The opossum I’ve had to remove from my house gently resisted being picked up and that’s it. I wore gardening gloves to avoid an accidental scratch and had my wife carry a box below it in case I lost my grip, but it was all unnecessary. The little guy/girl wasn’t too concerned about being carefully carried outdoors.
And yes, opossums are ABSOLUTELY adorable.
My parents had a zebra when I was in my teens. Northern California but born on a zebra farm in Texas.
I never got within 10 feet of that jumped up donkey, but got to be woken up by its braying every single morning. Only my dad was able to interact with it. I think it was traumatized by the 33 hour trip from Texas to us, but you never know.
Wow.
I’ve been lucky enough to interact with a rescue skunk. It was basically a disinterested cat… sniffed my hand a bit then wandered off.
The rescue possum was quite a bit more nervous. Oddly much more so than the one I had to remove from my house (got in through a previously unseen hole under my kitchen sink).
The Dogg Zzone and Bigfeets.
Both absurd comedy by Cracked alum Robert Brockway, Seanbaby and Jason Pargin (the latter only for Bigfeets). Just a Patreon plug and nothing more.
I’m behind on my listening, but this is a top tier podcast!
Information dense but delivered in such an engaging format.
It’s a watch along podcast for quite possibly the lowest depths of US reality TV, Mountain Monsters.
Their other podcast The Dogg Zzone 9000 is at least as funny, though it is dependent upon which cursed media artifact from the wrong dimension which they’re reviewing.
I’ve really been enjoying it!
Almost TOO detailed and well researched, but I think that’s more on me for listening to her masterful work as distraction while doing other things.
Ah, the classic Gravity Falls defense. I use it all the time ;)
One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.
But… he created a factory whose sole purpose is to release more monsters into the world!!!
Also, there are new Monster Factory videos :)
Worsening in Israel. Not the two faced AIPAC fueled support they have now, but fully empowered to destabilize the entire region and genocide with even more glee. Ghastly butchery on display, not as an attempt to shame the administration, but to boast.
Complete withdrawal of Ukranian aid. Naked support for Russian incursion wherever they see fit.
Pulling out of NATO as well as any other meaningful international consortiums.
Worsening relations with ally nations
No clue here. But if even 10% of his domestic threats are enacted, bad times.
EDIT: my rambling screed ignored the question, sorrey.
They will be the ‘enemy within’. And treated like leftists have been for a long time here. All without the street cred to back it up.
It defined a genre. And had some pretty advanced concepts for the time (the first game I played with right-click help pop-ups).
It’s still being worked on, mostly via Caster of Magic. The ‘reboot’ is OK, but a bit too slavish in copying the UI issues.
Or I could just play some sweet Master of Magic (DOS version)… a game so beloved it’s still getting actively modded some 30 years later!
I have such a ridiculous backlog to play. Such guilt.
Same boat here my friend.
1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.
With all that, still the best $20 I’ve ever spent in 43 years of gaming.
They’ve gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.
Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.
Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance… 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).
Valheim was amazing. But it’s faltered so badly in the past 2 years that I’m just sad. Very sad.
Sorrey I missed you question about her radicalization.
It stemmed from separation anxiety due to her mother working while she was young. Which metastasized into a hatred of women in the workforce. Ironic given how much she worked with men who viewed her as nothing more than a novelty, all while she crafted much of the modern GOP ethos.
I wasn’t aware there was one about her!
Most of my information, outside of my baseline knowledge of her anti-ERA shenanigans, is from some recent Behind the Bastards episodes about her.
One of the greatest political operatives of the 20th century, in terms of how widespread her horrifying legacy is. She only cosplayed as a frumpy housewife all while trying to lock the US an eternal fictionalized version of the 1950s.
This is the one I had to transport back outside on a very noisy July 4th. The constant loud fireworks (most likely illegal) that lasted well past midnight must have been quite traumatizing.
