Spending 41 minutes deliberating and then deciding to kill two men clinging to the debris of their boat is nothing more or less than premeditated murder. There is no rationale that justifies this. There is no magic sequence of words or arguments that excuses it. It was cold-blooded murder.

A quote from an Axios story about a raccoon that got trashed at a North Carolina store that reads: "Why it matters: The intoxicated suspect was a raccoon."

I always think my dog doesn’t realize how big she is until she doesn’t want to move and goes full deadweight. Baby girl is fully aware.

There's a special day called National Opossum Day! Some people say it is on October 17th and some say it's on October 18th. To me, that means we get two whole days! So, I've decided that since you can't give me any treats like Mama is, tell me your most interesting opossum fact or story! And GO! 💙
