Heavenly Boobs Cafe

My favorite internet dog, again.

ICYMI: Dog is the best piece of fishing gear.

Rescuing a sickly abandoned dog who can't even stand up and healing him into the prettiest boy.

Man sees frightened, depressed dog in a kennel and instead of just passing him by he takes the time to sit with him and more. The YouTuber Rocky Kanaka makes this point in his Sitting With Dogs videos. Just because a dog isn't showing the usual signs of friendliness and loving humans doesn't mean he can't. He may just be shut down by neglect or abuse, or frightened to be in a loud, noisy place that is completely foreign to him. Even the dogs who cringe in the corner really want someone to show them that love is possible.

Dog sees a trampoline on TV and hooboy does he want one!

A reindeer cyclone.

Mammatus clouds -- boob clouds, in all their round, pendulous glory -- over a neighborhood.

Oooh, these knocker clouds are even heavier and hotter.

A tit bouncing around.

A green meteor explodes over Japan.

Baby it's cold outside.

The sea was angry that day, my friend. Like an old man trying to send soup back at a restaurant.

There be whales near.

Lightning storm over Japan.

For Duncanthrax: two penguins holding hands. And: noisy baby penguins.

Friends are just camels you haven't met yet.

Goofy donkeys.

This dog agrees with me about baby goats.

Attentive mother.

Elephant rolls up on a pack of lions, he don't care.

Golden is so excited to meet the new puppy.

Cats demonstrating why the word "copycats" evolved. A cat copies the baby.

This cat thinks that if he imitates the baby, he'll get fed.

Lions startled by lightning.

Today was my last day at my current job.

Yet somehow I still have to grade homework. How does that work?

5 If you want a calm, respectful, informed take on politics to end your Friday on a beacon of hope, I have a good one for you!

Amir Odom is a beautiful sparkly unicorn the left would proudly claim for their side. Gen Z, Gay, Black, has been homeless, was forced into gay conversion therapy, is a huge Beyonce lover.

Yet this kid loved Charlie Kirk, because Charlie Kirk championed his voice. He has a vid debunking some of the lies the left said about Charlie, defending his friend. I love this vid.

Stay safe, precious horde. Touch grass, live laugh love, eat pray love, go shoot clay pigeons or smoke a whole pig or garden or write or game. Whatever you need to do to stay sane in an insane world. Have a lovely one!

14 Friday afternoon, time to let down a bit at work, and relax into the weekend.

Unless you're Trump, who just said there would be a $100,000 fee for each H1-B visa.

This is brilliant. The H1-B has been widely defended, including by Elon Musk, as necessary to get the best and the brightest from all over, into this country, but has been heavily used to bring in low-priced drones from India to do middle-class jobs for cheaper than Americans can/will.

So, put up or shut up. $100K isn't much to get those "best and brightest" into the country, right?

64 Channeling Sally Field: they hate us, they really hate us:

A dejected Jimmy Kimmel staffer said they “can’t imagine a scenario” in which the late-night show returns after ABC indefinitely axed it over the comedian’s false claim that Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was a MAGA supporter.

The now-unemployed “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” worker insisted the one-hour late-night show will remain permanently shelved, saying right-wing critics are unrelenting and Disney — ABC’s parent company — will likely buy out the host and fill his slot with reruns of other flagship network programs.

“Even if Jimmy was willing to publicly apologize and donate money to whatever ghoulish conservative group that is demanding it….MAGA people will never be happy,” the unidentified staffer told veteran journalist Rick Ellis in an interview published on his “Too Much TV” Substack Friday.

84 “Even if Jimmy was willing to publicly apologize and donate money to whatever ghoulish conservative group that is demanding it….MAGA people will never be happy,” the unidentified staffer told veteran journalist Rick Ellis in an interview published on his “Too Much TV” Substack Friday.

Kimmel will never apologize in any case. So what's the point of all this verbiage?

May I... may I, Mr. or Ms. Unidentified staff, speak for the MAGA people? I know their language, they have accepted me as one of their own.

I know their ways are strange and confusing to you, but what you have to do is, not just listen to their words, but watch their faces and body language.

When one of them points and laughs at you like this:

Unless you're Trump, who just said there would be a $100,000 fee for each H1-B visa.

