Hopefully, this is a signal of a return to normalcy here at Glibs. I know some of you get angry when Wapner does come around on schedule. All of the bad stuff has been chastised by SP and slunk off to die, so we won’t have to worry about that any more. It could be worse. I got to my hotel Tuesday and their registration system was down (much credit to the three young people behind the desk who were writing down names on a piece of paper and keying cards based on the housekeeping cleanout report. They got everyone in a room.) and then they directed me to a set of elevators run off of a touchscreen on the outside. That was not something that made me hugely comfortable. So its not just us here at Glibs. But you don’t care about that, you want links!

Don’t you dare throw shade on Lizzo! She’s Minnesoda’s very own treasure!
*I guess. I still have no idea who she is, but I always see gushing headlines about her in the local rag. And from what I can tell from the pictures, it is going to be very hard to throw shade on her because even if you find something big enough to shade her, her own mass will bend light around that object.
Skip the local rag and you won’t have the problem. Or if you had gone to the same school as I you wouldn’t have to worry about reading…
The article in Teen Vogue touting her as a fashion icon was the killer for me. I had never heard of her…. and, damn. Just… damn. “As seen in Walmart” comes to mind. Not her physique – her fashion choices.
I definitely get the feeling that there is some “no way am I going to be accused of body shaming” going on with that article and her coverage in general. Praising someone for wearing ill-fitting clothes that would be ugly and mismatched even if they did happen to fit is not “woke”. It is cowardly.
Right? Lizzo needs to gain a few pounds to be as hot as Demi Rose.

VCDL, who is organizing the 2nd A rally, sent out the below message. They’re trying to keep the focus to 2nd A as best as possible. Also received a separate alert that Gov. Blackface may be planning to declare a State of Emergency on rally day (we call it Lobby Day). Presumably this will be to used to (illegally) ban firearms throughout Richmond and call out the National Guard against VCDL members. VCDL has already their attorneys engaged and prepared if this does happen.

No, but when he left he didn’t walk he moseyed.
State of Emergency already declared by Governor Big Pussy.
Annnndddd….just like last time *silence* from civil libertarians. The most thoroughly discredited group of the Trump era.
“The ACLU-VA believes that the governor, Capitol Police, and Virginia State Police are well within their existing statutory and constitutional authority to prohibit people participating in demonstrations on state property, including Capitol Square grounds, from carrying weapons,” Executive Director Claire Gastañaga said.
No, not silence. The ACLU is vocally supporting the ban.
The ACLU’s mask has been pulled off for quite a while now.
WE are the actual civil libertarians, Tulse. ACLU still be wearing Roger Baldwin as a skinsuit, but it ain’t working.
Damn. I think we’re going to see the State of Emergency powers expanded. I was under the impression they had already banned firearms in the Capitol Building using a separate executive order.

Keep your filthy lucre out of our noble politics
Behind the scenes, a younger generation of heirs has begun commandeering their family foundations and convincing their socially minded, but largely nonpartisan, elders to stop spending all their money on charitable institutions that don’t actually address structural issues in society. They’re trying to shift millions that have long gone to alma maters and senior centers toward electoral combat.
Every industry has been deeply politicized in the age of Trump, and the family charity is no different.
It’s all a new movement for the left, which for all its wealth has historically struggled to lavish the same billions on political advocacy groups that it has on libraries, universities, and museums. Gifts to those traditional charities are increasingly criticized as ineffective. Meanwhile, in the decade since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision opened the floodgates to new political spending, conservative advocacy groups have vastly outspent liberal groups by some $400 million that has helped elect Republicans up and down the ballot. This has left some Democratic operatives feeling they need to better organize the billionaires in their ranks behind political nonprofits.
——-
If the kids win, liberals think they could usher millions of dollars into progressive politics that are currently trapped on the philanthropic sidelines.
“That’s what every political fundraiser’s dream always is,” said Alexandra Acker-Lyons, an adviser to many younger Silicon Valley political donors.
More and more charities — from the Southern Poverty Law Center to the NAACP — have started their own political arms upon realizing after Trump’s election that they were ill-equipped to execute their social justice missions without exerting political influence.
Every industry has been deeply politicized in the age of Trump, and the family charity is no different.
No kidding? How did that happen? Where did it come from, this inescapable politicization?
Articles like this truly fill me with dread and despair.

