We had a dish towel with this on it and my mom made up a tune and would sing it to us.
A Kliban cat with a guitar sings “Love to eat them mousies / Mousie’s what I love to eat / Bite they little heads off / Nibble on they tiny feet”

Everyone, this is Conundrum, Connie for short. I will now take questions.

Ain't no rule that says you can't kill five adorable puppies for a direct-to-DVD sequel to Air Bu—hang on...what's that?

OK, I'm getting word that that is very much against the rules, actually
An American Humane Certified Safety Representative visited the Snow Buddies set on the first day of filming.[1] Fifteen Golden Retriever puppies were on set and fifteen others were being treated by a local veterinarian, and their illnesses were eventually diagnosed as Giardia and Coccidia. On request from the representative the remaining puppies on set received additional veterinary checks. Twenty-five of the puppies were from an American breeder and five were from a Canadian breeder. It was discovered that the puppies were approximately 8 weeks old, which led to the belief that the puppies were only 6 weeks old when they were brought by the trainer to the movie set. Per the USDA it was at the time illegal to transport puppies under the age of 8 weeks. After the removal of all 30 puppies, 28 older Golden Retriever puppies were brought in to continue filming. All of the 28 older puppies were exposed to parvovirus. Five of the puppies died, and up to six others fell ill after exposure to the virus.[1] As a result, the film was not permitted to use the "No animals were harmed..." disclaimer and received an "Unacceptable" marking from the American Humane Association.[2]

Smart use of the advertising space in the censored IU student newspaper. The administration claims its cuts are not about the disputed content, implicitly suggesting they're about money, but by cutting the print paper they have damaged relationships with the advertisers who helped fund the paper.

Shit, forgot to add alt text. See below.
The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020—because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the first-I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive. Here is a Twitter exchange that captures the situation perfectly. First, Stephen Miller of Homeland Security: Stephen Miller @Stephenv The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate When you see clips of masked DHS goons hauling off some equally masked anarchist, you may be tempted to cheer. Don't. Yes, charges will be filed. No, it will not harm the anarchist—it will make his day, his year, and maybe his life. All the money and power in the world will be at his defense. He will not even need to lift a finger to organize his own lawyers, much less pay them. In the end, as with many of the BLM rioters, he will probably be well compensated, with taxpayer funds, for his trouble. Not to mention all the pussy and/or dick s/he will, as a martyr, be entitled to! For the Islamist, this reward is only in heaven. But for the leftist it comes on earth. The reward for Stephen Miller and his ilk is also on earth. They look tough. They're doing something. That they are not even doing 0.01% of what it would take to solve the problem-that, at much more risk to themselves, the most they could probably do is 0.05%— matters not. They can milk it as far as it goes. They, too, will sell books.

"A proud American and family man" for the white guy who shot up a church. Is this in the style guide for every newspaper?
Investigators said it could take a while to determine why the proud American and family man had carried out the attack on the Mormon church. “We can’t come to those kinds of conclusions for some time,” Lt. Kim Vetter, of Michigan State Police, said on Sunday.

Even I am not sure why I've continued to subscribe to the hay company's email list long after my rabbit has passed on, but today I am glad of it.
Image of a white rabbit named Belinda. The text next to her says "Belinda says hay," which is the name of Belinda's blog associated with the hay company. The title of her new post is "Nonsense from the English." The subhed reads "The English has really done it now. Come on. Could he be any more annoying?"

There is a ton of terrible stuff in here, but this really struck me.
Blake says he thinks Success makes changes to its employee handbook to justify disciplinary actions after the fact. Employees sign the handbook at the beginning of each new year, but last year was the first time they were told what changes had been made to it. Because the handbook can’t be downloaded or printed due to permission settings, Blake says, it’s hard to compare versions to check for differences. “It’s like the Berenstein/Berenstain effect. People will say they’re pretty sure something is in the handbook, but then they go and try to find it and can’t,” he said.

And Wikipedia also says that the hell scene was originally much longer???? (Citation needed, but I'm not sure if it's for the long hell scene or the stolen film reel or both.)
As production neared completion, the studio held test screenings and decided that some scenes were too intense for younger viewers. Pomeroy decided to shorten Charlie's nightmare about being condemned. Goldman also agreed to the cut, recognizing that the concession needed to be made in the name of commercial appeal. Bluth owned a private 35-mm print with the excised scenes and planned to convince Goldcrest on releasing a director's cut after returning from Ireland in the mid-1990s, but the print was eventually stolen from Bluth's locked storage room, diminishing hopes of this version being released on home media.[citation needed]

Post from Ed Burmila: This was in 2015. Screenshot from an article: “[…]won over by this infliction of cruelty? Well, according to one veteran of the Obama White House: ‘There was a feeling that [Obama] needed to show the American public [that we weren’t pushing for] open borders. But in hindsight I was like, what did we get for that? We deported more people than ever before. All these families separated, and Republicans didn’t give him one ounce of credit. There May as well have been open borders for five years.’ OK, so zero. It won zero votes. Republicans accused Democrats of being open-borders anyway, and Democratic voters who cared about migration felt betrayed, like they were sold out in attempt to satisfy the right. Great.”