This is brilliant. The H1-B has been widely defended, including by Elon Musk, as necessary to get the best and the brightest from all over, into this country, but has been heavily used to bring in low-priced drones from India to do middle-class jobs for cheaper than Americans can/will.

So, put up or shut up. $100K isn't much to get those "best and brightest" into the country, right?

You arrogant Americans don't know anything about the difference between the UK, Great Britain and England and all that. Why don't you learn something about other countries, you ugly Americans...That type of attack.

Well, that American dug up a famous quite of QE II's mother, wife of George VI during WWII. Her name was also Elizabeth, and she later was the famous "Queen Mother".

Anyway, she said she thought about cancelling event due to German bombing, but thought better, "I'm the Queen of England. I will not be intimidated".

167 Sleeping pills and Zzquil knock me out quicker but I still have the problem of sleepus interruptus. Ditto with melatonin, with has the added spice of (even) weird(er) dreams. I get 2-3 hour blocks of sleep; sometimes only one block per night.

Since it makes no difference, I think I'll skip the sleep aids.

What concerns?
And yes there will be no change. American companies aren’t about to start hiring Americans. It’s a nice piece of symbolism Trump is doing but it’s for show.

If he really wanted to do something real, he’d raise the corporate tax rate to 50% for American companies who rely on foreign labor for more than % of their work. Otherwise it’s just shuffling foreign labor around.

Used to put anchovies on my pizza after the monthly student senate meeting in college. It was the only way to keep the regular moochers from eating my pizza. After a couple of times they just assumed my pizza had anchovies and found some else to mooch off of. I then could go back to my regular toppings unmolested.

Morrissey cancels Boston show at MGM Music Hall, Foxwoods Resort over death threats

BOSTON —
British singer-songwriter Morrissey's Saturday night show in Boston has been canceled after "a credible threat" on his life.

The singer was set to play at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on Saturday night.

"In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey's life. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and band, tomorrow's engagement at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway has been cancelled," the venue posted.

Morrissey's Friday night show at Foxwoods has also been canceled.

"All tickets will be refunded automatically at your original point of purchase," according to Morrissey's official social media pages. "We appreciate your understanding."

An Ottawa man was arrested and charged with threatening to shoot Morrissey at a music festival there last weekend. According to the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, that man has been released on bail and is staying with his father in Washington, D.C.

Honestly, the AR-10 I have is more ergonomic and lower recoil.
It depends on what you want and what role you see.

Do you just want a Garand-style action? Is this a range toy? Then get the M1A.

If you want to hike with it and might want to put rounds down range under stress, go with the AR 10.

Are you going to carry much and shoot little? Go with one of Col. Cooper's Scout Rifle bolt action models.

How is your eyesight? If you're 29, like everybody else here, and you need optics to shoot well, a flattop AR-10 is a lot easier to put optics on.

242 I've owned several .30-30's. I give them away pretty quickly (sons and nephews). Terrible recoil for such a puny round.
I love the looks of them, however. Never turn one down when it's offered.

254 Honestly, the AR-10 I have is more ergonomic and lower recoil.
It depends on what you want and what role you see.

Do you just want a Garand-style action? Is this a range toy? Then get the M1A.

If you want to hike with it and might want to put rounds down range under stress, go with the AR 10.

Are you going to carry much and shoot little? Go with one of Col. Cooper's Scout Rifle bolt action models.

Beretta BM-59. Some were imported in the 1970s, some have been built in the US using parts kits and modified Garand receivers.

Downside is they require their proprietary magazines, which are not cheap.

Trivial to build ARs now in 7.62x39. Mags, bolts, firing pin, and barrel. Ammo not cheap though as it was. Still better than ak.

267 In western Washington, most shots for deer and elk are less than 150 yards. The 30-30 is a reasonable rifle for that, although a bit small for elk. That said my 'ol man shot a moose with his.

Ar 10 is probably the more affordable option and versatile. M1A for old rifle mystique. But buy a pre built ar 10 unless you have done ar builds. Parts are semistd unlike the AR-15. One nic here had issues with his aero precision build. I didn't have issues but had built multiple ar15s before trying an ar10 build.