The Desperate Smearing Of Virginia Gun Owners
Moms Demand Action, for example, issued a “fact sheet” that’s short on actual facts but long on attacks on those attending the Lobby Day activities. In it, the gun control groups claims that gun owners are hoping to intimidate lawmakers when in fact we’re just hoping they’ll listen to what we have to say.
The group also refuses to call Second Amendment Sanctuaries by their name, referring to them instead as “Lawless Counties.”
“”Lawless County resolutions hold no legal weight, undermine law enforcement, and create a dangerous environment for people who may hurt themselves or others: Policy experts, state attorneys general, and law enforcement alike agree: Lawless County resolutions, or as gun extremists call them, ‘Second Amendment Sanctuary’ resolutions, which threaten that officials will disregard their duty to enforce duly enacted and constitutional laws, have no legal force. The resolutions also threaten the safety of communities nationwide by fostering distrust in law enforcement and may deter people from reporting individuals that may hurt themselves or others.””
The attempt to enforce constitutionally dubious gun laws will create a dangerous environment. And way to sick to context and tone down the rhetoric.
Moms Demand Action then tries to claim that the streets of Richmond are going to be filled with angry white supremacists hoping to spark a civil war.
“”In the wake of Charlottesville, where “a day of volatile street-fighting ended with a white supremacist plowing a car into a crowd of counter-protesters,” Virginia officials, legal experts, civil rights leaders, and leading editorial boards are worried that January 20th will turn into another violent, hate-fueled disaster. According to Alex Friedfeld, a researcher at the Anti-Defamation League, “White supremacist ‘accelerationists’ have seized on the standoff [over gun safety laws in Virginia] as the potential beginning of a civil war that will destroy the United States and allow them to build a white nation in its ruins.” Governor Northam has already held multiple meetings to prepare for legions of heavily armed, out-of-state protestors descending on the Capitol. As Mary McCord, the legal director of Georgetown Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, put it – these resolutions have “spurred extremists who want to stand up local militias to engage in armed rebellion against the state — action that isn’t just dangerous but that also runs counter to the Constitution.”””
You crazy gun-fetishists are all just violent, extremist, white-supremacists. Especially that Noir fellow.

but seriously, SCOTUS could put a stop to this bullshit in a second. but they won’t.

All laws are subject to selective enforcement. They knew that going in.
On one hand, I appreciate not getting pulled over and ticketed every time I’m going over the speed limit.
On the other hand, I think the only way to start rolling these laws back is to strictly enforce all the rules, and piss the people off.
The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.
-Abraham Lincoln
“officials will disregard their duty to enforce duly enacted and constitutional laws,”
Now see, that is exactly the opposite of what they are doing.
Another little skirmish in the giving wars:
Ila Duncan is the sixth generation of the Lumpkin family, which founded what would become one of the country’s largest telephone companies in the 20th century. Before 2016, her family and its foundation would fund things like local museums, nature centers, or musical instruments for a rural school.
But when Trump was elected in 2016, Duncan felt shaken and knew she had to do more. She began directing about $30,000 a year of her own money to community-organizing work.
The problem? Her father voted for Trump.
He would decline to fund her friends’ social justice proposals, seeing the work as just “identity politics.” Or maybe he’d “lowball” her and give token amounts, she said.
“I was just incredibly upset. Conversations that we had got heated. I took them very personally. They didn’t end very well most of the time,” she said. “At first, it was really crushing.”
Now, the father and daughter basically separate their giving entirely. That’s the risk for these new, younger donors who want to change the world by changing their families.
“Wait, what? You want me to take money out of my allowance to fund my pet social activist groups? That’s not fair.”
Did she feel “shaken” by Trump’s win or “literally shaken”?
What a shock. I bet richie revolutionary would be happy to throw dear old dad in a camp to rehabilitate his thinking.
It appears she went to Wellesley.
A grave error on the part of dad to allow that to happen.
I don’t remember asking anyone to “change the world”.

