The Hungarian anti-gay politician caught fleeing a gay orgy... It's nice to know right-wingers across the globe are consistent in making every accusation a confession and it's not just an American anomaly. I also enjoyed the Daily Show's take on Matt Gaetz, which I won't repeat.

Since swimming comes first in most triathlon, Iā€™m pretty sure the shark wins if his human opponent fails to show for the other rounds. šŸ˜‰

The animal ones are my favorites. That bird is smarter and has more common sense than all of the Republicans, combined. I'm totally the panda in the swing and the dog with the new legs....my heart.

Saw a great PBS special (Nature?) some years ago about the intelligence of Corvids - crows and ravens. They are outright amazing!

My best friend lives in Israel and just got married there over the summer. I was just there. I'm worried and heartbroken for her.

But this did help a little, so thank you. šŸ’œ

I suddenly want a baby hippo. I am blaming you, Jay. That's my story and I am sticking with it.

The problem with baby hippos is the same as for kittens and puppies - they grow up. You do NOT want an adult hippo in your life.

No sh*t! I have a couple of hippo tusks that a distant cousin gave to my father, collected in Ethiopia in the early decades of the 20th century. Not sure what to do with them as I believe they are now among the wildlife items barred from importation and sale. Same for two ivory sculptures given to my grandfather by a Belgian friend from the Belgian Congo (1930s).

Some low level Air Force kid shares classified information with his online group - heā€™s arrested immediately. Former president uses classified information as social currency - nothing. Heā€™s reportedly ahead in the polls for the GOP. Why isnā€™t he in cuffs? Itā€™s infuriating.

Then there is the couple who were sentenced in November 2022 to 19+ years for seeking to sell classified info regarding U.S. nuclear warships. Mentioned by Heather Cox Richardson in her Letter of 10/5/23.

I so appreciate your last-minute note! It is exactly how I feel! So concerned and terrified at the thought of all the civilian lives that will upended or extinguished in this awful war. It breaks my heart.

If you hadn't sworn to it, Jay, I would never have believed that the auto tune video was for real. It is just both too precious and too sinister, at the same time! šŸ¤Æ
