Birb has discovered that the reason she had trouble, for a few minutes, getting the needle to go through the cloth, was that the cloth had slipped on its frame. She has pulled the cloth tight, and now it is good.

So I have (stollen) an idea for a new social program, where illegal immigrants pursue sex criminals, we'll call it Aliens vs. Predators.

Just don't call it Requiem.

Can they pursue the one who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

Ah yes bad faith criticism of Biden, that he should have just changed the entire socioeconomic structure unilaterally even if a majority did not want it, like Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation. You know ignoring that Lincoln was in the Civil War and essentially most of his opposition had seceded

He (they) absolutely … despite other successes, ultimately in real terms, 💯 failed to prevent the threat They 2024 campaigned on being willing capable able prevent death knell threat 249 years democratic experiment… they said 47 would be death democracy… then omfg publically laughingly graciously handed the Keys WH/ democracy over to so called Threat only they Would prevent… dependent on a billion more dollars Dems contributions? And to this day… Dems Congress actively POWERFULLY vote support Nazis… for second best betrayal grift purse from donors all ilks

And remember the 13th amendment barely squeaked through the House even without the entire southern delegation.

Jenny Queen of the Vilebloods's avatar

Yeah meanwhile theses types demand Biden via executive order just ban capitalism. Uh huh. I guess the Supremes don't exist, and again it just sounds like authoritarianism but from the left. Who cares about majorities and democratic principles. Just do it.

If they can't rewrite history they can just pretend it doesn't exist.

It's got a great view?

Watching the men's halfpipe board finals. The level of these riders and progression of the sport is just astounding!

My bah-laden neighborhood - now that we're up to like a whopping 25 degrees after the last 3 weeks of frozen hell - has the youngin's running around hooting and hollering, as it should be!

Tired puppy. I've discovered a season of Law & Order Criminal Intent, Canada, that I've started to binge-watch. It pleases me.

:)

tehbaddr's avatar

Wait, Canada has their own versions of that?

I mean, I've gone down a big hill on a runner sled with zero care or concern for my safety or fingers, but never would I ever attempt skeleton.

Skeleton: a luge without the safety equipment.

tehbaddr's avatar

Skeleton, because Luge wasn't bonkers enough.

It’s a shame that there’s no SNL this week. They would have had a field day with Scammy Jo’s performance.

There would have been one hell of a fight backstage among the female cast members and a few of the males as to who gets to be Scammy Jo.

tehbaddr's avatar

Amy Poehler did it last time.

BlueSpot's avatar

They should do it as a running gag throughout the episode, allowing each female cast member, and the guest star, to take turns being Pam Bondi. That would be funny.

eppe's avatar

I thought that when Christopher Walken was guest-hosting once that each cast member should get a chance to do their Walken imitation.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

When obviously the correct answer would have been “bring back Cecily Strong for the cold open.”

Dave M's avatar

Maybe an Amy Poehler cameo.

tehbaddr's avatar

She did Scammy Jo when she hosted.

Nothing like another shitty valentines day to encourage reckless behavior on a motorcycle, baybeeeeee!

Jenny Queen of the Vilebloods's avatar

Eh every day I don't wear a seatbelt and drive 80. I call it the passive death wish

Dave M's avatar

Wouldn’t that be when a seatbelt is not worn by you? … I’ll show myself out.

WTSALTYAF's avatar

Cuz I live there mostly too… don’t U have animals etc that BENEFIT from Ur … non self sabotaged / defeating ACTUAL amazing skills talents caring for animals? Etc? Def get Ur jollies/ thrills … as … legit self determined worthwhile as possible! 💯💗🐾🐾🤩😎🎶🌀🙏

They'd be fine without me. But I'll be fine anyway.

Someday, I may understand the appeal of Meatloaf. But today is still not that day.

BlueSpot's avatar

Teens in the late 70s thought he was so edgy.

Dave M's avatar

Seen elsewhere: “id + djt = idjit,” which seems right, but there’s a lot of ego in there too.

Here's a barred owl I got a photo of a couple days ago. They're out a lot now because it's time to establish territory and mate (as Robyn noted in her post this morning) and we've been through a long cold snap that they're probably not used to, so have had to work extra hard to find food. So we see more of them during the day.

I enjoyed owl week and this past tiny things week. Thank you all for the beauty and gifts of life 💕.

eppe's avatar

If only you were a little smaller you would have been on the menu.

BlueSpot's avatar

Nice photo.

It's got Betty Davis eyes.

Lol.

I saw discussion of a murder of crows earlier today, and coincidentally fell across this tidbit just now.

My favorite is a “Falwell of Fundagelicals.”

I had always heard the phrase. I had a pretty paper old school poster once of birds and their flock names. I was crushed to learn they weren't somehow *historic *.

A crow I'd like to think recognizes me smiling at him/her from the last couple of years has returned. I have a wonderful story for another day.

I still like *murder of crows*.

Reminds me of the time Linus sees Lucy with some grapes 🍇 and he asks her “Did you take my group of grapes?” To which she replies at length (until she has finished them off), explaining that the proper term is “bunch” of grapes. Which is why my xgf and I always wrote “group of grapes” on the shopping list (along with “carrost” — anyone know why?).

eppe's avatar

At least they're not called a Wrath of Grapes>

But it does make for great jokes so I’ll keep saying it.
