I like duck. Hard to find, I have had more success at the butcher finding rabbit. I have slightly weird tastes, it would be easier for me to find, say, an eland or wilderbeest steak in this country. I had a (terrible) pizza in London that featured duck. Would not recommend. ---

That said, she has millions of fans (multiple-millions actually), she is an actual billionaire ( not phony Rump style ‘John Baron’ billionaire ), she has her own security team, she has a team of attorneys that can use to make sure any internet goombahs who threaten her get a nice day in court, and (if europe was any example) people in three letter agencies are actively paying attention to her welfare. I’d be tempted to ask anyone daring to threaten her or go after her, “Just how stupid Are you…?” ---

Multiple Republican congressmen and senators sent out tweets yesterday honoring the “2,996 lives lost” in the 9/11 attacks. There were only 2,977 victims. The other nineteen included in the death count were the hijackers themselves.

For context, the sign is based on Chik-Fil-A’s ad campaign that had cows painting “EET MOAR CHIKKIN” on billboards. At least the kittens spell better than the cows. ---

MAGA Twitter (which includes JD Vance) are still going all out on the pets being eaten nonsense. I suspect they mistake all the libs laughing at them and poking fun as “liberal tears” or “being triggered.” My favorite thing right now is reminding them the police were the ones who said it wasn’t happening. So I accuse them of no longer Backing the Blue. I do start to wonder if I’m enjoying this too much.
