They’re also nocturnal.

#AI

Two panel cartoon (unknown artist).

First panel: human hand holding out a spotted red mushroom to a doughboy-like abstract figure labeled (“AI”). Human asks “Is this mushroom edible?” AI answers “Yes!”

Second panel: Same AI figure standing in front of a gravestone that reads “RIP.” AI figure says “You’re right — that mushroom was poisonous. I’m sorry for the confusion! Would you like to learn more about poisonous mushrooms?”

Drop a lawyer

A scene from the black and white film “Inherit the Wind” where Spencer Tracy is in court questioning a witness.

Troppo was following me around while I was checking out the house for air leaks or insulation problems… #husky

You from a different era: Deputy Twink.

Unbelievably young looking version of me from 1992 in uniform as a deputy sheriff in Cobb County, Georgia.

Half-orc barbarian with childhood trauma from a demon-hunt gone wrong who is a size queen for two-handed weapons and who has a fetish for taking trophies from notable enemies and turning them into daily wear.

Drawing of half-orc barbarian wearing a fur cape, fire-and-ice bone necklace, and a black and red silk scarf — all of which were trophies taken from notable slain enemies.

🔥🔥🔥. And exactly right. Also, I’m kinda stanning the use of the em dashes here. This is some excellent writing.

Screen shot of second page of Plaintiffs’ filing. Highlighted is the text: “Its request for an extension — filed this morning in defiance of the Court’s rules requiring consultation with Plaintiffs’ counsel— is another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty. It did not take that time to ponder whether to remove Garcia — which it effectuated within 72 hours of his unlawful seizure— and it does not need that time to comply with this Court’s and the Supreme Court’s rulings.”

Not exactly kittens, but the same general principle.

Me, lying across a bed but barely visible because I am covered and surrounded by five Siberian huskies who look very pleased with themselves.

Ouch. 🔥🔥

Highlighted quote from the opinion: “As defendants’ many citations to Article II of the United States Constitution imply, there is an Article 1.”

This is Moto as a pup. He remains skeptical, but can pick up ALL the distant stations.

Yep. Huskies will absolutely do their own thing, no matter how weird.

Mornings with the #husky pack, while I’m trying to make #coffee. Coffee, you see, means I’m going to get a can of whipped cream out of the fridge. And a husky pack is why there’s usually four or five cans in there. 😒 #DogsOfBlueSky
