I know the day is almost over, but I'm finally catching up on the morning tabs. I brought you a young tapir with the baby stripes still on it. His name is Biscoito, and he's being rehabbed for release at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil of Global Sanctuary for Elephants. They do wildlife rehab for the native wildlife when they can while rescuing and providing Sanctuary to South America's captive elephants. I just figured I should explain where the video comes from, they are a great place, I donate when I can. And YES.......baby tapirs are PERFECTLY PRECIOUS!!
Also too: You gotta do that tapir shit with prednisone and similar steroids. I was intubated in an ICU for five days for respiratory failure because I just stopped a tapir. This happened after I commuted from Phoenix to a job site in Lancaster CA and forgot to bring my prednisone with me. I figured I was going to be okay...until I was gasping on my phone to 911 back in 1993.

I wish I could believe that, given the rate Trump throws people under the bus, he'd eventually run out of volunteers, but I'm afraid P.T. Barnum's famous quote is just as applicable to the sort of person Trump likes, too.

This just goes to show how overwhelmingly strong the cuteness of a baby animal is. In my warped opinion, the adult tapir is the ugliest of the mammals. But the babies are charming.
I have to post this here--I know there are a few of you who enjoy a huge take down, and this is a murder case where the court overturned a conviction, and they can't prosecute again, because the ADA decided his whole case would center around the defendant being a witch.
Tonight we're going to someplace we've never been before for our restaurant week special--it's a fancy pan-Asian place and they have 3 different tasting menus available. I'm pretty excited and keep reading over the menus. One has meat, one has no meat but has fish, and one's vegan. I'm kind of leaning towards the seafood one, but they all sound good. Vegan one sounds interesting too--sometimes that's where the chef really shines with creativity, and though I'm not vegan, that could be good.
Yesterday we went and saw "The Brutalist"--it didn't seem all that long to me. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but it was good. It was kind of like "The Master", which I loved--charismatic mid-century guy.

I heard a thing this morning saying SCOTUS wasn't going to hear the appeal of the Dellinger TRO, and I thought, GOOD. But then I read the order, which holds the petition in abeyance until after the TRO expires. Sotomeyor and Jackson would have denied the application. Gorsuch and Alito wrote a dissent that says they should have taken the case because a bunch of shit. I didn't read it closely but language about infringing on executive was disturbing. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a790_6i79.pdf
Seriously, why are we not building a guillotine on the National Mall? Hell, throw a gallows up next to it! I’m done with nice words about how awful this is. We the People need to be rising up and throwing punches. Fuck these Nazi bastards.
At the bottom of the lovely article about The Cockatoo Kerfuffle in The Senile Old Lady, I spied this and was quickly reminded what shit that place has become.
"For These 20-Somethings, Trump ‘Is Making It Sexy’ to Be Republican"
I found myself on the side of the non parrot owner, having suffered 1 1/2 years of the Bickersons and their Hounds of the Baskervilles, until they finally moved out. Complaints went unaddressed and they weren't just from me. They were also from the closest buildings - yes, other buildings. The dogs howled from the time their people left, until they came home be it 1/2 hour or 14 hours (the longest). The woman of the couple once even claimed to my grocery shopper that her dogs did NOT howl because she had them on medication.
This was after my shopper had been standing in my hallway talking to me and listening to the howls until the people happened to come home and she made a comment about the dogs.
It was hell, and if I had been younger and in better shape, I would have broken my lease and moved because of them.
I don't know what else was going on with these to women, but that did bring back BAAAD memories.
We (ok, it might have just been TehBadder and I) were talkin' tapir last week, so this one is timely, no? Uma (your image header critter) is such a cutie pie. Find out more here: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/lil-tapir-uma-says-hello-world?r=angu9

That's a tapir in the watermelon stage! Excellent.

Awwwwww!
Cuter than a tapir's wiggly snoot!
Well; it appears the Monday morning tabs have tapir-ed off.
Daaad!
Tapir, tap there, tap anywhere but on the proboscis!
"Tapir" sounds like an archaic esoteric woodworking tool or something.
Or what you should do with the psychedelics... tapir off.
(Just kiddin' Hammy, but couldn't let it go to waste.)
Also too: You gotta do that tapir shit with prednisone and similar steroids. I was intubated in an ICU for five days for respiratory failure because I just stopped a tapir. This happened after I commuted from Phoenix to a job site in Lancaster CA and forgot to bring my prednisone with me.

DAMN, HAMMY!
I only took it because poison ivy, and I just knew cutting it off could damage your adrenal glands.
Adorable painted babby!
That furry wins the internet!
Looks like tapers are porcine cousins. Kissin' cousins at least.
I think they are odd-toed, not even, so convergent evolution.
Nobody can hold a candle to that tapir.
Enter Lady Macbeth, carrying a light tapir.
Groan...
Tapirs are odd-toed ungulates
Their feet are out of whack
With four toes on the front feet
And three toes on the back
Is it that big a deal? Mice have four toes on their front feet and five on the back ones. (A fact I learned writing fanfiction.)
Mice for the odd-toe win!
It's twu, it's twu!
That's enough Wienerschnitzles for you...
I might pull your leg a bit, from time to time, but not today.
I'd boop that snoot, but it seems too agile!
Watching baby animals learn to operate a trunk is one of life's purer joys.
Tapir? Tapir yourself, she's your large herbivorous mammal!
That was always my favorite Carole King album: 'Tapirstry.'
Oh look, it's Mr. Cary Grant. Hello, Mr. Grant! What's that? Two words, you say?
Kids these days, trying to be all cool and different with their spots!

Forgive me for adding an extra "e" to your nym. My memory banks can only hold so much info and that one I misremembered.
sOK Wonkers do that all the time.
The little fellow isn't tapir-ing off, either.
Home tapirs are killing music!
Where you moor a vessel.
I got it!
Buoy oh buoy, I don't get your drift, may need moor coffee.
Coffee?
I am trying to tapir off.
Don't tapir too much. My husband calls coffee the elixir of consciousness, and consciousness is a useful thing from time to time.

*blink* A, a witch?? Even in the immediate aftermath of the Salem Witch Trials, people were starting to think that was dumb.

You have to keep your distance from tapirs because they will projectile piss at you. That's their primary defensive weapon.
Sounds like dealing with an elected Republican official at a townhall.

i was a tad too old for this one but do remember The Sultans of Ping
Havent read yet but being from Manchester, UK the headline is a phrase I have often used in my 59 yrs of life.

Sexy is as sexy does. They could never be sexy to me, even when I was much younger and less picky.
Fascism is never sexy, though teh SS did have some great outfits!
