It's like Sauron did to the elves, turning them into orcs. These people are going to have to live like that for the rest of their lives. They'll need something like a leper colony for them.

And build a twenty foot tall fence around Fetterman.

As an American, I'm envious. Enjoy, and think of us in the US, unwilling captives of a senile madman.

Hey, Josh. I can't wait. The two of you are going to have such fun. Just like having a human baby, this is a great opportunity for you to show how much patience and love is inside you. 👍

The Victorian period is associated with a lot of stuffiness and pretentiousness, and so it might have been in the so-called "upper classes", but the art and literature it produced has proved itself pretty durable. The book covers and artists you show us really give ample proof of that. Thanks.

Right away I thought "Steve, you monster, that's the whole point. Or haven't you been listening. You're next."

I'm glad for each of you. Keep exposing her to new things and you'll make both of your lives richer. 👍

It's pretty sick to brag about doing such a shameful act. If that's what Christian Nationalists think is praiseworthy, they better turn in their party cards as christians.

America's dictator is accomplishing one good thing- showing nations and their peoples where their actual priorities lie and drawing lines in the sand over being taken for granted. We'll come out of this, all of us, stronger and better.

I'm from the US and I hope Canadians stick to the boycott for two reasons. It's good for Canada and its people, and because by being firm and open about it they are proving that they are still our allies and the allies of freedom. Vive le Canada !

The humble grilled cheese is a real mainstay for me. Imagination and thinking outside of the box can make it a delicacy though. The absolute necessity to make it work is good bread. I like mine well done, almost but not complete charred, and crispy.👍

That's pretty funny. A perfect dog paddle.

You ARE rich. Full of merit and good karma. Which can't be said about some who have tons of mere money. And you're actually doing what so many of us wish WE could do. 👍

That looks like the beginning of the well known but seldom observed land-bound otter mating ritual. Steve is showing that he's willing to make a nest (maybe) as long as it's fairly near the pub (absolutely). Someone should clue him into the fact that marriage is not what it's cracked up to be.

If what Israel is doing in Palestine isn't ethnic cleansing and murder based on racism, then nothing is. The definition should just be removed from dictionaries and documents all over the world. The Islamic world is rightly outraged by what is going on and Zach Polanski speaks the truth.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

That works actually. I don't know if you're familiar with Airedale terriers. I've had five of them as "rescues". They are all so similar in appearance that it seems it has been the very same dog for over twenty-five years. Their personalities have all been different, and I have loved them immensely.

Mary, I've been following your career for a long time and you have a lot to be proud of in your work for us. You're going to win this election.

I'm a Jew, and happy in my life because of it. But I loathe the Israeli government for their continued policy of randomly murdering, raping and torturing the men women and children of Palestine and selling their homeland to America's dictator. It will be a long time before I support Israel again.

People who take art and literature seriously are more aware of those early precursors in popularizing the romantic aspects of the American South, but popular culture digestors who are exposed only to mass culture products are generally unaware of those films as well as other productions.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It's really depressing to think that their older brothers or their fathers inculcated that kind of outlook, but it's true. It's one of the awful truths about life in this country, and probably also true in a whole lot of other places too.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

We can laugh about it, but the fact is that he's selling off our country a bit at a time to almost anyone with cash. I think he should be removed.

Go to your nearest Sal's and you can find one. Also, If Steve becomes really persistently annoying, I have three in my garage. Somehow, I can never throw them away. But, I will leave two of them on my doorstep in case you're in my neighbourhood. Give Steve only broccoli this week. No more shrimp.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I think that this all started when television started airing productions like HeeHaw, Green Acres, Grand Ole Opry, and shows like them. Mainstreaming the sentiments in them made them normal, not aberrant. Rehabilitating Southern "culture" by humor was a gateway drug to legitimizing ignorance.

She must have leather underparts. It probably wasn't even noticed by her.

Read a nice story about that, Death and the Librarian, by Esther Friesner. I read it about once a year ( for the last ten or twelve years).

I've cut out a lot of people who are Trump supporters. Well, I guess not a whole lot. They did lose all credibility for me. If they were that dumb, I don't even want to be in the same room with them. How do I know they wouldn't set the room on fire.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Canadians, stay home for a while. I love you all, but there's nothing here that you don't have better where you live. Don't foolishly waste your money here. Florida, especially, is no place for independent people. It's a fascist state.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I remember listening to my father's voice. I loved him. After the first few minutes, I didn't hear any words, just the voice. The content was the voice.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I agree. But............... seeing the turn-arounds on the before and after , people can see what needs to be done, and that there actually ARE people who do the work. Animals are not things. We need to see the rescues. Thanks for all you do. I've had six dogs, all rescues.

Isn't that a wonderful aroma ? Mine's almost there. About a week more I think. Nice job.

When my dog, lucy, does that , I like to think that it's a meeting of equals. We're both good with that. Just as you are.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

You can buy challah in stores, or even in good bakeries, but nothing in the world compares to fresh challah, fresh from your own oven. There's a lot going on there. It's a traditional food, you know it's good, and your own labor and time has produced a real treat. Congrats ! Mazel tov.

I hope the new girlfriend is having fun with this pup. You were smart (and kind) enough to pick the right one. Any girl who'd leave you over something like that isn't to be trusted anyway.

Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That message is lost on the white christian nationalists in the red states, who have the lowest levels of education in the fifty states. Starting with Louisiana. Go look.

We will pursue them even after their death.

Bobby, you're right on this one. At least a background of ferns and pines. Much more appropriate to your nature. And yellow isn't a good colour for you either. Nevertheless, yer mom is a good mom and she does take you lots of good places. A small price to pay for love.

And if the public had an opportunity to confront the fuhrer in the same way you'd see that there is nothing different between him and these cast iron liars. He's on autopilot most of the time when he's not nodding off in the middle of conversations.

I have remediated the headphones and the satisfaction was better than sex. You can be using good headphones for hours and hours, especially when listening to Philip Glass.
