My Viggo figured out that if he bounced the food cabinet door he could get it open and pull the food out. I had to put heavy velcro on it to keep him from doing that.
There is a weird dichotomy where people want to vote for conservative reps but don't really like conservative policies. That could be awkward with their constituents.
Republicans convincing a large bloc of the American public that their party is the one most suitably identified with classically American virtues (hard work, self-reliance, piety, etc.), when their policies and the characters of their politicians are the opposite, has been one of the most successful branding operations of the 20th century.
The anti vaccine craze has reached pet owners. I saw two different posts yesterday blaming them from the deaths of two beloved animals. I reported both to the admins of that page. I suspect bots.
I like my dog better without distemper and rabies, thanks.
I'm inclined to believe that depsite the fact that both are frothing at the mouth those suffering fullborne rabies remain more coherent than the depraved deplorables.
I just ordered a cup and a bowl from Saint Javelin. I wanted the burning Kremlin jigsaw puzzle but figured it might get me in trouble (we always have a jigsaw puzzle going in the break room at work).
I'm reminded of another missing-the-point NYT article of some years ago that sought to uncover the reasons for climate change denial without ONCE mentioning the role of the petrol companies or their decades of deliberate disinformation campaigns.
Even when she makes a reasonable point, she cloaks in such drivel that implies men have no responsibility to change - all of society must change around them instead.
"Letting go of the male breadwinner norm is not an instant fix for our culture, but we can’t move forward without that step. After all, “breadwinner” is not only a limiting identity; it’s also a relative one. If we don’t release men from the expectation, any plan to help them regain lost ground will have to also ensure that women never catch up."
I'm sure when the name of my next Doordash driver shows up it will be "Lysdexia." And later, a huge sumo wrestler guy (or maybe a gal) will show up with my steak and eggs.
WKRP Thanksgiving turkey giveaway.
Thanks, Hooper, for providing some blessed relief from the rerun columns.
This was a rerun. :)
It was welcome anyway.
Time to go. Everyone have a good day. I'll know if it died because of the horns blowing and people dancing in the streets.
Cat the Ripper has sussed out how to open the drawers in the bathroom vanity and remove their contents onto the counter and bathroom floor.
Until he learns how to put stuff BACK the bathroom door must remain closed.

That is what their constituents want but voting for the conservative is more important to them than having government polices that help them

Are there any though? Don’t they all shamelessly bend the knee to their orange Hitler?
Yes, but it's Johnson they are bucking.
Yeah, I'm wondering now about the validity of this story....
Karma is such a bitch, and I love it!
whop, whop whop, whop whop: Manchin-style
Heeeeeeey sexy Mikey!

Rabid dogs roaming the streets of America would certainly warm Putin's heart, plus, it would keep migrants away! Make America "Third World" Again!
...too damned entirely accurate.

A woman I know blamed the death f her father's dog on vaccinations ten years ago! Couldn't have been old age, she was only 14 years old!
I prefer dogs to be foaming at the mouth because they just ate a puppachino than because they have rabies.

Make Old Yeller great again.
Probably not vaccinated for religious reasons.
I like everybody's dog better without distemper and rabies TYVM.
My cat is an indoor only cat and I STILL vaccinate him because you never know what could happen and I would rather he be safe.
We do rabies and distemper. Cat could get out. Something could come in. Why risk it?
I never vaccinated my indoor cat. My vet said, "what if you get a bat in the house?"
Me: I burn it down.
I do rabies, because it's the right thing to do. My vet would probably refuse to treat without it, I imagine.
I know that you can't get your dog groomed without proof of vaccination for rabies.
😳
I feel the same way about snakes.
I miss the days when The Science Post was active.

The LAST thing any neighborhood needs right now are a couple of former house pets gone rabid.
Isn't a rabid dictator preparing to complete the destruction of the American state enough?
If right wingers started getting rabies, how would we know? Aside from the dead part, I mean.
I'm inclined to believe that depsite the fact that both are frothing at the mouth those suffering fullborne rabies remain more coherent than the depraved deplorables.
Young men are turning to fascism because women refuse to stay in the kitchen barefoot and make them a sandwich.
NYT
I told them to learn to dance, but they only learned the Trump circle-jerk.
They're all mad at their mamas for working.
STAY MAD!
I tried to switch away from ordering food delivered by attempting to switch to cigars.
No only have I smoked my third this morning, I ordered bfast anyway. Witness the disappointment:

And fuck Van Jones also too before I forget about it.
Did Donald Trump become presidential again?
no
Also, your shoes are untied again.
Van was pretty sure Trump would pivot away from teh stupid, but it never did happen.

That's what they want you to believe not.
I got a Covid vaccine in October and died straight away!
I'm happy to see that you got better.
Toots was turned into a newt once as well.
That also got better.
They can be turned around provided the Gingrichitis doesn't set in.
That is a fate worse than death.

I just ordered a cup and a bowl from Saint Javelin. I wanted the burning Kremlin jigsaw puzzle but figured it might get me in trouble (we always have a jigsaw puzzle going in the break room at work).
And there it is. The NYT blames successful women refusing to date losers for them turning into right wing incels.

Fifty years and nothing has changed.
I'm reminded of another missing-the-point NYT article of some years ago that sought to uncover the reasons for climate change denial without ONCE mentioning the role of the petrol companies or their decades of deliberate disinformation campaigns.
Here’s a gift link to the article.

Love you but I ain't reading that. Tired of the victim blaming and rationalizations.
That's a lot of power to give to women and I'm here for it. Men are weak creatures.
They voted for a rapist. That says all you need to know about them.
Not that I can understand men voting for a rapist, but I am completely bewildered by women voting for a known rapist.
There's a LONG history of women not supporting each other unfortunately.
I thought a large part of the manosphere ethos was rejecting being with women entirely because we’re all whores?
It’s also gay for men to have sex with women.
Even when she makes a reasonable point, she cloaks in such drivel that implies men have no responsibility to change - all of society must change around them instead.

These pitious pricks have been blaming women for all of THEIR failures ever since the Garden of Eden.
EXACTLY!
DOUBLEFUCK NYT.
Fuck them and their noise.

Fucking dylsexia.
I have a tendency so I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out!
Good! I didn't want to be the only one who noticed it.
Eh, don't blame a typo on lysdexia!
I'm sure when the name of my next Doordash driver shows up it will be "Lysdexia." And later, a huge sumo wrestler guy (or maybe a gal) will show up with my steak and eggs.
So long as I get my bfast.
I wrote a new piece since my last piece went and got me disowned from my family. https://substack.com/@bluepnwcats/note/p-152336676?r=gc3ns
Congratulations. It's unfortunate that it was necessary, but sometimes shit happens and you have to make the best of it.
It seems that Mr. Hegseth is a man that only a mother could love, but just embarrassed and barely ...and only on payday.
The Thanksgiving turkey at mom's must have been stuffed with angst.
If he were one of my offspring I would publicly disown him.
If yours, he might have turned out better.
