Words and Whales

Stinky is in Scotland today, the birthplace of his mother, for the opening of his brand new golf course in Aberdeenshire. How is he able to so brazenly flout the emoluments clauses

Loopholes. While visiting (and presumably playing at) his new course and looking in on his other Scotland properties, he’ll meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for “trade talks.” This will consist of his usual trash talking, whining, general airing of grievances, threats, grandstanding, and preening like a toddler who’s just taken a huge shit on the white dining room rug and is SO proud of himself. 

The White House is now just another division of the ultra tacky Trump Organization.

In general, the Scots have an open and robustly healthy disdain for our felonious, racist, rapist, pedophile, skeevebagian president. Of course they do and they have a beautifully poetic way of describing him too.

  • Bawbag-eyed fuck bumper
  • Cock juggling thundercunt
  • Custard-flavored jobbie (jobbie = piece of shit)
  • Degenerate corned beef faced, syrup-wearing wankstain
  • Glaikit heidbanger (an irritating and aggressive idiot)
  • Huffy wee fucking bampot (easily offended, obnoxious person)
  • Knuckle-brained fart lozenge
  • Leather-faced piss jar
  • Mangled apricot hellbeast
  • Onion-eyed flap dragon* 
  • Rotten orange fucknugget
  • Rotting bloated flesh bag
  • Rug wearing thundercunt
  • ToupĂ©ed fucktrumpet
  • Utter cockwomble
  • Weasel-headed fucknugget
  • Wee orange rodent

*  I’ve found a few meanings for “flap dragon.”

I’m betting the Scots who use the phrase flap dragon are intending that third meaning.

Too bad the late great Scottish comedian Janey Godley isn’t here today to harass the old orange fucknugget and get high fived by the constabulary. She died of ovarian cancer last year at the age of 63.

In other news, our orca buddies are back. 

On Monday a pod targeted a French yacht off the coast of northern Spain. As in past occurrences, the whaley boys go after the stern and then move in to break the rudders.

Volker Deecke, professor of wildlife conservation at the University of Cumbria said thatduring interactions, the animals remain cool, calm and collected without any of the behavioural signs of aggression such as splashing, or vocalisations.”  Maybe the orca think the yachts have kidnapped the humans and, by disabling the go mechanism, they’re giving the humans a chance to escape? COULD BE!

In other orcas-feel-sorry-for-us-because-we’re-clearly-inferior news, they’re bringing us food.

Perhaps, they hypothesized, the killer whales are curious and exploring how humans will react to a gift. Maybe they are playing, though they largely discount this theory because whales of all ages, rather than just juveniles, provisioned food. Or, perhaps it is something more sinister – killer whales have been known to use prey to attract other species and then kill them, but there is no record of orcas ever killing humans in the wild. 

“I don’t think it’s easy to suggest there is one reason for this behavior because there are underlying mechanisms and proximate causes,” Towers said. 

The main underlying mechanism is simply that they can afford to offer us food and the main proximate cause may be that they are doing so as a way to explore and subsequently learn more about us.” 

In all but one of the cases documented, the killer whales initially waited for a response from the humans before most of them retrieved the food, though some simply abandoned it and some even tried to gift it again. (source

Possibly the orcas see us as not too terribly bright (they’re not wrong) and are trying to feed us, bring us into the pod so we can be properly raised and cared for?
