taking in the trash

yamamanamaThere are diets listed for deer. They get hay, fresh grasses, saplings, leaves and branches, oak leaves, sumac, sweet feed for equids, apples and sweet potatoes. If we ever got deer, that is.
I'm not sure why they're there. Maybe it serves to illustrate why we don't take in deer in the first place.
I saw someone convince someone else to be against net neutrality because that's the conservative position.
I think in their imagined MAGA utopia, sites like Breit Bart and THEBLAZE will be given priority over sites like ResetEra and Talking Time.
Blogspot will definitely get priority, given that they're part of Google. So will Facebook and Amazon. I know a lot of people who would be perfectly ok with this happening. I think the only positive thing to come out of this will be the slim chance that web designers won't bloat their sites so much.
He's certainly undermined faith in democracy and I think the neoreactionaries and the ancaps would be ok with that. Monarchists are funny because just because a monarch is just and competent, it doesn't mean their heirs would be.
Michael says that if Trump leaves office in disgrace, they'll treat him like Nixon, that is to say, they'll distance themselves from him but they'll still support him.
Speaking of Trump's cult of personality, there's a collection of stories in which Donald Trump makes America Great™ and Trump orders a giant robot built for Barron and Canada is a dystopia in which white men aren't allowed education or housing or food. There are some excerpts and it's bad.
If I can find it. It's probably too obscure and too niche for either libraries (and I highly doubt it even exists in paper form) and piracy. I missed my opportunity to obtain an advance reviewer copy in exchange for a review on Amazon. Not that I'd leave one, of course. I really can't be fucked to get an account there and then spend 50 dollars.
the biggest name, I think, is Brad Torgersen. If I do somehow end up with this thing, I promised to not read any fiction by Torgersen after reading the free sample from some anthology based on the band Rush, and there I'm going to skip the Torgersen story. I'm sure that if you went your entire life without reading anything by Dawn Witzke or Chris Donahue or Richard B. Atkinson III, you wouldn't be missing out on anything.
Although I found After The Blast, which is uniquely profoundly bad, in that he sets out to write unobtrusive prose but he's so incompetent that it ends up drawing attention to itself anyway, and some books by Alma Boykin, which remind me of later Silverberg novels except on par with fanfictions in which the main character (I won't name any names and don't bother looking at the mood because it's not going to tell you anything) is just the writer with the serial numbers filed off. Michael speculates that like a lot of fanfiction, she just stopped writing after chapter 1, and when they don't, they stop writing because they eventually lose control of the plot. This makes more sense than going out of your way to purge it but leaving chapter 1 online.
Emily learned that bearded dragons have mighty jaws and can break fingernails. Her hand might fall off or she might turn into a bearded dragon.
One time, the MRSA chinchilla escaped and they had to bleach the entire room.
Sapir showed up with Hedgie. She wants a cat but Emily says she has Hedgie and that's pretty much the same thing. Emily's cat was sleeping with her in a position that made her very uncomfortable.
Iceberg lettuce is the equivalent of white bread and Laura said her sister's boyfriend is the equivalent of white bread.
Emily was singing a Christmas song because those are the only radio stations that play music in the morning.
Emily is not allowed to sing in med ward, as it stresses out the animals. But they can deal with bird songs and all those other noises in the wild, she protests. Sapir says "birds have beautiful songs."
Christine countered with the chickadee but Laura disagrees with that. Emily's go to example was the razorbill. Sapir insists that she meant songbirds. Christine brought up the blue jay, which are very pretty even if their songs are ugly.
Here is a picture of the razorbill.
And here's the brown snake.
The plural is moose isn't meese. And the answer is that moose is a Native American word and therefore became part of the English language when Early Modern English was spoken, but "goose" has been around forever and back in Old English, plurals happened by changing the vowels around.
Christine pointed out that other languages have gender. All chairs are female and all tables are male and all dogs are male and all cats are female, which is a common misconception even amongst speakers of English and presumably Hungarian or Mandarin Chinese. Sapir speaks Hebrew but I'm not quite sure how Hebrew works. I've read that gender is all in the verbs themselves.
I would ask about plurals but there are real answers to that question.
burning question: can you imagine waking up one day and finding that all the radio stations have been replaced by a little girl's voice reading out endless strings of numbers? It would be GREAT. And menacing. And GREAT.
