We have little bears in the yard! These two were a couple of the cutest I've ever seen. They scampered up the tree and started yelling for mama who was just inside the tree line. I had gone out on the deck to snap some pictures and startled them and up they went. Both of them looked down on me and heartily complained and whined and stuck their tongue out at me. They eventually came down and from then on they used the cabin yard as their playground. We have a rock that acts like the perfect sliding board and birdfeeders that have been used as soccer balls. I do love it up here.
2016 - the year my grand dog Wrigley was born, and, yes, she was named for the Cubs' home field, because my SIL and his whole family love the Cubs. Coincidence?
"my maybe next senator or maybe next governor Pete Buttigieg" Pete has taken himself out of the running for either senator or governor of Michigan in the 2026 cycle.
Huh. 🧐 So, we had to have a four-year meltdown from the GOP and waste scads of resources on allegations of the EEEVIL media covering up Hunter Biden's fucking computer, but here we have Mike Johnson basically openly saying his party actively censored ads by Democrats, and that's okay I guess for reasons. 🤔
Slotkin, Jesus, I knew she was bad news for seeing her ads during the campaign. Lady, you stumbled backwards into a Senate seat with fewer votes than Kamala Harris, and you’ve been in Congress for 20 minutes, STFU already with all your priceless advice. If Democrats had a majority, Slotkin would totally be our new Sinema.
Sorry, but this is the version of "Who's Gonna Drive You Home..." that you should have linked to. The CBC Ethiopian Famine version. I cry every time I watch it.
Forty years on... and we have learned absolutely fucking nothing!
The Oklahoma story honestly had me more concerned than anything so far.
They are using bounty hunters for this stuff and they probably are getting paid by the head. They have no actual oversight so then they just stole everything at gunpoint. There was literally no reason for them to take cash and electronics. They knew it was the wrong people.
And now they have zero recourse because the FBI and Federal Marshalls are denying any involvement.
That Liberal Currents piece on the non-apologies is spot on and someone should send it Senator Slotkin, maybe wrapped around a rock and thrown through her living room window. She can blow her Rolf whistle and see if the cops come.
Bear-ly awake, but here to tell you about today's hed gif: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/rumble-tumble-baby-bears
And there's a meme chat too: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/a2f528ed-db81-4ed7-9635-0ae46a91b81e
If I could have given birth to bear cubs or meerkat pups, I wd've had children.
Such cuties right there and then they grow up big and scary!
LET'S GO CUBBIES!
Tri-cubs! They are adorable!

Unbearably cute
Did that one widdle guy just run and bonk his widdle bear noggin in that big, bad tree?
Awwwwwwwwwww. Poor widdle guy! Poor poor baby!
The youth of many species
Engage in fun and play
They frolic in the forest
It helps them face the day.
As humans we do likewise
When we are fraught with care
It helps us with our mental health
When things get hard to bear.
You're good at this poetry thing.
When I was teaching I would put a poem up on the white board every Friday based on a current issue. It got to be easier as time passed.
Bears repeating.
Beautiful babies
I am no good with puns, so will just non-comment: those cubbies are so cute and playful, but watch out for their Mama!
MAMMA AIN'T HAPPY AIN'T NOBODY HAPPY!
Very good advice. Mama bears don't fool around, and they're FAST. Just like alligators.
Ursine around.
Puppehs of the forest!
Bear with me!
Looks like the cubs are doing well this season. ;-)
Now there's something you don't hear...ever?
I don't even follow sportsball, but I remember the year that the still-cursed Red Sox and the Cubs could have gotten to the World Series.
2016 - the year my grand dog Wrigley was born, and, yes, she was named for the Cubs' home field, because my SIL and his whole family love the Cubs. Coincidence?
LMAO
Hey Rebecca, this is mine, shameless marketing. I hope it’s more than that. I may be utterly deluded!

i like who mayor pete made it clear that anti DEI is looking for uniformity, inequality and exclusiveness - that is an argument we need to amplify
It would have been great for Democrats to explain DEI months BEFORE the election. BEFORE Fox News turned DEI into a slur.
"How much should we impeach Trump?"
What's the fucking point?
We already DID that.
TWICE.
And just look how damn ineffective it has been at keeping him from completely fucking up our country, and indeed, world.
Yeah, we couldn't get it done with majorities in both chambers of congress. No way in hell, in the minority.

Slotkin is a Sin-Enema wannabe. Nothing more.

The KFOR story was just plain awful. Who were those clowns?
Can't bear the cuteness.
Witmer making nice with Trump, Slotkin voting for Rs. I'm disappointed. We need more and better Democrats/
Whoa! Watch the third cub leap into action!

This should be a much bigger story
They can sue the agents in court. Judges won't take denials for granted.
She doesn’t even know who to sue. Nobody is owning up to it.
Front pages for sure.
