Recovering journalist and paleoanthropology geek who feeds many animals. Please, no DMs. I'm old, creaky and married. Also, the Oxford comma is overrated.

Loser try-hards doing loser try-hard stuff. "Shock and awe" from an alcoholic YouTuber and a 79 year-old man who looks and sounds like he's about to keel over.

Worrying, but also pathetic. Strong people don't need to do Strong Guy Kabuki Theater. All they project is desperation and weakness.

ultimately it doesn't matter but I constantly find myself wondering if these guys think they're killing it or if they know they don't have the juice

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

The only good thing that happened at Quantico is that nobody in the top brass can say they didn’t know their commander in chief is a dementia-riddled dipshit with a double-digit IQ.

Not that cave or those people, but the name lives on. This was in the Czech Republic.

The presumption that every species had the same pleasure bits always seemed a bit of a stretch.

I live within a couple of hours of two major condor preserves and have been several times. Condors in flight are breathtaking.

As a Navy vet I knew the author didn’t really understand horny dudes.

There was an otherwise solid book in the ‘90s that argued Neanderthal women would’ve been too ugly for H. sapiens to have sex with. The author was obviously never in the Navy.

And then someone says, “I know! Let’s sack that settlement over the hill and take their women!” Paleotinder, if you will.*

As a retired journalist I have to say the abject cowardice of the media in this moment is enraging and heartbreaking.

You’d be surprised by how many adults come up and say, “Can I pet your dog?” A good number will say they had a basset as a kid. Always wistful.

Bassets are naturally funny. The obstinance contributes mightily.

Indeed she is. Got her from a rescue group around Thanksgiving. Sweet and obstinate as she can be.

This is Butters. She knows Charlie Kirk was a hateful scumbag and that Ezra Klein is doing thinking the wrong way.
