Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

How stupid are these people?

Celebrate the fucking wins.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Come on, man.

Second rate reporter says what?

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I was going to wait until I had video before posting about these two, but who knows when that will be. When I go out into the yard, it disrupts the dynamic.

Penelope Pearl has a crush on Bixby (more photos here) and I melt watching her follow him around.

I mentioned in a previous thread that her hormones have hit hard. She comes to me for skritches when it gets to be too much. Which is adorable.  But her main focus has been Bixby and he’s all cool with it. I just worry about him stepping on her accidentally.

I’ll keep trying for video, because she calls after him as she goes.

    Anyone else want Penelope Pearl to hop on Bixby’s back and ride around in style?

    “What’s that?”
    “Oh, just one of my ducks riding around on one of my Great Danes.”

    P/earl and Bixby! Never a dull day at your place. Summer, and the newest duck follows v the bigger dog. Of corse.

    John had a link earlier to your site and they are so cute together. This is what we all needed.

    Ducks, dogs and cats living together? What’s next? Those pictures are so cute.

    @mrmoshpotato: Yes, I would like to see that too, as long as it wouldn’t be too dangerous for her. I had to laugh at what you wrote because it reminded me of that video that went around a year ago. The one where a family caught the neighbor’s corgi catching a ride on their pony’s back.

    So happy to see Bixby healthy and walking normally, so he can continue his duck-charming ways. Hope you’re able to get a video at some point.

    @Baud: … only by logistics :)

    I often think the only real justification for the human species is to teach other species to be friends not only with us, but with one another.

    In this picture Penelope looks like one of those kitschy ceramic ducks.

    Wow. Penelope Pearl has taught me that even female ducks go through menopause. /s

    @JPL: Of course, the Dutch side is also outfitted by Nike, so the Oregon folks had everything covered.

    Their kids are either going to be the the ultimate water dogs or the most fetching fucks.

    ( SWMBO said I had to say that).

    There should be an “after” picture (photoshopped, of course) of some white feathers and duck bones, picked clean with the dog licking his chops….
