Just been cruising through some of these links here. But I wanted to point out some of the insanity in our society concerning President Trump. I know that we are supposed to be civilised, politically correct, sensitivity, etc ... but we have become insane listening to this stuff, by looking at reactions to the President and his illness or whatever, which, like my daughter broght up to me, could be a scam ... no, I wouldn't put anything past Trump. I hear so many in media, including Democratic politicians asking for a speedy recovery, well wishes and prayers for this cocksucker (I guess for politically sensitive reasons, elections, I don't know). Are we that short sighted? Not long some of these same folks were calling him rightfully for what he is, including his racist rants, sexist, being like a dictator, Nazi, etc. and the thousands of deaths that resulted because OF HIM. I heard on the morning news that he was planning on wearing a Superman tee shirt under his shirt, for his strength against corona or whatever. I can't even write on here, or anyone elses blog what I really think about this cocksucker, or wish for him, or would do to him, because of algorithms, because you may not be able to publish it or others, so out of respect, I refrain ... this is how locked down we are on free speech, too ... I sure as Hell do when I talk to folks in my community, these rail corporate communist cocksuckers can't censor that. I mean, I'm not saying they should wish him death or whatever, but at least don't be so f*cken sappy and so full of shit, hypocritical, etc ... and don't even mention the cocksucker. Give him prayers and hope for him to gain strength? ... are we/ they f*cken crazy?! It is fine all day long for these like Trump, the wealthiest people to decide who lives and dies, and be open about it, saying they are killing terrorists, domestic or foreign invasions for oil or whatever, the extreme rich, responsible for killing millions ... but a common person like myself or those in my community are supposed to pray and hope for cocksuckers like Trump and these other billionaires, and we're treated like criminals for being honest, even imprisoning us. I could go on and on, you get the point ... it's stupidity, no wonder we get f*cked by these cocksuckers.
AO3 and their legal team are ready for Disney. Love how gay guys have pwned the Proud Boys!
So many fly references . . .
I don't know if you ever heard the circle fly joke. That was a circle fly on Pence's head. "It's hard to fool them circle flies."

I'm also disappointed that the horse semen research didn't win an https://www.improbable.com/ig-about/winners/ Ig Nobel prize this year. However, Trump, among others, did win one in the field of Medical Education:
"Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, Narendra Modi of India, Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Donald Trump of the USA, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan, for using the Covid-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can."
The Ig Nobel is as close to a Nobel Prize as Trump's going to get.
(Most Ig Nobels are in the vein of this year's acoustic prize: "Stephan Reber, Takeshi Nishimura, Judith Janisch, Mark Robertson, and Tecumseh Fitch, for inducing a female Chinese alligator to bellow in an airtight chamber filled with helium-enriched air.")

Lots of good stuff here today. Mary had a little lamb was informative. I left a comment mentioning that I was surprised Kritika hadn't heard about Mary before. Not that I was picking on Kritika. I was realizing how old I am.
Always enjoy the links you share. And thank you for adding me here. Yes, racism is all over the world. When will we all understand this?
Love that little fly on Pence's head - go Biden/Harris!!! Also appalled by the person dumping crap in your state. How ghastly!
OMG - the skeleton sculpture video was so cool. And the artist....I think I got an cougar crush.
As always, a great read!
I think I'll even go out and get a pumpkin, after looking at those decorations.
And thanks for the Sci-fi-horror blog tip!
XOXO
It will take me DAYS to go through these, but always worth it. I actually do know how to weigh an owl. Or a hawk or an eagle as I have done this numerous times and lived to tell about it. The little owls, saw-whet and screech, are amazingly cute.
Ranch: I care about Trump and his toadies as much as they would care about me -- that is, not at all. I'm careful not to allow anything in the comments here that could be taken as a threat, because that's a mob tactic. The proper way to deal with Trump is to vote him out.
Debra: I hope so. Disney's pretty formidable.
Sam: Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow is one of the few people who actually deserves to have a name like that. And if someone put me in an airtight chamber full of helium I'd probably bellow too.
Mike: It's hard to believe anybody hasn't heard that old rhyme, but I guess some people haven't.
Martha: Glad you've returned to the scene. And yes, most of the world makes the US look like amateurs when it comes to racism.
Lady M: I hope they catch the shit person so we can find out why he's doing it. Toilet doesn't work and he's too cheap to call a plumber? It's amazing how much work went into the skeleton sculpture and how much the subtle details add. And yeah, I noticed he was kind of hot.
Sixpence: Please post pumpkin pics -- it will be a nice addition to the documentation of your residence.
Jono: Glad to give you something to do when you run out of owls to weigh.
pride boys and the fly...yes!!!!
Maybe "Pride Boys and the Fly" should be a rock band.....
That you for adding me to your link round up. I didn't see it before because I've been so busy with Ken.
Mary K: Thanks. I can certainly understand being busy with all that you and Ken have going on.
Don't Talk to the Parrot had me laughing out loud!(lol) Happy Monday! RO
Very cool to see Mary added to your awesome roundup. They have been going through so much. and I was laughing out loud to the Don't Talk to the Parrot" post.(lol)Hope you're doing well. Hugs, RO
