Demanding Doggos Cafe

Pienza, the so-called "ideal city" in Tuscany
by Max Morriconi
More here.
There's a short video here.

Jets vs. Sharks but more butch.

Kittens being lazybones.

Handing out toys to rando dogs.

Straight from the tap.

DID YOU KNOW? Baby goats make outstanding mechanic's assistants.

Cat won't get hustled by some street haggler.

Don't give me that static.

Providing a booster chair for ducklings.

For the discriminating connoisseur of toe beans.

That's the mustard.

I've got something to say!

Not good for either party. Ducks poop more regularly than just about any animal out there. They are, definitely, pooping in that pool. Anybody using that pool runs a high risk of conjunctivitis (pink eye)...which isn't fun.

Chorine is, likely, in that pool, and guess what. Chlorine is bad for ducks and can cause significant health issues if they swim in or drink it regularly. It strips the natural oils from their feathers, leading to waterlogging, and can damage their kidneys if consumed.

I have a pool. I regularly have to contend with the errant Canadian goose who likes to explore up from the pond down in the pasture. Some people think fences around pools are to keep the kids in the neighborhood from drowing accidentally. I could care leas about those brats. I just want to keep the geese out of my pool.

So, Spartacus and AOC did the deed, at least according to Swallwell, who has just outed them.

I think Booker would be worse. What do you think?

The portrayal of Spartacus by Hollywood is always amusing. He was a Thracian....who were tattooed barbarians known for drinking rituals to their God of Wine. Even the Thracian women had full body tattoos, and very few morals. They were always fragmented because they chose fighting over farming every single time. Spartacus was a thug.

Thracian was also one of the fighting styles gladiators used - sword and buckler. It has been tossed around that saying he was 'a thracian' was a cover for a Roman who had been broken down to the gladiator ranks which would explain why he was able to lead his slave army with such success.

It isn't a political or economic system, it is a religious heresy built on the sins of pride, envy, and wrath, and that it why it never loses its appeal. It says that "You ARE the best, society is unfair, and all the people with things you want must given them to you, and the people you hate DESERVE to be hated."

It's really quite simple.

Finland had it's own White Terror. Tough neighborhood and all that.

And yes, Franco paid his debts to Adolf. He also fought Commies before it was fashionable. Ike respected that.

The original ones were pretty quick and clean, as far as conquering ground goes. Maybe things add up over 1300ish years after that but it seems like a high number.

I give Collins a pass because she is from a blue state. I'll accept her 50-50 voting record because it beats a 0% one.

But guys like McConnell have no excuse. Same with Thune.

Yeah, Franco himself was apolitical, but the True Believers in the Phalange wanted more radical change, and there is a credible case that he packed them all off to the Eastern Front in the Blue Division for a reason.

Solved two problems at once - kept Hitler off his back and got rid of the radicals.

And Spanish commies were a big part of other countries resistance forces against Nazi occupation. The French resistance was mostly made up of commies.

Also Franco basically ghosted Hitler.

Don't know if any of you follow video games but this was done to the Assassin's Creed series as well by the company that created it, Ubisoft. Just took their company value and flushed it down the toilet. How you might ask? Their game set in feudal Japan; the male protagonist was a g*y black man. Criminal creative negligence.

Yes, the wokification of Gamers was a little earlier and the purges led to the creation of counter-revolutionaries like Sargon of Akkad who were all veterans when the culture war came to Hollywood a few years later. That's why the reaction was so fast and complete, we had effective antibodies ready to go.

119 Americans have a unique obsession with Nazis. In Europe, the Nazis have lots of competition and there were many countries where the Communists were much, much worse, and so (I'm talking about the Baltics specifically) their "honored veterans" were in the SS.

More Danes and Dutch died fighting for Germany than against it.

To his credit El Duce was never gung-ho on the Jewish Holocaust IIRC. When the Germans took over in 43 they made up for the lost time because a three front war apparently wasn't enough to do.