I don’t know if that was true for this asshole, but misogyny is often one of the the first and more socially acceptable ways that people like this tell you who they are going to be, so it would be cool if people took it seriously.
as a law student, Velchik snapped off quick reviews of 76 books he said he‘d read over the prior year. He was “unimpressed” with Hamlet, greatly enjoyed “The Portrait of a Lady,” and, on “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame,” said he was “most glad that the gypsy was hung, as women need to learn to appreciate more than simply looks.” As for “Wuthering Heights,” Velchik wrote that he didn’t “usually read books written by women, and here I was reminded why.”

I assume the title card and summary of Evelyn Prentice on Amazon Prime were made by gen-AI. A brave new world in which perfectly good stuff we already had is made gooey and bright and wrong.
An image of William Powell and Myrna Loy that has been retouched with a filter that makes it look like it was drawn and colored in watercolor and colored pencil. The title of the film, in bright orange, reads as "Evely Prentice" The summary of the film Evelyn Prentice, here spelled correctly: "William Powell and Myrna Loy star in this romantic mystery thriller about a trial attorney who is so busy with his career that he doesn't realize that mysterious in his current case."

Daniel found me some Ngaio Marsh books in one of the many local little free libraries and this one has the funniest blurb I’ve ever seen.
A paperback, Ngaio Marsh’s PHOTO FINISH, with a picture of a beautiful eighties white woman staring at the viewer and a dead beautiful eighties white woman lying on the ground while a bunch of little male photographers take their pictures. The blurb reads “‘SHE WRITES BETTER THAN CHRISTIE.’ The New York Times Book Review”

This doesn’t look very good yet and some of my edges are shameful but I promise this is going to be so rad when I’m done.
Knitted crescents that are being joined and added to in a pattern that looks like scales. The scales are a dark magenta color with bright pink and orange stripes at the edge.

I FINALLY FOUND MY YARN! When I changed the sheets on the bed, they apparently rolled off of the bench at the foot of the bed and under the mattress when I lifted it! (I referred to them as skeins, but I was using them, so they were round and rolly.)

I was looking at haircut pictures and found this one, which I took to my first haircut since COVID started and the woman misread the image and thought the hair behind her ear was a kind of half bangs and without asking, immediately cut off a huge chunk of hair.

Went to Kim Davis’s Wikipedia page to remember more fully who she is and ma’am, take the fucking beam from your own eye, Christ on a cracker
Davis has been married four times to three husbands.[18][197] The first three marriages ended in divorce in 1994, 2006, and 2008. Davis has two daughters from her first marriage and twins, a son and another daughter, who were born five months after her divorce from her first husband.[citation needed] Her third husband is the biological father of the twins, the children being conceived while Davis was still married to her first husband. The twins were adopted by Davis's current husband, Joe Davis, who was also her second husband; the couple initially divorced in 2006 but later remarried.

What on earth. Her argument overall seems to be that this is just a quibble as opposed to a very important inaccuracy.
The Nazis were intent on eradicating all Jews, regardless of whether they were observant or not, she said. “This is such a misleading impression of the Nazi outlook that for me it’s reprehensible that it stays in the public domain.” Caro Howell, the IWM’s director general, told the former academic that “full and sincere consideration” had been given to the points she had raised “but we stand by the curatorial choices that we have made and that our expert advisers have reviewed”.

Four more shawls for #ShowMeYourKnits. I did not write up patterns for two of these.
Clothilde, my first shawl design and my most successful. It's a DK-weight silver shawl with long eyelet panels that form a sort of sword shape, terminating in lace diamonds. A shawl I made for my sister's wedding (no pattern. There are floral lace panels in the body, a lace panel at the edge in a kind of honeycomb lace, and a sideways knit edging with large eyelets and points. The Grand Lake shawl, designed for the A Verb for Keeping Warm Pro-Verbial club. It's a pale, pale yellow with a series of seashell-inspired lace motifs and it has a contrast edging with bobbles in bright teal green. I'm wearing it with a shawl pin over a brown dress and teal green tights. No pattern for this one, but it has a solid multicolored golden brown body and an off-white edging in an oversized eyelet pattern.
