Squirrels are just the best. If anyone goes to visit Taiwan - which I certainly recommend as strongly as possible - there's a park in the capital Taipei called 2/28 Memorial Peace Park (二二八和平紀念公園).
There are these gorgeous squirrels with red bellies that will eat nuts right out of your hand. They'll come up to you, take a nut and then run off about midway up a tree. Using their back legs to hold onto the bark, they dangle head-down against the trunk, eating with their front paws. Then you look around and all the trees have these vertical furry tree-slug looking squirrels dangling against them. Just cuting it up cutefully.
Red-bellied plumpers is what my wife and I called them. They're just the best.
Jealous! My sister lived in that area and we went squirrel walking a few times on visits but I was never so lucky as to have one crawl over me.
That walking up to you and standing up behavior - I've started to see that at a cemetery here in Portland that we walk around, but so far all the squirrels have waited a short distance away for food to be thrown to them.
He didn't get ousted after all that sex trafficking of children he did. Maybe Republicans are sick enough of him that he will be expelled, but I'm not holding my breath.
public hangings of corrupt people would fix this so fast.
How?
We can't even stop police from continuing to do their job after they murder people, how are we going to give them the death penalty? And how is the state publicly murdering people going to discourage officers of the state from murdering people?
I can understand the feeling of anger but public hanging? Come on. People who earnestly want public hanging back are troglodytic fascists.
It was big news when Rudy Giuliani, once hailed as America’s Mayor, was indicted last month by a district attorney in Atlanta for allegedly being part of a criminal enterprise led by Donald Trump that sought to overturn the 2020 election results. Giuliani was back in headlines this week when he lost a defamation suit filed...
I'm mostly just surprised it took this long for allegations to come out - he's been obviously and incompetently acting like a Russian asset, in public, for some time now.
They didn't. It's been delayed again and again since April and they just decided not to wait any longer. Reddit has admitted it's not a great time for this.
