There's an RFK Jr. joke crawling around in this somewhere, but I can't wrap my hands around it.

"Sugar glider" sounds like a cool line of work. How's it pay?

The pay is sweet. Or do you need a more... granular explanation?

I’m glad the adorable creature is in a zoo and not someone’s “pet”.

It ENRAGES me when someone attempts to make a house pet out of a sugar glider or similar small WILD creature. Those little animals are NOT well suited to such an existence and do NOT fare well in captivity.

The first night we had ours, (a teacher gave her to me because it was not a good class pet), she got out of her cage and we found her hours later, embedded in the sofa cushion. We found her by the smell.

I found her once in our shower stall. No idea how she got in there.

A wide-eyed marsupial with a wealth of meal worms within a pumpkin gazebo.

Almost a pumpkin grotto.

(We were talking about grottoes elsewhere; I only had a dim sense of what they are.)

Grottoes rule! (You can imagine my disappointment the first time I saw a Grotto's Pizza.)

Bettina appears to be wearing an Evil Eye protective pendant in the People mag pix? Good move, considering.

.... Is she PRETTY? Well she looks pretty normal compared to Kimberly for sure.

Good news, Substack now offers a "Share to" Bluesky option on Notes and Posts (previously only available on the phone version.) Couldn't be because I requested it back on Nov. 15, could it? 😁

> ... Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker should stop fucking playing footsie with them.

RFKJ is accidentally right about a few things, like high-fructose corn syrup and certain dyes and additives, and I don't think it's harmful to work with them on those specific things.

Did Wray pull on over on Trump? No. Because Trump is a goddamn criminal who will not now not ever follow all the precious rules that Democrats and moderate republicans (where ever they are hiding) hold so dear. That's what everyone needs to wrap their heads around. Trump stomped all over "The Rules" the first time and he's even more lawless and dangerous now.

AaAAAAghHHGHHHGgggggg! Someone make the capitulating stop. TFG isn't even in office, FFS. Why in the name of all that is Holy is everyone already caving? Trump isn't even that much of a tough guy!

Christ on a cracker, Manchin and Sinema fucking hate Americans. I can't believe they voted against Biden's pick for the labor relations board. We need better Republicans but until we can get that we need much, much better Democrats. Ones that won't switch parties (which shouldn't be legal) after getting elected and won't capitulate to neo-capitalism.

Maybe they're getting jobs from Big Orange

Expand full comment

I think they are hoping for jobs from Big Banking or Big Oil or something because they've been trash since Biden got elected.

Wait, Don Jr and Kimberly broke up? I really have been away from the news....

She got sacked! Then they want to ship her off to Greece! Bon Voyage!

Well, she might write a tell all book otherwise.

Tiedrich has a good column as usual, and also give quite the nod to Evan's pointed question from today's post: Is FBI Director Chris Wray A Coward For Resigning, Or Did He Just Stick His Dick In Trump's Eye? (see yer faithful Wonkette for that article), along with a rundown of Biden's awesome pardoning powers

The odd thing, for me anyway, is that when I saw that phrase, that song popped into my head. This despite not really being a hardcore Robbie Robertson fan.

South Carolina just wants to be sure that all women know their bodies belong to the State between puberty and menopause, with loans out to whatever man claims them. Also, women (and girls) who have sex (willingly or forced) must be punished by pregnancy carried to delivery or death (doesn't matter which), regardless of health, circumstance or age (old enough to bleed, old enough to breed). A non viable fetus who somehow makes it through delivery, can then be tortured for a bit rather than letting them die peacefully, because that makes Republican Jesus laugh.

Doug Wilson is an evil man who enables child molesters and uses his influence to get them positions where they can be around children. This is not a slanderous accusation - this is a description of what he has done.

That looks more like spinach-flavored cheese than cheese-flavored spinach, if you ask me.