The sheer hatred exhibited by some of these people toward His Royal Orangeness is simply awe inspiring. What has he done to merit such vitriol?
It was HER turn.
exactly so.
And there is also “the fish rots from the head down”.
Remember, that was the year that the DNC rigged their own primary to prevent Bernie from getting the nod. The media participated in more than their usual “biased coverage” ways too…. in how they moderated the debates.
But when Hillary lost and refused to come out and concede…. the battle lines were draw. They have not actually conceded an election since Reagan-Carter. Every single time they come out with cries of voter suppression and racism. But it is the post 2000 era that has cemented it. They tried desperately to rig the Florida election and then the recounts… yet failed. And proceeded to throw a temper tantrum of epic proportions.
By the time the bizarrely worshipful Obama years were done, they were primed with the expectation that they could not lose. After all, Obama had won with a terrible economy after his first term… following a blistering defeat to Romney in the first debate, Romney appearing to abandon the field. With Obama using the IRS, CIA, FBI, DOJ, NSA and State Department (at a minimum) against their political enemies, they were right to assume that they would win. It was all but sealed.. with a 90-10 ratio of negative to positive coverage of Trump, the media was doing their part. All that was left was for the coronation. And then they lost to a buffoon who spent half as much on the campaign.
Within hours of the defeat, her people were already talking impeachment. You won’t convince me that some of this talk wasn’t directly related to the knowledge of the Clinton team of the “plan B” for dealing with Trump.
So that explains the rage. They lost a fixed fight to a cartoon character. It wasn’t just hard to accept. It was literally unbelievable.
Their long march to communism….they were soooooo close. They were so sure Obumbles had it t’d up and Hillary was gonna hit it out of the park.
Strike. Out.
I realize this but it’s unfathomable to hold such hatred in one’s heart unless someone had done something grievously evil that affected me personally. I’m like Nancy, I don’t “Hate, hate” anybody. /s
History, it will be bleak. And their families, their children, their grandchildren—everyone who has their last name—will carry that around with them, if they decide to continue lying for a failed reality TV host who will show them no loyalty.

PSA: Back up your data, use strong passwords, and don’t use generic accounts.
Our company got hit by some ransomware overnight because we failed at two of those items. On top of that our MSP dropped the ball on the brute force attacks on the domain admin account. Fortunately we have several layers of backups that appear unaffected and the damage was pretty small relative to what could have happened.
By generic accounts, you mean “admin@domainname.com” or equivalent usernames for non-email accounts?
Yes. Better to make your admin user name oiH(as08J()&9du than admin.
You mean something like “correcthorsebatterystaple”, because nobody’s going to remember those strings.
No, that is a terrible secret string. It is full of dictionary words. Don’t get your information theory from cartoonists. Get it from me, an anonymous stranger on the internet.
Obviously you want nobody to be able to contact you as the admin.
Snarky answer: Yeah
Honest answer: Yeah, not directly.
you should have different communication channels for personal and then for different admin duties, none of which have permissions greater than what is needed for those responsibilities.

There are protocols around this. *THE* holy admin account is never used and its password closely guarded. Everything is delegated to . the org_admin login, which is rarely used. Daily admin is done through delegated authority to various admin logins such as tonio_admin.
This is annoying af to those of use just used to root privilege, but you get used to it.
I always dislike shared accounts. If for no other reason then logging doesn’t tell you who put in that change that broke something else.
If you can tell who logged in to a shared account your security sucks. Our IT security team runs those down routinely.
As in, you have to log in to any computer using your credentials. If you then log in to a shared account, your initial login tells who logged in to the shared account.
Oh, should be “if you can’t tell who logged into a shared account, etc.

Epstein didn’t kill himself.
“The blood settles after we die. The so-called lividity, if your hanging, the lividity is on the lower part on the legs,” he said. “These would be like maroon/purple, front and back and they aren’t.”
The pathologist went on to reiterate that the manner in which officials ruled Epstein’s cause of death was “very unusual.”
“The initial death certificate was issued at the time of the autopsy, it’s pending further study, getting more information,” he said. “Five days later it was changed to hanging suicide and one of the things the family wishes to know, the estate wishes to know is, what was that additional information that caused them to change it when five months later and the family still doesn’t know what happened to in the first encounter and what happened to him when he was found dead.”
This is not the first time that Dr. Baden has raised doubts about how Epstein’s death was ruled, having recently told CBS This Morning that his injuries “are more indicative of a homicidal strangulation than a suicidal strangulation.”
“What stood out to me the most was that the ligature mark was made after a few hours,” Dr. Baden said. “He had been dead for a few hours at the time he was discovered. And that there were multiple fractures of the Adam’s apple, the thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone that are more indicative of a homicidal strangulation than a suicidal strangulation.
So he wasn’t a maroon?

Remember when the corporate press started with the Fake News shit, and then freaked out because Trump called CNN Fake News, and now they are back to it?
I assume this is the 2004 Dan Rather story.
That one gets a pass, because even though the story was a part of a collusion between all of the broadcast networks and the Kerry campaign and the story was fabricated by Rather’s team, it had the power of “truthiness”. So, even though their story was a lie, it was a lie that revealed the deeper truth.

