On tour at a raptor rescue center.

Tour goes into their small raptor “play” enclosure, there more to keep them safe from the wild raptors in the area.

They bring in this tiny and adorable kite, it took some offered bits of food(bits of raw meat provided by the center) from us.

Wild Junco(that we previously had not noticed) in the enclosure did not agree about the cuteness of the kite. (It got out unharmed.)

Dude campaigned on “change”. We didn’t know until his victory speech was the standard US exceptionalism and imperialism.

The big factor is that he is a blue dog democrat.

The entire reason Obama selected him as VP was an olive branch to the corporate sellout branch of the Democratic Party who were worried that he was “too progressive”.

Is Spinosaurus basically the dinosaur equivalent of a North American Black Bear?

Evolved from fast dangerous predator into a massive strong thing that can be very dangerous, but 99% of the time eats roots, honey, berries and Salmon(when they are running.)

So he deserves the salary of a senior dev, not a business analyst?

Putin’s leaked position at the start of this(read: take with truck of dubious salt) is that Russia had a potential armed forces pool of 25 million people.

As far as I understand that statement, until he burns through most of that, he likely won’t see himself as losing.

Have to admit its a smart play from the orks.

1. Rebase the western position to your previous position by convincing a narcissistic senile moron to adopt it.

2. Move your new position to complete takeover of Ukraine.

3. Agree to “compromise” on a new agreement that is considerably better for you than your original position.

Becoming more like the US isn’t a good thing here.

Given the whole Bubba thing, not sure that applies.
