on her behalf.
"New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a putative Democrat" Bear in mind that NYC has a long tradition that each mayor must somehow find a way to be worse than the one before. Mere party affiliation doesn't trump this.
Funny how Kevin "Bloodless If The Left Allows" Roberts keeps asserting that P2025 is "for any administration" i.e. TOTALLY nonpartisan when it CONSTANTLY refers to "the next conservative Administration" and several times even specifies aforementioned Administration as taking office in January '25. Hmmm. 🤔
I went to a book signing in a fairly liberal part of New Jersey last night, and when I stopped into a bar and grill to get a burger and beer before the reading. There was a guy there at the bar talking to a couple of his buddies who was wearing a t-shirt that said something like "I care for my family" with an illustration of about seven different guns, from an AR-15 with a scope down to some sort of handgun. (I forget the exact wording, but the implication was that the guns were his family, or at least part of it.) If I was on Twitter or whatever I would have tried to get a picture of it and post it with the hashtag #ThisIsWeird. Because it is. We have become inured to this type of psychopathy for so long that we barely notice it. It should be called out for what it is.
People seem to forget Adams barely won the primary. We almost had a smart and experienced woman but two things fucked that up. Mismanaged ranked choice voting and misogyny. I did not vote for Adams in the primary but every time he does something stupid I have to hear how NYers are fucked up. I hate the guy and didn't want him. Yes he is a bad mayor. I dread seeing his name pop up. WTF stupid thing did he do now.
& that weird new voting system, ZW knows more about how bad it is. Stacked? Layered? Just one those maybe seems helpful in theory, but man the practical results suck for everyone except the 3rd rate hack actually ends up in office. They’re playing with it out west too & it’s convoluted inceptioning not great
All the little "X for Harris" and "Y for Kamela" groupings brings to mind the old "Big Tent" metaphor for the Democratic Party. But I think at this point we've outgrown a single tent, and we're more light a big ol' college football tailgate. There's hundreds of tents, representing hundreds of different groups, but we're almost all cheering for the same team.
Even people who usually support other teams are welcome at a tailgate, if they are cool about it and bring a side dish.
Are you cheering for the OPPOSING team? Well, you better find your own spot on campus and try not to piss off the locals. (Now, if your team is more assuredly going to get its ass kicked by the home team hosting the game, you're welcome to wear your jersey and have some self deprecating humor about the slaughter that is about to occur. And bring some beer.)
1997--I went to see Florida State play at Clemson and to stay incognito I wore one of my Bowling Green football tshirts. Orange lettering, third party. Plus had my elderly grandma with me.
Probably not. He is actually forbidden by law to bring Gitmo prisoners to the US mainland. The only alternative would be to find a third country that would take these guys into their prison. Won't happen.
Not that I'd like to see them on our (homeland) soil, but aren't we kind of responsible for them now. They were kidnapped by, or at the behest of, the US government. Put them on W's or Cheney's or Yoo's ranches.
I'd be happy to eminent domain W's ranch but I think he sold it. I'm warming to the idea of putting them on Cheney's property and kicking the Cheneys out, maybe to the Hague. Yes, that sounds better all the time.
What a pretty little bun-bun! Source info is here: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/watermelon-bunny
And your meme chat landing strip of the day: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/46023b09-4754-4beb-84c2-2f596eaa2917
Do my ears deceive me or is that bunbun making adorable little snerking noises while nomming?
"Eating the melon down to the rind" is an old southernese phrase. It has sexy time implications.
There’s a great burlesque nym somewhere in there 👅🤩😂💗🎶
Oh, my!
The things I learn here, my goodness! The South seems to have lots of sayings that imply sexy times, huh?
I'm certainly no expert, ...but ...shore 'nuf.
The bunny was ready for her closeup...
That bunny is all “what’s dis? Oh! Om nom nom”
The raven lashed bun nibbles delicious and quenching melon.
Those lashes!
But, didn't it object to the mascara?
That mascara was not tested on animals and has the running bunnies symbol.

White Rabbit!
Go ask Alice.
Nasty teeth and fangs!
Run-away, Run-away!!!
Look at the bones!

Just going to relax under my tree and catch up with a little Wonkette
Heard a sniff
What the heck!

I saw Bob Dylan last night, did a killer version of Stella Blue
One of my favorites.
Do I really HAVE to think about Trey Gowdy, even a little bit? Because, well, I DON'T WANT TO!

**Mayor Eric Adams, a putative Democrat**
"Or, Mayor Adams, a punitive Democrat "

Ammosexuals.
Agreed. Gun fetishing is psycho.
WTAF is wrong in NYC they keep electing right wing assclowns?
New York produces lousy Democrats.
I should say that New York produces wonderful Democratic voters (like me & Mrs. H.), but lousy candidates.
Native New Yorker here transplanted to Arizona don’t think I’m a lousy Democrat at all
NY Dem here. Not lousy.

"If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight".
Yes, Today is Jerry's birthday. Deadheads for Kamala!

Mornin', 'Trix!
Thanks for your service.

Always go Undercover Brotha when playing away. 😛
"Outrage after Biden cuts 9/11 terrorists 'sweetheart' deal" - Fox
Also, large prisoner swap with Russia.
Feels like Biden's cleaning house, getting shit done while he can.
Is finally closing Guantanamo on the short list?
I just read the story that said Biden didn't know about it til yesterday. It was DOJ/the prosecutors of 9/11 cases that made the call
I saw that Two Scoops is taking credit for the exchange. How does he get his head through doors with that ego?
Probably not. He is actually forbidden by law to bring Gitmo prisoners to the US mainland. The only alternative would be to find a third country that would take these guys into their prison. Won't happen.
I hope so!
He might want to but there's still a double handful of people who have been cleared to leave but nobody will take them. Would love to see it though.
Not that I'd like to see them on our (homeland) soil, but aren't we kind of responsible for them now. They were kidnapped by, or at the behest of, the US government. Put them on W's or Cheney's or Yoo's ranches.
I'd be happy to eminent domain W's ranch but I think he sold it. I'm warming to the idea of putting them on Cheney's property and kicking the Cheneys out, maybe to the Hague. Yes, that sounds better all the time.