New Orleans police on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on a complaint of simple battery.
Video surfaced this week showing Beckham slapping the buttocks of a Superdome security guard in the LSU locker room after the Tigers’ national championship victory over Clemson on Monday in New Orleans.
The New Orleans Police Department public affairs office confirmed that the security guard filed the complaint.
Louisiana statute defines simple battery as battery committed without the consent of the victim. Punishment in Louisiana can include a fine of no more than $1,000 and imprisonment for no more than six months, or both.
“We are aware of the incident and have been in touch with Odell and his representatives on the matter,” the Browns said in a statement issued Thursday. “They are cooperating with the proper authorities to appropriately address the situation.”
Was the security guard male or female?
That’s called “cashing in”
Watch the video. It was a dude, but it wasn’t a chummy, celebratory “sports-tap-on-the-butt”. This seems pretty reasonable given what is shown on the video.
So, he’s just an idiot? Checks out.
Mad that he didn’t get any of That cash Odell was handing out?
Doesn’t matter. It was “bad touching” by a multi-millionaire (signs and wonders) Some cunte is looking to retire early.
looked male. and wtf was he doing harassing that lineman?
It looks like he was very concerned about the contents of that portly gentleman’s beverage, but can’t tell for sure.
That struck me, too.
Apparently they were there enforcing the Superdome’s no smoking policy and some of the players were smoking cigars. If they were selling loosies it could have been far worse.
That’s management’s fault for sending them in there to enforce it.
I would totes take a celebratory tap on the butt from those guys. Jus’ Sayin.
You gotta be a pussy to file that complaint.

Drunk or senile? You decide!
This is a very important day for us and as you know I reference temporal markers that our Founders and our poets and others have used over time to place us in time, to emphasize the importance of time, because everything is about time, how we use it, how we mik-, how we mark it and today is an important day because today is the day that we name the managers, we go to the floor to pass the resolution to transmit the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate and later in the day, when we have our engrossment, that we march those Articles of Impeachment to the United States Senate. As I’ve said, it’s always been, Our Founders when they started “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary” when, Abraham Lincoln “four score and seven years ago,” Thomas Paine, now are the times, “These are the times that try men’s souls, the times have found us.” Again and again, even our poets, Longfellow, remember, “Listen, my children and you will hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, on the 18th of April of ’75, hardly a man is now alive that remembers that famous day and year.” It’s always about marking history using time. On December 18th, the House of Representatives impeached the president of the United States, an impeachment that will last forever.
Why not both?
Trick question! Drunk, senile, and over-prescribed.

Hi Brett!
Thanks for helping us get back to normal. Weird not having y’all around.
Almost as weird as getting on an elevator with a suspect control system. Take the damn stairs, man!
I feel sorry for Lizzo. She knows that she is fucking unhealthy but she is surrounded by idiots who encourage her to kill herself. Pathetic.
Watch her live to be 88 years old for no good reason.
Watch her live to be 88 years old for no good reason.
Like my FIL. D00d was the most unhealthy, super-overweight person I’d ever met, and lived to be 80, dying in his sleep. There ain’t no justice.
My parents took a turn for the worse in their early 60’s, health wise. So every day when the phone would ring, I was expecting to hear that one of them had died. Mom finally fell and died from a brain bleed a year ago just before reaching 80. Dad is still trucking along, failing health and all. So for 20 years now, every time the phone rings I have been expecting to hear the worst.
And I’m an over-the-top, pollyanna syndrome sort of optimist. It really takes a toll, over long periods of time like that. I’m not sure how mom made it so long. And in some ways she was the healthy one.
it wasn’t a chummy, celebratory “sports-tap-on-the-butt”.
More like a get-tha-fuck-out-da-way slap?
More like a “I have poor impulse control and you are doing something I don’t like, so I want to get your attention and inflict just a little bit of pain so you know that I am the dominant male here”
*briefly reflects upon own behavior*
Nope, not familiar with that concept.
who hasn’t given a but-tap like that?

