Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

The new temporary speaker of the house is a spiteful little shit.

This fight is for everything.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

House Speaker candidate unfamiliar with how to win non-gerrymandered election.

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

In my day, never was longer.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

There are no moderate Republican – only extremists, and cowards.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Another OTR submission of a 10-day trek along the Tsavo & Galana Rivers in southern Kenya.

By now I’d decided that our guide was an ‘adrenaline junkie’ as he seemed thrilled whenever we brushed up against danger. As when an African Wildcat popped out of a burrow as we passed by. Also, the Samburu bushmen were spooked by snakes. We passed one, coiled under a bush and when they spotted it—they all jumped in the air. Then laughed at each other…

MIDDAY DRIVE 2 EIPYA CHAPEYU CAMP.

On the way to camp, we also passed seven lioness lounging in the shade.  Soon after we encountered a group of 13 elephants that we disrupted in their walk to the river.  An annoyed matriarch moved her group back across the road to safer (open) ground while challenging our vehicle.  She also hilariously scolded a young male for trumpeting at us.

MORNING HIPPOS / GALANA RIVER.

A passel of hippos—hoping we’ll cross the river right here.  No worries…

    Not a passel – it is a bloat of hippos ;)  Collective nouns for animals are great.  My favorite from Africa is a dazzle of zebras. Love the sunsets.

    HUFFALUMPS!!! They really are such amazing creatures. And fuck the poachers supporting the illegal ivory trade. If/when we die out elephants 🐘 will be most likely to take our place.

    Or corvids. They’re high on that list too.

    @Yutsano: In the early days of this walking safari, the guide would come across ‘poached’ elephants and report to the park warden.  Elephants are amazing and watching interactions within the matriarchal groups was a delight.
