Termite-eating, bat-eared foxes. Life on Earth is so varied and amazing. That or these little guys are the animal kingdom’s version of orange, banana-flavored, marshmallow peanuts.
The San Diego Zoo is truly a national treasure. It is not only a very large Zoo with a unique collection, but a stunning botanical garden. If you're ever in San Diego, drop in. You won't be sorry.
I grew up in Calif, so took a few trips there with the family. I'm sure it's changed a lot in the last (argheblege) years, but I do remember it fondly; particularly the safari ride and the vastness of the space dedicated to their animals.
Nithya Raman has a “background in urban planning.” She’s advocated for changing Los Angeles’ stupid single family housing zoning to allow mid-rise housing around transportation nodes outside of downtown.
Commentary: I thot of this also too. So it must be my idea. But this has and will probably continue to be soundly rejected, so that LA peeps can continue sitting in their cars, waiting for their houses to burn.
Ta, Evan. Ta, Martini. I'm on give-the-cat-her-meds duty, but even more concerned that she eats, drinks, and uses the litter box. I have to eat, too, so I've made flowery green tea and will soon construct a fruit bowl for breakfast. My darling husband Meccalopolis texted me and will call when he has lunch, which is early. 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 (done!) and catch up on any other vaccines you need (and if there are children in your life, make sure they're vaccinated also, too), 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 us and 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 and heroic Tony, Holly's pilot friend, among nearly eight million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel (we adore you, all medicos of Wonkette, active and retired), especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark, RN. Stay safe.
My caregiver tips this week are about Swedish death cleaning. It's a good practice but honestly, it's more for me. Sometimes I need to push myself into doing things. They don't call me last-minute Laura for nothing! Hee hee
It's new governor general day in Canada. The governor general is the representative of the monarch in Canada, who performs the day to day roles of head of state so the monarch doesn't have to fly to Canada every few weeks. Former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Louise Arbour has been chosen.
This morning, I stopped by one of my local Little Free libraries (there are many in my neighborhood) to drop off my copy of Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." I have read it and do not anticipate living long enough to read it again.
At one of the other Little Free libraries, there were chile plant seedlings being given away. I brought home a Scotch Bonnet and a Poblano.
I gave knowledge, and received life in return. It is a good day.
Riiiiight, the self-aggrandized bigot in the stupid fucking hat (nod to Tim Minchin) is hip to the modern music scene. “Greetings fellow children, this Bad Bunny cat sure is the bees knees! Would you like to give up your sexual and reproductive freedom? You just might get into heaven.”
Something's going on with the Catholic Church because, my parish just announced that we're going to have three (3) priests, two of them recently ordained. That's an upgrade from the two we had for decades. Even the Pastor is a Millennial. So, the new priests are mostly likely also the same generation. That doesn't match what I hear other places about the shrinking of the church.
The other day I noticed that in our neighborhood, someone put a piece of tape on a "No Parking at any time" sign. It now reads "No king at any time." I love my little liberal bubble.

Bat-eared fox kids look SO SERIOUS.
THEY ARE WISE TO YOUR SHENANIGANS, PERE UBU!
Lost in the art.
Soooo cute!
The San Diego Zoo is truly a national treasure. It is not only a very large Zoo with a unique collection, but a stunning botanical garden. If you're ever in San Diego, drop in. You won't be sorry.
Decades ago, '70's(?), we were told that the plants at the zoo are worth more than the animals.
In general not a huge fan of zoos. However, San Diego is one of the best.

Cuties just wanna have fun!
Cute widdle fopsies!

Oh. So THAT’S why Rump is so mad. Spencer Bratt isn’t in the running for LA mayor. Also too he doesn’t understand CA election procedures.

I noticed the bike rack I used yesterday, near the hardware store, is now adorned with a FDT sticker.
I'm waiting for the felon to have a massive coronary during one of these interviews. It's way past time.
Apoplexy used to be a thing.
Exactly my thought.
LOL let Joe Biden have had stormed out of an interview. What do you think would be happening to Democrats *everywhere?* But yeah what a mess we're in!
Biden called Peter Doocy a stupid son of a bitch. He was in "hot water" for that one.
#Murc's Law
And he wasn't even wrong!