Based on the profile picture, I’m worried J. Michael Straczynski’s has cancer or something.
I seriously consider Paltrow a troll. And a good one at that. She knows this is all bullshit.
That’s funny, right there.
The FBI done fucked up now. I’m going to run home so I can watch the massive protests against ICE/FBI for hassling illegals and their supporters. They better not have tried arresting them in a sanctuary city or shit will really fly!
Noice!
Noice!
I call BS on “with intent to commit a felony”. And good call on the twist with the Canadian illegal.
FreedomToons on Bernie vs. Warren
OT – had the surgery today and everything went off without a hitch! We’ve been going through some shit lately (not as serious as many of our fellow Glibs, to be sure) but it feels pretty great to finally put one in the W column. I’m actually feeling pretty positive for once but that might just be the drugs talking…
I forget, where you the one getting a penis enlargement, or where you the one getting a couple of conflict diamonds implanted under your skin “just in case”?
Hey, that’s quite the idea…
I wonder…
Why the “or” and not an “and”?
What do you think they are using to plump up that bigger beefier salami? Festus is really going to have an erection that is hard enough to cut glass with as soon as the stitches are out.
“Can you pound a six-inch nail through a board with your penis?”
“Well, not yet.”
“Girl’s gotta have her standards.”
I used to work with a Filipino guy who had previously worked on merchant ships. He said some of the crewmembers would implant ball bearings in their penis in order to better pleasure the prostitutes in port. It must get boring and lonely at sea.
Oh, Glibs. Never Change!
Huh. I would think the scrotum would be much more natural spot to insert ball bearings into.
pleasure the prostitutes?
Just repeating what he said. It didn’t make sense to me either.
Why not just get a Prince Albert when you’re on shore leave? Anybody can get a tattoo.
Go you!
Congratulations on your transition, Madame Festus!
“IT’S MA’AM!”
Does this change your preferred pronoun?
Good job, Festus!
Happy for you, dude!
I’m gonna need your snow blower tomorrow and someone to run it. Try to get here before noon, that’s when the snow will be piling up.
Good news, Festus! Hope you’re out of recovery and ready to kick some butt. How long before you’re up to speed? Winter’s only 1/2 over.
Four weeks, give or take. I’ll be climbing the walls long before then, though.
Awesome news, old man.
Thanks, Guys! In and out of there in less than five hours. The treatment was night and day compared the last time.
Excellent news.
I don’t care if it’s been linked already.

@SenKamalaHarris
The Senate is receiving the articles of impeachment against President Trump today. We should not advance any more judicial nominees while we take on this solemn responsibility of the president’s trial for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Cocaine Mitch: “Ha”
The Dems have all run off to see the impeachment circus so Mitch and the Reps are ransacking the Judiaciary in their absence. It’s really amusing.
The balls on that bitch…
In a sane and just world, every democrat who had a hand in the Kavanaugh hearings would be a social pariah and basically unemployable.
I don’t think most of them realize just how far over the line they went on that one, with the Sandman kid and with Russia/impeachment nonsense.

Good podcast from Bob Murphy about the IG Report.
Anyone who listens to Bob Murphy knows that he’s very measured and tries to give people the benefit of the doubt. Worth a listen
I totally have been thinking about writing an article w.r.t. the Russia investigation called “the gasslighting of America”. I don’t know how Bob Murphy got into my head but he did.
Also – Yes this is a fantastic take on the whole IG report.
Did folks know about the MONOGRAMMED pens?
It’s the Bee so it is possibly part of the joke.

Sanders Clarifies His Gulags Will Be Democratic Gulags
“These aren’t your regular, totalitarian, Soviet gulags — not that there’s anything wrong with that — these are democratic gulags,” he said in a clarifying speech. “We vote on the prison camps so it’s not like a nasty dictatorship thing.”
He then sent a memo to his staff reminding them that the gulags weren’t supposed to be revealed until phase 2 of his plan.
“free”
https://nypost.com/2020/01/08/ruth-bader-ginsburg-says-she-is-cancer-free-following-radiation-treatment/
Ginsburg cancer treatment over the summer came just months after she had lung-cancer surgery the previous December, when part of her left lung was removed. While recovering from surgery, she missed arguments at the court in January, her first illness-related absence in over 25 years as a justice.
She also suffered from colorectal cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer once before in 2009.
Then release the PET scan results, lady.
RBG: “The what? The doctor told me the tumor shrank and is not showing up on scans anymore.. therefore I’M CANCER FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!”
God’s trying.
Senate Asks Pelosi If She Can Send Over Copy Of Impeachment Articles Without Wine Stains All Over It
“Hey, Mrs. Speaker, sorry to bug you,” McConnell said, “but it looks like you’ve got some purple substance all over these articles of impeachment.”
“Don’t mess with me!” Pelosi snapped back. “I’m a Catholic. Wait — do Catholics drink wine?” When an aide informed her they do, she realized the jig was up and sheepishly agreed to transmit fresh articles of impeachment.
An embarrassed Pelosi came over to pick up the old ones and deliver a fresh copy. She smelled the stains and confirmed they were a “delicious 1982 vintage — very good year.” A concerned aide tugged the paper out of her hand as she began to nibble at the corner.
Unfortunately, the new copy was covered in bourbon.
“Two major candidates have said the other is lying. We should keep asking questions.”

