doggoes kitties open thread

Merry Christmas, if you’re into that sort of thing!

Hope you all are having a lovely day today, whatever this day means to you (or doesn’t). Consider this an open thread, to discuss whatever, from presents to politics to cats to whatever holiday stress you might be feeling.

And here’s some stuff I found on the Twitter.

— David, who is hanging in there

We inherit the traumas of our parents, and pass them onto our children.

Be good to one another. No one else is going to.

Some sage advice, here

Thank you, Scildfreja

Feels like being in the maternity waiting room. 😛

Yeah – I’m old enough that the cartoon was a reality for the first two.

Eep, I hope everything’s okay with your cats – if she’s still in labour by now, I’d seriously suggest calling a vet. o.O;

And in other news, British Trumpists just tried to lynch the mayor of London.

Completely unsurprisingly, the model the leader of UKIP ran away from his missus to be with is quite impressively racist. Impressively enough so, that UKIP has suspended her from the party.

Note: Link is to the Mirror, so don’t click if you’re at work, in the presence of children, or feeling the slightest bit cheerful.

SFHC,

My favorite quote

“Khan took a drink of water, sat down and looked at the men. He said nothing.”

I haven’t watched the video but I’m picturing this is accompanied by one of those withering contemptuous gazes Brits are always so good at. Love it

The UKIP prefers members to keep their racism on the down low, buried under dogwhistles and knowing winks.

True. They’re pretty good at the nudge nudge, wink wink bit.

Although her attacking the royal family might have had some effect too.

@Skiriki: So sorry to hear about the kitten who didn’t make it. I hope the mother is OK.

Got bored, so took a peek at what Dean Esmay (remember him?) is up to. He’s still fucking that MGTOW chicken – got a video up on Sandman as his latest post, but seems more involved in bashing atheists at the moment.

Didn’t watch it – said I’m sound sensitive and his video sound (never mind the content) invariably makes me want to feed him to sharks.

Dean Esmay is still around?

Huh.

Wonder what Davis Aurini and Matt Forney are up to.

Carisma is quite normal right now, yet there is no second kitten in sight.

We have no idea if there is!

She is just giving suggestions there might be but… yeah.

Trump’s base: None dare call them deplorables. (Because if you do, they get really, really mad and call you a libtard and it’s just so effin’ boring. Deplorables, get some new new insults!!!!1!!)

Conservative writer: Trump called friends to brag about ‘s—hole countries’ remark
By Rebecca Savransky – 01/14/18 12:23 PM EST

A conservative columnist said President Trump called friends to brag after the meeting in which the president reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries.”

“It’s weird that people in the room don’t remember Trump using that word when Trump himself was calling friends to brag about it afterwards,” Erick Erickson, who has in the past been critical of Trump, said in a tweet.

“I spoke to one of those friends. The President thought it would play well with the base.

The President thought it would play well with the base.

I don’t often say that Trump is right but, yeah. Stopped clocks and all.

In other news, I saw I, Tonya last night and really recommend it. You don’t have to be a figure skating fan or anything to appreciate it. If you like darkly funny and snarky and/or Allison Janney, this is the film for you.

I was somewhat skeptical because I thought Margot Robbie is too conventionally attractive or at least too skinny to pull off playing Tonya Harding and I hate all the beautywashing (is that a word?) that goes on when Hollywood puts out a biopic. But she did a great job.
