Oh my precious little teddy bear,
My sweet baby,
I love you,
I remember you,
I miss you so much.

Here's a whole squad of them or whatever, blasting multiple pepper balls at a protester in an inflatable frog costume, who takes the hits and then proceeds to dance.

This is so awesome, and I'd like to think of it also in part as a reclaiming of Pepe

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

I used to go there all the time when I first got Butterbean, but as she aged and walks got shorter, it fell off our route. It's probably a bit far for Bambam, though I walked him there once, for a No Kings rally. As it gets cooler, I think I'll make a point to walk over more often.

…and again, there are all the trees and surrounding historic architecture. The vibes are great too—so many people there just having a good time, walking, jogging, enjoying the weather, with dogs, or whatever. A free, well-maintained public space.

For the first time in too long, I strolled over to and around Forsyth Park. Just getting there is a beautiful walk—four blocks of broad sidewalks along brick roads lined with mature live oak trees and big old houses. And then of course the park itself is wonderful. A lap around is about a mile…

That makes sense. Sports fandom is probably something we mostly are raised into. I wasn't raised with baseball, either watching it or playing Little League, but my dad always watched football.
