We are planning on visiting Indonesia in November. Along with diving their practically pristine seas, we will be seeking the wild cuscus on their magnificent jungle islands.
That wee creature is ALL of the adorables, esteemed Glambassador. Those charming spots help the little cuscus blend in with the foliage and not become a larger animal's lunch.
May this pretty little critter enjoy plenty of satisfying nana snacks in defiance of surly predators.
James Frey is the super asshole who wrote that piece of shit book full of lies about being an alcoholic trying to recover. (A Million Little Pieces) The part I remember most is his claim he was forced to have a root canal without anesthesia because he was AN ALCOHOLIC (capitals his) and anesthesia is FORBIDDEN for an alcoholic a total lie but a dramatic one, right? He probably influenced real alkies to not dry out because of that garbage. Oprah gave him book of the month and then asked him back and said "Why did you lie to me?" He was probably happy about his second appearance. WHAT AN ASSHOLE! (caps mine.)
When Chump decides we need boots on the ground in Iran, I can't wait to hear all the perfectly serious reasons why Barron won't be able to participate.
I just read the piece on the shooting at the Salt Lake City protest. The organizers of the event had armed "security guards"?? What, Hell's Angels weren't available?
"According to the far-right Proud Boys, if Trump enters America “directly” into Israel’s war with Iran, then he will lose their support — and they are ready to encourage others to do the same. The Proud Boys consider themselves “Western chauvinists,” or ultra nationalists who reject women, immigrants, members of the LGBTQ+ community, foreign influence on America and American involvement in issues abroad, including foreign wars." [HuffPost]
"The Utah-based publication — a subsidiary of the Deseret Management Corporation, which is owned by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — accused Lee of casting a 'poor light' on Utah after the senator posted multiple messages on X that seemed to blame Democrats — including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — for the violence."
In other, more Yiddishkeit words, Mike Lee revealed himself to be a shanda für de goyim. That is, he acted as a stereotype, doing exactly what non-Mormons see Mormons as doing.
I always thought Pontiac Fieros looked cool. And I thought about buying one, until I found out that they are cool bodies on top of a Chevette/T-1000 frame and suspension with the four banger thrown in the back sideways. Nope.
I think the LA Dodgers story goes something like this:
1. Singer Nezza defies Dodgers' directive to not sing the national anthem in Spanish. She sings “El Pendón Estrellado,” which was commissioned in 1945 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
2. The Dodgers blow up at her and tell her manager to never call them again
3. The Dodgers announce a sale of the team for $10 billion
4. The Dodgers realize that a very, very, VERY large chunk of their fans are Latino and issue a statement that Nezzo is welcome back any time
5. The Dodgers further realize that alienating the biggest part of their fan base puts a lot of that $10 billion in jeopardy
6. When border agents from where ever show up, the Dodgers realize who butters their bread and tells said agents they cannot come on the grounds
7. The Dodgers - who have always sucked from the moment they landed in LA - still suck and will always suck. I am glad the 2017 trash-canning Astros beat them in the World Series, finishing off those whiney titty-babies in their own ballpark
In summation and in conclusion, fuck the Dodgers, especially Tommy Lasorda who is surely looking up at us from where he is right now
So, we don't really do anything for Juneteenth, but then we don't really do anything for Memorial or Labor Days, either. But DH & I did explain to the kids why he was home (amazingly, The Felon hadn't canceled the federal holiday) and since I'd read a lot of folks eat red foods for the holiday, we had red peppers & onions, and sprinkled sumac on our cheesy pasta. (ours, not the kids, who think spices other than garlic are the very devil)
Trump toot (today): "a special prosecutor must be appointed to investigate the 2020 presidential election, baselessly claiming that former President Joe Biden lost the race "by a 'LANDSLIDE.'"
"The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!"" [HuffPost]
Trump's LACK of "evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING!" chorused the judges who ruled on in 61 of 62 Trump lawsuits over the 2020 election. The judge in case 62, appointed by Trump, was quickly overruled by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
If they find that Biden did indeed lose, does that mean Trump won, in which case he is no longer eligible for the 2024 race? Because if that is the case, by all means fire your yogurt cannons at that poor chicken, guys! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
He's still mad about the piano teacher he clocked when he was fourteen for not admitting Chump was the best piano player he'd ever seen getting him sent to rich kid reform school.
Ever heard of a spotted cuscus? That’s the cute critter in your gif today. Learn more here: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/spotted-cuscus-havin-a-nana

