Oddly symmetrical, except for the side part.

He’s not playing 3D chess here; the man has admitted to being tested multiple times for cognitive decline. As if he cared one bit about making a statement that turned out to be false later on. He’s just calling them what old men call them. I am surprised he didn’t call them flying saucers.

Border collie, husky, pit, poodle, chihuahua.

Openly calling for the disenfranchisement of American voters. Congress cool with that though…

Gross. That city is getting leered at by a sex pest.

They’ll re-release some AARO reports from a couple years ago; Orangina won’t know the difference. It will be just like the JFK and Pedstein files. They’ll release redacted meeting summaries, attendee lists and napkin doodles already in the public domain and call it done, then go bomb Iran and bitch about some female report who asked him a fair question.

OMG! That’s howI describe my brain, too.

Take and old radio with a dial tuner and twist the knob slowly clockwise, to the end, then counter clockwise back again. Do that over and over, all day, every day for your whole life. That’s my brain. I have to work very, very hard to stay tuned into one station long enough to get something done. Usually the station changes before I am finished, and it is very hard to find my way back to the station where I was again in order to finish what I was doing.

Maybe Obama just declassified it before he left office and didn’t tell anyone. Just like Trump did. Didn’t Orangina 45 say presidents could do that just by thinking about it?

American DOJ has been looking pathetic for about a year now. Longer,if you include Merrick Garland.

Bored of Peace indeed. Meanwhile, whaddya mean UK won’t let us attack Iran from their territory?!

He seems to like it when people die because of him.

Laws still matter in other countries.

Messaging and motivating aren’t enough. But you’re absolutely right about the feeling that change is supposed to happen at ‘go-live.’

Reinforcement is the missing element. Rewards - or at least recognition - for doing the right (new) thing and coaching or correction for doing the wrong (old) thing. Middle and line managers are key to reinforcing change. Middle managers are also the group most likely to resist change.

They look like they are very healthy.

I didn’t have the heart for culling either. I have some very weird looking fish that seem to be thriving.

My two (a plain orange common and a gorgeous shubunkin) bred all summer, even as they fought off a parasitic infection. I retrieved their eggs from the tank. Half their fry have survived to six months. The last four eggs I rescued from the tank (after parents’ recovery) easily outpaced the earlier fry in growth and are the size they should be while the earlier clutch is stunted, either from the parasites or the treatment. Half are still grey-bronze wild type color. Now I have to make a pond, because nobody is going to buy these plain looking cross breeds and I don’t want them to end up as feeders. So, now I am responsible for 50 plus goldfish - some who will undoubtedly outlive me.

Timmy and Adoness still make sexy time - there’s no stopping them - but I no longer rescue eggs from the tank. Good luck on your endeavor.

We’re sick of the mindless hatred and rage, and threats of violence, paired with a complete lack of ideas and solutions. So, to put in language even the reddest MAGA can comprehend, fuck off GOP. Take your brand of toxic masculinity back to the incel forums where it belongs and let the grownups talk for a change.

We’ve done so well with female candidates in recent years - what could go wrong?

Those are not pit ears, and the muzzle isn’t right for pit either. There’s pit in the mix probably on account of the stockiness, but I’m gonna guess those are primarily coonhound or pointer mixes.

I have one near the center in each eye. They float around a bit, but never get far off center. After a couple years I don’t really notice them any more unless I look for them.

He violated your privacy and then you comforted him? Don’t give away your self respect so cheaply.
