Sometimes I wonder what they're thinking. I mean, are those cubs like, "I love you mommy I love you!" or is it "rub and warm, to eat?"

I anthropomorphize stuff like crazy, so I get distracted.

The patience of a mother bear

Seldom fails to show

When roly-poly fluffy cubs

Are playing in the snow

They like to chew on mama's ear

And play fight with each other

But when it's time to have some lunch

They always count on mother.

They're cute when they're small.

Terrifying as adults.

I love bears so much! They are my second favorite land animal after big cats.

I hope you love them from afar. That way you're more likely to be able to keep loving them.

Because this is Wonkette, I assumed "Crypto Erection" was some kind of joke. Ah, but no! This is a real thing in billionaire baby man bro world. As Grampa Jones used to say, " fact is stranger than fiction."

And far more depressing.

I'm genuinely shocked, a rare thing these days. In a sane world, what Walmart and those "bank" sharks have been doing to those drivers would be obviously illegal. And shut down so fast and so hard that no one would try it again for at least ten years.

It's their damn wages, it's not complicated.

Evening spuggers, I am returned home and settled in for the night. On my second beer but planning to have an early night with an improving book as I'm rowing in the morning.

Something about Jeebus driving the money changers out of the temple. There should be a greater and louder howl not to mention a huge rebuke for this. Crass don’t even touch this.

Are Mackenzie Scott’s charitable contributions embarrassing to Musk because he doesn't make charitable contributions? She received billions in a divorce settlement, which is more money anyone actually needs so she had been giving it away to good causes.

Nobody needs my financial advice, but here it is anyway: Don't use Paypal, Venmo, Zelle or any other non-bank money transfer thingie. They have none of the protections of credit cards and checking accounts. Type one wrong number and your money's gone.

Yes your bank wants you to stop using paper checks and physical credit cards. All the more reason to keep doing it.

Ta, Rebecca. Boogie Mama's story is inspiring. Ta, Martini. Cute cubs; do not touch! We're having avocado toast on homemade whole wheat bread and excellent strong coffee. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all and I 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 and catch up on any other vaccines you need (now! while we still can!!), avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from me and anyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because I love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed family and friends like Treg and Tony, Holly's pilot friend, among over seven million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel, particularly ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please stay safe.

Slava Ukraini. 🌻🇺🇦💙💛

My plan to deprive the PAB's administration of a strong holiday shopping season in 2025 is already at work. I'm buying my Christmas gifts a few at a time throughout the year and stashing them away in a closet until they're needed. First shipment of restored silent movies on blu-ray for two of my friends arrived today.

“In my opinion, the trombone is the true head of the family of wind instruments, which I have named the 'epic' one. It possesses nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outburst." -- Hector Berlioz

“Don't look at the trombones it only encourages them.” -- Richard Wagner

"Wake up, people! The power of low brass compels you!" -- Pliny the Younger

“Tall, aren't you?" she said.

"I didn't mean to be."

Her eyes rounded. She was puzzled. She was thinking. I could see, even on that short acquaintance, that thinking was always going to be a bother to her.

-- Raymond Chandler, "The Big Sleep"

Like any parasite, Musk-rat only takes from it's host. Hence, the uncomprehending dislike of people like Mackenzie Scott.

Some wisdom from Mark Summer on current bird flu situation. He’s a former DK contributor. I followed his advice during early COVID days. When I told my mom in Feb 2020 I didn’t know when I’d be back to visit. Sure enough in Ap I was trying to say hi to her thru the assisted living window.

He’s reliable and smart.
