Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Who, me?!?

There’s a sucker born every minute, and some of them live with dogs…

Or, if you prefer a more formal venue for working on losing those pandemic pounds…

    I love Olive and Mabel, the “Home Help” and “Looking for Love” videos are especially good. Another really fun Youtube channel to binge is Owlkitty. Edit: also, Batzilla the Bat. Can’t get over how cute flying foxes are.

    Repeating. Sue me.

    You just know the impulse that popped into the dog’s brain the moment the video ended was “Okey-dokey. Now I’m ready to head inside and sprawl on that comfy white couch.”

    I totally want to send that first video to the Queen! Do you think she would be amused?

    Add my name to Olive and Mabel fandom. I actually ordered, and read, Andrew Cotter’s book, Olive, Mabel, & Me. It’s far from being great literature (not that I expected it to be), but it’s cute and at times quite touching.

    @John Revolta:

    Also too, dog emotions are probably about as complex as human emotions. I doubt that five states come anywhere near to capturing that complexuty.

    Fine corgois across the street in my neighborhood.

    Not into corgi humiliation or corgi mockimg at all. Some people are insensitive assholes. We just need to admit that some of those assholes are us, and fucking purge them.

    The dog intepreeter thing reminds me of a Far Side cartoon where a scientist – at last!- develops a helmet that allows him to walk down the street and hear exactly what dogs are really saying.

     

    He walks down the street surrounded by dogs, and all of them are saying the same thing:

    “Hey! Hey-Hey-hey!”

    “Heeyyyyyyy”

    @sab:  And apparently some are dogs. (Thanks for the guffaw, AL.)

    ETA, that is, some insensitive assholes are …

    So happy I can add to a respite thread.  Although knowing this place, someone has probably already posted this (like OzarkHB).  Check out the whole thread for wildlife happy.

    At first I read the end of the title as ‘Dog breath’ and thought, ‘what kind of respite is that?’

    But I was happily mistaken. Thanks for the fun petpix. A great respite to help get us through the next couple of stressful days.

    @John Revolta: I think “Who, me?” should be in there.

    Kind of fits under shame, but you’re right; I’ve seen dogs that show both those emotions.  But I’m loath to drop squirrel.

    There’s normal dog anger, and then there’s “the pizza delivery guy rang the doorbell” levels of white hot blistering dog rage

    Nope. Comes close enough in one picture that it was latched onto by impressionists. Much the same as Kate Hepburn mimics’ “Rah-ah-lly I will.”

    @NotMax:

    Which picture? I noticed it once but now I can’t remember.

    We’re reading the new biography of him now. I sometimes feel as if the author never actually watched some of these movies, the way he describes them.

    We didn’t know we had a dog next door for weeks after we moved in because he’s so quiet.  One modern, low key “woof” and they let him right back in.  One night they weren’t hearing him, a a every 30 seconds, just the same low key “woof”.  What a good boy.

    I was outside right next to their fence, cutting up debris with a saw and I never knew he was outside until he did his woof to get let back in.  I told his dog mom that once we can all get vaccinated, I really want to meet him in person, plus the daughter’s Great Dane, who I have also not seen or heard when she visits, which is often
