And then when I put the keets (we call them "the littles") to bed, I talk to them and tell them I love them and the cockatoo goes nuts with jealousy, tweeting his head off and giving me huge kissy sounds. Irene Pepperberg trained her famous African Grey, Alex, using the rival-challenge model - more

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

The birds have night-night routines. The cockatoo goes to "brush teeth" with his dad at 7 p.m. He understands that "brush teeth" means going into the bathroom with dad. He loves to sit on the faucet while his dad brushes his teeth. Then he willingly goes into his cage for the night. Right now, he

THIS is America's Mayor!

The ghost of the Little Flower is living in Mayor Mamdani.

Is Blanche going to go after George, Thomas, Abe, and Teddy?

This Republicunt needs to STFU.

It is only a threat if it is seashells on a beach in North Carolina.

1. They said they don't want to talk anymore. 2. They didn't tell us they didn't want to talk anymore. 3. That's OK, we don't want to talk anymore, either. 4. The talks will go on. Proceeding at a rapid pace.

People are saying this song is AI. Just this once, I'll make an exception.

Fortunately, we will be out of the country on the 4th of July. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWtt...

There is a very good Medium article by a very smart man named Chris Armitage. Problem is that people read maybe his headline and a sentence or two and jump to conclusions. There is social media BS going around saying that Clarence Thomas has been charged with tax evasion in Virginia. That is NOT

Time to go into my memories box and pull out the black armband.

Just received our ballots. I will NOT use the U.S. mail to return them. I will use a dropbox but only AFTER the early voting polls open on June 11. The boxes are monitored 24/7 by camera - so they can catch someone who tampers with them. That doesn't really solve the problem if your ballot was

Upper and lower decks swept, washed, and ready to re-stain as soon as the wood is dry enough. Railings washed. Will get waxed today. Progress. Next up: resealing the grout on the kitchen floor. After that - sorting the chaos in the work/storage room. To dream the impossible dream...

Over the years, we've had several snakes in our yard (black snakes and garter snakes, plus the tiny DeKay's brown snake). Now we have mice in our garden shed. Where are the snakes when you need them?

And think of Mother England (what Victorian women were told about having to endure carnal relations). As we Americans are getting fucked... just close your eyes and think of Mother England.

Even crypto is a better bet that Musk's SpaceX:

Republicunt tears over a typo. That's why she's crying about.

Lying or dementia. Take your pick.

Whenever there was a sale on light bulbs, my father would buy a couple dozen. Hence, part of my inheritance was 3 boxes of incandescent light bulbs. Which are used only in the laundry room and the storage room. Out they go.

How is it that no one has suggested resuming work-from-home at least 2-3 days per week to help employees deal with the increasing price of gasoline?

TFW you are watching a show filmed and shown in 2026. Lead characters = 2 forensic pathologists, 2 forensic scientists, and 2 cops. Suspect appears in two videos. He admits to one but not the other, and they are baffled. I AM YELLING AT THE SCREEN DEEP FAKES YOU STUPID FUCKS. FIRE YOUR WRITERS.

Word that should be banned from the English language. Or certainly from social media. Bombshell. If your post includes this word, I won't bother to read it.

I am still shocked that Trump didn't say to Xi, "here's my price for letting Chinese cars into the U.S. market." Or maybe he did but they just couldn't settle on the price.

Cockatoos. He loses interest in eating the red rice we gave him, even though he lovesit. I moved it to a different plate, a few inches away. He gobbled it down.

Thiel departing for Argentina is in no way significant. His influence is deeply embedded in the U.S. government. He'll just telecommute. Evil knows no borders.

It terrifies me that the Fat Orange Fuckface is going to headline Freedom 250. He is going to incite his mob to attack the Capitol again, and they will probably also go after the memorials and federal buildings.

🤣

Is the war not over again today?

Well, the slippery slope has appeared on NOTUS. Now you have to register to read articles. We all know what comes next. The paywall. Meanwhile, lots and lots of emails.

Yesterday my post about not being able to afford gas to drive to the grocery store evolved into a discussion about how people in other countries can walk to a grocery store. I have travelled to forty-one countries including Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and Europe. In every one of them,

Republicunt Susie has bad aim.

You know who describes a country as "hot?" Someone who wants to rape that country.

If I tried this, he'd take my hand off. When his dad does it, he loves it.

Liberace won't play Freedom 250.

Lawrence Welk is a no-go for Freedom 250.

Is AI great or what?

Auto-tune just pulled out of Freedom 250.

Secretary of State, President of Venezuela, CEO of Anthropic, Head of USAID, Shah of Iran, and now Headliner for Trump’s 250 Chodebration, Marco Polio Rubio, is going to have a busy summer.

Ripped off from The Far Side, but Gary Larson would probably approve.
