This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Alas, *walk of shame = hauling multiple cups and tumblers downstairs to the kitchen.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

Donald- So I just admit that I was wrong and I get to go into heaven?

Jesus- Yes my child. I paid the price for your sins when I died on the cross

Donald- But I have to admit I was wrong?

Can Democrats Mock Trump Into Defeat?

As the president embraces strongman politics, Democrats are increasingly trying to make him seem little.

Not every story involves gestation! Plus, giving birth is exactly the sort of thing that happens to other people.

Its certainly not something I was/am going to sign up for. Gestation is difficult, birthing is disgusting, and then you have to -raise- a child for 20+ years.

No thanks.

Looking at news, and just as I hope in any tragedy that the shooter was white? I hope the thing that is eventually gonna happen?

Happens on American soil.

Not something you want to happen on a road trip.

Of course this is right there with knotting/being knotted really representing a chance to feel warm and cozy and get some uninterrupted reading done.

Can you finish Winds of Winter in a single heat?

(That book being finished is as likely as my waking up an alpha)

Omega heats: a couple of days of pure supreme sexual bliss.

Then you get on with your life and what you were doing for a couple months.

It's a compelling argument

I remember a comedian once saying, "At least when we legalize weed stoners will have to talk about something else" and experience has not proven that to be true.

A great deal of the weirdness of the Omegaverse, in particular the early omegaverse variants can be understood once you know that it was invented by the horniest asexuals on the planet.

What if horny people who weren't into having sex with other people invented a sex trope? a/b/o it is
