The Christmas Guardian will save the tree.

Re-post: Baby elephant wants cuddles, does not realize he weighs 300 pounds.

Elephant visits hospital to say goodbye to his dying caregiver.

Puggle cuddle.

CONTENT WARNING (for Duncanthrax): Baby penguin still has his baby feather-fur on his head.

We strike at dawn.

Copykiitten.

Cat capsule hotel.

Man vs. Tiger tug of war.

It's breakfast time, I have commanded.

They pushed him TOO FAR:

The dog tried to de-escalate with a Chang-like monk-smile, but the bully just didn't understand that while the dog seeks peace, he is always ready to make war.

They used to be wolves.

--ABC news

Posted by: Blonde Morticia's Phone at December 02, 2025 07:49 PM (vt0Di)

31 From wikipedia

"The meat is considered unsuitable to eat in some areas, while in other areas it is considered an important source of protein. In parts of South America, especially in Venezuela, capybara meat is popular during Lent and Holy Week as the Catholic Church (according to a legend) previously issued special dispensation to allow it to be eaten while other meats are generally forbidden. There is widespread perception in Venezuela that consumption of capybaras is exclusive to rural people."

So that's it - they don't taste good. Lucky for them.

147 Interesting in this last ranking they jumped Alabama to #9 and dropped ND to 10. I think this was done so that if UGA beats UA in the SECCG they can drop UA down to 10 and move ND back to 9, because I don't think they want to put the #1 regular season SEC team out of the playoffs if UA loses the conference championship game.

No, I'm trying to figure out if Massie goes full turncoat and joins the Dems to out the best R speaker we've ever had and puts Hakeem in charge...and THEN Trump gets impeached.

There are 219 Rs before this election (just looked it up) with 3 vacancies (this is one). So, MTG leaves and we lose this, it's 218 pending 2 other elections where if we can't win a TN huge R seat, we can't win anything in an off election...

Van Epps only won Williamson by a 20 point margin, which is pretty terrible considering how bad Aftyn Behn is. Williamson County is considered one of the most republican / conservative places in the nation, or at least it used to be. What do I know, I only live here.

A combination of hubris and greed; the south Nashville bubble went 78-22 for Behn and it is one of the fastest growing areas in the state as it has places to live for gen z. The outlying counties, even with the Williamson bulwark, are not going to be enough votes if more people of the same persuasion continue to pack into south nashville, and it's a chic place to live now that all the moderately wealthy lib kids have chased out the former residents. It's going to be a problem in 10 years, if not sooner.

Depends on what you are arguing. If you're arguing that Trump might have screwed up, other people are allowed to have other assessments. But perhaps we can agree, because Trump can make mistakes.

None of those mistakes make me want another choice in office. That's the bottom line.

I've lost track of the number or times I've cringed over the way Trump said or posted something, but I can't do anything about that. He's not me, he's somebody way more successful than me.

Yeah, I have nothing against Ronaldus Magnus and hearing him speak at an assembly at our high school is still one of my favorite memories. But he was far too trusting of the Democrats.
