Fuck today.
Fuck this week.
Fuck this month.
Fuck this year.
I have never begged the Universe more for a Monday hangover. 🍾
I'm calling it now -- during the second song of Bad Bunny's halftime performance, It Will Finally Happen.

The CGI on Neill's and Goldblum's faces just makes it weird.

This clip of John Williams & Steven Spielberg tinkering with the E.T. theme will always have me floating. History in the making.

Literally a living genius.

Happy birthday, Mr. Williams!

Don't you dare eat that communal dip with crackers. You scoop that shit and double-dip with your fingers like a real man!
Can someone remind me if I’m supposed to be angry about the woke scolds running the government, or if I’m supposed to pump my fist and say “Fuck yeah, eating salami, meatballs and chili to own the libs!!!”

OMG 😻
Roxi , 4 mos old, & Dandie 2 yrs old, are STILL waiting for their forever home together.… While Dandie is not fond of other cats and dogs, he fell in love with little Roxi and is teaching her everything he knows .

Freedom 250, the Trump-run group the NYT reports is offering big donors special access, has totally supplanted America250, the congressional org that had been organizing 250th events, as we reported last week .So Trump is turning 250th into a party for himself, with taxpayer $, but no oversight.

RIP to the Chip Clip® that has served me and my family for over 20 years. 🫡

This is, at least, a Golden Globe-worthy performance.
Calm it cat. You're not Alan Rickman at the end of Die Hard.

They're sooo cute....and kinda judgy. #SuperbOwl
In honour of #SuperbOwl Day, here is an exceptionally fierce, though rather tiny, Saw-whet Owl that greeted us at the trailhead one morning years ago.

JFC, my sinuses are absolutely livid about existing today. I'm sorry, my dudes. Blame evolution or something and stop taking it out on me.
February 8, 2026 at 6:43 PM
As soon as I posted about not seeing Superb Owls, they came into my feed. Yasssss.
February 8, 2026 at 5:49 PM
I love how polite they are at taking turns.
The geese from last month’s emergency rescue are doing well! We are not sure what we’re going to do with them, to be honest. We’re not set up to keep them permanently, but they would have died if we had not taken them from the homestead where they were found.
February 8, 2026 at 5:46 PM
This is cool. And with a jaunty Bad Bunny to boot.

But, why have I not yet seen any Superb Owls in my feeds today? 🦉
So I heard we’re posting super bowls. Here’s a Fatimid lusterware bunny. Islamic lusterwares originate in Iraq to emulate the sheen of Chinese porcelain, but the combo with highly animated-looking Fatimid animal motifs is my favorite. He even has a little snack.

#COTD King's a big cheeked sweetie who LOVES treats, especially churu! He's a former community kitty who was rescued when he walked up to a TNR trapper, seeking affection. After testing positive for FeLV, he found his forever home with us!

In 1975, Miami resident Mae Belle Cain's mother died. She was to be buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, in a family plot that they had bought when her stepfather died in 1952.

However, there was a problem: there was already a body buried there.

Cain soon found another body in her own grave as well.

Rescue Bowl is about giving every animal a moment in the spotlight. Today we are sharing some of our longest-waiting dogs and cats who are still hoping for their forever teams. Adoption changes lives, and visibility matters.
