Rumor of War Cafe

Bridge over Colorado River at bottom of Grand Canyon
by @eamberg

Dog who's lost all of his hair due to terrible skin allergies gets his fur back.

Baby duck is reuinted with his brothers after behing rehabbed.

Baby elephant just being cute.

A golden retriever Christmas.

Little girl teaches puppy how to get down from the stoop.

This better not be AI. Or this one.

The problem with AI slop is now I don't even post really good videos because most really good videos are fake. I now search for moderately-good videos, figuring you wouldn't use AI to make a fake moderately-good video.

Airport police dogs go on break together.

If we could all take as much pleasure in life as this dog...

2 Drat, willow'd again! From TWIW,

259 Here is the source of that Dalrymple quote:

"Our Culture, What's Left Of It"
https://archive.is/WBcUY

It's a FrontPageMag interview about his essay collection of the same name, and I do recommend reading the whole thing. The reason for the Archive link is because, for whatever reason, the interview is no longer available on FrontPageMag itself. So it was difficult to find the original source, and the reason why I went to the trouble of digging for it is because so many versions (including ESR's) are truncated, and I wanted to make sure that I get it right. It is one of my favorite quotes.

6 The cat massaging the senior dog may have been doing a lot of good for it.

Cat purring supposedly has healing qualities.

I know when my cat Allie kneads my lap, I feel very relaxed.

32 I wish I had that bird-catcher dog around.

Had four birds get in the house over the years.
The first two took forever to catch and get out the house, the third found it's own way out eventually after the door was left open, and the last one died after a ceiling fan sling-shot into a wall broke its neck.

34 Iranian strike predictions

1) Air defenses and radar sites. - Tomahawks

2) Take out the Iranian Navy. - Harpoons

3) Ballistic Missile Launchers. - Guided bombs

4) All airfields with active planes / drones (not that many of them nowadays) - using our own drones first.

5) Iranian Leadership. - MOABs

6) Security Forces -A-10 with 30 mm gatling cannons.

Posted by: NaCly Dog at February 27, 2026 07:41 PM (u82oZ)

35 Also, I'm under the impression that we prefer to start air strikes during a new moon, and there's a lunar eclipse coming up March 3rd (so it's pretty full now).

OTOH, the bombing run last summer was after two weeks of Israeli strikes, which means one or the other of us wasn't too concerned about the phase of the moon then.

It got itself caught in a flying insect sticky trap.

Half his feathers got ripped out trying to get him off the thing.
Left him outside, so I don't know if it made it.

I took the wreath off the front door they liked to hide in and solved the bird problem.

53 If this For All Mankind series on Apple TV+ wasn't so woke to the point of insanity it might not be a bad show.

As is it's half about what the space program could've been and half soap opera and a parade of progressive identity politics so obnoxious that it could almost be satire.

I can't be sure if I keep watching it because I want to see how far they go out in the solar system or to see how much the show crashes and burns when they run out of minorities to both victimize and oppress then turn into heroes & martyrs at the same time.

98 I've been very concerned this week that several Horde members in mostly good standing have been subjected to PET Scans. This seems dehumanizing at the very least. Do they treat the scanner after dogs, cats, gerbils use it? I'm all for saving money, but I'd insist on a Human Scan, myself.

125 From Wiki:

Neil Sedaka - March 13, 1939 – February 27, 2026) was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. Beginning his music career in 1957, he sold millions of records worldwide and wrote or co-wrote over 500 songs for himself and other artists, collaborating mostly with lyricists Howard "Howie" Greenfield and Phil Cody.

129 So, I rewatched The Godfather. Have not watched it for a long time. And you notice things that did not stand out before. Remember the scene at the dinner table, that was sometime after Vito was shot and Santino, as the eldest, became the head of the family. Connie and her husband are having a fight. Head of the table - Sonny, across - the mother. Connie's husband is rough, yelling at Connie, and Sonny starts to shout at him. His mom's reaction - "Don't interfere". And in the past I thought , why is this there ? Because with someone like Coppola, there are no incidental phrases, right ? Well this time I got it. This is exactly what got Sonny killed. Remember why he left the house after they were all locked down ?

Former President Joe Biden weathered travel delays to fly commercial to South Carolina on Friday, where he was spotted taking an “awkward” selfie at the airport ahead of an event marking the sixth anniversary of his victory in the state’s 2020 presidential primary.

After Biden, 83, de-boarded his flight from Washington, he noticed a woman, who appeared to be in a wheelchair and wearing a cast, snapping a photo of him.

The former president, who was greeted warmly at the South Carolina airport, reached across the stanchion and plucked the woman’s phone to try and take a selfie.

Biden, and another woman who came over to help, fumbled with the phone for about 20 seconds before they figured out the camera.

The ex-president “BLANKLY STARED at it until someone intervened.

189 yes, they are being paid, and being who they are it is quite a bit about the ego too. Old, washed up, kicked out of every major network. No matter what they say, 90% of the independent online "news" is entertainment. A variety show type. It is not news. It not "breaking news" and "reporting" and all eye are on you. What would you call their attempts at shows ? It is not news, it is nothing.

191 Them more the sabre gets rattled the more Baris and Co go off the fuckin' deep end. A sight to see, it really is.

IT'S THE END TO TRUMP AND MAGA if we strike Iran. It's all over, nothin' left. Pack it in and vote Dem in 2026-2028. According to BAris it was all downhill when the first Iran strike was launched last summer. His other big brain take is that we need to peddle and bow to Islamists in Dearborn if we are to save MAGA.

Wat happun to dis guy?

They don’t understand the American Right very well. Their tears just make the victory even sweeter. And America has never been bothered by being mocked and usually just appropriates the mocking for itself.

Yankee Doodle Dandy was the British mocking us.

It's the Nirvana of SciFi.

They lost BOTH Gold medal games to the USA. Heh! You'd think they'd figure out that if they just stop screaming into the abyss about this, they USA would stop taunting. We do have short attention spans. The USA would just move onto something else. Yet, Canada persists in this humiliation ritual, forcing the USA to respond mockingly. Just stop, Canuks. It's over.