Remember, cuscus, not couscous. Very different
We are planning on visiting Indonesia in November. Along with diving their practically pristine seas, we will be seeking the wild cuscus on their magnificent jungle islands.
People who know me have spotted cuss-cuss quite a bit since that fateful day in 2016.
Is there a Gluten-Free version of Spotted Cuscus? My local market doesn’t carry it.
That wee creature is ALL of the adorables, esteemed Glambassador. Those charming spots help the little cuscus blend in with the foliage and not become a larger animal's lunch.

Isn't that what Michael Jackson had?
Thank you. TIL about the spotted cuscus - a new thing. Always good to learn something new.
I do not recall granting permission to display video of my breakfast routine. To be fair, I was probably stoned at the time.
Cuscus, not cous-cous?
Awww, that still photo, “I’m ready for my close-up, this is my good side.”.
I've heard of some spotty caucuses.
Very cute Martini. Do they cus?
At least twice!
Fitting!
There's just something about cute furry animals munching on snacks...
Ta, Martini. No, I had never heard of a spotted cuscus before this morning. Delightful.
It's a 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘴in' kind of Friday... That critter is setting a good pace to ease into the weekend
SQUEE!!

but aren't bone spurs an inheritable birth defect??
I passed a local anti-ICE protest in my neighborhood carrying on despite pouring rain. Favorite sign "Mayflower Anchor Baby".

These guys are going to have a spectacular meltdown when they see how we react to Chump's death.
A very good op-ed about Mike Lee in the Salt Lake Tribune today. https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2025/06/20/voices-mike-lee-gave-me-an
Another laughingstock thing in that James Frey article picture is the Pontiac Fiero behind him...truly an automotive crime on the Aztek level....
I always thought Pontiac Fieros looked cool. And I thought about buying one, until I found out that they are cool bodies on top of a Chevette/T-1000 frame and suspension with the four banger thrown in the back sideways. Nope.
The infamous Iron Duke 4-cylinder, that weighed as much as an anvil and put out the approximate horsepower of one, too
"A 400 percent increase in assaults on (masked) ICE goons? "
If you count people touching them trying to keep from falling down when THEY are assaulted by masked ICE men, than sure....
Percentage increases come from a very special place in the Republican Party, their asses.

I have Ry Cooder's "Third Base -- Dodger Stadium" running through my head right now.
So, we don't really do anything for Juneteenth, but then we don't really do anything for Memorial or Labor Days, either.

(ours, not the kids, who think spices other than garlic are the very devil)
My firm belief is that kids who are open to loving garlic will develop fabulous interesting palates, in their own good time.
I wouldn’t be surprised either way, lol.
I want the Apricot Autocrat to GO AWAY. I don't care where, just that he never bothers anyone who didn't volunteer to be near him ever again
Distract, Deny, Deflect . . .

You know why he's so pissed about losing to Biden? It's because his two election victories were against girls, so they don't really count.
If they find that Biden did indeed lose, does that mean Trump won, in which case he is no longer eligible for the 2024 race? Because if that is the case, by all means fire your yogurt cannons at that poor chicken, guys! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
About this waste, fraud and abuse stuff …
Translation: He's mad about Jack Smith.
He’s still fucking mad about Mueller
He's still mad about the piano teacher he clocked when he was fourteen for not admitting Chump was the best piano player he'd ever seen getting him sent to rich kid reform school.
Special Personal Message To Donald J. Trump:
Get bent.
Is Amy Coney Barrett the J. K. Rowling of the Supreme Court? Discuss/Debate.
She was grasping at straws here for sure....
Nah, Barrett's never had broad public approval like Rowling once did.
