"It's like Christmas but terrifying"

Had me laugh out loud at 4:30 am. Be calm decide now what you will do when. Be prepared. I'm thinking we will be going through a very rough time when Trump wins. Good luck everyone!

Here's an idea for that "Execute Liz Cheney"-thing:

Why not just call it a late abortion? The Democrats and the liberal US media are all-in on post-term abortions, are they not?

Sick humour aside, ravens are impressive birds in all aspects. Clever, sociable, clean, and in equal amount harbinger and messenger. I can usually get a rough estimate of the weather from their behaviour. Never seen one with a white patch though. Hugin (Will, mood, mind) and Munin (Memory, recollection) also comes to mind, of course.

Positive for me is that all the little tweety-birds have gotten so used to me they are /this/ close to landing on me while I'm rummaging about in the feed-bins for chicken-feed (this month it's dried corn, stale bread and assorted veggies from the wife's work).

Small things like that brings great joy.

The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.

For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.

Enjoy the podcast

I didn't vote in this election it is a felony for aliens to cast ballots. I have voted for 58 of my years as a autism spectrum disordered theosophist refugee of the Spanish and Russian Inquisitions who was told 70 years ago by his father that Christopher Columbus was a Basque Jew a Celt like us not a Roman. My Mother of Ukrainian descent came from a family that built synagogues in Crimea when Jesus was not even a concept of a conception. I was told in 2009 after cancer surgery I didn't need any plans after 2011 but I like my chances of suffocating to death while🤣 in 2024. I went to the same schools as Kamala Mamala and Leonard Cohen who led the country band at Westmount High School and dreamed of a career in stand-up comedy. Kamala is adored in a country not called America and French North America is your greatest existential threat. And Kamala didn't really volunteer as a dance instructor she is a member of a Cabal circa 1789 Samuel Johnson's dictionary of the English Language,

Of course it could be that LemonXXX is a hallucinogen not a euphoric or my one good eye sees things that aren't there.

There was only one religion permitted in 1789 in order to serve in public office..

Religion circa 1789 and 2024

https://johnsonsdictionaryonline.com/views/search.php?term=religion

At Westmount High School where everybody knows more about Kamala Mamala then America "Independent" media lets on, Trump is the end of a thousand thousand young dreams.

At Westmount high School this is a one issue election. Race, gender and religion are virtual realities.and its only about sex. In Quebec healthcare, education and welfare are human rights not class privileges. Abortion, IVFs and euthanasia are healthcare not subject to human judgement and Inqisitors like John Torquemada Roberts , Samuel the Lying Liar Alito, Clarence the Clown Thomas, Neil holier than thou Gorsuch, Brett I drank but didn't swallow Kavanaugh and Amy permanently spaced Comey. Citizenship begins at birth and ends at a flatline death certificate and ashes to ashes dust to dust and a time for every season under heaven here in the unholy land of Quebec..

I am not a grouch but grew up in Kamala's neighbourhood and love putting in a u where it upsets 100% of American pedants.😜

I’m going to abstain from all early coverage (yawn), be happy I’ve done my part, remember to eat, and rock out for a good long time.

Of course as a business owner I have to work first because coming back from Helene (no internet for a month = no credit cards = 80% less business) has been massively stressful.

In short, get on with my life and purposefully TAKE A DEEP BREATH because Phase I will be over soon.

So funny about the Ravens! My old place had ravens but more transitory. Up here, in my new place, they seem to have settled down in territory and talk all the time. I love their clacks and squeaks. Some of the tribes up here ascribe language to ravens.

When I was small there was a hardware store that also had pets (mid 60's - no need to hunt them down and swat them,LOL) who had a Myna bird for years in the store. It mostly just chattered but occasionally spoke. My four year old self always wanted to take that Myna home. Nowadays I love seeing how people are associating with corvids. There's some great stuff on youtube with people putting out food puzzles for Crows and Ravens.

Not sure about ravens, but I read recently it's illegal to have a pet crow because of all the nefarious things you can train them to do.

I remember as a little kid at a Chinese Restaurant with family and my grandfather had a whistling contest with the restaurant's Myna bird. I forget who won, but it was fun!

Several hawks are around my place, love seeing them perch and glide around. Lots of owls too but have only seen them twice. The chatter between them is fascinating and I wonder about what they’re saying.

Border collie or Australian Shepherd? Very similar in appearance, although has classic BC coloring.

I’m no expert, but I’ll throw in my opinion…I have a tri-color mini Aussie, black with white collar, that looks very much like that guy but Aussies traditionally have a docked tail. Based on that I’m guessing Border Collie! 🤗 Both breeds are super smart dogs and natural athletes.❤️❤️❤️ Wonderful, wonderful dogs.

border collie. for sure.. damn dogs. showing all of us bull terriers up. if your aussie ( a true American breed. not Australian at all) is a tri. it will have three colors. white black and red ( sometimes called “brown”. and there is no such thing as a “mini aussie”. there is however an American Miniature Shepard ..

Indeed. You are absolutely correct.

I gave up on saying my guy is a “Miniature American Shepherd”…I just don’t have time to educate everyone. 😂😂😂My previous dog was an American Eskimo Dog…I heard over and over again, ”oh! I thought he was an Eskimo Spitz!”🤦‍♀️ I like accuracy very much but the older I get, the less time I have to waste explaining.
