Of course, everyone this is not the bat that causes the virus. It's not even clear where the virus came from right now. This tweet was but a mild interruption to what has become the world's longest March. It's also not evidence of government conspiracy. Just a bat on a coin.

It's the Samoan Flying Fox, which is found in our National Park in American Samoa. The tails side of most recent quarters is of scenes from our National Parks and Historic Sites.

Take a break from fuckery all day, every day. It’ll still be there when you’re ready to deal with it.
Go breathe. Go create something.
The feeling I have is that the constant crap we have to deal with is to prevent us from saying, “hey, we can make the world a bit better”. When we have room to breathe, time to focus on breathing, we have ideas. We gain strength, release anger and tension. We think clearer and for those of us with souls, we feel human and humanity towards others. So stop for a while tonight. Enjoy something. Write a few lines. Laugh at something. Feel unabashedly in love with a person, a story, a piece of music. Forget the bullshit of adulthood and expectations. Be intensely you – and enjoy how great you are.
You earned it. Obligatory cat pic from my library of shots during my tenure in animal behaviour.

I often think about how in 2016, when almost anyone who mattered was dying (Prince, Bowie, Carrie Fisher, Alan Rickman, I kept thinking “Man this is the worst year ever.”

It’s not exactly Henry II abasing himself before the bishops, but showing up for the hardcore Talibangelicals’ big “Day of Prayer” sans spray-tan and combover would seem to indicate that Lord Smallgloves, or his advisors, will indeed be leaning heavily into his ‘religious’ base during the upcoming election. (As a different Henry is supposed to have said, Paris is worth a mass.) Typical of the man’s slipshod ways that he couldn’t be persuaded to take the effort of changing out of golf togs. At least take off the cleats!
I'm sure the evangelicals would have been totally fine with Obama stopping by church for 16 minutes so everyone could pray for him. pic.twitter.com/7JpgxKmBTX

And please note that McLean Bible Church is on Rte. 7-right up the road from Sterling, VA, where the golf club is. It’s like he stopped for beer at 7-11 on the way to the BBQ.

Who is your favorite Trump Chief of Staff candidate? Some people like Newt, but I’m all about Rick Santorum. Not only is he crazy, he’s also very, very stupid. I know he said “no” once but I’m still holding out hope.
Disappointed no one has mentioned Scott Baio.
