I hope it's the horse.

A gentle reminder for your day, in case you need it. 😽🤍

No. They have no strategic bone in their gnarled, lobbyist beholden bodies.

I despise centrists.

dems aren't giving this guy what he wants because they're bad at politics, or because they're incompetent buffoons.

they're giving this guy what he wants because they want it too

Mainstream media has become just as complicit as FOX. All of them. No mercy. No exceptions. (See also: Nuremberg, Julius Streicher).

Personality Disorders and Self Reflection do not go hand in hand.

Nope. Never will either. Perhaps after the reconquista.

Didn't make it that far. I confess that I put the book away fairly soon after starting. The only Michener door-stopper I ever finished was Texas.

Isn't that the one that starts with a naval battle in the Pacific? Some destroyer "crossing the t" of a Japanese battleship? It's been ages since I read it.

Screenshot of the pet door app on my phone, indicating the successful entry of both my cats. Multiple notices of entry, because the geniuses still take more than ten seconds to enter.

View of Vlissingen in the distance from observation point Kaapduin. Beach and sea to the right, dunes in the middle, wooded area to the left. It takes me 45 minutes to walk from here to the largest visible tower.

Meeting your goal is good. Sometimes it's hard, especially when the weather is crappy. As for my hike: Cloudy but dry. Was one kilometre short of walking half a marathon yesterday. The girls finally figured out their pet door to the garden. Only took them 12 days.

I’m on the side of our new Chinese overlords, comrade.

It's phone tag, Jeff. But not as we know it.

No. Not in almost a quarter century. I found it harder and harder to not take the malice, that I had to conjure up to be really good at it, into my real life interactions and relationships.

The idea is to discourage non prolific posters from posting anything controversial, by flooding them with time wasting reply hooks. I treat them about the same as I treated lamers in alt.flame.

Hah. I never waste my time on the intellectually dishonest or the obtuse. Saves hella time.

I strongly hinted that modern nazi apologists/propagandists ought to suffer the same fate as Julius Streicher. That's all. ;-)

It all started with Reagan. His administration killed the Fairness Doctrine.

Picture of Julius Streicher, wearing a translation headphone, in the docs at the Nuremberg trials. The accompanying text reads: At Nuremberg, Julius Streicher was not convicted of having committed or participated in any crimes or acts of violence himself, but was convicted on the grounds that as a journalist his many speeches and articles supporting and excusing violence mad him an accessory. He hanged.

Whenever I see some Fox News talking head in particular, or a mainstream media "journalist" in general, I always think about old Julius Streicher and his well deserved fate.

Volvo is Swedish. :-)

Nah. Pretentious Latin. It is Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter.

Me too. Kiss was the very first band I considered myself to be a fan of. Ace had a very distinct sound.

Ace Frehley, Kiss lead guitarist and band’s cofounder, dies aged 74 The musician died following injuries suffered during a fall in his recording studio last month

Oh no!

Yup. The grey one is called Tommy.

If I remember correctly, the black one is called Nick.

I have no idea. Next time, if I can remember, and I am in the vicinity, I'll ask. I didn't enter the petting zoo proper; I just walked past and took a picture through the fence.

Statue of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter in Vlissingen.

Grey clouds all day, but very little rain. I very much enjoyed my walk. I made it to Michiel (-- end of walk --) in good time. Clocked a total of 17.5 kilometres today.
