I’ve watched this Mon Laferte El Tiny like 15 times since it was posted two days ago; it’s tremendous: (pro tip: El Tiny concerts have English captions! Definitely worth it in this and most cases! Also, song #4 will probably … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Will Have the Most Extremely Normal Life

Of course, we’re seeing how … Continue reading The Thursday Politics Thread Stops Trading With The Open Thread
One of my favorite composers did the OST for the Koei Naval Simulation/RPG Uncharted Waters: New Horizons. I love it! Please enjoy this playlist Today’s Painting is Ship at Sunset Off Cap Martin by Ivan Aivazovsky! I like to imagine at least one of the six playable characters in New Horizons sees this exact view at once Continue reading Wednesday Politics Thread
Hi everyone! Welcome back to Tuesday. Cordy here, stepping for Sheleeta. I thought today I’d spotlight some great recent articles from ProPublica. Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas Wedding Was Secretly Bankrolled by Russian Oligarch Close to Putin On May 24, Donald Trump Jr. was celebrating in the Bahamas, as scantily clad dancers in stilettos and sailor caps performed for him and his guests. It was the last night of his wedding, a lavish, three-day party held across a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands. A five-tier funfetti cake had been airlifted in from Florida, and helicopters and seaplanes descended on the islands … Continue reading The Tuesday Politics Thread
Howdy, friends. This week we are talking about the Inca jay, a close relative of the green jay we talked about a couple of weeks ago. Although they look similar, recent studies have shown sufficient differences on a genetic level … Continue reading The WPT is Onomatopoeic

How about y’all? I hope so. Let’s talk some politics! This week in SCOTUS: “The Supreme Court will choose soon whether Trump can illegally take over elections” It should be a simple question. And yet…https://tinyurl.com/3db35fxc Good article by Kevin Kruse: “Denouncing Extremists” – how the media treats Dems differently from the GOP. GASP. I know, right??! This is brand new information! But this is a well-cited article. https://tinyurl.com/ykj69shx And just a handy little analogy for you here. Get out there and grab this first full week of September by the horns and wrassle it into submission. Or just let it … Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics Thread enjoyed the long weekend
Howdy friends. This week we are talking about another Embertine OT post, the green jay. These birds live in southern Texas and the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico including the Yucatan peninsula, as well as south into Belize, Guatemala … Continue reading The WPT has been at this a While

So I will give you something to discuss instead: You are never able to button your shirt up correctly the first time. The plug never goes in the right way. Your socks are always a little too loose or a little too tight, but never correct. So those are my three suggestions. What would you deem worthy of heck? No threatening Mayor McSquirrel or anyone else. May your socks be correct today. Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics thread doesn’t have it today.
Howdy, friends. This week I thought we would take a break from cotingas and talk about a bird Embertine posted in the open thread a few days ago. That bird is the ocellated turkey, native to Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula and … Continue reading The WPT Does Not Gobble
Look, I’m posting this on principle because it’s my favorite Dolly song and relevant in many, many ways, but it’s a weeper on the best of days so obviously don’t click play. Be nice to each other today, be nice … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Won’t Let Sorrow Bring It Way Down
