Unelected billionaire real estate rip-off artists Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are on their way to Pakistan ‘negotiate” an end to the war. It’s unclear whether Iran will even be there – I mean, why would they bother? Pedo changes his mind every other minute. Top of the hour he’s proclaiming that he alone has secured a glorious peace deal (including loads of unagreed upon horseshit) and then, at half past, when called out on said smelly horse piles, he bangs on about how he’ll rain down terror and destruction the likes Iran has never seen before and blah, blah, blah…again, ad infinitum.

His script is old and hackneyed. He needs fresh writers. Or to just go the fuck away. Yeah, I like that option best.

‘Diplomacy is not closed’ between Iran and US: Al Jazeera’s Almigdad Alruhaid reports from Tehran said that no talks are planned in Islamabad for now, though diplomatic efforts continue, with Araghchi touring regional capitals as Pakistan mediates. (source) 

Good news – one of those idiot, dickless wonder, millionaires who gets his rocks off by killing animals and hanging there heads on his wall has died a horrifying (for him) and painful death. He was trampled while on the hunt. The herd that mowed him down included five female elephants and a calf. Score one for the matriarchy.

The NOT dearly departed predator's sick hobby was gutless, primitive, and disgusting. It totally gives severe, small schwanzed, deep-seated insecurity that, I'd think, would necessitate intensive inpatient psychotherapy.

Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old vineyard owner from California, was killed while hunting in Gabon’s Lope-Okanda rainforest, according to reports. Dosio had reportedly been stalking a yellow-backed duiker, a small forest antelope, when the group came across the elephants. (source) 

My question we all have is, are the elephants feet okay? I mean, they stepped in some seriously toxic shit. I hope they were able to wash it off quickly.

Bird of the day

The Secretarybird was Sex in the City WAY before that was a thing. This ultra chic bird looks like they could have been strutting down 5th Avenue in the mid ‘60s making everyone ooh and ahh. Okay, they probably don’t get to Manhattan to often – their scene is mostly Senegal and Somalia. Better weather there and shit. 

Like any NewYorker though, Secretarybirds have NO problems getting their steps in. They walk anywhere from 12 to 18 miles every damn day! Another New Yorker similarity, they enjoy a wide variety of fine dining options. These raptors are culinary adventurers.

…the Secretarybird will eat just about anything it can catch. It preys on small- to medium-sized mammals such as mice, hedgehogs and hares. It eats other birds and their eggs, too! It will catch amphibians and various invertebrates, including insects, scorpions, millipedes, and crabs. Secretarybirds also eat snakes, including several venomous species, such as puff adders and cobras, and other reptiles, such as lizards and small tortoises. (source) 

In ya win some, ya lose some news :

Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed that he received successful treatment for early-stage prostate cancer, without specifying when the treatment took place. (source) 

I’m only asking – why don’t these hateful, destructive, genocidal, old men fucking die? The Amazing Bob was only 74 when he clocked out and he was a spectacularly good human.

Another interesting bird – the guineafowl. They’re also walkers and get in about six miles a day. Yes, these birds are now my role models. Apparently they make good alarm systems for the home as, when disturbed, they make quite the big-ass loud fuss.

Also, they look like they were headmistresses of very strict Victorian era girls boarding schools. Intimidating yet stunning.
