Danny Trejo's son posted on Instagram about his dad's role in "Pawn Shop" and the blowback he has received. kotaku.com/danny-trejo-...

For anyone seeing this shit with my dad.
He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace"
He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.
About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved.
My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that iS, and what kind of guy he is.
My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to.
It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.
Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.

I missed this a couple of days ago. Not surprised this aesthetic appealed to Herr Burger, but I have to wonder if the designer is having a laugh. www.military.com/trump-says-n...

These guys are so close to returning to the shelter for adoption. Sure hope they're adopted together so they can be friends forever.

HALLELUJAH! THEY LEARNED HOW TO EAT FROM A BOWL! Thought this would never happen. They're almost 6 weeks old, so this was later than other kittens I've weaned.

Sorry to hear about Sam Neill this morning. So much good stuff in his career. Most recently watched him in Untamed, which was fantastic. Thank you for so much great media, Sam.

It is the time of year to find birds in weird places. Today, found a Starling that fledged into a commercial storage space when ceiling insulation broke open. Got this little one outside, placed under the entrance to the nest. Hoping you make it to the skies soon, little buddy.

European Starling fledgling. These birds are considered invasive to VA and as such cannot be rehabbed.
This guy is old enough to be out of the nest, and the parents would feed on the ground at this stage.

I have a graphic novel for this I've had since I was a real little kid. It's amazing I managed to hang on to this across so many years and 6 different states. My favorite segment was the meteor one and my sister's was the roaches.

When you work in vetmed, you have to have a lot of uncomfortable conversations about grim diagnotic findings and options for treatment and whether or not to treat at all. Making that call to my partner about our own cat, Ed, was a new experience and much more difficult to do.

So, this happened last night at our house. Spilled water on the foster cat and she exploded into smaller versions of herself. Now we have 8 weeks of kitten bliss.

All of the snails in our clinic aquarium have gathered in the center. Pretty sure there's a snail orgy going on right now.

I seem to have the most affinity for herders. It may or may not be because of the neurosis.

He's very well balanced and not at all crazy.

Just got this message from home. Dog problems.

I just watched mushin start scratching his ruff with his foot. Stop abruptly. Smell the foot. Recoil. Look at me. And then lay down with a sigh.

I did this kind of backwards, I guess, mostly as a kid: grew up in a birding family that traveled specifically to view migratory birds. Helped growing up in a stop along both the Central and Mississippi flyways. Now mostly view birds from our feeders. Bsky birds is definitely a highlight.
