Years ago (like 20 or 30) the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, MA, had a Polar Bear, Major. He was the big attraction there, had his own small enclosure with a pool. After several years, the zoo brought in a female (I don’t remember her name) to keep him company.
This is a thing I did not know! That they are captivating creatures in the midst of an existential ("threatened" status!) plight inflicted on them by us, I know all too well.
Here in CHEESELAND a FEDERAL MIGRATORY STAMP is required to hunt AMERICAN WOODCOCK. Those POLAR BEARS would be happy the next day or so. Temps down to -20F predicted.
And the annual miracle here in Mexico City. 10 million religious pilgrims here for the Virgin of Guadalupe day and the city is functioning normally... with the assistance of something like 5000 extra security people, 1500 paramedics and a couple thousand various municipal and federal employees.
This whole roundup reads like the Republic briefly remembered how to breathe, then immediately went back to stress-smoking a copy of Politico. Triple No Bill for Tish James. Republicans accidentally doing democracy. UNESCO out here trying to save vibes while Congress can’t save a pulse.
Also appreciate the tonal whiplash from “judges are furious” to “Italian Monster Garden” to “children imprisoned by ICE but make it educational.” If satire didn’t exist, this would be a cry for help.
It looks like we'll soon have a Liberal majority government here in the wilds of Canada. Conservatives have been defecting to the Liberals at an increasing rate, and there is talk of more to come. Maybe even a few NDPers as well. I really hope this makes the Conservatives take a serious look at themselves and cease their slide into MAGA style extremism.
I still can’t get over living in a timeline where Bill Kristol, one of the primary cheerleaders for the Iraqi debacle is now “woke.”
Of course he’s finally right about something. The regime is not killing these people because they have. They’re killing them because it satisfies their lust for cruelty.
“Experts theorized "Canto" was an example of the disconnect between media elites and consumers, and that scandal-filled headlines preceding its release exhausted the public interest before the book even hit the shelves.”
Yeah because nobody wants to read about all the intimate details about scandals.
That’s like saying people didn’t go to a movie because there was a bunch of trailers for it.
Next time you think your weekend is going to be no fun, imagine spending it sorting through 95,000 photographs from the Epstein estate.
edit: Garcia: "Just last night we received about 95,000 photographs from the Epstein estate. We've gone through maybe about 25,000 of them so far ... we will continue to put out more photos in the days and weeks ahead."
So I saw this headline that I THOUGHT said Karoline debuts new book, and thought, damn, they'll let anyone write a book. But the word was actually "look." Supposedly social media blew up during yesterday's briefing over makeup, hairdo, earrings. Pretty vapid story, not worth a link. I'm just glad she didn't write a book.
So if you want to commit crimes like rape, sexual assault, and sex trafficking, make sure you are besties with Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump and his family and minions, m'kay?

Aw, Major! He was a lovely fellow indeed. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/190768060/major-polar_bear
Is that...is that a woman's shoe?
WHERE IS THE WOMAN?
Listening to the beats in her head. Go Polar Bear!
A large bear with hesitation
About a watery plunge
Decides to do a belly flop
To get perchance some lunch.
She finds the water welcoming
And grabs a tasty treat
While calmly treading water
With oversized bear feet.
nice!
I know they are deadly predators but gotdamn that bear is adorbs!
Yeah, I'm down with the meme chat.
If iz bear why iz make cat "about to jump" head bobs?
Polar bears are...classified as marine mammals...

We show a video of them in ocean hall at NMNH
A polar bear who's into pink.
Here's a cute pink bear born on Java:

Big White Tundra Doggo!
A bear and her salmons
Taking the plunge!
10 out of 10 for Laerke's dive!
Swim and bear it!
So Barron's into Andrew Tate.
Someone referred to the Chump boys as the ugly one, the stupid one, and Lurch.
And the annual miracle here in Mexico City. 10 million religious pilgrims here for the Virgin of Guadalupe day and the city is functioning normally... with the assistance of something like 5000 extra security people, 1500 paramedics and a couple thousand various municipal and federal employees.
ICE would really have its hands full there.

Bleach. Just read the article about the Tate brothers and Barron. Everyone around them or defending them is slime. I need a shower.

The Polar Bear lives
in a freezing snowstorm
where her fat and fur
keep her nice and warm

That bandage on his hand looks like an IV line band aid to me. Are they pumping him full of plasma or something?
Probably some infusion thing designed to keep him breathing, although I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if Trump's hand band-aids covered a Tren de Aragua tattoo?
Look for Chump Band-Aids™ at the low, low price of $19.95 for a pack of three on every MAGA hand real soon.
I can personally attest that not summarily executing the crews of drug smuggling vessels was the policy of the US dating back to at least the 70s.
So I saw this headline that I THOUGHT said Karoline debuts new book, and thought, damn, they'll let anyone write a book. But the word was actually "look."

I want to hear less "Is he dying?" and more "what are you bringing to the celebration?"
