Nommy-nommy-nom.
Oddly disturbing.
Not to mention the sympathetic groin pain experienced when she takes the first bite.
Oh and futanari came to mind when she pulled the shell open. Trust me don’t google it especially at work.
Hers is bigger than yours.
My brother kept some kestrels, hoping to train them for falconry, when we were teens. Never got to this stage.
Helen Macdonald’s book ‘H is for Hawk’ is a fairly remarkable account of her relationship with a hawk.
It has four bedrooms and a room full of sand.
Showed that to the wife. Before we make an offer we need to know…do the current owners have cats?
Sisterhood
From that, this comment:
I don’t know if that person was serious or not but either way…stupid, stupid world.
Doing it for science
That wasn’t as naked as I thought it would be.
Homina, homina, homina, St. Greta, sans script.
“Hers is bigger than yours.”
Steller’s sea eagle. Not, amazingly, the biggest eagle in the world!
And seconding TimT – it’s a wonderful book.
Behold young love, it’s a precious thing.
It’s like Shakespeare. 🙂
Morning, all.
It’s like Shakespeare. 🙂
Pretty much. All hope and tragedy is there.
Tiny toilet drums.
They’re excited about the new logo.
St. Greta, sans script.
The left have got it very wrong on Thunberg. They think she’s a hero. They just can’t – or don’t want to – see that it’s not ethical to put children in that position – as a public representative of a global protest movement and the figure of worldwide media attention.
The right have made mistakes as well; for instance it was hardly helpful of my Aussie comrade Helen Dale to joke that Greta should be questioned so hard on media to make her ‘cry’, and I have made a similar jest or two in the past. But by God. If you truly and honestly think that children should not be discouraged from doing what Thunberg is doing then there may be no help for you.

World’s most exciting stationary company logo.

– The Pacific Geoduck. Wikipedia calls it ‘a large edible saltwater clam’; not so sure about the “edible”…
not so sure about the “edible”…
It doesn’t make the mouth water, no.

[ Writes down naked trampolining. ]
There’s got to be a Tumblr.
Re the Greta Thunberg phenomenon…
That time in 1992 when the UN wheeled out 13-year-old Severn Suzuki, who had come 5,000 miles at her own expense “to tell you adults you must change your ways”.

The comment thread is full of environmentalists claiming “nothing has changed”, as if that supports their position. If she was right, surely the climate would have changed rather more drastically in the last 27 years?
It doesn’t make the mouth water, no.
Well, it does slightly, the sort of salivation you experience right before emesis.
shudder…gag
It occurs to me that somewhere out there someone is now Googling naked trampolining.
It has four bedrooms and a room full of sand.
A graveyard for vacuum cleaners, I expect.
Otherwise, I would bid.
Discharges of note.
Not what I was expecting (happily).
WTP
I saw the technology to prevent person on track deaths in Moscow forty years ago. The platform has doors that line up with the train doors and both open together, like an elevator. I assume other cities have them?

AI learning…..quite scary.
I thought Michael Crichton’s book “Prey” was improbable to say the least. But after seeing that clip I’m reconsidering.
After reading David’s blog again, I’m starting to prefer the euglenoids to humans now.
This is an interesting thread, especially considering the perennial Dalrymple quote on gaslighting and humiliation that is oft-quoted here:

Yeah, I get that. It may not be a terribly hard problem to solve, per se. And per the wiki, it appears it has been addressed in various ways. My eye-rolling was more in regard to the “we” in “You’d think that we would develop technology for this to be prevented”. It’s so pathetic and all so typical. Somebody should do something. No thoughts to costs or engineering concerns or common sense or getting crazy people off the streets. Now that we see that somebody has done something, alert the lawyers! There’s money to be “made”.
Now what I think someone should do is get naked trampolining into the Olympics. WTH, damn near every other stupid idea is a medal event. Excepting of course, cross country running. Because that would be dumb, right?
It occurs to me that somewhere out there someone is now Googling naked trampolining.
Yes and you might find this. The compelling story of Lars the Health and Safety Officer at the Topless Female Trampolining World Championship.
He’s making the rest of us look bad.
[Reads story] You know, I’m perfectly fine with that.
Not all of us can be leaders like him.
And finally, as situations go, it left some room for improvement.
I’m still trying to work out what the hell happened.

It’s a lot to take in, what with the out-of-control chainsaw and huge chunks of tree falling out of the sky. I suspect there’s some kind of lesson to be learned.
Now that the “OK” hand sign is officially rayciss, here are some more.
Nommy-nommy-nom.
Not to mention how disturbing it is to see someone eat an animal, bite by bite, while it is alive.

As we’ve seen, it’s not without its hazards.

David, is that what lurks within your Mark I Correction Booth?
“Incoming enrichment.”
But don’t dare call it an invasion.
“251 words you can spell with a calculator.”
Some surprisingly long ones in there. I must have been too busy snickering at 5318008 as a kid* to notice.
*And ever since, let’s be honest here.

“The Nightmare of the Fisherman’s Wife”, a lesser-known work by Hokusai.
That time in 1992 when the UN wheeled out 13-year-old Severn Suzuki…
Yes, add child abuse to David Suzuki’s long list of moral transgressions.
You’d expect his daughter, who is now 40-years-old, would forever walk shame-faced since none of her stated fears from 27 years ago have come true. But cognitive dissonance is such that she continues to sell the same old garbage. The only thing that has changed is she has hypenated her last name to Cullis-Suzuki (Cullis being her mother’s surname.)
a lesser-known work by Hokusai.
DO NOT google that at work.
DO NOT google that at work.
Yeah. Great. NOW you tell me.
Oh.
Farnsworth, I don’t think that article goes nearly far enough. Forget hand signals, and consider:
Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table.
Atmospheric oxygen comes as a two-atom molecule. Two 8s = 88.
88, as everyone knows, is a neo-Nazi code for HH = Heil Hitler.
So while the Wokerati are obsessing over the OK hand symbol, they’re literally breathing in hate-molecules _every few seconds_. They need to stop it RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!
breathing in hate-molecules
Album title …
Brits, is a Rockingham-brand teapot really all that much better than any other teapot?
It’s all about the wording…
They’re excited about the new logo.
When it’s a corporate event, so the audience HAS to clap!
“However woke you are, it’s not good enough“
“However woke you are, it’s not good enough”
You’d think there’d come a point at which the people being targeted in this way would realise, belatedly, that their super-woke peers are just really awful people. And that wokeness is both an attempt at camouflage and a means of inflicting harm and exulting in it publicly. In short, that wokeness attracts malice – and the kinds of people one should pointedly avoid.
From foot patrols and flying Apaches in Afghanistan to this, what the hell happened to Harry ?

Get woke, become joke.
Get woke, become joke.
Yeah, I can sort of see getting wokeish to act royal and atone for his past rowdy ways and marrying a (spit) commoner (and a ‘Murkan divorcee at that), but I don’t get doing it in such a fantastically silly way, unless it is some sort of Battenberg curse.