I’ve grown smarter cucumbers.
I think Sanders was saying something along the lines of the US being too misogynistic to elect a woman as President.
Just like a woman, (TIWTANLW) Warren took that to mean that a woman couldn’t be President.
That is what I was betting it was. The knives are out now.
https://twitter.com/ramcharanredd16/status/1217892903244054528
would?
From that angle I would say would in MILF sort of way. However, I need more documentation to make a final determination.
She’s a solid “wood” from me.
Also, openly bi, so maybe she’ll bring a friend.

Absolutely.

Speaking of Minnesoda Morons…..
PolyMet is trying to build a nickel-copper mine in Northern Minnesoda. Recently a court blocked one of the permits that they were issued. Right on schedule Ilhan Omar stepped up and showed off her intellectual chops.
So you shitlords won’t be able to kick Gaia around with your copper burning SUV’s!
Yup
That was Just a cut and paste error.
Oh so sort of like a search warrant. Forgot to cross out MJ and type in cocaine.
I wonder if she’s been briefed on the mines in africa, and how those people are treated for rare-eath metals she has in her phone, car, house, etc.
She’s upper class Somali. She has no objection to slavery in Africa, slaving has long been a major industry of her people.
For someone who hates humans, I see she has polluted Gaia with no less than three children. How does she carry that shame??
It’s not overpopulation if you can afford to send your kids to a Montessori school.

“JUST IN: Planned Parenthood launching $45 million campaign to back Democrats in 2020”

https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1217827876805976064
So the government gives money to Planned Parenthood, then Planned Parenthood spends money to elect politicians, to give them more money.
Same with public sector unions. That’s how BO got all his money.
I’d expect no less.
Is there a republican equivalent of tax dollars funding an organization and then that organization only backOmg republicans?
No idea if they give solely to Republicans, and not really a organization, and too lazy to check, but maybe the military industrial complex?
That’s a good example, but I’m pretty sure the pork flows to both sides.
Maria Cantwell (d-Boeing) agrees
So after a little digging, there is a donation funded political arm, separate from the tax exempt PP. The solution would be to end tax exempt status for all organizations and end government funded private institutions, but we ain’t gonna get it.
Money is fungible.
Not legally. If audited and PP funds are transferred to the political arm, that would be a crime.
“Not legally.”
LOL
“Planned parenthood votes” is not the same organization as planned parenthood.

Nice call-back to that poor Ukranian fellow!

Yes indeedy.

Oscar has taken our talks to heart and instituted a reign of terror over the mice. Last night, I found a head (i’m surprised you all didn’t hear the screaming). The exterminators are coming tomorrow.
Nothing wrong with a little head.

Nobody claps for disc golf, because the only people watching are the ones that are playing.

That’s not very nice, bringing dogs along and not letting them chase the frisbees.

Kittah decided to go explore, I’m worried about Hawks, she’s tiny
If she keeps to underbrush or slinks along the sides of structures, trees etc., she’ll be fine — most birds of prey can’t dive-bomb that close to stuff like that. A Merlin tried to dive-bomb my Shih-Tzu Gizmo many years ago, but he was too close to the garage. The Merlin basically knocked itself silly and then hid under one of our deck chairs while Giz barked at it. Took it about 30 minutes to recover enough to fly away. If it survived, it probably learned a good lesson that day.
he is a psycho
i.e., he is a cat.
Yep
You say that like it’s a bad thing…
My greatest fear at the moment is that he will bring me a mouse while I’m in bed.
“Behold! I am a mighty hunter!”
“Why do you reject my gift?!”
I know. He is a sensitive kitty. He gets upset if I tell at him.
Our cat would always share. He once left a pair of frog’s eyes on our pillow for us.
Awww! I want him to be selfish. No sharing!
