One day I’ll figure out how to make a GIF outta this, and maybe “Boston Terrier Noir” will outstrip “Dramatic Chipmunk” as the go-to meme for mock shock.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.
People are complicated. Love is not.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania. Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.
When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
Damn right I heard that as a threat.
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.
My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.
Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

OMG, if Marty Feldman were a Boston Terrier…

B-A-D-G-E-R! B-A-D-G-E-R! B-A-D-G-E-R! And Badger is his name-o! ❤️?❤️

Look at that face!

Dogs are actually humans, sort of.

OMG, it’s The Third Man! Love this photo.

I can see why Geico uses a BT in its commercials on texting while driving. Totally can see Badger as a member of the dog police.

BADGER PUPPEH!!!
But where are the mushrooms?
Betty Cracker
@TaMara (HFG): Right? It totally has that vibe. You can hear the zither!

that face says to me: “You give me food?”

He looks like Janet Leigh in Psycho.

open thread: people are tweeting about whether or not Renée, in the last season of the Americans, was a spy– not really a spoiler for a show that went off the air two years ago. Matthew Rhys (Phillip) has weighed in to say “yes”, to which I say: for which side?
And I still can’t believe he won an Emmy and Keri Russell didn’t.
Rob
@Yutsano: Are there snakes? Should I panic?
EmbraceYourInnerCrone
@Jim, Foolish Literalist: I always assumed Renee was a Russian spy, I liked that they left it ambiguous though.
Jim, Foolish Literalist
@EmbraceYourInnerCrone: yup, the ambiguity made it so much better
I’m planning to binge the last two seasons soon. So many great supporting actors, too.
Yutsano
@Rob: Heh. And here I was worried that joke was too old by now.
Gravenstone
I’m getting a “whatchutalkinboutWillis?” vibe on that one.

Dog Noir?
He’ll nose around. https://imgur.com/a/gp0wjpr

@Yutsano:
the joke is certainly NOT TOO OLD. But I might be.

@Jeffro: Forecast is marked up in Sharpie again?

@Rob:
I’ve been informed by a possibly unreliable narrator that this entire timeline was edited to add a snake(s) to the badgers and mushrooms. (One or more of those mushrooms might have been involved, but probably not.) TBH, I didn’t really know of this meme until recently.
Nice pic!

@TaMara (HFG): @Betty Cracker: Love that movie! This could be a still from it. Love his huge eyes!

Badger is adorable.
The good news is that both Howards End and Sanditon are very good, each in their own way. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Julia Ormond act as well as she does in HE.
satby
@zhena gogolia: Good to hear, I’m looking forward to streaming them both tomorrow.
TaMara (HFG)
Spent the morning cleaning. After dinner, Scout HAD to have something at the bottom of the dog toy box. She managed to pull every toy out and they are now strewn across the room. At least she was entertained.

@TaMara (HFG):
the heart wants what the heart wants. Casey fell in love with her bone pillow. When it died, she was heartbroken, briefly.
Thing was, when I first noticed how much in love with it she was, I went back to the pet store, bought the three they had in stock, and ordered 4 more. For 15 years, her bone pillow kept magically coming back to life.

Hey Betty, check your inbox…Gif-ified Badger for you.?

@zhena gogolia:
Re Ormond, check out Smilla’s Sense of Snow, mentioned in the “mysteries” thread yesterday.
satby
@Steeplejack (phone): great movie! The previous thread had me looking up the fly fishing scene from Libeled Lady for some reason.
zhena gogolia
@Steeplejack (phone):
Yes, I’ve never seen that.
WaterGirl
@sukabi: How can you do that if Badger isn’t moving?
WaterGirl
That face. I ?Badger.
Eljai
@Aleta: Ha! When I look at those photos, I hear Frank Sinatra singing “That’s Life” in my head.
Steeplejack (phone)
Badger’s look is the same one my brother’s Italian greyhound used to get: i.e., “Who’s Badger? And why are you yelling at me?”
Steeplejack (phone)
Never mind.
sukabi
@WaterGirl: gif files started out being static images… It’s been the last 20 years or that they’ve “upgraded” to adding frames for animation / or converting movie clips to gif format.
Aleta
@Eljai: That’s funny, because those kind of songs — Sinatra, Nat King Cole — seem to be playing (invisibly) in the background each morning he’s out for a walk, thrilled by every sign and clue he picks up about this wonderful world.
