Ridley Scott’s Alien walkthrough, part three.
But, thankfully, not her genes.
As long as books are allowed, in a heartbeat.
For the cost of a bag or two of Cheetos . . .
Stupid babies!
Stupid adults. There’s a reason to learn to be wary of snakes. Standing around gushing about how babies aren’t afraid of the snake among them speaks to a naivetè regarding the world and its dangers.
Cow eating a snake: cow, deer, other herbivores will eat a small animal if they can get one, such as bird eggs or baby birds, because their diet is low in both calcium and protein. They will chew on old bones too.
Fetch.
Perhaps a broken jaw would help.
For context, the chap was filming, from a distance, the crackheads in Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, I believe.

The word of the day is “Flensing”.
New Thing-You-Mustn’t-Say just dropped.
Please update your files and lifestyles accordingly.
The gene pool breathes a sigh of relief.

Is ‘baa’ still on?
Why do they always feel the need to publicly announce these things?
It’s almost as if it’s really about the public show.
It’s encouraging, In a way, to know that disingenuous idiots aren’t the exclusive province of the coastal United States.
Well then, what the hell did the farmer in the dell take? Hi ho, the derry o.
How is an honest descriptive a ‘stereotype’? It’s as if these people are eager to erase women, and their no-woke-approved choices, yet again.
Timothy Treadwell would like a word. Timothy…Timothy…? Oh, that’s right…
Pictures or it didn’t happen.
The fact that Freddie de Boer writes for Unherd explains a great deal of that site’s decline..
Let the mockery continue
I’m just going to leave this here, I think.
I think that first guy might have done some time.
[ Sudden doubts about what goes on during deer hunting season ]
Interlude.
Better than being chased by a sentient bubble.
Please raise your hand if you’re surprised.
If, perchance, you should go, do try the omelette.
Something to keep in mind. Thanks.
This keeps happening: Arrested 13 times, but not deported.
Bukele will take him for a fee.
How about we use the number of convictions as exponents for the distance of the plane above the ground – 10¹ for the first conviction, 10² for the second, 10³ for the third, &c., &c.?

[ Peers out of window, sees no snow. ]
Almost disappointed now.
But surely these vulnerable men are merely misunderstood and just need another chance to get their lives on track?
This whole winter season, my weather app has reported that it’s snowing or raining where I am, and I look outside and nuthin’.
Drives me crazy.
Yep. The weather app and various local news sites warned of eight hours of snowfall overnight, hence my heroic gritting efforts. This morning, not a bean. And now the grit may be washed away by a light drizzle this afternoon. Before snow arrives, possibly, some time on Tuesday.
[ Shakes fist at heavens. ]
Attention, lesbians. I bring good news.
Charming head-tilts.
