Daily bunny no.3446 is not left-handed

Bunnies re-enact the duel between Inigo and Wesley in "The Princess Bride", with a masked bunny fighting against a dashing shaggy bunny with a gold sword. The masked bunny is cornered, near the edge of a rocky cliffside, but still has a trick up his sleeve

Cheat code for creatives: if you let your personal sadness and genuine soul-deep horniness into your art, it's pretty much immune to being co-opted by modern fascists, who focus mainly on selling a wholesome heartland that they can use as an excuse for violence they'll label as glory.

Daily bunny no.3406 attempts to ford the river

A group of bunnies in old-fashioned attire travel across a stream with their covered wagon. It is drawn by an ox, and the water at it's deepest is near the bunnies' shoulders. The smallest bunny in the party is driving the cart, while the others are wading in the water on either side.

Ever since Katrina the calls to let NOLA drown have increased. The Netherlands reclaimed 1,000 square miles of land by pumping water out of land a dozen feet below sea level. Nobody ever says let Holland vanish. It’s not just climate change sinking New Orleans. It’s also racial capitalism.
